Tanki Thinking Challenge

[missingknight 408]

I think that number 4 is wrong. Should be 6 letters.

Phew! Glad someone else thinks it's wrong.

With that, and the other one, I was confused, and so I didn't enter as fast :(.

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

What is the module question, PM only please. :(

Which one? :lol:

 

If you're talking about the melee combats one, I have a solution for you. I couldn't figure it out myself either, but if you look at the crossword itself you'll see that Column 4 (the module question) intersects with Row 6, and it shouldn't be to hard to figure out the answer to that one. Once answered Row 6, go to the letter where they intersect and find the only module which fits in. :P

But the question says ONLY for melee combat. I've learnt to be very cautious of Isshos English.

Issho has already made a mistake this time, we cant trust him to not make another.

There's only one module name which is 7 letters and has an 'I' as the third letter...

In the wiki it says "mostly for melee combat" and nothing else, and I'm assuming that that is the one is supposed to be the correct answer? But it doesn't fit with the amount of letters, so I put the other one (and I prolly got it wrong then  <_<) 

 

And in the past Issho has screwed us up by making the actual thing not match the crossword picture itself (on purpose), so I'm not gonna trust that... :ph34r:

 

I think proofreading the TTC (after the quiz itself has been made) even just once would help us out a lot instead of keeping us in suspense not knowing what answer to put - I know it takes a lot of time to do this, and I do appreciate the practically free crystals, but checking it over to make sure there aren't any mistakes or ambiguities would be greatly appreciated by many, I think.  :D

Done in 30. Lost A LOT of time searching for the last one and 7 I think. That was a difficult one.

[NewbieCake 3,067]

Row 10 is so difficult.

[ironsi 9]

Issho i just discovered that someone else in addition to used the email daudiem2@gmail.com for the thinking challenge.I don't think the person was able to submit but just in case please is it possible to ignore the second answer.The first is mine.I put in the nickname of an account called ukotg.

Row 4 is not wrong, it is just worded in a tricky way. I admit that it was a bit too hard and that it could possibly be mistaken, but you need to think about two things:

1. you must follow the letters' indication
2. you must fill the crossword in a way that all the answers match with each other

 

"mostly for melee combat" literally means that said module can be used in other contexts, but "for melee combat" literally means that said module has to be used in that context only.

As some of you asked me, the complete definition is "for melee combat, as well as short-medium range" — this, in English, would be a definition + a condition. "This module is for melee combat only, but you may use it in other contexts".

Meanwhile, the other definition "mostly for melee combat" would become "This module can be used in any context, but mostly for melee combat".

 

The stronger definition, the one that can be associated with "only for melee combat" is the first definition — "for melee combat, as well as short-medium range". It expresses a definitive field of usage, but allows exceptions. The other definition DOES NOT define a definitive field of usage, but only an open decision.

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

yes but the description of that module doesn't match with the one asked in the question

 

 

Edit : And so, if the correct answer is considered, it wont fit with the other answers of the crossword & hence the crossword will fail

What? :mellow:

 

Row 10 is so difficult.

So hard...

The question says "melee combat only". I don't see how a description of melee combat AND short-medium range combat suits here. When you put 'and' in a sentence you can't just refer to the first part and completely ignore the second. There is a reason that 'and' is there

Honestly, I personally build each Tanki Thinking Challenge, set the layout, the questions, test them one by one, every question, and then I schedule them.

 

A mistake can still slip, but consider that those are rare and I always admit them and give appropriate compensations or walkarounds when it happens. You shouldn't be saying the above without knowing what stands "behind the scenes".

Read my post more carefully and you will see what I mean. It was an HARD question and it was tricky, I admit it, but it was nowhere near to being a mistake :)

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

Then issho, please explain how NOTHING in the "melee only" series fits the crossword?

I didn't say it was wrong. :P I just put the only module which fit. Despite the question, there was only one module name which fit in (7 letters, 3rd letter is 'I').

It fits correctly. Column 4 and Row 6 match perfectly.

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

... It was an HARD question ...

Cool.

 

Then issho, please explain how NOTHING in the "melee only" series fits the crossword?

I'll do it for him:

You're wrong, there is an answer which makes sense once you know it...
