I'll tell you this. It took me 8 minutes. I gave Poque a slightly easier version earlier today and it took him about 4 minutes.

Exactly, so I assume you guys will take about double my time (cause I do these kinds of puzzles all the time and am used to them) or 4 times Poque's time because he is actually just a sentient puzzle disguised as a human.

 Welcome to the Power of Veto competition. This competition is called Bridges and Islands The puzzle contains a series of islands where the number in each island tells you how many bridges connect to it (no more, no less). The object is to connect ALL islands together under the following conditions. 1) There are no more than two bridges connecting any two islands. 2) Bridges can only be vertical or horizontal. 3) Bridges cannot cross islands or other bridges 4) When completed all islands are interconnected such that you could walk from any island to any other island Here is a completed example:  There is only one correct solution. First person to post their correct solution in the thread wins the veto. You can post multiple attempts if you want, but I'll only be able to check so fast to get back to you, so better to be sure that you are right the first time. I'll give you 5 minutes to familiarize yourself with the rules before I post the challenge puzzle. Use this time to think of strategies, since there are a number of logical shortcuts that will help you solve it faster.

With my wisdom and intellect surely I will triumph here without problem! Surely my relatively poor spatial intelligence will not fail me!

CuriousCat, since you are HOH and the Veto holder, you can hold the veto meeting whenever you want between now and midnight tomorrow. Eviction will still be on Sunday, starting around 6:30PM with the next HOH challenge at 7PM. More details about that in a few days.

 I started on the left side and realized like 5 minutes in that there was an 8 and I shouldve started there. I botched the upper right corner and couldn't recover.

Time passes, and many are left by the wayside. A handful now, but soon to be a tidal wave of memories and the fallen. But there is no other way forward, no other way to grease the wheels of time and fate. Now is a time for storymaking, for the fashioning of narrative and the formation of roles. A few have already begun to weave their place within this story we are telling, but many remain quiescent, waiting for opportunities. Let me tell you now, those who stand in wait, now is the time to become those that you wish to become. Only by becoming the protagonist of our story do any of us have a chance to survive to see the end. But the way will be hard, the hard will lead us into darkness. The Jotuns await in the north, for the call of Surtr to send them off to battle. But we shall stand, a victorious few against their vile many. Remember this, heroes are needed, not those that stand by. Make choices and make them boldly and make them known. Skulk not in shadows, for that way lies the path of destruction. Form not alliances, for such things are mercurial and all bonds will shatter in the wake of the world's ending. Make friends instead, form true bonds that can withstand even the worst. And believe most of all in one's self, and one's potential. Know that the future is yours, if only you have the strength to grasp it. The horn sounds in the distance, battle will be joined soon, and blood will cover the snow, but those that survive will prove the stronger for it. A new chapter will begin soon, with the ending of the prologue and the rise to proper action. Strike forward my friends, and make your own destiny. Rise up and make yourself a legend!
