Challenge #7 - Scramble Quiz
posted 5/5/08 at 7:19am

Welcome Thant and Waldheim to your next challenge. For this challenge, you are going to be answering a list of sixteen random questions. Below each question, I've given the number of the words (if it is more than one word long) and letters in the answer. I've done this because there is only one possible word that will make this challenge work. Next to that, there is a number. What you are to do with that is take the answer to the question and find that number of letter.

For example, if the answer is flat and the number is 2, you will take the letter L because L is the 2nd letter in flat.

Once you have collected all 16 letters, you will unscramble them to form a four word phrase related to the game.

For your submission, one person must send me a list of all the answers to each of the 16 questions and the correctly unscrambled phrase. The tribe that completes this task first or, if no tribe finishes, the tribe that has the most answers correct will win immunity. You have 24 hours to complete this challenge (and sorry for the late posting). Good luck.

(And Waldheim needs to sit one person out, which means that one person will not be allowed to help you find answers for this challenge.)

Well, I must say I was very impressed with how well you guys did with this challenge. If you were surprised by how close the last challenge was, you'll be more shocked here.

Both tribes managed to finish in well under two hours.
One tribe submitted at 9:54 AM.
One tribe submitted at 9:57 AM.
So the winning tribe won by only THREE MINUTES.

The winning tribe was...


THANT

Congratulations Thant on winning this challenge. As close as Waldheim came to winning, I'm still going to be seeing them at SC where one of them will be voted out of the United Nations. The rest of you though, head on back to camp.
