I realized it would have been smart to check before I committed to that path, and then I realized I could just use the disambiguation but I was too slow to figure it out.-

I feel like my way of going to cricket was good
Fantasy, list of fantasy authors, hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, lord's cricket ground.
I would not have expected to reach it through arcade games
But I saw that way was going to reach it.
Syrians were just to get to Syria in whatever way. (I went via Turkey)
I don't remember what method I used to reach list of fashion items (or just clothing, I looked at both), but in order to reach glove from there I had to go Wellington boots, rubber, latex, and it just seemed way to long.Holder of the Longest Continuous Weekly Mafiascum Post Record. 1 July 2012 - 16 Feb 2023

Round 2 Challenge: Eyeballing in the New Age
When I joined the site nearly ten years ago, there were two seminal challenges that reared their heads over and over again. One was Ready, Aim, Fire, which unfortunately is too difficult to adapt to a game of this form (and yes, this is the ONLY reason it wasn’t included). The other was Woodgears Eyeballing, an online game in which players were to identify (as well as possible) geometric points such as the center of a circle, the middle of a line, or the intersection of multiple lines. While this game still exists online, I’ve adapted it to the new age for today’s challenge.
When you submit the form to start the challenge, you will end up on a new form with eight eyeballing/estimation type tasks, two of four different types: identifying a distance on a Google Map, determining the size of a list of MafiaScum-related elements given a segment of this list (plus starting and ending criteria), determining the character count (excluding spaces) of a segment of text, and determining the fraction of a pie chart that’s filled in.
Your job is to complete all eight of these tasks as well as possible in a limited amount of time,ten minutes. Your score will be the sum of the difference (in percent) between your submission and the correct answer for each of the eight tasks. For example, if you submit 165 and the correct answer is 100, you are off 65% and will score 65 points. You cannot score more than 100 points for a task, even if you submit more than double the correct answer. The player with the lowest score will win the challenge and the player with the highest score will be eliminated. If you fail to complete the challenge in the ten minutes, you will automatically finish last unless another player takes even longer before submitting. If there is a tie for placement then the player who completed the task faster will be ranked higher.
No outside resources OF ANY TYPE are allowed while you’re on the clock for this challenge. That includes pen and paper, calculators, ways to measure pixels, access to other websites or other subforums of MS, and anything else you can think of.
NOTE: Some of the images may be slightly difficult to read, though they can likely be blown up relatively well by zooming in. For the pie charts, you will need to be able to distinguish blue from two shades of gray. Please let me know beforehand if this may be an issue for you and I should be able to accommodate in some capacity or find samples to see if it will be a problem.
The challenge starting form is found HERE. Deadline is in (expired on 2021-04-28 20:00:00).“The assumption of good faith is dead”

I've got something you can use as an inside resource
Real question:
Any chance you can clarify what this means, or is it a surprise challenge that will vex us laterdetermining the size of a list of MafiaScum-related elements given a segment of this list (plus starting and ending criteria)

Sure (since nobody has started yet) - I'm going to give you a screenshot of a portion of a list of something site-related. I'll tell you what the full list represents, and you'll need to tell me how many elements are in it.In post 95, Xalxe wrote:I've got something you can use as an inside resource

For a non-site-related example, say, I could give you this:
and tell you that this is a portion of the list of prime numbers in increasing order, and then ask you how many prime numbers fall between 500 and 1000.“The assumption of good faith is dead”

God dammit
If you’re not playing the game, don’t submit the start form without identifying yourself until after the challenge, because if you don’t do that then I don’t know if you’re a player that’s cheating
If you just submitted the start form with the code word “bagel” please tell me who you are so that I don’t have to kill and redo the challenge
