What is it?
- This is November!
Every year November 8 is Dunce Cap Day. Where does it come from?
Duns Scotus of Duns, Scotland was a medieval scholar. Duns Scotus believed that cone shaped hats increased learning potential. He believed knowledge would flow from the point of the cap, down and into the head of the wearer, making that person smarter.
It motivated the wearer to learn more, so he could be rid of the the cap, that’s for sure.
This November 10th is Sesame Street Day! Did you know that Sesame Street is the most widely viewed kids’ show in the world? Though initially meant to simply be fun and educational, the show has evolved into an international cultural phenomenon. Let’s use this day to spell out our love for this unforgettable program!
This year Thanksgiving is the 26th. Tucked between the two monster sized holidays of Halloween and Christmas, Thanksgiving receives far less attention. But Thanksgiving is a very important holiday, especially in the busy lives of Americans. It is a time to kick back and relax, watch a (virtual?) football game or go to a movie stay safely home, and enjoy a huge feast.
Let’s play
- This is our busy month with tokens on every date. You know me, I’m always hidding stuff behind tokens.
- So behind each token there is a reward:
1 x
worth 50 WRZ$
1 x
worth 15 WRZ$
1 x
worth 0 WRZ$
23 x
worth 20 WRZ$
4 x
worth 30 WRZ$ - The contest will be open for 30 minutes at the end of which the rewards will be randomly placed.
How do you play?
- Post one number between 1 and 30.

Rules:
- One post per player, any more and all your posts will be disqualified.
- Posts without a valid number will be ignored.
- Dupes are allowed.
Rewards:
- If any player finds The Cookie Monster, everybody wins 15 WRZ$. Cookie Monster has priority one over the other prizes.
- If any player finds The Turkey, everybody wins 50 WRZ$. The Turkey has priority two over the other prizes.
- If any player finds The Dunce Cap, no reward for anyone. The Dunce Cap has priority three over the other prizes.
- If only numbers appear then all of them will be added and divided between the number of players so everybody receives the same reward.
- Number rewards aren't cumulative, so it is in your best interest to spread your choice of numbers.
For example, if 5 players choose number 7 and the prize is 20, and 5 other players choose number 11 and the prize is 30, they receive 20+30 = 50/10 players = 5 WRZ$ each.
However, if all 10 players choose 10 different numbers and all have a prize of 20, they win 10x20 = 200/10 players = 20 WRZ$ each.
- Number rewards aren't cumulative, so it is in your best interest to spread your choice of numbers.
