How is it possible to get scores ranging from 1 to 9 in a challenge - or are there just some meanies out there?

Ok...let me expand as I kill my own thread:))

IF a shot meets the challenge and isn't shot whilst blindfolded how can it get a 1? Whilst at the other end of the scale someone gives it a nine...

There are many threads dealing with this phenomena. Your image is very nice but many will look and not see the joke. Those that are quick will see it and give a higher score. Those that are not able to see it quickly will dismiss the image with a question mark. So yes, there some meanies but only in proportion to the total amount. There are also many voters that want to be knock down upon seeing. Then there are some that will look a little deeper. It is a mix that frustrates anyone who tries to fathom it. At the end, it seems to work. However, keep using your sense of humor, it will be appreciated.

I left a comment on your image.

Thanks for the comment - here and over there:)

I glad you got the joke;) I didn't intend to set the world alight with it; just make people giggle a little. I'd seen this sign hundreds of times near where I live, but it wasn't till the day of the challenge that I suddenly noticed what had been staring me in the face:))

Thanks again.
