Ready, set, GO!

The third and final round of the triathlon was a test of building and memory skills. Only the elite geeks would be able to score well in this round. Old keyboards were placed out at workstations with most of their keys removed. The task was to get the keys back into their spots in the fastest time. If a key was misplaced it would cost the contestant a two-second penalty.

No that isn't an old qwerty keyboard, it's the new yfwptg layout.

An honorary mention was given to Bazzario who put all of the keys back without error. The reason it was an honorable mention was that he did not make it into the top five for points. The best time was 2mins, 56secs. And the worst was 4mins, 18mins. That is a little over a minute difference. One reason for the time difference could be that one person had 30 missed keys. That is a scary thought knowing that means four more keys than the entire alphabet were not put back correctly.

The point spread went:

Bladewalker - 5 points

Dirtis - 4 points
Bad Bowtie - 3 points
Psycho-Bob - 2 points
GodLike - 1 point

With a third place, second place and now a first place finish, Bladewalker takes this year's title of ubergeek triathalete.
