A gauntlet is a challenge. It's a common phrase to say "running the gauntlet" but you don't have to even say it that way
-
It's a phrase or saying that implies a challenge too.

'Run the gauntlet' Basically, can you pass the challenge. Not a degree course insight, just an accurate forum post name (:

Edited by Kopi_Snipes96: 10/18/2015 6:23:59 PM"Run the challenge" would make sense Gauntlet is not a word that can be used as an alternative to challenge though "Throw down the Gauntlet" is literally what they would do to imply the challenge like "throw down the glove" you wouldn't say "run the glove" would you?

You literally contradicted yourself. It's throwing down a challenge. Here, I challenge you to answer the question. Do you accept. It [i]is [/i] a valid option to use, it just isn't needed for regular conversation.

Throw down the Gauntlet is the action someone would do to imply a challenge I'll accept the challenge

Thank you
