CONTEST: a new chance to Guess the Shadow

Hi and welcome all Hivers to a spanking new version of the Guess the Shadow contest. this all-new version is exactly the same as the old one, hopefully equally as enigmatic and antic, just sporadic instead of a weekly event.

there are 2 ways of winning. one should be obvious: you guess what is casting the shadow. the first to guess correctly wins the prize and to celebrate, i throw a tropical beach party or somethin'. the other way to win is to submit the most creative and fun reply. no holds barred. you can reply directly to each announcement. so there can be 1 or 2 winners but sadly there is also the possibility that nobody wins.

no worries though, there are 💋Ecency points🥰 prizes for all participants. so why not join the fun!
half of the earnings of the contest go to the shady character above and half to the Shadow Hunters community. there is just one rule and that is: The Golden Rule. if you are unfamiliar with it, it goes more or less like: Undo two others as they have to undo you too.

now if you find yourself feeling undone after spending an entire week pedantically examining the shadow and when you finally figure it out and ecstatically begin to post your reply you see somebody already beat you to it days ago, remember there's always the creativity and fun option!

what on earth is casting this shadow
contest closes whichever comes first:
bitcoin hits $100,000 or
the last of the diehard Flat Earthers concede or
the Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Boston reaches Andrew Square

oh, you want to know the prize. of course you do. so do I because it is coming out of my wallet. How about we say 3 Hive this time and see how it goes.
Best of luck
