Dear judges, please extend the time for answering the questions. There are only two days left, and it's very difficult to answer 50 questions in just two weeks (especially since many have only recently joined). Remembering all this is quite challenging, and many also have other things to do. Let's extend the deadline to around the 13th.

Yeah, the point of the contest is to find someone who knows the lore, not someone who just started studying it for the sake of the contest! And if you know the lore of Might and Magic, you can answer all the questions in an hour.

It’s hard to say; it’s impossible to answer most questions with just one word, and there’s never enough time to write long answers.

You either don't know how to be concise or you type slowly:D

The response time needs to be increased, but because it expires the day after tomorrow. And answers are accepted from one person until they have answered all 50 questions. That is, you can send several answers in one email, and the rest in other emails. Everyone who has signed up to participate, please send your answers via email.

In that case, unfortunately, I cannot participate in the contest.

I'll post the correct answers in a couple of days. It's a shame that only two people participated.

The organization is just poor (but don't take it personally) - that's the reason...
