FINISHED - How many 10’s can you find? (10 gold bars at stake!)

LizzyLemondrop

I see some people are matching numbers in a V or Z like pattern. I assumed we were supposed to only count straight lines like in tic-tac-toe? Horizontal, vertical, or diagonal rows.

@LizzyLemondrop - it will be interesting to see what @Elsa says.  I was treating this puzzle similar to how the word challenges work in the AlphaBetty contests - where as long as they are connected (horizontally/vertically/diagonally) you can create the number. 
However just in case my original version doesn't count - here's one with just straight lines (horizonal, vertical, diagonal) with numbers.

Here is my version where I can't turn corners etc. to get the numbers. Red = 9, Yellow = 11 Blue = 3 and Black = 2 for a total of 25

I don’t think that it matters which way you go as long as it adds up to 10.

@Elsa So you’re saying as long the total is 10 you can make a horizontal, vertical and diagonal line in 1 sum? If that’s so, I’ll reconsider my answer 🤔

Yes it's just like a search a word puzzle.  Match horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.  I don't think it's going to matter who gets the most matches as much as how many players are contributing to this puzzle.  That's my opinion on it.  @Xarly might think different since he turned it into a contest.

Thanks for tagging me about this @Elsa! I can’t wait to win more gold. This is going to take a while for me to figure it out but I’ll get it done by tomorrow. Happy counting!

 I finally have a final answer after a few tries.  Can't wait to see if I am right. I finally have a final answer after a few tries.  Can't wait to see if I am right. If this posts correctly. Hard time getting into paint and posting it here. We'll see!      10's.png

@Elsa It didn't specify if the 10's had to be in a straight line or just connected. I used red for all the 10's in a straight line and other colors for the connected but not straight line 10's. Sorry if it gets a bit confusing but there are lots of 10's if it is just connected squares.

@Elsa, you make the calls regarding the mechanics, as it's your competition! (All I did was spice things up )

It's on you as well to announce the end on the 8th of August and reach out to the winners! (Just make sure I'm aware so that I can grant the prizes )

Cheers to you all and keep the answers coming!

Ok guys, do your thing!  I'm not saying that the winner will be the one with the most.  Could be?  Could be not?  I want everyone to have fun!
