As a reader of faerie tales already knows, Brownies are mostly invisible faeries who populate mythical forests, handing out "ribbons" to weak, near-sighted travelers, and then, only to those willing to waste their valuable time on such non-existent trifles.
Thanks for handing charliebaker yet another brownie. May your childlike imaginations flourish among the variety of images in the DPC mythical forest.

Fifteen 10s. Ridiculous. I guess people do it to bring up their average score given stat. :/
I was one of them. Did it to hinder the obvious stab at the brown, as indicated in my comment during the challenge. I also gave 2 10s and a 9 to the "good" ribbons.
I love the double meaning here. I should really give this a high vote to reward you for an out of the box shoehorn, but nobody enters such an image seeking high votes, and it would only serve to keep you from your noble goal. I'll make my contribution to the obvious cause.
Had to think of this and it's quite clever (if I'm right) I guess the brown ribbon doesn't really officially exist but you are on an expedition to find out. Starting from 1 it does meet the challenge (IMHO) and is inovative so it's a 3 from me. Hope you find what you're looking for.

A bit of research and I'm now aware of the invisible mythical creatures (but I still prefer my original take on the shot and the score remains)
