Greed - Game 11 Round 5! RedCoyote to decide!

ForWhomTheJellyRolls · Post Post #550 (ISO) » Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:41 am

I think you all understood what I meant but in the previous message, I previously stated "walk away or take the $100,000 buyout" When that should have said AND. The message above is edited to reflect the change. I still have not heard from everyone, but there are a few hours left to let me know. The default response I will attribute to any players I do not hear from in time is to not accept the buyout and continue on with the game.

Without further ado, let's get on with this game, shall we?

Which of these cities is serviced by one of the top five busiest airports in the world in 2013?

A. Amsterdam

B. Atlanta

C. Beijing

D. Chicago

E. Hong Kong
F. New York
G. Paris

H. Tokyo

Here is what we have so far, our four players know that Beijing, Chicago, and Tokyo, are all correct answers. How much did they want to bet that Atlanta was also correct? Is it worth passing up the cool $100,000 offered to them? Let's find out what our team decided! Did they take the

BUYOUT

or did they choose to

KEEP GOING

!

Players who have yet to do so have ~6 hours to PM me. Don't make me track you down! I want to hear from you rather than advance you by default. If anyone thinks the 24 hour deadlines imposed in this game for things like this are too short let me know. It is actually kind of arbitrary and designed to keep the game moving along but I don't actually think it is nessecary right now, after giving it some thought. I am going to extend the deadline to 48 hours from my previous post and I will default you to staying at that time if it gets there, but I can also (and would much rather) continue with this game when I receive submissions from everyone.

Once again the team was offered a buyout! This time it was worth $200,000 or $400,000 for CuddlyCacuasian. Who took the buyout? Who chose to keep going? Let's find out!

Given RedCoyote a good prodding. Hopefully we can get this going again shortly.

RedCoyote · Post Post #556 (ISO) » Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:46 pm

Sorry! Completely forgot. I'm going to take an obvious one, guys. I don't know too much about dogs. I know three of these for sure, and I know one of them that is probably incorrect... anyway,

C. German Shepherd

Are you still high on caffeine?

ForWhomTheJellyRolls · Post Post #561 (ISO) » Sun Mar 01, 2015 3:30 pm

That may very well be the case. Also, Poodle is a silly word.

Blackberry · Post Post #562 (ISO) » Sun Mar 01, 2015 5:39 pm

I'm really sorry, I have no clue when it comes to doggies.

E. Golden Retriever

Not quite as fun to say as Poodle. But is it a correct answer? Find out soon!

The studio lights shine brightly on the 4 remaining contestants. Excitement flows through the audience. They are beside themselves, mostly because they are sitting in rows next to each other, but they are also beside themselves with excitement. With anticipation. Whispers flow between the audience members. Are those answers correct? How does one determine how smart a dog is. Why does the devilishly handsome host keep saying "Poooooooooooodle?"

Contestants! You are moments away from finding out whether you are walking away with a cut of the $2,000,000 or walking away with nothing. All four answers must be correct. Are you ready?

I thought it was the Saint Bernard.

German Shepherd & Golden Retriever were the most obvious ones.

Plenty of time to get in on game 8! Go for it! Give it a shot! Do you have the need for greed? I know you do!

(expired on 2015-03-03 22:50:00) is the deadline for the qualifier.

so I had a huge book on dog breeds when I was younger and I would always read it for fun, and I'm really glad I was a weird kid now omgomgomgomgomgomg

I wonder if four decimal points is enough accuracy for this qualifier question

ForWhomTheJellyRolls · Post Post #572 (ISO) » Mon Mar 02, 2015 4:08 pm

I said about, which I realize is a whishy-washy term and one I should not have used. I meant to say rounded to the nearest millionth of a km, but I think that has been more or less understood by everyone. Your decimal points will not help or hurt you in this case. I do appreciate that you are challenging me to phrase my questions better.

I am looking for a whole number here, no decimal points required. And remember my question is asked in

millions

of kilometers, so you don't need to add extra zeroes to it.

Now I have already admitted I had worded this funny. But I don't think it affected the results. I am very pleased with the response I got this time. Some folks who have played before, and some folks who are haven't played before, maybe even haven't attempted the qualifier. We had 12 folks answer the qualifier this time! Thank you all for giving it your best shot! But only 5 of you will make it into game 8's team. So let's see who we have here?
