Produced by the IGNITION Team (maitreya mostly)! (sorry if some questions are way more complicated than normal). Credits to Peleg Kurtz, Joel Ginson and Ethan Wang for some ideas regarding questions.

I am aware of the things many people have said regarding the difficulty of the challenge, but all I can say is “The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle”. All the best for your actual scholars challenge!
