Welcome Everyone to the Final RI Battle!

This is the spot where one player will earn the right to re-enter the game as a full fledged finalist. The remaining players on Redemption Island by the end of this battle will be eliminated from the game for good.

This battle is between the following participants:

Batya (Micheal C) vs. splozojames50 (Splozo J) vs. Spinner554 (Austin G) vs. Kelly0412 (Kelly R) vs. mysterygame2 (Nolan K)

The name of this battle is "Rainbow Connection". Credit to this comp goes to RShowFreak

In this competition 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 3 restrictions you have:

1. You cannot use yourself or anyone who is or was a player  this season.
2. You cannot use anyone who has 0 or 1 karma.
3. You cannot use anyone who is currently enrolled in a Tengaged game such as Castings, Fastings, etc as it would make their karma eligible to change.

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. The combine feature may be used an unlimited amount of time in each equation.

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

FINAL RI BATTLE 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 DIFFERENT 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 the highest penalty earned by you and your opponents in one equation doubled.

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: Use at least 1 multiplication and 1 plus sign, no division may be used. The rest of the signs can be any of the 3. (Penalty Factor: 2)
Equation 3: Use EXACTLY four signs, no sign may be used more than twice. (Penalty Factor: 5)
Equation 4: MUST use parenthesis on both sides, must include exactly 1 plus, 1 minus, 1 multiplication, and 1 division. Nothing else. (Penalty Factor: 10)

For the equations ORDER OF OPERATIONS WILL BE COUNTED.  You will only be allowed to use those 4 symbols and cannot include parentheses unless stated you are allowed to. Just to be clear, you must use a DIFFERENT equation for each one, so I expect FOUR DIFFERENT equations. Failing to do so will result in IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION.

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.

Ultimately the 1 person who has the least penalty points will re-enter the game as a finalist.

This competition starts now, and you have until tomorrow (Sunday) 8:59 PM PST (11:59 PM EST) to submit.

Good Luck!
