Magnet Fishing

Title text: The ten-way tie was judged a ten-way tie, so no one won the grand prize, a rare fishing monopole.

Explanation

A World Magnet Fishing Championship was apparently only held once, because of the contestants' magnets getting stuck together. Magnet fishing is the act of using a magnet to find ferrometallic objects in a body of water. It can be used to recover specific lost items, or simply to see what interesting or valuable items can be found. This is reminiscent of magnetic fishing games (such as "Let's Go Fishing" and "Go Fishing") where players use fishing rods with small magnets on the ends to "catch" fish.

The title text links the (effectively mythical) concept of a magnetic monopole with a fishing rod, a.k.a. 'pole', such as might be considered an acceptable prize in fishing competition. It also looks like a tautology, though the first "ten-way tie" depicts how the ten lines are 'knotted' together, and the second indicates the equality of the final score. This suggests that nobody 'fished' anything other than "all the other nine magnets", prior to the inevitable conclusion.

The characters from left to right are: Hairbun, Ponytail, Cueball, Megan, another Cueball, White Hat, another Megan, Hairy, another Ponytail, and another Hairy.]
