Challenge 21: Luck of the Draw

Description: Feeling lucky? Then let's play a game of chance: pick three cards from a regular card deck. I'll use the randomizer (random-cards.com, specifically for playing cards) to pick three cards as well. You get points based on full and partial matches between both draws.

Requirements:
- decide on three cards from a regular card deck
- make a comment in your team thread using the box below and fill in your chosen cards:

- that's it. You're done.

Points:
- 10 points for picking three cards
+ 5 points per colour match (you pick a red card, the randomizer picks a red card)
+ 5 points per suit match (you pick clubs, the randomizer picks clubs)
+ 5 per number/face match (you pick a king, the randomizer picks a king)
+ 15 for a complete match (you pick the ace of hearts, the randomizer picks the ace of hearts)
+ 1 for sig tag

Due Date: Saturday, July 31, 10 pm Middle European Time (Countdown | Time Converter) - yeah, I've used the same timer as for the crossword challenge since they end at the same time

Challenge 20: TV Show Crossword - With A Twist

Description: Solve the crossword!

Requirements:
- This is the crossword: https://i.imgur.com/p9LT8gm.png

(it's pretty big, so I recommend using a graphics programme to fill it in rather than printing it out)
- For the clues, go to this dropbox folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dn1z1u8238i36m9/AACdtMbaOyWchvnmOoJvG3r-a?dl=0
- Listen to the 30 TV Theme songs uploaded there: these are your clues for the crossword. I picked popular shows from various decades that I thought had well-known theme songs. I've uploaded the full theme songs and some of them are ridiculously easy even if you don't watch the show. If you get stuck on a theme, you can always see if you can make an educated guess.
- fill the names of the shows into the crossword field with the corresponding number
- please use a readable font (no cursive/handwriting fonts please); font colour is up to you
- black squares within words are empty spaces between words or hypens
- comments are screened
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that there might be some confusion with #30 because of the number of blank spaces not equating to the number of letters in the answer. That's true - I didn't think about removing the punctuation before I entered it into the crossword generator, so there are two extra spaces for a comma and an exclamation point. I won't deduct any points if someone gets this particular answer wrong.

Points:
- 1 point for each show you've filled in correctly (30 total)
+ 15 for getting all of them correct
+ 1 for sig tag
- max possible points = 46 points
