    Really, really good. Thank you!

      Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Nice and tricky!

        Holy moly, Laser. Banged most in 20, but you got me with some Turkish Trivia I didn't know. Nice

          TIL: 14D. Still trying to figger out the title though.
          • LasersharpAurora constructor · 2024-11-23T00:17:09.984Z
            Hm, was there a typo there? (There is no 14D).
            The title is maybe a bit too specific - the fractal is referring to the Sierpinski Triangle, which resembles a Triforce, which is being fractured or broken here (with the names getting split).
            • frostyjhammer 🤓8:10 · 2024-11-24T04:10:07.859Z
              Yeah I meant 54D. I'm familiar with teh Sierpinski Triangle, a most famous fractal image. Don't know from a Triforce tho.

                Sorry for the late reply on this one, but I ended up doing some research and it turns out my original clue wasn't totally accurate. As such, I will edit the clue. (I was referring to the ELO rating system commonly used in chess, but it doesn't really have a set "starting point".)
