Alright guys, sorry for the delay. With the Survivor finale we didn't have anything and yesterday I wasn't feeling good and went to be stupid early. But this game must continue.
12 people remain but your next challenge will not be tonight, but I'd like to congratulate you all. DROP YOUR BUFFS. YOU HAVE MERGED!
However, this is Jurassic World, and this is a place of many scientific mysteries. Scientists here have done what seemed to be the impossible and was able to replicate dinosaurs and brink species back to life
There is a 28 question quiz that will be posted. You must mail the answers to me and Lifer.
Part 2- Endurance
You must mail me and lifer saying *grabs flag #* You can do this every 3 minutes for ONE HOUR. If you grab a flag too early,even by a second, or grab the wrong number flag then no flags you grab from there on out will count. You can start this at any time, we will not reply to any messages even if you mess up.
Part 3- Scavenger
Your job is to search for players on this site that have 50 or more gifts. You will make a list of the LINKS to their profiles and send them to myself and Lifer. YOU MAY ONLY SEND THE LIST ONCE, IF IT GETS CUT OFF YOU MUST SEND THE REST RIGHT AFTER SO CHECK!!!
Points for part 1 are listed in that challenge, read rules carefully.
You will gain 4 points for every flag grabbed.
You will gain 1 point for every person you find with over 50 gifts.
This is the MALUS Intelligence Test (MIT). For every question will have a number, a title, and a point value. If you answer the question correctly you will get that point value, if you are wrong then that point value will be subtracted from your score. YOU MUST ANSWER EVERY QUESTION; FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN BEING DISQUALIFIED FROM RETURNING. This is super important and I wrote it in caps to show its importance so don’t mess it up. Note that all the questions are also connected in the same universe. Also, if there is not enough information to answer a question then you may answer the question “not enough information”, but if there is enough information it will be wrong.
1. Starting off easy, 1 point
Tom goes to Barbara’s Diner and orders 3 eggs, over easy, and 3 hard-boiled eggs. Tom is wearing a red hat, a yellow shirt, and faded denim jeans. He has $10.49 in his pocket, but if that is not enough he can pay for the rest using his debit card. The hardboiled eggs normally cost $2.14 each while the eggs over easy usally cost $2.22. Scrambled eggs cost $2.30 per egg but Tom doesn’t really like those. However, today is Eggs Wednesday so eggs are half off. How many eggs did Tom order?
2. Hippo!!! 4 points
Herbert the hippo can walk 3 miles an hour for 10 miles without taking a break. Herbert decides to take a walk one day to the nearby town’s Toys R Us to purchase his favorite game, Hungry, Hungry Hippos. He may stop at Barbara’s Diner, but on the way home. Toys R Us is 6 and a half miles away. If Hubert the hippo was to walk at his normal speed how long would it take him to walk the 6.5 miles to Toys R Us?
3. Whats on my back? 2 points for right answer and 3 points for right explanation
There are 2 black pieces of paper and 3 white pieces of paper in a box. You are in a room with 2 other people named Bill and Ted, who have just returned from an excellent adventure. You are blindfolded and someone tapes one of those papers to each of your backs then that person takes the box with the remaining papers away. You are unable to see the color on your back but you are able to see that both Bill and Ted have white pieces of paper on their back. You each need to figure out which color paper you have on your back, but you don’t want to let the other people figure it out before you. A half hour passes and neither Bill nor Ted can figure it out. What color is on your back? How do you know this? (ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS)
4. Mmm, 2 points.
Barbara’s Diner has a very delicious selection of pies on the menu including: blueberry, apple, pumpkin and pecan. The prices of each pie varies in a very odd way. Each pie is worth 50 cents for every letter in their pie type. For example: apple pie is worth $2.50 a slice while blueberry costs $4.50 a slice. If you were to add up the costs of 3 slices of cherry pie and a slice of pumpkin pie what does pi equal?

You have made it to the final four in Survivor, yay! However, Mike has decided to cause a tie vote against you so you must now compete in a fire making challenge. After 3 hours nobody can start fire, and while this means you will probably lose the jury vote you still really want to get to the end. You are given a box of matches, fritos, wool, newspaper, lighter fluid and a banana. What should be the first thing you light if you want to start your fire the quickest?
25. Bag 1, 5 points
You buy a new backpack from Target because your last one was cheap (that’s what you get from buying it at Walmart) and broke.

PART 1- Red KILLED this round scoring 70 points while the next closest was 24 points. Here were the answers I was looking for (if other answers were valid I accepted them).
Wheels was disqualified for leaving answers blank
1. 6 eggs (simple)
2. Not enough information. You are told about Herbert the hippos speed, but never anything about Hubert the hippo which is what the question asked (all got this wrong)
3. White, as nobody gets this answer quick. If you had black then Bill or Ted would know they have white when the other person does not run to the door seeing 2 black pieces of paper.
4. 3.1415926535897932384626.....
5. 5 kids
6. If you said "you dont bury survivors" congrats you scored NEGATIVE 2 points. Rules state a wrong answer means the score listed will subtract the amount so any people that gave a wrong answer got 2 points -(-2)=2
7. Carmen
8. White (see question 3)
9. She was walking
10. 2. We know Ray has 4 apples, so Linda has 3. Since 4 are green 3 are red. You take 3 away leaving her with 2 red. So you took 1 red and 2 green.
11. You are playing baseball and stuck between third base and home plate
12. Washing DC/address (all got this)
13. 12, every month always has at least 28 days in it no matter what type of year it is
14. It is January 1st and Penny's birthday is on New Year's Eve.
15. No merge yet/only 5 people on tribe (accepted 5 people are on exile)
16. 1 more year, since it doubles every year it will go from being half full to full in only one year
17. 8, simple math
18. 90. 40/.5 is 80 plus 10.
19. There is no dirt in a hole
20. You can't dig half a hole
21. Together since going separate means you'd have to buy yourself a ticket twice if you brought them separately
22. One and a half hours. You take first pill at minute 0, and 4th pill at the hour and a half mark meaning all pills are then gone
23. 2nd place
24. A match
25. 7, cant carry half a book
26. Your name (all correct)
27. 1, after that the bag is no longer empty
28. You throw it up in the air
Part 2 is the Flag grab... Robin KILLED it getting 18 flags, outscoring the closest competitor by 8 flags. Cali made a big error after flag 8 and tried to grab flag 9 within a minute, and flag 10 again before the 3 minute mark so only gets credit for 8.
So each of the three main competitors finished first second and third in a competition. This was well fought out, but which one accumulated the most points? I would love to have all 3 of you return, but that can not be the case for this season unfortunately.
Red, you have officially been eliminated from this game. You are a riddle master, but that wasn't enough to overcome 22 scavenger hunt items. Thank you for playing, but it's time for you to go
Sean and Robin.. one of you was able to eek out the win. You answered a lot of similar answers in the riddles, and while Robin had more flags Sean had more scavenger hunt items found
However, in the end returning to the game is.... SEAN
I'm sorry Robin, you are a fierce competitor but today it just wasn't enough. You have been eliminated from this game and I thank you for playing and giving it your all. It's time for you to go.
With that Sean will rejoin the merged group. Next challenge at 7pm EST Sunday.
