|Value 1-18 = Here is a contest of proofs, fought on chalkboards and in the laboratories of the mind. It has drawn a sizeable crowd of tigers. "Now this is science," one purrs. "Not all that awful industrial clamour."
+
|Value 1-18 = Over here [...] is a contest of [...] debate. Entrants from Codex and Whither have fled rather than deal with [...] the philosophers from the Square of Lofty Words [...]. The judges are seriously debating awarding the win to the Jovial Contrarian, who has not shown up at all.
|Value 19-36 = A family of Rattus faber demonstrate a new recipe for gunpowder before […] intrigued investors, pirates, and hopefuls in the upcoming Tournament of the Body. This does not appear to be part of a competition; the rats are simply canny businessrodents.
+
|Value 19-36 = They say there is a contest of riddles going on here somewhere. You ask where it is being held, but nobody will give you a straight answer.
|Value 37-54 = Cavies from Pigmote demonstrate advances in the field of rodent ballistics. Chelonate hunters lead seminars on Unterzee biology, complete with specimens. [] As always, practical demonstrations prove the most popular.
+
|Value 37-54 = A Pallid Archivist [...] buts heads with a Rutilant Philosopher [...]. This appears to be a contest of logic [...]; the Philosopher lambasts the Archivist for [...] appeals to history, while the Archivist accuses the Philosopher of rank solipsism. The crowd thins – rapidly.
|Value 55-72 = A tracklayer from the GHR complains about the main event of the tournament. "If this were land racing," she says, "there'd be no stopping us. But there's not enough time to lay track into the water." Her fellows raise their glasses in agreement. […]
+
|Value 55-72 = F.F. Gebrandt is a judge in the 'contest alchemical', which takes place upon a gazebo-shaped patch of singed grass. It appears that a tobacconist from Rosegate is responsible [...]. Gebrandt – waving away smoke – appraises him from a safe distance.
|Value 73-90 = [] Benthic confronts an equal-and-opposite flock from Summerset, after their head-to-head lecture series results in no clear winner. Each academic's field is so comically specialised that no-one [] is adequately knowledgeable [] to render judgement.
+
|Value 73-90 = An unofficial contest of biology is drawing a significant crowd. A Chelonite Monster-Hunter initially draws admiring noises with her peligin eyes, but [...] the competition [...] descend into [...] one-upmanship between some Starved Visitors and [...] courageous Rubbery Men.
|Value 91-100 = What use have tigers for science? A Flowerdene Drunkard dares to pose this question within earshot of an Armoured Veteran, a tiger in gleaming plate. […] She raises a paw before the frozen drunkard [] "We must always remain on the cutting edge," she chuffs.
+
|Value 91-100 = There is much to-do about the choice of chess for the main aspect of the Tournament. "Well, it makes sense," says a Fastidious Clerk. "It is a game of war; of tactics." [...] His cufflinks gleam like mirror-shards. "Tigers are a pragmatic people, is all."
