Challenge #131
Horseshoe IIWay way back in challenge #25, we worked with the horseshoe variation. This week's challenge will be slightly different however. I sincerely apologize to whomever requested this challenge because I deleted your note!
The challenge this week will involved using horseshoe
almost exclusively. You will be allowed to use one other variation, once. A real challenge indeed!
- Allowed Variations: Horseshoe + One Other only used once.
- Final Variation Allowed. Same rules.
As always, have fun and stay thirsty my friends!
