Welcome to your next Fates' Challenge, The Scales of Justice.
In this Fates' Challenge, each individual will have their own scale with 2 platforms, the left platform and the right platform. In addition each individual will be given the following set of weights:
Four 5 pound weights
Four 10 pound weights
Three 15 pound weights
Three 20 pound weights
Two 25 pound weights
Two 30 pound weights
Two 35 pound weights
Two 40 pound weights
Two 45 pound weights
Two 50 pound weights
In each round, each player will select any two weights they have remaining. They will place one weight on their own scale (left or right) and they will place one weight on one of their opponent's scale (left or right).
The goal is at the end of any round to have your Scale of Justice evenly balanced. The first person in each match-up to have their scales perfectly balanced with an equal amount of weight on both left and right side will win this Elimination Challenge and re-enter the game. The loser will be eliminated from the competition.
Each round lasts 3 minutes. If a player does not send their choices in that time, then they will not place any weights but will lose 2 weights to use which will be one of their lightest and one of their heaviest weights.
If a player's scale is balanced with both sides having no weight on, it is balanced but THAT DOES NOT COUNT AS A WIN. You must have balanced scales WITH WEIGHT ON THEM
If all weights are used and neither scale is perfectly balanced, then the person who's scale is CLOSEST to being perfectly balanced will win.
Remember you mail me:
1. Which weight you place on YOUR OWN SCALE and which platform (Left or Right)
2. Which weight you place on WHICH OF YOUR TWO OPPONENT'S SCALE and which platform (Left or Right)
Any questions?
