IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

YOUR ACTION IS REQUIRED

Now that Eurovision is over, it is time to move on with this event and the pairing draw. The pairing draw itself will be an interactive event, so I hope as many people attend as possible, as interactive means just that - you will be involved in the selection of your partner. If you don’t turn up, someone else will decide for you.

But before we can do that, we need to come up with an order that will be used as a roll call for the interactive pairing. To make this as fair and transparent as possible, you will also have the power to influence where you end up in that order.

This is meant to be fun, so I think a game is the best way to do it. For those who have attended some of STRANGLES's country nights this season, the game is not new, but here is how it works for everybody: A picture has been cut up into puzzle pieces. Your task is to assemble the pieces correctly using the fewest number of moves and in the quickest time possible.

Click on the puzzle pieces to place them where you wish. Final scoring is decided by the number of moves taken, with ties resolved by how long it took you to complete it. To make it easier, click the little camera icon at the top right of the puzzle, so you are able to see the original image.

Once you have assembled the image, a score will automatically be attributed to you. The final ranking of the scores in the puzzle game will be used as order for the interactive pairing. You will also be able to see the scores other people have obtained.

Don't try to complete the puzzle more than once to achieve a better result - this will show and your worst result will be considered in such an event.

You may complete a practice puzzle prior to attempting the real one, if you wish. The links to the puzzles are below:

THE REAL PUZZLE: http://www.epuzzle.info/u/18dfed

(click the image on the pages to begin)

You can complete the practice puzzle as many times as you want, but you must only attempt the real puzzle once.

Everybody must complete the real puzzle before Wednesday, 18th May 2016 so we can proceed with organising the actual pairing draw. Please use your chat username as your nickname when completing the puzzle.

For clarification, because some people appear to be confused, the puzzle leaderboard is in no way connected to the final pairings. Rather, it serves as a roll call order for people to be called up to participate in the separate interactive pairing event which I would like to take place on Saturday 21st May starting at 21:00 UK.

Please let me know here if you are able to attend, as it will work much better with as many people present as possible because your fate will be in your own hands.
