Ladies and Gentlemen who entered the contest. It is just about time for the first challenge. Prepair yourself because I will be competing too. Check this link periodically: [Current Local Time in New York, New York, USA](http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179), for when it reaches 7pm, the contest begins. What you do is you do 1000 BrainTwister Somersaults as fast as you can. When you finish, you type in “DONE” and the first one to do so, wins. RULE: You can only click on reply once you have finished your BrainTwisters so you have to be fast a typing as well. If not, you better have your BrainTwisters down fast. :wink: I can do both. Remember, to sign-up, go to the post called “IronArm Contest - NEED CONTESTANTS” and either reply there or PM me. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POST UNTIL AFTER THE CONTEST HAS STARTED. RESULTS: 1st Place: Philip (8:21) 2nd Place: Logi (8:45) 3rd Place: andy569 (8:58) 4th Place: stuarttw (10:12) 5th Place: Zorro (14:07) Challenge #2: [IronArm Contest - THE END - General Yo-Yo - YoYoExpert](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,67761.0.html) ---

This will be fun. After you type in “DONE” reply again with the yoyo and string you used. ---

String is not a factor. You can use any string length. There, now it is not cheating. Just so you all know, my brother is competing but he can’t type in “done” because he has no forum account so I will announce when he finishes as well as when I do. 1.5 hours and counting. ---
