ABDC Blowup Contest Week 9 -- Enter now!

The end is near. Round 9 of our ABDC Blowup Contest is ready and waiting for you. We found a highlight in the MTV.com archives for America's Best Dance Crew and blew it up. The challenge: Name that crew and email your answer to ABDCContest@gmail.com. This contest is created by "The 4th ABDC Judge".  This contest will run for 10 weeks. Here's the official rules and info on the prize. This week's entries must be received by midnight on Monday June 28.


Here's the new image, gray-scaled for added difficulty. This week's clue - "Fractured science pop quiz: the crew with the most protons."  Good luck!

TIE BREAKER ADVANCE WARNING: We expect to need a tie-breaker for this contest since there are still 21 people in the running for the prize and many others who have 7/8. So here's advance notice for anyone who wants to work on it early: write a clever and solvable clue for the name of an ABDC crew. It can be any crew, whether or not they've already appeared in the contest. Use whatever for cluing as long as it's publicly available; the clue could be based on trivia, foreign languages, puns or wordplay, semaphore, whatever! "The 4th ABDC Judge" and I will pick a winner from the entries (possibly with outside consultations if we can't agree). DO NOT SEND IT TO US UNTIL NEXT WEEK!
