So that’s the connection between episodes 100 and 200: pay attention to the characters in the background.

Okay so just rewatched it- in what universe did Shining win fairly? He set up the whole gauntlet for Twilight to run through, only to camp next to the crown so she couldn’t possibly get it without a guard noticing because he is a guard. That’s basically cheating, and I’m shocked Celestia didn’t call him out for it.

The parameters still let him do that, and in the context of it being basically a test run for security makes it sensible.
 
It’s a dick move on the level of friendly competition though.

Because Maud drew the X where the rock was least tough, which was where AJ could most likely break the rock with 1 buck (and least likely hurt herself). She bucks trees, not rocks, and she never breaks the trees with bucking.

Now the questions are 1) Why didn’t Maud do that herself and 2)Is Maud really that strong then? For all we know, whenever she breaks apart a rock, she could just be chipping away a structurally weak points that require little effort to tear away

I’m wondering why he initiated that challenge to Twilight at all if he kept the crown when he left home?

I’m going with the idea that Maud has a very peculiar code of ethics that prohibits her from directly doing anything wrong, but doesn’t prevent her from providing information to others who intend to do so themselves. Case and point, her telling Starlight where to find a rock capable of storing the cutie mark magic of a village.
 
And I’d say she is strong enough. She eats rocks and once threw a boulder hard enough to make a mushroom cloud.

Nice touch I also liked about the episode is that in the tweet Jim Miller said it was a thank you to the 5 voice actresses of the mane cast, and so who helps Spike? Luna, who’s also voiced by Rarity.

I don’t know, but for all we know the final All CMC episode is probably going to be one where they help a pegasus filly get into a school, only for the filly to be evil /makingfunofmyowntinfoilhat. Final one will probably be the Scootaloo’s Family episode.
