We had a mighty good puzzle #12 with so many magnificent and original entries! Very high quality, thank you all for the work you put in! Some of the words were dazzling and some very funny!
After some deliberation, Senior Consulting Judge @perlanacarada and @leeuw determined that @sheskanto is WINNER! But not after a nail biting cliffhanger sort of tie that wasn't a tie: both had 8 words, @sheskanto was first but @teresah had a longest word. The jury panel decided, using the words of @parlanacarada, that
'the rule says, Winner: "first to comment with the most words in the string of letters". So @sheskanto commented at 10:34 a.m. yesterday, @teresah 18:01 p.m. of yesterday's day so the winner is @sheskanto and subchampion @teresah the tie would be given if they had commented at the same time.
Here are the results:
@sheskanto - winner: 5 STEEM in upvotes using smartsteem vote buying on @sheskanto's next posting @teresah - runner-up: 2.5 STEEM (increased the prize due to the very high quality of entry) @jennimorillo - 1 STEEM, most beautiful word: AMOR!
I decided to reward additional 1 STEEM to these exceptional entries:
We thank @perlanacarada for co-judging the contest fairly and detailed with a 5 SBD jury service compensation.
@sheskanto, please kindly confirm your acceptance of @leeuw submitting your next posting on STEEMIT to smartsteem.com for a 5 STEEM purchase by @leeuw of votes on your next post's behalf. If you wish to decline then i will make a prize payout of 4 STEEM to your wallet. A 5 STEEM smartsteem vote purchase normally results in a automatic blockchain payout 7 days later of 2.5 STEEM + 2.5 SP (+ 10% or more profit). NOTE: in today's (!!!) HardFork 20, vote payout algorithm changes in ways that may or may not yet be fully optimized in smartsteem's vote buying algorithms, hence abberations may or may not happen as a result.
Thank you all very much, have a great week and see you next time!
