lampshades

On the left one :
0535
063
051

on the right one :
102610
0745
062

We need to use the answers from the week challenges :
SWORD
BANANASPLIT
GUILLOTINE
SAMURAI
SHIHAN

We can associate the numbers with the words splitting banana-split into 2 words :
SWORD 0535
BANANA 063
SPLIT 051
GUILLOTINE 102610
SAMURAI 0745
SHIHAN 062

We can see the 2 first digits are the length of the words :
SWORD 05 35
BANANA 06 3
SPLIT 05 1
GUILLOTINE 10 2610
SAMURAI 07 45
SHIHAN 06 2

The we need to use the remaining numbers to extract some letters from the words.
SWORD 3rd and 5th : OD
BANANA 3rd : N
SPLIT 1st : S
GUILLOTINE 2nd, 6th and 10th : UOE
SAMURAI 4th and 5th : U and R
SHIHAN 2nd : H

We get : OD N S UOE UR H

Using an anagram solver like http://anagram-solver.net/ with give us the solution.
