Challenge #1 discussion

[Frank]

So to everyone's surprise it is a puzzle.

I stole one from somewhere so you can practice it if you so desire

[Erica]

Can we change the equation and make it a counting challenge?

[Brenda]

Change [the] equation

[Brenda]

Quick phoned-in history lesson. I'll be back to the board properly in about 15 mins. In Costa Rica both tribes fucked up the "group" puzzle by putting weaker people in key roles (or together lol). In fact both Gregg & John are playing so that bodes well for us.

Anyway, my point is. Who is good at image puzzles, and who isn't? So we don't make the same fuck-up.

For my own part, I'm pretty damn good but not quite top-tier.

[Teresa]

My laptop is being a bitch right now and I'm much faster on that but I'm not too bad on a desktop.

[Frank]

in Costa Rica it was done in pairs wasn't it?

This challenge is right up my alley so whoever feels like its not their thing can pair up with me or Brenda or other people who say they can do it.

But if it's not in pairs then it's pretty much a free-for-all, who finishes first posts it for the group thing.

[Brenda]

Purple pride on that lurker bar, although maybe they're all just hovering round their own beaches for now.

[Gina]

Last time I played I was pretty MOR on this challenge. I think it was just due to jitters and I feel as though I'm better now, but if it's partners I wouldn't mind being teamed up with someone 'good'.

Do we know if everyone is gonna be here for the challenge?

[Frank]

I think everyone is online from us and that's pretty amazing

[Erica]

I'm not good at these challenges.

[Erica]

Oh and I also won't have a mouse until monday so my speed will be reduced too. Just a Public Service Announcement

[Frank]

So 4 pairs of two people, Jeff just posted it.

I'll take Erica since she says she has problems with this type of challenge.

So

1. Frank & Erica
2.
3.
4.

Pair up.

[Gina]

So here's how this challenge will work. Unless you have a question about how it works, do not respond to this thread. Only the leaders may respond.

This challenge is comprised of 4 mini-puzzles that combine to make one giant puzzle. You will each pick 4 pairs of 2 that will each complete one of the mini puzzles. The mini puzzles are 4x4. Then the leader will solve the main puzzle by unscrambling the 4 mini puzzles in a 2x2 completed form.

Each pair will be sequestered in a private forum with their puzzle. When they have completed it they can post the completed puzzle for the entire tribe to see.

The leader of each tribe will post the completed puzzle here. The winner is immune from Tribal Council. The TWO losing tribes will both go to Tribal Council tonight where two people will be voted off and become the first players voted off of Stranded with Legends.

[Ami]

Oh man, this challenge brings back glorious memories

This was a challenge that I excelled at in CR, so hopefully I can pull this out like I did then. Who wants to be my partner?

[Katie]

Yeah, im on a shitty laptop that makes this type of challenge difficult for me. Ill be with Brenda if thats ok?

[Gina]

I'll work with you, Ami.

[Frank]

1. Frank & Erica
2. Brenda & Katie
3. Gina & Ami
4. Teresa & Taj

Everyone ok with these pairs?

[Katie]

Looks good.

[Brenda]

Works for me.

Ew @ double boot though :/

[Teresa]

Sounds perfect and yeah, wtf at the double boot.

[Ami]

I assumed Poody would have made the first boot the lone boot, so they have the distinction of being the first casualty from the game

[Brenda]

I think this entire post was just fucking with us;

Please remember that following tonight's challenge will be a Tribal Council, where hte first person will be voted off of Stranded with Legends.

[Frank]

Oh silly silly old Jeffrey.

[Taj]

Definitely okay with these pairs

Double boot already, though? UGH

[Brenda]

I guess it depends on how legible the puzzle is, but probably a good idea to work in rows. So like, you start with the bottom row and work up Katie. I'll start with the top row and work downwards. We post each row as completed and it'll make joining it up into a 4x4 quicker?
