The Word of the Week Contest for Causality has concluded! Who are the winners of the Causality WOTW?!? ![spectrum.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23vsZMWsxNRaLQ8iTDXm5VYgjMcmdVCKtbXqH3oP54AQE1Yz8SddJECZfNRXo128boPUD.png) Created by @Calumam for this week's WOTW ![POB.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23tGXZDHZWfet7XK7qJAJLa9GaHBakVqTSvrq7QyN1pDZm3UpCJWpU6iq4CkEe8CbZp6y.png) # Causality Winners! ![team-2444978_1280.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23uFRzLtzECSRxTacKjKe45suTmP65pX2ENiHpPJpZGU4wtUzzzAUnSKzGMz3jjC9zUX7.jpg) Image by luvmybry from Pixabay |Place|Author|Article|Reward| |-|-|-|-| |1ST|@diebitch|[Casualty due to Causality](https://www.proofofbrain.io/hive-150329/@diebitch/casualty-due-to-causality)|200 POB (Pending)| |2ND|@captaincryptic|[Proofofbrain Infighting And POB Price Decline: Correlation or Causality?](https://www.proofofbrain.io/hive-150329/@captaincryptic/proofofbrain-infighting-and-pob-price-decline-correlation-or-causality)|100 POB (Pending)| |3RD|@samsmith1971|[Causality - Start with 'Why?'](https://www.proofofbrain.io/hive-150329/@samsmith1971/causality-start-with-why)|75 POB (Pending)| |4TH|@melbourneswest|[Causality- Cause and Effect](https://www.proofofbrain.io/hive-150329/@melbourneswest/causality-cause-and-effect)|50 POB| |5TH|@mineopoly|[The third law of POB in motion](https://www.proofofbrain.io/hive-150329/@mineopoly/the-third-law-of-pob-in-motion)|25 POB| Clearly, the rewards are offset due to @calumam's emergent hiatus. I will be able to support these rewards for the next two contests. Hopefully, Calumam will be back before then to resume the reigns of the WOTW contest. My intent will be to pay the rewards for both the causality and spectrum contests next week. Due to his unexpected absence, I decided to unstake some tokens to support the rewards pool. I will be able to pay the awards to the above-listed winners next week. I'm suitable for it. No one expects problems to occur, but they have. Let's give Calumam a break and continue onward with his next word of the week! ![POB.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23tGXZDHZWfet7XK7qJAJLa9GaHBakVqTSvrq7QyN1pDZm3UpCJWpU6iq4CkEe8CbZp6y.png) # Merit System Results #### Grading Criteria ![Grading Metrics.GIF](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23viP5orpPGNgMBczCmxF693dHK8Ki5xbPPrpoTGoca8tP9MHYheig9ZA6cKSeyJF8vfD.GIF)[Calcumam - Word of the Week](https://peakd.com/hive-150329/@calumam/pob-word-of-the-week-014-causality) #### Grades ![Grading Part 1.GIF](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23w38QqQfWwPuxd8pFeJ7yBT6dXdDWQa13YPjDHAXMdr9N1GN9TWu1AchnVLmR62hmJob.GIF) ![Grading Part 2.GIF](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23wXEB7EFe4sZqrdG5EutEUdbgcJWFdYsfmVjsoP4jLCwvC2kYhPjjdTjGCXEJaDMLGjW.GIF) Visit the [grading bases](https://www.proofofbrain.io/hive-150329/@scholaris/word-of-the-week-decoded) for more details! #### Results ![Causality Contest.GIF](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/243g7DddKhwhgPgtDQmDvjykCjB8Qq2B4qDK5pD34kgH3RYMLER2LDnPY1WWz8Jut3Ad9.GIF) ![POB.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23tGXZDHZWfet7XK7qJAJLa9GaHBakVqTSvrq7QyN1pDZm3UpCJWpU6iq4CkEe8CbZp6y.png) # Engagement Statistics ![plan-2092499_1280.