Survivor FOFC: Challenge-tug of war - Page 9

Blade · 03-06-2003, 04:58 PM

Are PM's allowed if they do not contain the answer in any way? Or no collaboration at all?

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 05:00 PM

Not if they direct him to where he might find an answer. But general strategy discussions are allowed, I believe.

Blade · 03-06-2003, 05:01 PM

Ok, cool. So long as I do not direct anyone for where to find a correct answer or hint at the correct answer, I am good then?

Radii · 03-06-2003, 05:02 PM

Marmel and I had our general discussion strategy in the middle of this thread earlier! Wusses PM'ing each other

(Note: I don't see why it would be a problem, the one time stkelly said it mattered he explicitly stated any strategizing must take place in public, I'm just giving you guys shit)

Blade · 03-06-2003, 05:04 PM

Ok, cool...

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 05:04 PM

You're good to go.

stkelly52 · 03-06-2003, 05:07 PM

I guess I don't see problems with stratagizing with PMs

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 05:08 PM

I would say relaying prior knowledge of what your question is going to be would be illegal to. For instance, If I pm'd Kodos and said, I am going to ask Who the Giant's QB is, in exactly 10 seconds, that would be an unfair advantage.

John Galt · 03-06-2003, 05:09 PM

Is the answer C:\windows\biteme?

stkelly52 · 03-06-2003, 05:11 PM

Good point

You shouldn't be talking about what your question will be

stkelly52 · 03-06-2003, 05:13 PM

If you are using the PM to get someone's attention and basically say "help me out here" or let them know you are leaving and they should ask a tough question, or that you are there and they should ask an easy question, that I haved no problem with.

Radii · 03-06-2003, 05:16 PM

I think the DH's should PM each other and say "lets give it up guys, those Dola's are just too tough for us" =D

stkelly52 · 03-06-2003, 05:18 PM

well there is 4 more hours, anything can happen

stkelly52 · 03-06-2003, 05:19 PM

time check

stkelly52 · 03-06-2003, 05:21 PM

10 minutes since john answered, so he is declared correct.

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 05:23 PM

Wait a second. Doesn't that rule only apply for players on opposing teams? Otherwise, just have your teammate answer, never say if it's wrong, and take your point...

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 05:24 PM

Yeah! What Kodos said!

John Galt · 03-06-2003, 05:35 PM

Rules are rules.

What movie is the character Lester Burnham from?

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 05:36 PM

Jurassic Park.

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 05:37 PM

American Beauty.

stkelly52 · 03-06-2003, 05:38 PM

I hadn't really thought about it that way, but technically it is a stratagy that would work...but I don't like it.

I will give DH the point this time but from here on you can only get the point that way if your teammate who answered the question is no longer listed in "who's online"

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 05:40 PM

People can just use the Hide from Who's Online feature then.

Blade · 03-06-2003, 05:47 PM

Sorry guys, didn't mean to start something...I had to drive home from work, and I didn't want to give up a point if a Dola answered and I could not say no to it.

stkelly52 · 03-06-2003, 05:48 PM

You are no longer allowed to use the stratagy where you just don't tell people if they are correct or not so that your team gets the point for an incorrect answer. I trust your own honisty to police it, as I so for PMs

Swaggs · 03-06-2003, 05:49 PM

I had a feeling that the short-lived DH lead would fade once Kodos and Marmel got on at the same time.

Swaggs · 03-06-2003, 05:51 PM

whose question is it right now, anyway?

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 05:55 PM

Actually, I have had little to do with it.

However, by the ten minute rule and by the fact my answer is right, we are up 39-20, I believe.

stkelly52 · 03-06-2003, 05:55 PM

Kodos answered John Galt's. 10 minutes have more than past making Kodos correct

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 06:03 PM

What High School did ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit attend?

McSweeny · 03-06-2003, 06:07 PM

Centerville HS

Blade · 03-06-2003, 06:08 PM

Centerville?

Blade · 03-06-2003, 06:08 PM

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 06:08 PM

McSweeny · 03-06-2003, 06:14 PM

what is the derivitive of the natural log of the absolute value of x?

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 06:17 PM

xn = n x(n-1)

McSweeny · 03-06-2003, 06:17 PM

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 06:23 PM

I got my all-time lowest grade in Calculus.

Swaggs · 03-06-2003, 06:24 PM

does it taste like chicken?

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 06:24 PM

McSweeny · 03-06-2003, 06:25 PM

nope and nope again

Swaggs · 03-06-2003, 06:26 PM

Swaggs · 03-06-2003, 06:27 PM

I just made that up--I cut my losses and stopped w/ Pre-Cal.

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 06:28 PM

Swaggs · 03-06-2003, 06:30 PM

d u(1 in exponent) d
--ln|u|= -- = -- ln(u)
dx u dx

*I don't know how to type an exponent.

McSweeny · 03-06-2003, 06:30 PM

sorry guys, wrong-o

Swaggs · 03-06-2003, 06:32 PM

Swaggs · 03-06-2003, 06:33 PM

that formatted better.

Probably still wrong, though...

McSweeny · 03-06-2003, 06:35 PM

correct swaggs!

Radii · 03-06-2003, 06:53 PM

Swaggs had 15 minutes to ask a question after McSweeny validated his answer, it's been 17 :~)

Who is the only coach ever to win 100 games with 4 different schools in Division 1 college basketball?

41-21 dolas I believe

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 06:55 PM

Rick Pitino? Just guessing here.
