As everyone exits their pods, they notice that they are no longer in a studio. They are on a small desert island. In front of them is a TV with a button on the front. One of the contestants presses it.
The TV turns on and you see GreenLiquid.
"Greetings. If you are watching this, you have successfully entered challenge four. You all will notice that a shovel and a piece of paper are located in the small compartment located in the back of your pods. Take them both.
Located on this island is a treasure chest. You'll notice, later on in this explaination, a map of the island, divided into coordinates. Each person's piece of paper contains two instructions to get the treasure. But, two instructions (they are the same person's) are actually false and are not relevant to finding the treasure. Here is an example:
First, note the squares with red outlines. Those are the starting spots. You begin facing the direction the arrow is pointing. Which one is correct to use, however, you don't know. Also, the brown squares will never contain the treasure, although you might go over them on the way there. One more thing: if the instructions say to turn left or right, you turn 90 degrees in that direction. If it says 'turn around,' it means you turn 180 degrees.
A sample solution might be:
1) Take 3 steps
2) Turn Left
3) Take 5 steps
4) Turn Right
5) Take 2 steps
6) Turn Around
7) Take 3 steps
8) Take 1 step
There would be 2 false instructions belonging to the the same player, like:
9) Turn Right
10) Take 6 steps
Note that in the order, any two adjacent instructions (like 3 & 4) will belong to the same player. Use that to your advantage.
And note that those instructions would NOT work for the upper left starting point, so the treasure must be at G3.
One more thing: revealing. You may reveal both your hints at any time by saying "REVEAL:" in bold. Then, say the instruction exactly how it is written in your PM. You are not permitted to lie. When you reveal, choose to go 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. If you want to go 4th or 5th, don't reveal yet. This is important because of this: if you choose to go first, second, or third, you'll only have 3 pieces of info, but will have the advantage of going earlier. If you go 4th or 5th, you'll have your piece of info plus the first three. After all have gone once, 4th and 5th publicly reveal their hints. Then, guessing continues starting with the 1st player until someone gets it right. 1st person to get it right wins, and once someone has won twice they win the challenge. If you do not understand this system, ask me."
And so, the TV blows up and you all rush back to get your equipment and clues... clues are now going out.Avatar courtesy of Chickadee! | GTKAL-

You start out at one of the points and follow the directions, and end up at a tile. That tile is where it is.I may not understand this system. Basically, we all have our messages, and we have to take those sets of instructions and put them in some order to get... where exactly? how do we know where the treasure is?Avatar courtesy of Chickadee! | GTKAL-

Sorry everyone, I'll be out of town all summer, and will have internet access at most once a week, if even that. If you need to replace me, go ahead. Otherwise, I'll try to check as often as possible.Come play Metroplexity! Come play Unangband!-
