This answer had puzzled me for a min

Hexagon was not filling the box

So thought grammar and added hexagonal

Mere saath bhi aisa hi hua, I knew the answer so I just added it in the list, par jab crossword fill karne lagi toh woh fit nahi hua

Fir I googled toh udhar Hexagonal tha and was like yeh kya baat hoti hai

And with that subject reaching it's end, each House currently stands at the following (these scores do not include any bonus points):

Gryffindor - 3660 points

Hufflepuff - 4607 points

Ravenclaw - 3860 points

Slytherin - 4620 points

After the first 2 subjects, Professor Flitwick decided that you all need to prove your worth with some trivia work in Charms.

In a few minutes, each of you will get a PM with some questions (12 to be exact). They will range across 3 topics and even people in the same house will not get the exact same questions. This is an individual round which means everyone has to respond!

As usual, the points you earn for the questions will also be added to your house points, however, if you submit in the first 24 hours you will get 40 individual bonus points. If you submit in the next 12 hours after that (hours 24 to 36) then you will get 20 individual bonus points. Those who submit in the last 12 hours will get no bonus points.

Each correct question will earn you 10 points. Each wrong answer will lose 5 points. And, because this is a subject, there are no hints.

The deadline for this round is 16th Apr 11:59 PM IST. For the 40 bonus points, I will count any entries received until 16th April 12:01 AM IST. For the 20 bonus points, I will count any entries received until 16th April 12:01 PM IST.

Along with the third subject, please note that the fourth subject is a head-on game. The following games will be played in the following slots. Each house needs to give me 3 names who will play each slot.

A few important notes

Decide who is going to play for each house (there are a total of 3 such subjects). Originally I was going to require each person in the house to play at least 1 such subject to make it fair to everyone, but as some people do not have Discord or the timings may not work for some people I am now leaving it open to you as a house to decide who plays.

You can have the same 3 people play both slots for the second subject.

Each individual who plays this round will get a bonus 50 points (they will get this whether they play 1 slot or 2 slots).

Those not playing will be able to join as audience when their house is playing if they wish. You can only join in audience at the time that your house is playing, not when other houses are playing. For example, if you are from Slytherin, you can only watch Slytherin matches.

If I don't hear from a house by 16th Apr 11:59 PM IST then I will simply give that house a 0 for the fourth subject and their competing team will get a chance to play alone and gain points for their house. I am not going to send out reminders for this.

Once you've decided who is playing each slot (and if anyone wants to be in the audience), one person from each house has to PM me the names.
