Sorry luv, the Gryffindor in me won't be in peace if I don't let it out.

Fire symbolizes many things, including passion, desire, rebirth, resurrection, eternity, destruction, hope, hell and purification. These symbols have been used in literature, film and religious texts for millennia. It's one of the four elements essential to life (along with water, air and earth).

Fire is best associated with passion.

The flicking of a flame evokes thoughts of passion and desire. Fires leap, dance and spread with reckless abandon.

Is there little wonder we see young lovers and remark on their “fiery passion!”

The link between fire and passion is also evident in the expression “light my fire!” This expression indicates someone or something inspired passion within someone’s soul.

An Example

Shakespeare often uses fire as a symbol of passion in his plays.

One of his most famous quotes in Henry VIII is:

“My drops of tears I’ll turn to sparks of fire.”

Tears, are water, and sparks are fire. While at first glance these two elements are so drastically different, delving deeper into them reveal there supplementary nature to each other too. Just like Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Ummm, we're not sad Prefect. Infact we're more fired up to do better the next time. Plus I've attended the bonus questions, that'll give Gryffindor marks too. I personally enjoyed a lot. Hope you don't mind.

its not just about us Briti, there are other teams too who havent answered fast because their players are from different timezone. Why should they lose points just because one team was online first and gave their answers?

The Dramatic Duo: Water can put out fire, but if the fire is large enough, it can dry up water completely... 😆🤗

But the time zones were set accordingly so that all could participate well Hinna. I see no problem regarding the time zone.

No as half of the teams already submitted answers before the members from other teams even woke up

The first and last to send bonus points makes no sense

alag se award dena to theek hai like appy did but why involve that in the game points and give disadvantage to other players?

I would have replied poetically myself but it’s 5am right now and I did an all nighter so forgive my fried brains 😆🤗

P.S. Water will exist with or without fire. But the existence of a fire is dependent on whether water decides to interfere😉

P.S. We need water to stay hydrated.

Exception to the rule is the Devdas wala flame. That fire was one stubborn water resistant MOFO 🤣

Goodnight/morning to ya’ll 🤗

my team lost a point because i wasnt here...even tho i had informed prof ji that i will be at the hospital today

this is an unfair point because it was never mentioned before

You lost this one point, but got another. It evens out.

But now this will happen every round. I have to gather my team at a certain time from different time zones and leave everything we are doing just to not to lose out on the time bonus point. Great!

I'm sending Minionite's post link here where she addressed the issue.

No it won't. There are no more time-based points. We all discussed this already and I have come to this conclusion. I'm reworking my bonus points, but there will be nothing time-based anymore. For the rest we are chatting in PM. Once a decision is reached, I will announce here.
