I can't believe how many attempt it has taken me to earn 3 points!

Could see answer straight away but spelling and trying to be too specific has meant I locked the card once and almost made the same mistake this evening.

I can confirm that fab_uk got it right but my spelling of

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
dalmatian


was wrong.

Did you capitalize it? Because...

Only the wrong spelling is accepted (i.e. the one with an 'o'). Time for a quick e-mail to PPC...

I hate when that happens! We waste a lot of time on some of them, trying to read MC's mind when the *correct* answer isn't accepted! I would have thought they would have hired a better proofreader, after all the mistakes in the last wave! Rolling Eyes

This was the first real card I entered (after being brought to PPC by Gravity), and I wasn't sure whether or not the above would be enough.

If you look above Akio's siggy, theres a small hidden { . Theres one below the sigy too. Any significance, or space for R.C. James to be put as a guest architect originally.

Someoe said earlier this was a photo.

Is it not detail from the bottom center of 'The Hallucinogenic Toreador' by Salvador Dali?
