I checked the question again and you are right, there was a typo. It's edited now. All replies prior to edit will get kudos. Sorry for that.

Thank you to bb and all the moderators for a wonderful competition! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I mistakenly received kudos for an incorrect answer. I also think I didn't receive 10 points for a correct answer. So I think my score should be 90 points lower.

Thanks again, everyone!

Thank you for your honesty. We will check it over the weekend. However highly unlikely that you got points for an incorrect answer. That is an automated process.

As to the explanation, we will be awarding the final points by tomorrow for the CR’s.

Hey GMAT Club team/moderators - bb Bunuel mira93 generis kntombat siddharthkapoor,

The last 2 weeks was so exciting. It was a great way to spice things up. I personally found the P.S questions real tough. Can we also expect similar level questions in the actual GMAT ?

Nevertheless, thank you for organizing this great contest and for reading through each of our explanations as well.

AndrewN - Thank you so much for contributing the Verbal Questions!

I don't know if the users share my enthusiasm (90% got them wrong

) but what a competition they made! It clearly made a difference and I hope helped everyone be a tiny bit taller, better, faster, or just more resilient.

(I thanked the users, moderators, and sponsors, but completely flopped with the question contributors. Thank you Bunuel for the Quant questions)

Thank you!

Thank you again.. And yes those verbal question were really mind boggling. But great explanations by AndrewN. I got to learn some new concepts from there.

Sorry about that and thank you to the people who pointed it out

I will be extending it to the full month.

Wow, didn't really expect to be featured among the top hundred. This competition indeed provided me a headstart in my prep! Having started with questions as difficult as these, I do feel more resilient. Contributing to everyone expressing their gratitude to the organisers, what an amazing initiative!
