The 2021 Bash Puzzle Contests will follow the same format as the last several years.
There will be a variety of contests: Wood Identification, Trivia, Word Games, and whatever else I can think of. There will be approximately 10 individual puzzle contests, with the exact number TBD.
Each contest will have its own thread and specific rules, but the general IAP Contest Rules will apply to each puzzle.
Each correct answer to an individual puzzle will earn 1 to 3 points toward the overall Puzzle Contest Prizes. First, Second, and Third place prizes will be awarded.
All correct answers to an individual puzzle will be entered into a drawing for a prize for that puzzle. You can only win one individual puzzle prize, but you can still win one of the 3 grand prizes even if you win an individual puzzle prize.
There will also be a prize drawing for people who enter one or more puzzle contests but don't earn a single point. So no matter how difficult the puzzle seems, you still have a chance to win a prize just for trying.
All prize announcements will be made after all puzzles are completed. This is to encourage people to keep playing as many puzzles as possible.
All answers must be submitted using the official puzzle entry form. Do not post any answers or actual guesses in the puzzle threads.
Some puzzles will be easy, some not so much, but everyone has a chance to win a prize, so don't be shy. I especially encourage our new members to participate in this contest even if you don't enter one of the skill contests.
You may post questions or comments in this thread.
