Readers, the last season of MPB's exclusive pattern-naming game, NAME THAT PATTERN, proved that there exist among you some very talented players who are ready to step it up a level.
Do you have what it takes? I bet you do!
You all know the rules: I post photos of patterns, you give them names. Naturally, in this semi-final round, you'll have to push a little harder, but if you've made it this far, you're up for it.
Our prizes are so astounding I fear mentioning them at all, so I won't. Let's get started.
With no further delay, here's Pattern #1!
Too easy? Put your hands together for Pattern #2!
But wait -- there's more to come: Pattern #3!
Now for something very special: Pattern #4!
Finally, the last pattern in our semi-final round: Pattern #5!
But wait -- as always, we have a BONUS PATTERN for you overachievers. Pattern #6!
Friends, I'd like to thank you for participating in our NAME THAT PATTERN semi-finals.
Remember: you can name any of the patterns above, but in order to qualify for our next round, you MUST name them all. As always, I'll be participating and I'm betting Michael will as well.
On your marks, get set: NAME THAT PATTERN!!
