-----------

Doing my own thing this year. I thought I was giong to make an easier version, instead I added a ton of extra conditions!

Some of the criteria are too specific or restricting, making it a bit of a chore to get through. In this case, I'll be making my own remix of the "official" Hooptober rules.
