Is there any rule about order of words like Name - Surname or it can be switched?

What do you mean by "Professor Ulol FuzzyPinkSlipper Kimil"? If the answer is hypothetically Professor Ulol Kimil, we have to figure out the FuzzyPinkSlipper part too? Like how?

Sorry if the question seems stupid, but the words don't fit in the puzzle :P haha
No, you do not have to find a nickname for every answer.

But I figure your question is ... hypothetical in and of itself? ;)

So we DO have to find "nicknames" for some answers, right? But we don't have any clues for the nicknames...

**EDIT - Nevermind, I think I figured it out ;) Thanks..

All the answers are as they are given in HP canon, ie straight-forward with given name and surname (in those answers where that sort of answer is applicable).

Is there any chance of certain answers being shorter than the given boxes? I swear my answer for one keeps ending up one box short, despite not being able to find any other name that fits the clue...

Others have sent in answers to the crossword and filled in all the boxes.

Maybe a warble or glibbering humdinger got to your puzzle box?

Set out a bowl of milk and then reload your page and see if it changes. *nods*

ok dumb question.

i just sent in task 2 but now that i've reread the task, i'm curious if you NEEDED to have them in numbered order - 1 down is, 2 across is, etc., or is it okay that I kept them separated like a typical crossword puzzle (but in order) - ACROSS: 2, 3, 5, etc. DOWN: 1, 4, 6, etc. (making up numbers here for an ex)?

if that's the case, they need to be numbered 1-30 in order, can i resubmit?? siiiiigh.

Aidan --- Nah, they don't need to be numbered like that. Your way was perfectly fine too, and actually most of the people sent it in like that, instead of ordered from 1 to 30. :)

Darn it, Zoki!

And here I was going to respond with quite a different answer, just for Aidan!

I hope I am allowed to answer... Sparky is the Macaws team mascot and their colors are red, yellow and blue like the hint said.

For the 3rd task do you just want us to send in the URLs of the pages, or something more?

Hi Solix

Right now, I'm suggesting to everyone to keep track of the answers you obtain, the URLs and the actual pages that you see.

This is called the 'belt and suspenders' approach.

I'm not sure of what Zoki wants, but cover all the bases, just in case! When Zoki gets online, for sure he will see your question and answer.

Thank you for asking.

:)

I am not sure if I am allowed to ask this, but when it says reverse the order, does it mean any random order or just backwards?

Sending in the URLs is what you need to do, but including your answers to the puzzles is also good.

Thanks Tara for answering, that's exactly what it means. :)