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23wXBniPpWBU8iq5VpUpB8eYaLjDeRMPuJ9agxY8vCtgYJXte6YPEg39Bnft67Rm31Cn4.jpg) Image by jacqueline macou from Pixabay #### WOTW Overall Activity ![WOTW Overall Activity.GIF](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/EoeKD32RQKq1euHj8wyqJaTRvyQ1Z6UDwXarceo9qUrwupamArxRcVNbGr4iyZ75PCY.GIF) #### WOTW Causality Activity ![WOTW Causality Activity.GIF](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23tcEeLgMawjXipvnsRRckno3yLTXbXHQPnzoJLTpYasmQPobfJe4Hvc45tJifRuCqbbA.GIF) #### Causality POB Rewards ![Causality POB Rewards.GIF](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23uRBVD9SwXH9nvh3yXADG53MfyUAvLonHymrd6yPfHGV9rprWvTnY6YdTftbAPgSLcM9.GIF) #### Causality Comments vs Responses ![Comments Vs Responses.GIF](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23uRBn4Mr4rZQu8uGEXwXKV1cLWkdsKqPTvkCFuiFCD2oEACRNZvUAgBPazkDf9ZfnvxH.GIF) ![POB.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23tGXZDHZWfet7XK7qJAJLa9GaHBakVqTSvrq7QyN1pDZm3UpCJWpU6iq4CkEe8CbZp6y.png) # WOTW Team Appreciation ![wooden-2562242_1280.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/EpCBmHtu7zCE21dCVYAHgUZ2HWsHi2tc2mz2CuEwUvbaP7aA2JZCgLqc46ZNYaFEDtt.jpg) Image by StockSnap from Pixabay |Name|Reason|Amount (POB)| |-|-|-| |@nonsowrites|Grading Assistance|200 POB (Pending)| |@amr008.pob|Automation Maintenance & Development|1000 POB (delegation from calumam)| ![POB.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23tGXZDHZWfet7XK7qJAJLa9GaHBakVqTSvrq7QyN1pDZm3UpCJWpU6iq4CkEe8CbZp6y.png) # Contest Rules ![office-4249395_1280.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/EpA5sFpKfYi1thn4QEsgCUKxHcuMVxS4u992brvNNaJ7MdMYG8B4nMGZvxAZT4DKZWo.jpg) Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay #### Guidelines Every week, Calumam chooses a word for the contest. His expectation is for community members to share their thoughts on that word during the contest week. - There is zero tolerance for plagiarism. - You must have the #pob-wotw added to that post. - Clearly include the selected word in your article (we are not mind readers) - If you post an article including next week's word, you will be disqualified for the current and next week. - Repeated use of the #pob-wotw tag results in disqualification. - We welcome all forms of content during the WOTW contest. #### Requirements - Use the proofofbrain.io front-end. - This week's contest starts 31/7/21 @ 00:00 UTC - This week's contest ends 08/8/21 @ 00:00 UTC; no new entries are accepted after this time. ![POB.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23tGXZDHZWfet7XK7qJAJLa9GaHBakVqTSvrq7QyN1pDZm3UpCJWpU6iq4CkEe8CbZp6y.png) # The Word for THIS Week ![spectrum.GIF](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23xyV8q9fPt17BR8wJGATxKAJa3f5SqoXGNCRpuP9ReN3htMDjmNmBdxWrt8QeKqdYdPM.GIF) Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay # The word for THIS week is **SPECTRUM** The word for NEXT week is paradise. ![POB.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23tGXZDHZWfet7XK7qJAJLa9GaHBakVqTSvrq7QyN1pDZm3UpCJWpU6iq4CkEe8CbZp6y.png) # Do you like contests? ![trophy-3459651_1280 (1).jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scholaris/23wMQDzMPbo15Tfsc1ZGPKUsgdNS4XYz2fjmivy1UPjAN9wrz1UbPz2hYsiCECpGnHtwC.jpg) Image by 3D Animation Production Company from Pixabay If you love contests, #proofofbrain has contests just for you!
