And as I mentionned earlier this year, this could have been a hint about the theme of the challenge :

Quote:
One squeaky duck toy = a squeaky duck toy

Dozens of squeaky duck toys = the Visigoths descending on Rome

Visigoths descended on Rome led by Alaric I.
"Alaric is best known for his sack of Rome in 410, which marked a decisive event in the decline of the Roman Empire." (from Wikipedia)

And, as we know now, the theme of this year's challenge is Middle Age...

"In European history, the Middle Ages or Medieval period lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire" (from Wikipedia again)
