The Great Big GADC 7th Birthday Challenge and Treasure Hunt!

Good evening :smiley:
Can I ask why my name is highlighted in blue please :face_with_monocle:

Guessing it’s because it’s your name and you’re logged in … mine is blue for me.

It isn’t on our screens. Might it be because it is your name. And you are looking at it ?

@JoeC ’ s is the same :thinking:

It could well be an upgrade by the developers. We are not privy to such technical stuff. Mushroom management for ChallCom …

Not quite the same. The screen you are looking at has your name highlighted. On his screen your name isn’t highlighted.His is.

So we would suggest that it is nothing sinister and no doubt other people who are competitors and logged in will see their names highlighted - please don’t all rush to confirm!

Shame you’ve already got the points because there are a load of tower cranes in the background.

We will let the craneless work out where this is :slight_smile:

Do i recognise Feeder road Bristol here?

I am not sure if this is valid or not but I will put it out there and let the judges decide.

11. A tower crane - a video of between 15 and 30 seconds

  • Bonus for not being yellow, white or red (Looks like it has orange bits to me but base certainly is yellow)

So I might get 2 points, or 1 point, or 0 points :pray:

We have a call out to get the judges back in and sober them up enough to have a rational discussion.

Meanwhile it may be of interest for you to know that, although flagged on the screen as post 978 it is in fact post #1000 as can be seen if you click the chain icon at the bottom of it. (Some housekeeping posts are hidden hence the discrepancy)

It qualifies as a tower crane.

From the above:

So that would get you one point.

The yellow legs and various parts of the crane are somewhat obtrusive so we wouldn’t award points for it not being yellow.

But we are rejecting your entry as it stands for being 5 seconds too long :slight_smile:

And the smile is because you can either re-edit the video and trim it to between 15 and 30 seconds for a point or go and find another site with two or more tower cranes, one of which is working, not white, yellow or red. You still have 15 days to resubmit your original, edited, entry if you can’t find an alternative

They seem to call some mobile cranes a tower crane.
