The Mighty HDC Battle Royale III

[_____V_____]

THE FIFTH CHALLENGE OF HDC BATTLE ROYALE III

Welcome, contestants of all 3 teams - The Raging Phantoms, Freddy's Slice 'N' Dicers, and The Zombie Warriors - to your FIFTH HDC Battle Royale III Challenge.



You have to unscramble these horror movie taglines AND name the movies they represent :-




Confused? Don't be. If you look at each line carefully, you will see a single CAPITAL letter. You may use that as the first letter of the unscrambling of that entire tagline. ;)


There are 480 points up for grabs in the above challenge. The winning team will receive DOUBLE Bonuses.

The deadline for sending your entries ends on Saturday, 08th May at 12 Noon EST.

You may either send me your entries via PMs, or you may email me at [email protected], mentioning your HDC Nick in the Subject alongwith the Challenge number, for e.g., "Michelle - HDC Battle Royale III Challenge #5 Answers."

You may confer within members of your own team in your quest for the right answers, but each Battle Royale participant should send in their own individual entries. Please be mindful of this.

Remember, team spirit is a surefire winner in this Challenge.

All the best, folks!

Are the spaces in the correct spots or are those scrambled too?

[_____V_____]

Everything is scrambled. The spaces add to the scrambling (and confusion).

We can't have a too easy Scramble puzzle now, can we? :)

So I'm starting to learn SQL at work. All I can think of, "I bet I can create a SQL query that defines that a phrase should CONTAIN these letters in any order." But unfortunately I can't SQL Query the Internets.

Select *
from Internets
where Internets LIKE '%m%g%S%n%d%h%h%u%s%t%e%f%o%o%u%s%a%n%i'

OMG do I ever love mySQL Database. I am a pro at it, can I come work with you? :P

I'd make a database and fill it with taglines. Then use the first letter, number of words, and number of letters as determining factors.

Yes! Yes! YES! We actually need a Data Quality Analyst... You'd be working VERY closely with SQL and our Marketing Database. PLUS you can say you're on the MARKET INTELLIGENCE TEAM... And work with ME... Want to move to Massachusetts? ;)


When we had the crossword puzzle I wanted SO BADLY to be able to query against the IMDB database to find titles where I only knew some of the letters...

Select *
from dbo.imdb.movies
where movie_name like '_a_____s'

I was SO FRUSTRATED that I couldn't get Google to do that...

i think google should work on that, but it would probably bring up a ton of security flaws if you can search specifically within a sites database like that. They have boolean operators though, that's close.
