I'm not Spanish I'm afraid...but there will be other opportunities to win a tile!

We're running for approximately 10-more minutes.

When the contest has finished, I would appreciate it, If players could refrain from sharing their answers, at least until I've posted the provided solutions and workings out as well as the winners.

Decar · « **Reply #32 on:** July 26, 2017, 04:00:52 AM »

Pens and Papers down... I'm no longer accepting solutions.

Don't worry I'll be announcing a new contest on this thread very soon!

Decar · « **Reply #33 on:** July 27, 2017, 12:23:29 PM »

So....

The time has come!

To share the answers!

Dish out some prizes!

And Generally pat ourselves on the back!

Here was my solution:

Here are the approximate response times from the contestants....in reverse order:

26th July - 9:02am - Paul:

Due to technical difficulties Paul's answer came in late, but I don't think anyone beat him to the submission.
Great to see you using Carcassonne Tiles Paul. I believes Paul also made a Video of his solution he'll be sharing with us soon.

25th July - 5:06 PM - Anemia

Anemia - you definitely look like the most happy contestant solving that puzzle!

25th July - 3:48 PM - thodekey

Beautiful use of the River Tiles thodekey!

24th July - 8:04 PM - thesteveallen

Great work straightening those block out!

24th July - 6:01pm - Danisthirty

An ingenious solution to the problem of not having blocks!

24th July - 2pm - Squiffything answers:

An impressive work Squiffything - that was a rapid, no-nonsense response.

24th July - 1pm - The contest begins!

So by my count... There were actually 7 unique solutions to the problem...but no individual found more than one of them

I have to say that Anemia's solution is by far the most unique - well done again!

And now the prize giving!

Here are the tiles I presented at the start of the contest:

In the order in which I've received correct results.. you may select one tile.

1)SquiffyTheThing
2)Danisthirty
3)thesteveallen
4)thodekey
5)anemia
6)Paul

Paul just so you know. This is an Anne Pätzke, neither Dan or I have signed the tile

Anemia, if it's true you don't yet have a signed tile in your collection, I'm sure I can find an extra Klaus-Jürgen Wrede for your unique solution!

Please let me know your selections...in order

PS/Edit: This is my 4000th post at Carcassonne Central - that's pretty amazing and a post well spent I think!

Yay me!

and yay all the others, Anemia deffo gets the best piccie result.

I'd like the maze tile please as I've only got my copies in the collection and I'd like a official version.

Sorry to anyone who'd got their eye on it.

Paul · « **Reply #35 on:** July 27, 2017, 01:54:23 PM »

I really like how everyone went their own way to create and solve this.

My video is now made public, with the solution:

I never thought to try different solutions, would have been fun to see how many I could find.

Thank you for the contest!

Paul

PS: LOL! I'll never hear the end of my error with the signed tile, will I?

Thanks again Decar for this great competition. Well done to everyone who had a go regardless of whether you managed to solve it or not.

Thanks. We still have a LOT of cardboard boxes left over from the move so this was bound to happen. Personally I think mounting it on yet more cardboard was a stroke of genius...

Congrats!

(but you're not having yet more merit from me for this achievement!)

Absolutely not!

Not at all. It was tempting because it was unique, but the Gingerbread Man has always been one of my favourite expansions so I already had my heart set on that. Please can I go for the cccc tile that's a single city rather than either of the 4-way splitters or the swirly one that looks like it's fresh out of Costa... (what's with that anyway?)

TheSteveAllen · « **Reply #37 on:** July 27, 2017, 02:41:42 PM »

I will go for the CCFF tile please. If you can give me Squiffy's address, I'd appreciate it very much so that I can call round and rob him of his labyrinth tile.

Well done to everyone who completed the challenge. It took me a little over 2 hours, so I think I was about the slowest contender.

thodekey · « **Reply #38 on:** July 27, 2017, 02:49:27 PM »

I like the fact that everyone came up with another solution. I'd like to go for the swirly one...i like surprises! I hope it's the size of a tile...

?

Decar · « **Reply #39 on:** July 27, 2017, 02:56:01 PM »

Sorry thodekey, that particular tile has been reserved for another purpose. If you like a suprise though I can put another side from the next bunch for you!

I've a feeling the swirly one has been swirlyised to indicate that it has already been claimed. I'd post another preference just incase this is the case...

EDIT: Decar beat me to it by 17 seconds!

That's OK. My bad. Sorry.
I don't own any of the C2 artwork so i don't have a specific preference. So i'll go for the winter edition CCCC splitter unless someone else prefers that one OR Decar, even better: surprise me.

?

Decar · « **Reply #42 on:** July 28, 2017, 01:28:05 AM »

I'll make an informed decision based on your instructions and other people's guesses

Just so people know Anne donated her Gingerbread misprint to the stash. So one of those tilea is not like the other...good luck working out which one though!

aenima · « **Reply #43 on:** July 28, 2017, 05:08:04 AM »

hello!

I'd like to have one of the 3 classic tile (in order of preference 1. the one with the garden, 2. the one like the start tile, 3. the church) or one of the cccc from Gingerbread.

Decar, you have also a message

and thank you again for the nice contest!
