Bleh, I am so careless today. I forgot to mention another thing: you have 24 hours to finish the immunity challenge, starting from the time of the original post.

I am okay at Neopets Trivia, so if you need someone, I'll try.

I'll go for the reward if you guys want, you'd think 45 months at it, i would have atleast some knowledge of it.
Sat Feb 12, 2005 2:38 am
Wee..45 months. That's good. You should try.
I wanna try..I've played for only like 40 months and had 5 months with no idea what I was doing.

The questions are indeed quite tough. I would suggest that all applicants do some reading up and research before taking the quiz.

So who sent a person for the reward challenge? If no one responds, then..

Reminder: You have approximately 1 more hour to complete the first part of your reward challenge.

Results for Immunity Challenge
Valentia has won the immunity challenge thanks to xjox, who sent in the correct answer 8 hours after the contest was announced. Hakunamatata did not send in an answer. The correct answer is:
The sequence is actually in a basic numeral code with the numbers 1-26 representing the letters A-Z respectively. The only complication was that they were in Roman numerals. The number in brackets indicate the sum of the numbers before the brackets added altogether, and were provided to help you separate the Roman numerals correctly.
The actual sequence is a simple one regarding the first 5 letters of the Greek Alphabet, namely, Alpha, Beta, Gamma (missing word), Delta and Epsilon.
Reward Challenge details
o_0 and Blk Mage were the first two to apply for the reward challenge. I will be arranging a time with them to hold the contest shortly.
The quiz consists of 10 questions, and each must be answered within 10 seconds. No referring to the Neopets site or any other sites is allowed during the quiz. Each questions scores you one point and the tribe which gains the most points wins immunity. In case of a tie, there will be a tie breaker round.

Since the immunity challenge is over, we'd might as well start voting now to speed the game up.
Voting Guidelines
1) Voting will resume normalcy. Vote for people in your own tribe. Hakunamatata shall vote for two while Valentia one. As usual, you have 24 hours to vote.
2) Please adhere to the following format, it makes collating the results much easier for me:
PM Title -
PM content -
For double votes just repeat the above formula for the second person. Don't include the brackets, obviously.

(Name of your tribe) - vote (person/s you wish to vote for)
PM content -
Vote: (Person you are voting for)
(Reason for voting this person) <- I would appreciate it if you mentioned the person's name here again so that I don't have to add it in when posting, in the case where there are two people voted for.

BTW, here's is the full explanation for the benefit of those still puzzled:
The original sequence was Alpha, Beta, Gamma (missing word), Delta, Epsilon, the first five letters of the Greek alphabet.
I then encoded them using the simple number-for-letter code in which A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on.
This will produce 1-12-16-8-1, 2-5-20-1, 7-1-13-13-1, 4-5-12-20-1, 5-16-19-9-12-15-14.
I then converted the numbers into Roman numerals, so that for Alpha, it would be I-XII-XVI-VIII-I, and so on.
Next I eliminated the dashes between separate letters so as to complicate things further. However, I put the total sum of the numbers in each word in brackets after the word, so as to clue you on how to solve it.
Eg: for Alpha, 1+12+16+8+1=38, I put the number 38 in brackets after the code for Alpha, hence you get IXIIXVIVIIII (XXXVIII). Yes, XXXVIII is the Roman numeral equivalent of 38.

Funny that.. the stuff in brackets was what threw me completely! I would have solved it so much quicker if it wasnt for those darn brackets!
