AOKH Survivor


How it works

You sign up. In each round, a challenge is set. You complete the challenge. The owner of the worst entry is eliminated. The last forummer to remain in the game is declared the Survivor.


The Rules

♦It is now too late to sign up, sorry. Every player has one "bye" - a free pass for one round of their choosing (not including the final round). You don't need to state when you are using your bye; if you do not submit an entry in time, your bye will be used.♦

♥If you enter a round but are eliminated, you then join the judging panel. If you fail to submit an entry and have used your bye, you are eliminated but you will not be eligible to join the judging panel.♥

♣In each round, the entries will be judged by the judging panel. The judging criteria will be made public within this thread, so you'll have a good idea of how to succeed.♣

THE FINAL

For the final, Major Helper and Watson will be racing against each other to submit the correct answers to a set of six puzzles. You may submit your answers either by email (closet.hippy(at)gmail(dot)com) or within the thread - but bear in mind, if you submit in the thread and get anything wrong, the other player may hijack your answers! You win when you get all six answers correct.

The puzzles vary in style and difficulty but you must get all of the answers correct in order to win and claim the prize of a Custom Title, courtesy of Leif Ericson. If you submit an incorrect answer, I will tell you which answer(s) you have got wrong and you may try again. There is no deadline; the round closes once one player gets all the answers correct - they are then declared the Survivor.

Puzzle One

The King is hosting a large party. So large, in fact, that he has 1000 bottles of wine to cater for his guests. However, some scallywag has poisoned one (and only one) bottle of the wine. Naturally, it would be disastrous to serve poisoned wine to the guests - and it is too late to replace it all because the party is tomorrow. Fortunately, the King has servants at his disposal; if a servant consumes even the slightest trace of the poison, he will die a few hours before the party - giving you time to remove the poisoned bottle before your guests arrive. Your servants are not indispensable, however; you must use as few servants as possible and yet be absolutely certain which bottle is the poisoned one. How many servants do you need and how do you find the poisoned bottle?

Your answer should include the number of servants and the method you would employ to find the dodgy bottle. Any method that works is acceptable (eg. use 1000 servants) but the most efficient answer (i.e. the fewest servants used) is preferable.

Puzzle Two

2: Harold
3: Edward
5: Harold
7: James

What's next? Why?

Your answer should be a number and a name. You should give the reason behind your logic. Google may help here.

Puzzle Three

This puzzle is in two parts: The first line can be decoded to give a clue towards the second part. The solution to the second puzzle is your answer.

(Part i): 843153996731471843134448413536368

(Part ii): Fclhcja'q ruk cilkqrepq.

Your answer should be easy to find once you have solved Part ii.

Puzzle Four

What has it got in its pocketses?

Puzzle Five

It came between Time and Money. What was it?

Clue: 39 years ago

Puzzle Six

William the Conqueror is BAGG. Who is BEJC?

Well, I suppose I can try. Now to come up with a poem, which is somewhat hard to do when you're not natively English Maybe I could post a Finnish one instead ?

Oh well, here's a haiku (not a completely correct one but oh well ).

Major Helper if you'd rather enter a Finnish one in order to get the rhyme/rhythm right that's cool, but can you post an English translation too?

Watters, I've seen that one before; I ain't no stupidhead.

Dementor - I'm prepared to let you judge if you're prepared to not be a troll.

Herr - More than happy for you to judge.

Great to see more entries rolling in; I've updated the OP.

Mashek and Major Helper - I really like both your haikus. MH it doesn't seem to lose anything in the translation, I'm impressed! I quite like stroke's too, since I have a soft spot for the Potterverse!

Also with regard to prizes - I may be able to stretch to a small cash prize but no promises!

About judging: I've opted for BSU_DoLhadeS and Herr Elessar since IMO they're both nice guys who are reliable and fair. Sorry to the others who wanted to judge, but since the panel will increase with each round I don't want too many at the start. If you really want to judge you can always enter every round until you lose

Dementor - I think you're generally well-meaning but I'm gonna stick to my guns and keep the judging panel as it is. Like I say though, if you enter each round you will either win overall or become a judge anyway!

I'd also say that no price, at least monetary is required.

You could converse with some mods on the title award though. I'm fairly sure they'll be amiable as long as you can prove that this won't just be an another forum game. Just make this variable and fun for all participants and I see no reason why the mods wouldn't want to help you with this.

Thanks for the vote of support, Major Helper! Hopefully people will wish to participate wholeheartedly even without a monetary prize.

I have sent an email to a few mods just in case they're able to offer something by way of a prize. No promises though, so don't get your hopes up!
