Welcome to our Competitive Challenges and Results

• Barefoot Category: For beginner to intermediate operators
• Gallon Category: For intermediate to expert operators

That is simply our numbering system. Gallon Alpha is one challenge. Gallon Bravo, is another. The letters are in the order we created them so, yes, Alpha was the first in each category.

Each challenge has 60 questions; you have 30 minutes to complete it. You may or may not finish in time, that's fine, many don't.

Why? In the words of the great AI...

“Why” is one of the most fundamental questions, often asked to seek understanding, purpose, or rationale behind actions, events, or phenomena. Its answer depends entirely on the context in which it is asked. It can lead to explanations of causes, purposes, or motivations.

For example:

• In science: To uncover the causes of natural phenomena (e.g., “Why does the apple fall?”).
• In philosophy: To explore existential or moral reasoning (e.g., “Why are we here?”).
• In everyday life: To understand actions or choices (e.g., “Why did you make that decision?”).

The pursuit of “why” often drives learning, discovery, and innovation. It is the gateway to deeper understanding. If you provide the context, I can refine the response.

Yes, upon completion of each challenge, no matter your score, you will have the option to download a Completion Certificate.
