Challenge 4: The Grand Galloping Gala
« on: April 08, 2019, 04:07:35 pm »
One night a year, the fanciest ponies in Equestria descend upon the royal castle in Canterlot for the grandest of grand parties.  This formal ball is an exclusive event, requiring a golden ticket to get in.  And tonight is going to be the best night ever; as princesses the three of us have unlimited golden tickets to hoof out and we’ve chosen all of you to be guests of honor.

Of course, you can’t just come as you are to the Grand Galloping Gala.  If you want hobnob with Fancy Pants or Prince Blueblood, you’re going to have to prove that you belong with Equestrian high society.  Fortunately, we’ve devised a little challenge to help you get ready.

When your tribe elects to begin the challenge, you all will be given a list of ten links.  Each link will have two numbers removed from it, with the location of those numbers represented by an underscore.  We will then give you clues as to what the missing numbers are.  When you figure out the numbers, the links will take you to an image.  You must identify the item or person in the image.

When you think you have them all, have a member of your tribe post a single list, all in bold.  You will get one point for each item or person you identify correctly.  The tribe with the most correct answers will win immunity. BOTH OTHER TRIBES WILL ATTEND TC. In the event of a tie, the tribe that submitted their list the fastest will win immunity.

Outside resources ARE allowed for this challenge.  If you have any questions, please ask them here.

Why can't we overthrow Equestrian high society instead?

Who is sitting out for Sweet Apple Acres?

1) Alicorn magic.

2) Flim and Flam are sitting out.

3) Imagine one of the items was found at https://i.imgur.com/L903URt.png. We might give you
https://i.imgur.com/L_0_URt.png
a) The number of lives cats are said to have
b) The number of blind mice in the nursery rhyme

and then you'd say "That's Princess Celestia!"

and we post all of the answers in our Tribe thread all at once, correct?
Listen here, you rabid rhododendrons! You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!

Looks like all three tribes have prepared for the Gala early!  But who gets the tickets? And the immunity that comes with the tickets?

First of all, let's see some answers.
1) Horsehead nebula
2) Mr. Ed
3) Li'l Sebastian
4) Shetland Islands
5) (Drill) bit
6) Horseradish
7) Mudbray
8) Horse collar tackle
9) Ford Bronco
10) Roman Reigns

Who missed the fewest?

Find out in here!
As it turns out, everypony got them all correct!  Looks like we have to go to time.

In third place...
...is Sugarcube Corner, who finished in 41 minutes, 58 seconds!  They will be attending TC tonight.

The margin between first and second was VERY close.
Like, 25-seconds close.

With a time of 28:16...
...Sweet Apple Acres has taken slightly longer than Carousel Boutique's 27:51, meaning that Sweet Apple Acres is going to TC and Carousel Boutique wins immunity!

TC threads will go up shortly. You have 25 hours for this one.
