Odd Balances of Love and Hate Group Contest

This contest is for Odd Balances of Love and Hate ONLY! Please be sure to put your username in your author notes!!!! I am currently poor in points but if you want you can donate some to help the cause!!!! Lol, and it might...help me look more CLOSELY at your poem. HAhahah Just kidding everyone has a fair chance. Ok well here is what to write about, something about the past, having to deal with it, and how it affects your everyday life. It can be about abuse,rape,broken heart,lost love,hate,death, et cetera. So thats about it now on for the rules

1) NO sTicKY CaPS UnlESs COmPleTelY NECessArY GoT iT?

2) YOU MUST HAVE YOUR USERNAME IN THE AUTHOR NOTES!!!!

3) I tend to favor new poems over pre written!


OK and something else, I am posting a riddle, it costs 2 points to take a stab at it but whomever gets it right first, will get 20 points lol, I know i am a cheapskate. And don't worry those who try and answer after it was answered correctly will get their points back, so enjoy:

Riddle:

In a contest, four fruits (an apple, a banana, an orange, and a pear) have been placed in four closed boxes (one fruit per box). People may guess which fruit is in which box. 123 people participate in the contest. When the boxes are opened, it turns out that 43 people have guessed none of the fruits correctly, 39 people have guessed one fruit correctly, and 31 people have guessed two fruits correctly. The Question: How many people have guessed three fruits correctly, and how many people have guessed four fruits correctly?


THANKS TO BEAUTIFULDISASTERXX, WHO DONATED 150 POINTS!

  • Final notes:
    Ok well I loved everyone's stuff but I couldn't pick everyone so i gave everyone a a Honorable mention (although i can't afford it) There was one poem that would have gotten either 1st or second but the username was not in the authors notes so I had to give thema HM. I do believe there were 1 or 2 people who were not in the Odd Balances of Group but I included them. This was my first contest next time things will be judge harsher. Hope you had a good time, give me some feed
