Vote.Weakest Link(Round 6) ends Tues.
« on: June 10, 2001, 05:09:52 PM »
Yes, I am still here, luckily I haven\'t forgotton.  Anyway sorry for the delay, but as they say, the show must go on!

Got two responses:

Weltall\'s:

The salesman had seven eggs.

The salesman started with seven eggs. The first customer wanted half of all his eggs and half an egg more. Half of seven is 3.5 and another half an egg would mean that the salesman sold him four eggs and had three remaining. The next customer wanted half of all his eggs and half an egg more. Half of three is 1.5 and another half an egg would mean that the salesman sold this man two eggs, leaving him with one egg. The last customer wanted half of all his eggs and another half egg extra. Half of one is 0.5 and another half an egg would mean the customer bought one egg, and the salesman now has no eggs and did not have to break any eggs, as he sold four eggs to the first man, two eggs to the second, and one egg to the last.

Great riddle. Bad business practice

7/2 = 3.5 - 0.5 = 3

3/2 = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1

1/2 = 0.5 - 0.5 = 0

woohoo! Who\'s for omelets?

FatalXception:

Workin\' it mathematically.
3rd took: 1 egg. (.5-.5)
2nd took: 2 eggs. (3-1.5-.5)
1st took: 4 eggs. (7-3.5-.5)

So there were 7 eggs at the start of the day.

Both answers were correct, just to be fair, from now on, players who submit answers cannot be voted off unless all players submit answers.  All votes to these players will be disregarded, however they will be shown on the list to let people know they are still there.

Also, rounds will move much quicker now.

And with that post, you have sealed my fate.

I would be very surprised if someone else, besides me,  was voted off after "The One\'s" subliminal suggestion. ;)

Bumpity bump bump... bump bump

Hmmm... statisticly Gohan and Kopking are tied for being the weakest link... meaning if someone doesn\'t break the tie, they will both be eliminated and we will skip a round.

theres 3 all on 2 votes so that means we all go out then, only two left now, so it should be best of five between them both.

I can\'t believe the two people who answered have 3 votes between em, and faithdies (who didn\'t answer) has 0.  Doesn\'t anybody ever read the whole thread?  Weltall and I are immune from votes because we answered, and there were no-shows.

Next time we hold another 10 round game like this (hint hint \'the one\'), you should have that rule in place from the start, so people like gohan don\'t (it was gohan, right?) get voted off while no-shows like pheonix last a few rounds.

By the way, I call being a player in the next game ;)
