This contest will involve daily posts on my blog, so I decided to post info on it a week in advance so you folks can be ready to check my blog once a day for a few weeks.
You are tasked with solving a phonetic rebus in the style of the old game show
Concentration. You can play an old abandonware DOS game based on the 1987-1991 revival
Classic Concentration here. Here's an example I made:
The answer is HARRY HOUDINI (hare+E hoodie+knee). Just sound out what you see, and you'll get it!
The catch in this contest is that the rebus will be hidden by 25 numbered squares:
Every day from February 2, 2020 through February 15, 2020 (excluding Wednesdays, so as not to distract from Wordy Wednesday), some of the numbered squares will be removed at random at 12:01 AM Central time (3 squares on the first day and 2 squares every day thereafter). Submit your guess to the rebus answer to glmathgrant[at]gmail[dot]com to be entered in the contest. There is no penalty for a wrong guess (so guess away!), but you're limited to
one guess per revelation. The sooner you submit the correct answer, the more contest entries you get (12 entries for solving on the first revelation, 11 for the second revelation, all the way down to 1 entry for the final revelation). One randomly-selected winner will win my board game
Mammalath (with the Mammalath Plus expansion)! The game Mammalath can now be played on
Board Game Arena, as well, but I trust that you'll enjoy playing it with your
real-life friends, too. :)
Good luck!
