One man will drink a barrel of water in 14 days, and together with his wife he will drink the same barrel
in 10 days. In how many days will the wife drink the barrel on her own? :mrgreen:

Not the question leading to my qualification being about someone dying at the age of 25.

Scary stuff because.. I'm literally 25. :(

Deeply disappointed in these results. One of my 12s, Balearica Island has failed to qualify. Will post the rest later. Lach I feel like my votes knocked me out.

Actually the idea of questions and numbers seemed easy in the beginning, but then there were some complications.... Some interesting questions were lost because nations did not make it to the finals. I would do things differently now. :unsure:

I found my song about two months ago and I initially wanted to send it to NSC 223, but then PQ occured and I thought of keeping it for later... I liked it from the first listen and for some reason I thought I should definitely send it. Idk why, but I thought it might have some chances here... But while listening to Semi 2 it became really obvious to me, that I have no single chance, it like didn't go along with the general vibe of other entries at all... So, no surprise I ended up dead last, but it wasn't really that obvious to me before, that's what I wanted to tell.

I feel like I need some change regarding my NSC participation. I considered different things I can do, and I think, from now on I'll continue participating with songs I like, not caring about results at all. I feel like it became harder for me to resonate with NSC musical tendencies. And when I think too much about whether my entry "fits" in NSC or not and set expectations, it really drains me and kills the joy of participating... I have relatively good qualification rate now, but I don't want to worry about it anymore. It may be irrational, but I felt like I could be judged for choosing such approach. And that what also continued to put pressure on me and made me try harder to choose my entries more diligently. But I don't want it anymore, no sir!
Thanks for your attention! ♥

P.S. I typed much bigger text initially, that also included some words about not wanting to leave the community and Svobodnia to be vanished from NSC map, despite currently having conflicting thoughts and feelings about participating in NSC, but I decided to be shorter once I came to conclusion about what exactly I would try to do x

And thanks @ferret for the results show, you did great! Those were cool olympiad questions and problems, I enjoyed trying to solve them! xup

Omg!!

Guys, you have no idea how much this qualification means to me with a song that represents our nation's sound so accurately. This was Moisantia at its purest, so to have this validation really is so so special. Even if we end up bottom of the scoreboard in the final, this is still such a special moment for me.

Congrats to all the other qualifiers - shout out to my 100th anniversary sister Steph ::sak xclap
