Hey Travis,

We successfully received all 4 entries. Ed is in charge of deciding the winners as he is the author of the challenge. Each challenge is a 2 month process. We happened to release this one a little early, but the official date was supposed to be May 1 - today. So submissions will be accepted through the end of the month with the winners announced soon afterwards.

See: Skillz H@ck1ng Challenge Details

We only accept 1 submission per person. Because of your concern that the entry may not have been received correctly, we felt it was only right to accept multiple entries. We're reasonable people. 

Since each challenge allows an entire month for submissions, many previous participants utilized that time to make a more 'pretty' answer. So I look forward to your creativity for our next challenge that begins July 1.

Thanks,
Don

No shame in it at all.

Your reason for wanting another submission was more for adding content as opposed to changing content which is commendable. Although we're trying to prevent the latter, we don't want to get into an argument after the fact with those who do more than just add creative touches. So all we can do is allow 1 entry and politely suggest taking your time if you want to add more thought to your answer.

BTW - We really do get into the narratives that some people submit. There are truly some smart people out there, but also some very talented writers as well.

So, just keep in mind that there are no rewards for early entries. All entries are read fully by Ed, and he has been great in personally responding to all participants. We have had a HUGE response thus far, so it may take Ed a little while to respond, but he has been incredibly generous with his time.

All the best and I look forward to your participation in other areas of the site.

Many thanks for being a member,
Don
