Hehe, looks like everything isn't what it appears. Though the lost chance at an exemption is never good. But either way, it's much more diffcult to figure it out now, so there's a good chance I won't get a single one correct this quiz. Though, the asme could happen to anyone else.
Oh yeah, how do you break ties? Since you can't really determine who was the quickest at finishing their quiz, is it who sends theirs in first?
By the way, I will be on for the challenge tonight, seeing as I have no hinderances this time around.

Well if one can't make a log of the events can someone summarize it for me? I do not like missing out.

No, actually, o_0, you couldn't have won an exemption. I had already set up a time with cap to do a mini-game, and we just decided to play the mini-game then instead, since we couldn't do the challenge.
And cap, that's kind of boarderline, getting the name from o_0, but there's nothing I can do about it now.
And there's a very simple way I determine ties: the Mole gets to choose. Just like if more than one person don't send in a quiz, if two people tie for the lowest answers right then the Mole gets to pick which one gets executed.

Yes, you guys won. (Although not how I intended for you to win. 
)
Yay, challenge Synopsis!!
Today, I wondered if I'd be able to do the challenge, but we eventually had 4 people, so it worked out fine.
o_0 showed up first, about 15 minutes before 6. Noelle showed up shortly after 6, Kugetsu about 6:15, and rachel at about 6:25.
The team was shown the above coded sentence, and told that it was a sentence taken from somewhere off of PPT. (NOT the forums) They had 30 minutes to de-code the phrase then find where it was from and who wrote it.
After staring at the sentence for a few minutes, the players began to discuss what kind of code it might be. They noticed that there was one word that stood alone, the seventh word. Since it was alone, it had to be either A or I.
Noelle correctly guessed that it was a type of graph code, but since no one else picked up on it the team persued other possibilities. Here's the graph code I used, in case anyone was wondering:
~1 2 3 4 5
1 A B C D E
2 F G H I J
3 K L M N O
4 P Q R S T
5 U V W X Y
As you can see, the letter A is 1 down 1 across, making the number 11.
If the team had picked up on it, they might have figured out the other numbers, and therefore the phrase, but when it got down to 10 minutes left, o_0 pursued....... other strategies.
Knowing that I said the sentence was from somewhere on PPT, and that they could guess as much as they wanted, o_0 began to randomly guess articles in the hopes that he might find the right one. He eventually did, as the sentence is "It is impossible to hack into a program!" from the article "What they don't want you to know about scams" written by Fiddleysquat. Even though they didn't figure out the code, all I had required was the correct place/author of the sentence, and the team therefore earned 10k, bringing the total up to 152k. Well done.
I will have the next quiz up soon, and we will have our next execution. Just a reminder, cap is exempt, so someone else will have to leave.

Highers my chance of getting executed.
Mon Oct 04, 2004 11:13 pm
Sorry I missed this everyone! We have had a busy, busy weekend! When is the next challenge up? Or is it the quiz that is going to be up? We got a quick run to the library and then I'll be right back. I promise!
Mon Oct 04, 2004 11:17 pm
The next challenge won't be until at least Friday, and the quiz should be up either late tonight or early tomorrow. And don't worry about missing, we had the minimum 4 that we needed to run the challenge.
*Edit* Oh, yes, I have a small favor to ask of everyone. I need you all to fill out this little mini-quiz. It's not an execution quiz, and there are no right or wrong answers. But it IS required of everyone, including people who would be exempt from an execution. For every question you must pick someone from the list of remaining players. (Not yourself) No money will be added to the group pot for this, sorry.
1. Who is most likely to cheat?
2. Who would you like to see go next?
3. Who do you like the most?
4. If you couldn't win, who would you like to see win the money?
5. Who is most likely to give advice about neopets?
6. Who do you think is the Mole?

We won? that's nice.
Congratulations everyone. I guess me being not there didn't have much of an effect.
