Christian_ was given the list of Circus Types and has chosen for this Circus to be:

MATH

The next Circus will be:

michael222   vs.   Cryptspartan   vs.   Dibby1010

It is a double elimination so 2 of the 3 of you will be eliminated.  BUT, if anyone chooses not to attempt the Circus, they will automatically be eliminated.

For this Circus you will be playing Rainbow Connection Redux.

In this treatment you will hunt on Tengaged and select 15 Tengaged users to use their karma levels to complete several math equations.  The twist is that these 15 users must complete the Tengaged rainbow meaning you will have 1 user per color level (White, Yellow, Orange, Light Green, Green, Blue, Purple, Red, Brown, Black, Silver, Gold, Sky, Blood, TV Star). 

The 2 restrictions you have:

1. You cannot use yourself or anyone who is or was a player or Cadre this season.
2. You cannot use anyone who has 0 or 1 karma.

You will use the karma levels of all 15 users to create 4 different math equations.  For each equation you will be given several restrictions on which math symbols you can use.  You will then have to use ALL 15 numbers in EACH EQUATION.  The goal is to create an equation that is true, meaning the values on both sides of the equal sign are equal.  So for example if the restriction is all plus signs, an example of an equation would be:

WHITE + TV STAR = YELLOW + ORANGE + LIGHT GREEN + GREEN + BLUE + PURPLE + RED + BROWN + BLACK + SILVER + GOLD + SKY + BLOOD

In addition, another twist is you can combine karmas of 2 different users (of the 15) into one.  So if the TV Star karma is 5600 and the White karma is 5, if you combine them by listing them as such in the equation:

WHITE, TV STAR

then the number used in that place will be 55600

If you cannot get the equations to be exactly equal you can submit an uneven equation at the cost of the penalty.  For example if one side of the equation is 450 and the other side is 500, then the penalty points will be the difference of the 2 sides MULTIPLIED by the penalty factor (Dependent on which equation it is).

For this Circus you will each have ONE SUBMISSION.  When you are ready to submit an answer, then mail your submission with the title:

CIRCUS 8 SUBMISSION

MAKE SURE YOU TITLE IT RIGHT as I am offline most of the day tomorrow and can't mail you to correct it. 

Your submission will contain:

1. The LINKS TO THE TENGAGED PROFILES of the 15 users you are using in all equations.
2. The 4 equations you have in the form I showed in the example above.

The links MUST WORK so I suggest you mail yourself first to make sure they work.  If you are missing users or a link does not work then in the equation, the color represented by that missing user will be 1 for the equations but you will receive penalty points equal to

This will require math skills and creativity.

The equations you must complete are as follows as well as the penalty factor:

Equation 1: Only plus signs used (Penalty Factor: 1)
Equation 2: Equal number of plus signs and minus signs. (Penalty Factor: 2)
Equation 3: Use at least 1 plus, 1 minus, 1 multiplication and 1 division sign, the rest can be any of the 4 (Penalty Factor: 5)
Equation 4: Use 2 multiplication signs and 1 division sign and the rest are plus or minus signs with each side of the equation having 1 multiplication. (Penalty Factor: 20)

For the equations ORDER OF OPERATIONS WILL BE COUNTED.  You will only be allowed to use those 4 symbols and cannot include parentheses.

Ultimately the 1 who has the least penalty points will remain in the game and rejoin their team while the 2 players with the most penalty points will be eliminated.  If there is a tie in points then the tiebreaker is the number of penalty points from only Equation 4.  If that is tied we move down one equation at a time.  If that is somehow tied then the tiebreaker is the difference between the largest and smallest karma you used with the smallest number winning.

You will have until TOMORROW (Sunday) at 2 am est (just under 24 hours) to send me your submissions.

You may begin whenever you wish.

If you have any questions or need clarifications just ask.

Good luck.
