Round Three of CyberCenturionVI!

Good luck to all teams playing CyberCenturion this today and tomorrow! We can’t wait to see how you get on.

You can compete Friday or Saturday between 11:00-17:00. But remember that once you open the images with the password the clock starts ticking! That means you only have one 6 hour window in which to score as many points as possible. Because scores can’t be carried over to the next day, think carefully about when you want to play 🙂

You can download the images before 11:00 on your chosen competition day, but if you enter the password and extract the images before 11:00 your team will be penalised. 

This Round the Junior teams have their own Server 16 images to compete with – please make sure you click on the three correct images for your age group or you will incur a penalty!

Download Instructions

Here are your Round Three Download Instructions – remember to read them carefully before you start!

The password to extract all images in this round is b7dtrtkgTUBfKf. Do not use this password to extract the images before 11:00, or your team will be penalised.

Scoreboard

If you have any issues with your score or any penalties to discuss, please contact the team within one week of the scores being released.
