The name kind of says it.
Please give feedback on the MAP DESIGN, Not the difficulty. I know its easy.

Interesting design, but no weapons needed.

Plural of octopus is octopi.

Plural of octopus is octopi.

Or octopuses or octopodes (rarely). The Cambridge Guide to English Usage refers to octopi as "objectionable." :)

The Oxford English Dictionary lists octopuses, octopi and octopodes (in that order); it labels octopodes "rare", and notes that octopi derives from the mistaken assumption that octōpūs is a second declension Latin noun, which it is not. Rather, it is (Latinized) Ancient Greek, from oktṓpous (ὀκτώπους), gender masculine, whose plural is oktṓpodes (ὀκτώποδες).


More than you probably wanted to know. :)

Jaques Cousteau also preferred "octopusses".
and I'll bet he has seen more than most folks.

Ummm - Didn't Ian Fleming have a slight variation of usage for all the above?

Yes and Bond's version was not an 8 legged cat.

Not to mess up the lexicology lessons...it's an interesting map--too easy, as you note--but still fun, in the way a hand of solitaire might be. Keep at it!

Idk what rchev's post means... It may be too early, but, :D. Anyways, this map was the newest custom map at the moment the site changed! Hurray! Lol
