Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
First things first, S.T.A.R.S. and Umbrella are no more. The two tribes have merged into a single tribe. Congrats to the 10 of you for making it this far. Now it becomes every man, woman, child and old lady for themselves. From here on out you will be battling for individual immunity. You need to decide on a new tribe name.
  1. Rndm_Perfection
  2. happydude666
  3. Perfect Stu
  4. GameMaster
  5. Dylflon
  6. Yoda98864
  7. Canyarion
  8. Vampyr
  9. GiMpY_wAnNaBe
  10. The_Germanator

To celebrate, tonight's challenge will be easy and festive. This evening we're having a jellybean guessing contest. I will post pictures of a jar of jellybeans and each of you will guess how many beans are in the jar. The closest person wins.

The A.G.R.S. may submit a single collective guess. If they happen to win, none of the Survivors will be granted immunity. Furthermore, the A.G.R.S. will be the ones who decide which Survivor gets kicked out.

I'll post the pics later tonight and you'll have until tomorrow to submit your guesses. I'm not sure when they'll be up because I still have to buy and count the damn beans. :D

Sweet! This is good for me because I can't be here tonight...I'm gonna be the jelly bean guessing king!... :unsure:

Canyarion 01-16-2004 02:58 PM

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
Yay... guessing jelly beans.... fortunate we don't have to guess the flavor.... because we don't have jelly beans here. But my US familly sometimes gives us some... :unsure:

Happydude 01-16-2004 03:12 PM

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
ummmm...yes...jelly beans...there are 4863 in that jar!!!! :sneaky:

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)

Er yeah, I second Outbreak

Neo. In order to prevent a "Price is Right" disaster with the number guessing (y'know... guessing one higher than the person before you to null out their odds), perhaps you should have us PM our guesses to you.

And sure, Outbreak is fine.



EDIT:

Ok, something just came to my mind.

Outbreak Stackhouse.

Happydude 01-16-2004 03:53 PM

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
i was thinking about something along the lines of Zombies or something like that

Dark Samurai 01-16-2004 04:11 PM

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)

I was planning on it

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
Except for A.G.R.S., I want you to post your guess in your forum. I don't want to receive conflicting PMs from each of you.

Canyarion 01-16-2004 04:52 PM

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
I nominate Infected.

BTW, how much time do we have to guess it? 24 hours? I'd apreciate that. :)

Time to research the answer won't help very much this time, Canyarion =¬Þ


And one more question, Neo. Does the person with immunity get to hand it over to another player? I believe that's how it goes in the show.

Canyarion 01-16-2004 05:12 PM

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
Nah I say let us compete for the immunity every time. :D

Perfect Stu 01-16-2004 05:28 PM

On occasion they have done that.

so it has begun.....tee hee, i always wanted to say that :D


How about Infection? because it actually sounds LIKE a name...rather than infectED....ya....

*shrugs and walks away*

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
i didn't nominate "zombies" i said i was thinking along the lines of something like that...so that someone might come up with something along those lines.


and i guess i would go with infection, although it is more from "28 days later" (if that's what the movie is called) then resident evil.

On behalf of Team S.T.A.R.S., I would like to welcome our new team members, those who were once opposed, now joins hands together for the reign of a new single team!

With the exception of Canyarion's Angrist account, which is still under team Umbrella for mysterious reasons not yet discovered.

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
I'm gonna miss my STARS banner... mainly because I liked the quote that Vampyr suggested and the image of Ogre (from Skinny Puppy). But I dunno, maybe a different ghoulish band member and quotable quote will appear on the banner of the merged tribe.


BTW Yoda. Didn't it feel weird swapping banners with me? =¬Þ

Team ContamiNation

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
There are a total of 1141 jellybeans in the jar.


Rndm_Perfection was remarkably close with a guess of 1150, as was Dylflon with a guess of 1128. Even though Rndm was closer by 4 beans, I'm allowing for a margin of error in my counting abilities. Rndm_Perfection and Dylflon are awarded duel immunity.


Rndm_Perfection WINS IMMUNITY!
Dylflon WINS IMMUNITY!


Voting will take place in the new Tribal Council forum.

Dylflon 01-18-2004 02:07 AM

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
*phew*

Well met Rndm.

Good job guys, it's no surprise that both winners were former STARS members ;)

Care to share the secret to your remarkably close estimates? Psychic abilities? Math geniuses? :)

I tried using math to solve it.

I approximated the volume of a jelly bean, and the volume of the jar, the divided. I must of had an error in my calculations because I missed it big time.

Did you account for the volume which exists between the beans?

No. :(

But I guessed 465. That was extremely low. If I had accounted for the space inbetween, than my guess would have been even lower.

Canyarion 01-18-2004 08:28 AM

Re: Challenge#7 Info (A.G.R.S. too)
 
Lol, I counted the ammount of beans in 1 layer. Then I counted the layers and multiplied it with 4/5. I was kinda way off with 1507. :(
