Thanks everyone 😀
All you guys rocked! The competition was fierce and it always was a close call between answering first and answering it right and ultimately learnt a lot of management prospects in such competitive events. Enjoyed playing with all of you.
@AKD and Biggie
Special thanks to you both for organizing such a wonderful event. All of us enjoyed a lot. Even my college mates got interested (and that's a shocking thing!). Splendid questions were framed, a collection of mixed bag questions that required brains, guts, timing, and the skill to make right decisions at right moments. Really loved them and we appreciate the efforts that were put behind them. Childhood phrases we learnt in school like "strike when the iron is hot" and "opportunity doesnt knock twice at the door" were understood clearly, perhaps for the 1st time. It always kept one on their toes and I often felt the adrenaline pump inside me during such moments. I hope we see many more such moments in CE where we get to vie ourselves against the wonderful CEans. Thanks a lot for everything CE has given till now. Waiting for more 😀

While copy paste Opti didn't notice that I am a typo master, and he just copied. 😁
And while checking AKD didn't notice that anyone else can also do the typo mistake other than me... 😁
Note: @AKD - you only noticed that 17 across is wrong... ???
Didn't notice that if you will see all down you even need not to use that. If any one can answer so many answers, he would not have been done a genuine mistake of filling 6 Chars in a box of 5 😀
Any way... don't want to spoilsport. This quiz doesn't matter much to me other than enjoyment.
First His --> Her (Question 6) and now this, no explanation 😀; I hope we will learn from my mistakes.

@ Quiz Examiner... If you would have caught the answer @SS would have been the winner... 😁
PS: nearest to answer will win this was not a rule.. 😁

@CB
yes, I copy pasted your reply and added what was wrong in there. Did not want to lose out on time typing everything again as all except that eminem was right. It was about being the fastest right so had to adopt all such measures 😛 Even I wondered how you could get that wrong.
Even the 1st two questions yesterday were got from Google provided results. Anyone could have got, just that I was lucky in doing it early 😀

I wish you could found another error...
6 down.. NAR should have been NRA ???? or if AKD could notice that SS would be a winner.

@CB: Why would SS be a winner? He didn't attempt answering it.
I think if we give it a fair call of judgement, since "NAR" does not fit in the crossword given, the coins of the last question should not be given to anyone.
What do you think CEans?

Was talking about overall quiz;
and I am sure answer for relative velocity / distance question is not sure; I can prove that. Considering that he was leading by 5 points

I dont want that.. my point was meaning of quiz / fastest is considered when there is a competition; if not speed doesn't even matter
Even though we will would not have considerd 6 down or 17 Across -- crossword could have been completed with other clues.
PS: I am neither interested in coins nor $; It was pure enjoyment and emotions.

So did I make efforts to check if you were right. Only slipped out on that NAR/NRA part as it looks all the same when u just glance over it. Cant trust you to make correct answers as such. But I didnt know about you being a typo master too else would have made additional efforts in checking on that.
and at least NAR and NRA are of equal size and they fit out automatically and clearly is a typo like u said. Eminem doesnt even fit into the size nor even into the context.
@AKD
Anything you decide is accepted. Lets not create an uproar over this thing on this special day. This could have been brought out tomorrow too as it wont change the standings but cant help since its done now.

So it is, am glad you take it that way. Mistakes do happen and we have to live with them so that they remind us later on about what had happened and help us improvise upon them. Lets not drag this further on this day. Let AKD and Biggie decide what they have to do. They have taken great pains to make it a success. I salute their efforts in this. Really enjoyed the entire event. Am happy competing with you guys too. Let them make the call. I'll be happy with whatever they decide 😀

Hmm...
Who comes first is of little importance here..
And I pointed that out here because the original question thread was closed and I didnt want to create a separate thread for this..
Nonetheless, even if the points for the crossword question is not counted, opti still comes first! 😀
So, let's leave it at that!! 😀

Well, taking the final call in the scene & thereby ending this discussion here,
I want to declare that : To have a fair competition & in the spirit of impartiality ( 😉 ) , the last 30 coins won't be credited to anyone's account.
So the Leader Board now is -
CEan-optimystix With 90 CE Coins
CEan-silverscorpion With 80 CE Coins
CEan-crazyboy With 20 CE Coins
CEan-Varsha With 20 CE Coins.
----------------------------------------------------------
PS: Editing the posts has been re-activated.
And yeah, I am closing this thread!
It has been a learning lesson for all. Let's try to make these competitions bigger & better in coming days.
I will need support from all of you. (especially, CB, Opty & SS! )
