The Weakest Link (Round 1)
« on: May 09, 2001, 04:21:28 PM »
Here are your 3 questions. You have 24 hours. 2 rules have been added.

(h) No giving answers if you are not a contestant. No hinting either... this is a test of their knowledge not yours.

(i) Most answers are based on opinion and creativity.  Remember some answers may not have a right or wrong answer, this helps us voters determine who goes onto the next round(and who doesn\'t).  So please, BE ORIGINAL.

1st 3 Questions.

(1)If you could change one thing about the PS2 Launch date, what would it be?
(2)What is another name for an i.link cable?
(3) Riddle:A woman has two rugs of the same material, one 10 feet by 10 feet and one a long runner 8 feet by 1 foot. How can she make a single continuous cut in the 10 foot by 10 foot rug, so as to form two pieces which, when combined with the 8 foot by 1 foot rug can be stitched into a rug 9 feet by 12 feet? The two rugs are of plain pattern and have a pile on one side only.

2. i.link aka Firewire.  (already answered by Solid Snake 88:()

3.  I will use x (and s for the cut piece) to make the 10x10 one, and kto make the 8x1 one (I\'m first to get this one though!):

1.  I would change the date itself, so we would all be able to enjoy the thing for a longer time.........yeah i hear you guys think, whoopdeedoo the thing is already launched, but what I mean is back then we would all be playing sooner.....so there
2.   firewire
3.   I was gonna post the same thing as fatalXception, but since he already did, I\'ll just refer to his answer,
I know I could have made my own answer, but since I know his is the right it would be stupid not to post the same

1) made the day sooner, lowered the price, more game at release date, come with memory card, and be delivered to your door would of be nice

2) firewall

3)its hard to explain it but fatalxception has already described it with a pic, so i wont as it will just be like im coping, but there is more to say after he has put that up.

Ok, this round didn\'t go as well as I planned.  The next riddle will be more of a thinking problem, no more of this "what he said" crap.  But, I am not the one who decides who makes it to the next round.  I really don\'t care if you give an answer or not, it\'s your own chances your hurting.  FackinKubuss, it\'ll be just like I said, you will remain in the vote, and if your lucky you will get voted off.  This post is also a 1 hour warning to all other contestants.

  • Move it back!  Might as well.  Too many people have too many problems.  There\'s still not a whole lot of good games for it.  And now this whole GT3 controversy comes up w/problems on the Japanese PS2.  So push it back and come out with a better machine, a better game lineup, and A LONGER WARRANTY FOR THE UNITED STATES!
  • ILINK = aka Firewire: super-fast data throughput for video-editing and CD-burning.  Something that we may never see used on the PS2.  We didn\'t get Linux either.
  • Uh, yeah the rug thing.  OK there\'s these 2 rugs and you cut one of em and then go rape a donkey.

If you really want a good way to do this game, and avoid repeated answers, simply have the 5-10 contestants pm you the answers as they have them, then you post them at the "times up" point.
