Below are the correct answers to the Christmas Scramble. A number of you turned in correct answers on all seven of them. Only a few participants correctly unscrambled the bonus answer, and nobody claimed the big prize by answering it correctly.
1. Gremlins
2. Scrooge
3. Hans Gruber
4. The Grinch
5. Jack Frost
6. Scut Farkus
7. Mr. Potter
Circle/Diamond clue: Ramses Asset?
Answer: $20,000 Pyramid
That was a reach maybe, but I don’t care, because if you haven’t figured it out already I did it to clue the upcoming gameshow “$20,000 Pyramid”! The twelve little elves who attempted this puzzle already have reserved spots if they want them. There are just four spots left. If someone had solved the bonus answer they would have received extra time in the first round. Oh well.

Definitely want it!
-
Oh, for fun!
Though let’s not forget I still don’t have results for Boggle.
-
Patience.
-
I’ve waited eleven months. Does that not qualify as patient?!
I thought “Ramses Asset” was still going to refer to a Christmas villain. I had no chance of getting it.
-
Ditto- could not find a damn thing that related Ramses and Christmas. Really wondered what I was missing!
-
-
-
I’ll tell you the result: I had my worst round ever, you win. Let’s just leave it at that and not publicize it.
-
-
I also thought Ramsey Asset was going to refer to a Christmas villain. I was looking for Egyptian – themed Christmas bad guys.
I didn’t find anything.
-
And yes, this does seem like fun. I’m in.
-
-
I decided to blithely ignore the circles and diamonds and go for the obvious Christmas villains, Master Asses.
-
I quit trying after coming up with Smears Seats. I didn’t even bother submitting it.
-
I’m assuming everyone that found “smears sears” found this story, as well…
-
Yes, I did. Dammit, adobery.
-
Certainly didn’t seem very Christmasy, but I still wasn’t going to submit the thing.
-
-
-
-
Sure. I’ll do this.
-
How’s this going to work. I could be game for $20,000 Pyramid.

Here is the description from the last time
“The time commitment is somewhere between 5-15 minutes depending on how far you advance.
Players would be divided into groups of four. Each player would get a board with seven words that belong to a theme that they would have to provide clues for. Then you attempt to solve the boards the other players in your group provided clues for. You receive points for every correct answer you guess and for every word of yours that is guessed by others.
There will be two winners from each group that move on to the next round with a total of three rounds. The two finalists go head to head with a board much like the final round of Pyramid.
You will receive 5 CJ points just for playing, and an additional 5 points for each round you advance.”
-
Must I be available at a specific time, or any and all times TBD, or play as I am free (within reason)?
When might this game take place?-
You are given x number of days to complete each stage. You’ll be sending an email to a specified address with an auto-responder that gives you the clues/words. You can do them anytime you feel like within the given time frame.
-
I can probably handle that.
Sounds like fun.
-
-
-
-
-
Sure, provided there are lots of reminders and extensions when I miss deadlines.
-
I’m game. (Get it?)
-
I’ll give this a try.
-
all right, I’m in (if you’ll let me since I didn’t do the scramble.)
-
I mis-understood. I thought the Final clue was to answer the question “Anti-Christmas Gang?” So, “Masser” was a hope that “Mas” was Christmas.
Ugh. Maybe next time I’ll fully read the instructions. -
I’ll play if still room.
-
I suppose I have to defend my title.
-
fishing things to catch fish
my finest $20,000 pyramid moment!

OK, fine. I’m in. I need another thing to half-ass this month.

Yeah, I really kind of went for it on that.
