Posting ASAP -- a power blip nuked some the challenge materials I was working on.

It's no longer Sunday on the east coast....

I had to drive back to my apartment - sue me.

This challenege is very time unsensitive - so it doesn't matter.

Here's a nearly complete template -- I would have done the tedious work of adding in names, but that was whiped out and I'm not going through that again. Just print the template and write in the names by hand.

OK -- Across the top 8 boxes, here are the categories/labels:
First Four: UGA, Duke, VaTech, ND
Second Four: President's House, Dorms, Library, Stadium

OK -- Down the left 8 boxes, here are the categories/labels
First Four: Urination, Graffiti, Theft, Defacement
Second Four: President's House, Dorms, Library, Stadium

In case you haven't figured it out yet, it's a variation of those logic puzzles. You have to place a crime with a school... a crime with a location... a school with a location.

Rules:
You are playing as teams.
You must ask all your questions on this thread, in alternating turns.
All questions must be asked in the form of yes or no.
Failure to ask a question in proper yes/no format is a loss of turn.
No compound questions or other such trickeration with questions.
Teams have until 6:30 PM Eastern 2/20 to contact me via PM/IM with a representative to pick up their assigned combos.
I can answer for a team if I am around, but will only do so on the thread at my own discretion. Do not IM me asking for answers *unless the other team has taken awhile to answer*.
If it's obvious your team is stalling or failing to answer in a reasonable amount of time very frequently, I reserve the right to disqualify you.
First team to contact me gets to go first.

If you feel you have solved the puzzle, reply on this thread saying "Winning card pending approval" so the other team won't be waiting for an answer that won't come.

Send me the winning card via scan/document/whatever via email (gts <--at--> ncaabbs <--dot--> com). You must PM/IM me as well so I will know to check it. I will post in the thread confirming/rejecting the winning claim. Three false attempts to win will mean disqualification.

EDIT: Slight rule tweak, 1:08 AM Eastern 2/20

Was your crime committed at an ACC school?

Team Aaaaaaasia has 1 hour to claim their combo or forfeit.

blah Wrote:Was your crime committed at an ACC school?

No; And they have picked up their combo so this challenge is on.

So, have we started yet? Do we have to do all 4 school/crime/location combos, or does each team just have one?

Yes; each team has one.

Yes; each team has one.

Each team has a different 1 scenario, but our job is to figure out all 4 from you, or just what the other team has?

Also, the template didn't open right in my M$ Windows, I don't think? I just got 5 boxes total. Like this:

Yeah the template didn't work for me either.

Are we now waiting for the other team to start theirs?

The template should look like that, roughly, when PRINTED OUT. Some tables in that template files did not have borders.. .they were simply there so I could create the desired effects.

Each team has their own combo. It is your job, via alternating yes/no questions, to figure out what the other team's combo is.

come ON... certainly SOMEBODY has done one of these logic puzzles before?!

I want a pdf

Sure... I had a whole bunch on the LSAT a couple of weeks ago... but never in the survivor format!

I haven't heard from my team, but I'm going to ask a question anyway...

Team Batman: Was your crime committed in a place that would have a bed in it?

georgia_tech_swagger Wrote:come ON... certainly SOMEBODY has done one of these logic puzzles before?!

I have no idea what the hell we're doing. Someone want to explain?

Yes... praise jesus SOMEBODY has done one of these puzzles before.

And to be absolutely clear; yes is the answer to your question

Yes, see, this is part of the problem. Instead of relying on some mystical being to do the work - maybe you could give a longer explanation. I'm sitting here playing with my crap, because I'm scared I'm going to get voted off.
