I know October has a few hours for some of people. However, I'm posting this now as I'm going to have an extra-busy day tommorrow and will likely not have the time to be on the forum.

October hasn't been as productive as other months in terms of numbers. But if you were to measure how many laws of physics were broken as a way of measuring productivity, this has been the best month in the HISTORY of this site. This list should explain itself:

We are trying something new this month! This time, instead of just 2 votes, you get 3! Weight them as your personal Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards. Steryne, when you count the votes, give Gold 3 votes, Silver 2 votes, and Bronze 1 vote. This shift in the system is to compensate for the countless complaints that have been building up regarding how restrictive voting was. Remember, though, you still can't vote the same user twice, even for different puzzles.

If you spot an error or find a puzzle I missed (which would only happen if it's posted within the last couple hours of the month on Forum-Time or if it's not in the New Puzzles category) please notify me. Links really help a lot.

EDIT: Oliver Nagy's Escher Megaminx was skipped. Thanks for pointing that out.

Wow.

What.
A.
Month.

Gold: Tom's Pentultimate
Silver: Void Petaminx
Bronze: Radu's Octopus

Really, there isn't too much of an order to that; any of these could be puzzle of the year for hitting new extremes. Tom hit a new extreme in affordability and tested the very limits of 3d printing, all while putting a pentultimate under my christmas tree. Will achieved a new standard in 3d designing, whilst Sky tested how much one could pay for a puzzle :lol:

. And then there's the octopus, which shows what amazing things still wait to be done through good old-fashioned hand modding, rather than all this new-fangled technology.

Congrats to all three!

EDIT: Honorable mention to grigr, for making everything so damn tiny! :lol:

Wow, this is the first month I've really struggled to come to a decision about my favourites. :shock:

Gold: Shim's Triamond
Silver: MegaHP
Bronze: Radu's Octopus

I would do an 'honourable mention', but they really irritate me when I see them, so I won't. :lol:

I'm sorry but you can't vote for both 532 and 533 because they are both made by gingervergo.
I'm actually really amazed gingervergo's ff siamese 2x2x2 is getting a fair amount of votes. I guess many people still love the concept.I should finish my 3x3x3 one

This works fine, but in the future, it'd be easier to see the name of the puzzle to which you are casting the vote. It makes counting a few seconds faster per vote.

@PM6262 Even I voted for it because I like it so much better. For one thing, the quality is good enough that it's not questionably fake. You should finish the Creature's big brother soon.

Gold: Oskar's gear shift

Silver: TomZ's mini pentultiimate

This was because I accidentally skipped that puzzle, so when I sorted the information to be forum-friendly, I put Oskar's puzzle to that URL. Thanks for pointing that out, and I've fixed it.

If you read this and haven't voted, do so.
