I'm sorry, team. There won't be any quiz for a while, but I will give you a chance to make up what you've missed today. 
The next challenge won't be until sometime next week, either monday or tuesday.

I know, I had the person dumb it down. It looked much better, until it was re-worked. The major thing was, the other two looked smoother compared to the real pic, in an attempt to distract attention away from it.

And it worked...

I thought that it would bug me that we chose the one on the right. Compared to the one on the left.

How the heck are we supposed to guess who's professional if you dumb it down? We might as well have picked a random picture.

cap, my intent is for the challenges to be difficult, not for you to figure them out instantly. There were clues that pointed to which picture was the correct one. Noelle noticed them, even if no one else did.
Okay, an important announcement about this next challenge. It will not be run as normal. Instead, it will be an individual challenge for everyone. In a little while I will be PMing each player their challenge. It is a 'find the words' challenge, much like the latest Lenny Conundrum. Each person will have ten words they have to find. For every word you find, you earn 1k for the group pot. But there's a catch-you're not allowed to know which words you're looking for. You have to find them yourself. All the words in each challenge relate to each other somehow. If you get all ten words right, you can guess how they relate to each other. If you're correct, you will earn an additional 5k for the pot. Simply PM me your answers once you've finished. They will be due tomorrow at 12:30PM EST, but you don't have to wait until then to turn them in. Just send them whenever you think you're finished.
Oh, and one more thing-one of the word scrambles has a neopets username in it. It's one you've seen before, so it won't be as difficult to find. If you find it, make sure that it's a user who has a thumbprint on one of their pages, then include the name with the other words you found. If you find it, you win an exemption from the next execution.
Any questions, please post here or PM me.

Yow... tough. I found 5 words, but I can't find single relation between them... must go look more!
Are there any words in there to throw us off by any chance?

Ah, yes, thank you for reminding me. There are no extra words in any of the word scrambles, and none of the words will be less than 4 letters long. (Because some random 3-letter words do occur)
And, some things are neo-related, others are not. Look carefully, there's usually one word that gives the theme away.

I knew the theme by the very first word. :p
I have two more to find, hopefully the words I have are right. I've been looking for them for about an hour. I need to find them so I can get the extra 5k. ^-^

Well, Kugetsu is the first to turn in his challenge. He managed to find 10 words, and he correctly guessed the common theme. He has therefore earned 15k for the group pot, which now stands at 64k. Well done.
