For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Is dragged kicking and screaming from Valentia* Good-bye guys........ *sniff* And xjox, I hope you don't have a difficult time with the challenges, it can get kinda rough over there....... Well, greetings to my new teammates. I had a very sneaking suspicion that Qanda was going to do this. A few things you should know about me:

I'm on from 10am-12 midnight EST time. That means I can't participate any later than 9pm NST time. I also don't use IM services. Everything I do will either be on this board, or via PM.


Hmm, a graphics challenge..... I quite simply cannot create graphics, as I only have MS Paint. However, I will try my hardest. (And Qanda, since I was on Valentia when we got the extra money reward challenge, does that mean the reward still applies to me?)

Qanda... you have successfully confused me. Explain how you want the avatar to fit within sig limits, when it does so already, please. :P

Immunity Challenge - The Great Mathematical Relay

Qanda enters. “I am going to start the immunity challenge now since this one is difficult and will need lots of time to complete. It is called The Great Mathematical Relay, and will prove much harder than the word race.

Game details:

1) One person in the tribe will be given a number by me (via PM) and asked to pass it on to another specific member of the tribe.

2) The other tribe members will be given a set of mathematical steps, such as “x+4” or “x*5”, and instructions on who to pass the number onto. “x” here refers to the number received.

3) One person in the tribe will be the last person, and shall get the final number, perform his set of mathematical instructions on it, then PM the final answer to me.

4) Therefore, once the first person receives the number from me, he shall PM the number to the person instructed in my PM. The second person will then perform his set of mathematical steps on it and then PM the new number derived to the person instructed in his PM. When the number reaches the last person, he will perform his mathematical steps on it then PM me the final answer.


Example: Player A, B, C and D are participating. Player A starts the relay. He is given the number 4 and is asked to PM this number to Player B. Player B is given the mathematical instructions “x+12” and asked to pass the number to Player C. Player C is given the mathematical instructions “x/2” and asked to pass the number to player D. Player D is given the mathematical instructions “x-5” and asked to PM the number to me.

Therefore, Player A will send his number (4) to Player B. Player B will perform his mathematical steps on it, adding 12 to 4, thereby getting 16. He PMs Player C the number 16 (don’t PM the steps, just PM the number). Then Player C divides 16 by 2, getting 8, and PMs the number 8 to Player D. Lastly, Player D subtracts 5 from 8, getting 3, and sends the number 3 to me.

5) You may not post your number or mathematical steps on the thread. All proceedings must be conducted through PM.

6) The first tribe from which I receive the correct final number wins immunity. You have a maximum of 48 hours to complete this challenge. If both tribe do not manage to complete it on time, both tribes will lose and suffer the same fate.

The challenges has not started yet as I've not yet sent out the PMs. I will post here announcing when it starts. You are only allowed to start work after I make that post. In the meantime, feel free to post any questions you have about the challenge.

Tue Feb 08, 2005 5:41 am

All PMs have been sent out. You may start working on the immunity challenge now.

Tue Feb 08, 2005 6:36 am

Crud! I'm the last person (IE : I have to send it to Qanda)

This may be a problem with School complications. I'll try to get on as much as possible tomorrow though.

Tue Feb 08, 2005 2:51 pm

Alright, I'm here. I need to be passed the number.

And to xjox: I am seriously going to miss you! You were a valuable asset to the tribe, and I am sad to see you go.

Tue Feb 08, 2005 2:55 pm

Oh good, I re-read the post and it's 48 hours instead of the usual 24. *whew!* Hope we do well. :)

Tue Feb 08, 2005 4:29 pm

The final Survivor's name would be in place of Qanda's.

And many thanks to Shadow, I would have had a terrible .JPG if you hadn't helped me out. ;)
