Ehem, there are some new development during trial runs!
Apparently, a lot of you have strategies relying on observation and rounds! And other stuff.
Which led to an interesting thing: There's no definite winner. Those strategies works really, really well, and depending on the ordering, can change the winner completely.
So I present the following two compromises:
We run the simulations 100 times, and tally up! We run it 1 time, and let whoever wins, wins. I've also updated the judging rules a bit on draws and such. As well as how second spots are chosen.

Codes sent to most participants. I'm eager to announce the observations
There are some really, really fascinating interaction going on

Well... I pushed him to make this quest, and god forbids me from not submitting an entry into a cooking quest!
So I present:
The Runny Chocolatey Brownie of Addiction!
Ingredients:
8 Winderwild eggs (preferably the unfertilized unhatch-able chicken-like kind). Replace with Angien Eggs if you're filthy rich without a moral compass. Replace with Drachorn Eggs if you have a death wish. Just not Elemental Eggs *glares at Fyrd* Butter, two sticks. I have no idea how you'd even find them, perhaps Taurion might know where you can get some. Sugar, about 1.2 cups. Crushing some candy canes should do niceeely. Some flavorful herbs. I've heard they're called "vanilla". Maybe you can find them with a herb basket. Maybe you can't. Coffee extract. Or powder. Or Espresso if you're fancy. Popular with lab researchers. Perhaps you should visit the Golemus lab to find out more. Or not. I can't promise you won't be turned into an experiment. Flowers! Wait, no, flour! Go rob MaG, he collected a ton! Wait, no, that's still flower. Erm, perhaps the Golem Mill might have some? Anyway, you need 2 cups of this stuff. Salt. This shouldn't be hard to find. Could even bully someone and harvest their tears for their salt content! Or blood, blood is pretty salty too, right? CHOCOLATE! 1 bar (better be dark chocolate, 70%). Ask your date on Valentine. What, no date? Well, at least that would take care of your salt issues! Cocoa powder. 0.4 cup. Don't snort them. They may be addictive, but not THAT type of addictive. Utensils and an oven. A whip, mixing bowl, container bowls, a pot, spatula, measuring cups, baking tray, parchment paper. If you feel like this is a bit NSFW, you're thinking of the wrong type of whip. Steps
Chop the chocolate. Doesn't matter how, they'll get melted later. Thin flakes makes it easier to melt, but not too thin, else it'll melt on the chopping board Put the butter into a small pot, and heat it slowly to a boil. Don't burn it. Crack 4 eggs into the mixing bowl. Separate the yolk from the remaining 4. Also put them into the bowl. Do whatever with the extra whites. Whip the eggs together, until harmonious. As harmonious as Ledah and MaG were when they schemed to kill Granos. Slowly pour the boiling butter over the egg, whipping vigorously to prevent the egg from cooking Put the chocolate into the hot mix, and whip some more. No, not BDSM style. Whip til the choco melts into a nice blend! Put in the vanilla, coffee extract, sugar crushed candy canes, cocoa powder, and salt, and continue mixing Put in the flour! Make sure to pick off the pedals... wait, no, that's flower again, urg! Make sure the flour don't clump, use your hand, a strainer, whatever. Now, get rid of the whip and use a spatula to fold the mixture together. The longer you mix, the chewier the final brownie will get Put your parchment paper over your baking tray. Some oil could be used to help it stick. Some trimming and folding can make things looks nice. Some social skill may help with that valentine chocolate. Just sayin :3 Pour the mixture into the tray. Put into oven. This is a very complicated step. No, really, it varies a LOT based on your equipment. Usually I'd say half an hour at around 220 Celsius. Or 493.15 for you weirdos with a Kelvin oven. Personally, I pour half. Bake for ~7 minutes. Pour remaining half. Bake for 8. Cover with foil. Bake for another 5-10 minutes. This is the result of repeatedly experimenting with my oven, which is technically not even an oven! You'll need to tinker a lot to get a just-right result to your liking. Including with ingredients. Take it out. Wait. Wait longer. Wait til it stop smoking, I don't care how good it smell damnit! Cut and enjoy. With tea. Or coffee. Depending on how "cultured" you are Why this makes me happy
I've been using this recipe a lot. Tinkered with it, a lot. Changed multiple steps. Tried multiple techniques. Baked dozens.
The thing is - I also barely ate any. This is a treat I make for family. Friends. Guests. I do like sweet, and I love what I made, but what makes me happy is to see others enjoys it (and choke on that sweet, sweet calories!). I'm still tweaking it batch-by-batch. The process of making, the experimentation, and most of all, the joys and appreciation, is what makes this dish special.
So, while I'd love to have the MD community try it some day, the best I could do is to post pictures here
These pics may have come from 3 different batches that I made in the past week - I recently tested the double baking process (that also changed a lot of the steps). It's just one improvement of, what I hope to be, many more in the future

I always thought that it was a booby-trap, having the unbind squashed up against the select button.  How much grief has this caused?  Even more now with mobiles...
How about switching the locations of the "View" and "Unbind" buttons - would make life much safer.

They all look amazing, and its such a nice thing you tried.
I would like all participants to receive  something for trying, so i am sponsoring an additional 2 gold to all 3 participants. Gold will be sent to kaya for distributing.

I'm not too good at it, but here's my attempt
I liked how peaceful wind sanctuary is, so I opted to go for some simple kites and balloons, which goes great in an open sky.
 

Here is the final list of all who submitted a correct solution!
@Aia del Mana @Aelis @Dracoloth @Fyrd Argentus @Tissy @Trola @Yoshi Please let me know which spellstone you want here or via PM. I'll try to get them to you before the next anni
Also:
Lady Aia wins an extra GC for having a correct solution less than30 minutes after the quest went online!
As for the anni crits - well, it's hard to say, rather, since there was two particular methods that people used to solve this problem:
Observing that the balls slowly move towards the two corners, 1 cm at a time, every 2 bounces. Thus, it took 2020 (smaller edges) x 2 (bounces per cm) x 2 (back and forth) - 1 = 8079 bounces Tracing the bounces for smaller n/(n+1) rectangles, and finding a general formula of 4 * n - 1. As such, the winners were selected as the solutions that stood out the most to me, for each of this category. Hence:
Tissy wins an anni, for a creative solution (that actually resembles a general case solution for any n x m rectangle and any starting launch angle, that I know of). While he did eventually returned to the 1cm logic, his way of reaching it stood out Yoshi wins an anni, for observing the pattern (with pictures demonstrating the bounces) for smaller rooms, before concluding on the general formula.

Here's a the results!

The representation of nothing as a concept. An idea that revolutionized the world (invention of zero, mathematical concept). Something that's always there, yet could easily boggles the mind of those unaware of it. The opposite of yet another mind twisting concept: infinity.

So the final tally of evenings won is as follows:
Demonic God - FOUR
Ungod - TWO
Clair de Lune, Aelis, Dracoloth, Nepgear, klawdees, Chewett - ONE each
Chewett will do the honors of awarding the nightly prizes.
I am awarding a wish point to Demonic God for sweeping the series.
Let's congratulate all our participants!
