Total Drama World Tour (The Finals)

[JDGA]

Correct
Your advantage is not being mocked by me.

[cjdrum]

Yay! Can I choose who you mock most?

PM incoming if you say yes

[JDGA]

Go for it
Oh, and assuming you didn't just Google the quote, that damn Alchemist mission where it comes from is still one of the more frustrating ones in the game. Especially since it doesn't heal you between attempts v_v ESPECIALLY since he doesn't take a direct route for some ridiculous reason.

[cjdrum]

^ Trudat.

In most games I've played, there's been at least one "mission" where at the end your mentor-y thing is just like "Yeah I took the straight and easy route. Good job with the windy one though." - and this was the worst for that.


EDIT: Upon Googling, I can't find it anyway

[JDGA]

You could have stuck it in quote marks XD
Eh, hardest for me is still the "Grab 15 sparkly things inside a volcano before Hunter does," though.
PS: First one (other than cjdrum) to figure out who cjdrum told me to mock gets a REAL advantage for the challenge after this.
*has been in logistical contact with Xalxe*

[cjdrum]

I gave a list, by the way. It might help to determine the

least

mocked people first

BREAKING NEWS

A player that you bastards helped vote off is returning for revenge! Yay!

All the eliminated players that wanted to, plus Blaineley (JDGA, surprise!) competed in a brainteaser competition. The one who got the most points would return to the game. The questions are below with the answers spoilered (in case you wanna do them yourself).

I would also point out that all of these are "lateral thinking" puzzles designed to trick you. Some of the answers are straightforward, others are smartass answers. Give it your best shot!

1. Lindsay was vacationing abroad alone on her yacht when she fell overboard. She was a non-swimmer and had nothing to keep her afloat, yet she was rescued a half an hour later. How did she not drown? (2 points)

Spoiler:

She was in the Dead Sea, where the salt concentration is so dense that she couldn't drown if she tried!

2. A Pittsburgh company ordered some goods from a European company. The American firm was very precise in stating the dates on which it wanted the deliveries to occur. However, the European company, which generally had a high reputation for accuracy, missed every delivery date by at least one month. Some were very early, and others were very late. Why? (2 points)

Spoiler:

Europeans and Americans swap the positions of the date and month, so 5/11/11 is May 11 in America, and November 5th in Europe. Silly Europeans!

3. A particular person born in January 1978 has a unique distinction. What is it? (4 points)

Spoiler:

He was born in Antarctica, therefore making him the only person known to be the first born on a continent.

4. In the early days of exploration in America, a group of explorers came to a deep, wide river. There was no bridge, and they had no boats or material to make boats. They could not swim. How did they get across? (3 points)

Spoiler:

The river was frozen, so they walked across.

5. DJ gets a new job in Paris as a quatorzieme. He sits in his place of work in the evening. Sometimes he is called to work, but most evenings he is not. What does he do? (3 points)

Spoiler:

A quatorzieme is a fourteenth guest. DJ sits in the restaurant all day in case a party of thirteen comes in. 13 is unlucky in France, so DJ joins them to make 14.

6. An old man, Heather’s grandfather, was poisoned. The police found that he had eaten and drunk nothing on the day of his death. How had the poison been administered? (3 points)

Spoiler:

Heather put the poison on his false teeth, the dirty trickster.

7. Izzy is an executive who was based in New York but was sent to Hong Kong on an assignment. When she was due to return, she faxed her manager the following request: “Is it OK for me to transport back to New York, at the company’s expense, my personal items, household effect, and junk?” She was given approval and did so.
A furious argument ensued. The company refused to pay the transportation charge and, in the end, Izzy had to sue the company. She won, but that is not the issue. The question is: What was the cause of the argument? (2 points)

Spoiler:

A junk is a boat. The company refused to pay to ship it home.

8. At a party Gwen and Courtney became engaged in a violent quarrel. Gwen pulled a gun and, in plain view of many witnesses, shot Courtney dead. The police were called. They questioned Gwen and the witnesses. They decided that it was a case of murder, yet they pressed no charge against Gwen. Why not? (4 points)

Spoiler:

Courtney and Gwen were actresses, but somebody replaced the fake bullets with real ones. Thus, while Gwen pulled the trigger, somebody else was blamed.

9. Japanese office workers strive to be very polite. One was killed because he was too polite. How? (3 points)

Spoiler:

He bowed to a senior executive and got his head caught in an elevator door.

10. What is peculiar about the number 8549176320? (4 points)

Spoiler:

The digits are arranged in alphabetical order.

And as a result...

Spoiler:

Tyler has rejoined the game!

[Tragedy]

Ooooh! Regfan is back for some revenge.
