The time has come for me to close my element of this contest. Along the way, we've received many terrible guesses and so far, very few prizes have been distributed. Only @chriddi made me laugh although credit really goes to ChatGPT for its Diary Game style entry. A few others made me smile but that wasn't enough.

Few seemed interested in this part of the contest where STEEM could have been earned so easily. Use of words like Arse, Anus, Rectum or anything else vaguely (or extremely) rude would almost certainly have tickled me.

For the 3 STEEM prize, my initial thought was that #aagr meant "And Another Good Result" and this was the required answer to have won the 3 STEEM..

My main uncertainty being whether the 'g' was 'good' or 'great' as implied in this comment.

The Gadolinium Dioxide clue quickly answered this - Gadolinium having the chemical symbol "Gd" and Dioxide being O2. For anybody who Google'd "Gadolinium Dioxide", you'll have see that Google corrected it to "Gadolinium Oxide", making the Dioxide more obvious. Gd + oo equating to Good.

Whilst looking at each clue, I found a way to make them support my initial answer. The end of the Gadolinim clue containing this emjoi - 🧪 - which suggests a test. In my mind, confirming the use of "result".

Whilst others ignored these clues and my not so subtle reply, @dove11 caused a rethink of the 'R', with 'Report' looking like an excellent option.

"And Another Good Report"

Makes a lot of sense, which is probably why @dexsyluz came to this conclusion too.

But that's not where I landed.

Then, we got:

A Company of US Marines v the entire Roman First Legion...

Who would come out in first place?

I've thought about this FOR HOURS! It's kept me awake at night. I should be able to get it and so far, I've refused to give up.

"Who came out in first place?" initially linked to "What would the RESULT be?" But I don't think it is. Instead, I believe we're talking anagrams.

The choice of words of being the entire "ROMAN FIRST LEGION" suggests these letters are involved. Separating the left side of the equation, "A company" could be referred to as "A corporation" and "US Marines" are often referred to as the "US Marine Corp". Excluding letters from each side and trying to figure out if the "Who would come out in first place" suggested the removal of letters left me messing about with letters for ages. I couldn't quite get there.

Then the clue which made me change my final answer:

Maybe The Royals will finish in the top four next time...

Again, I initially thought that this would be a "Good RESULT" but top 4? Why Top 4? The top 2 get promoted automatically so maybe it's a Baseball reference for Kansas City Royals? No. Top 2 as well.

For those that aren't aware, The Royals aren't just "The Royals". They're "The Mighty, Mighty Royals" and few on Steemit probably know the link to me, and the football team I support. Of course, this was where my mind went upon first reading - nothing to do with a Royal Family but my football team. Reading FC.

I don't know what @remlaps said to get me there, but the 4 made sense now. Not just the 4th letter, but the first 4 letters. "Read". #apwr = A Post Worth Reading.

No idea what Jodie Foster's got to do with anything 😉

So here I am, my final answer:

"And Another Good Read"
