To the Host: Could you please tell us if these are the same people who were so generous in giving so many 0.5 votes?!...
This is not acceptable!....

The 2 voters who gave the 5th ranked entry its 2 5 stars, gave everyone else 1/2 star.

I hope you know who those guys are; besides Johan Huang, himself! ... The winner got 3X 0.5!... And so many others as you noticed.

Only one entry ( #5 ) - without 0.5 votes ...

This is one of the most difficult challenges I've seen . . . I wish I had noticed it during the Submissions stage. I'm not sure how I would have expressed the idea. A beautiful nature scene? My newborn child? (cliche, I know, but that's how almost every parent feels) Some amazing architecture?

The automatic winning image would obviously be the clinching moment from the 1969 baseball World Series. If the terrible NY Mets winning the series--against all odds--does not convince you of a higher power in the universe, then nothing will. :-)

It's an out-of-box challenge again. It is also a nice self-test for those which find it hard to respect other people's views, and simply have to force their own. I find this hilarious, as it reveals the deep (though a tad unsavory) truth in the saying: "Beware of those who have read only one book!" :)

Is the purpose of this and other challenges by our host, perhaps mainly so that FNG303 can have fun watching everyone bickering back and forth about his titles that are often considered provocative?
