    I'm excited to see how this unfolds, it looks crazy but oh so fun. I won't be around for the first few days of your challenge but I will be cheering you on from the back country of BC.

    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Well the list has been released, cue major panic!

    Can anyone help me with this one?

    133. VIDEO. This is a real Welsh word: "Llanfaurpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch." Find a Welsh person and have them say in Welsh "I am Welsh and I hate that I have to do this," and then they must say the lengthy word 3 times, without stuttering and without reading it.

    Whoa. That can't be real.
    Oh please let it rain today.
    Those that can be trusted can change their mind.

    Got that item done, thanks to a PJ fan :)

    Now going to attempt to compose a story using only the abbreviations on the periodic table of elements....

    I haven't even managed to begin it, didn't know where to even start :( Tried working on some other items instead

    Do the words that you write have to start with the abbreviations? (i.e. Na = Nail) Or, do you have to write one word for each letter? (i.e. Na = Not again) Does it have to be in order of the periodic table as given?

    So many questions! I'm curious.

    There's a lot of debate about the interpretation of this item. This is how it's written

    IMAGE. Create a short "Supernatural"-related horror story out of the abbreviations of the elements of the Periodic Table. You may only use each letter from each abbreviation once (so you'd have roughly - 225 letters to use). The more coherent the story, the better.

    I think you have to keep the abbreviations together but can use them in any order you like, as long as you only use them once. The way it's phrased is very confusing though

    It's not even worth that many points so I'm not sure I should bother spending hours figuring it out

    Are you 'permitted' to post your 2015 list? If so, maybe someone here can help you fulfill them.

    I don't think we're allowed post the list, just look for help with specific items :)

    I also need a couple of three-star generals for this item

    IMAGE or VIDEO. Get two uniformed, legitimate 3-star generals (or higher and retired is acceptable) to engage in a competitive, heated game of tick-tack-toe
