Nah, this is for tasks where you didn't meet the requirements but still put a lot of effort into it.

It was my intent for the value of The Failure, to be either 5 points or no points, just more as a place to post attempts

My attempt to build a labyrinth failed, but I am going to keep mulling it over until I come up with a workable method and hopefully some collaborators. But, I did learn some interesting things about painting snow and thought the technique might appea...
