It's 11:01, so that means time's up!

First of all, let's see what each group's Task was.

Congratulations, Tone Deaf players. You have the musical task. Good job you.

At 9pm eastern time tomorrow, I will send you the link to a mash-up. Your group's goal is to identify the artists and songs featured in this mash-up. To identify a song or artist, write it in this Google Doc. If you cannot access it, let me know.

You will only have a limited amount of time to complete this task. For every song or artist you correctly identify, you will earn $250. You will lose money for any incorrect identifications, including misspellings or incorrect names.

You may not use ANY resources to identify the songs or artists, so no YouTube, Wikipedia or Google, just your ears.

You may communicate as you wish among your group.

Players, your job is crucial to this task. You will be deciding how much time the other group has to complete their task.

At 9pm eastern time tomorrow, the thread will be unlocked. Once every hour on the hour, one member of your group must post a YouTube video, using the YouTube tags, of a song. Every hour that you successfully complete this, the task will continue. Should you miss an hour, the time will end and the task will be over.

The songs post must follow the following criteria:

1. No song posted may have been released prior to the previous song posted. I don't care when the YouTube video was posted, I care about when the song was actually released.
   
2. A song must be posted on the hour, every hour.
   
3. You may not post more than one song by the same musical artist.
   
4. Your post may not include anything other than the YouTube video or the time will end.
   
5. I may add more restrictions as the challenge continues.

You may communicate among your group as you wish.

This is the mashup the tone-deaf players had to puzzle out. The artists and songs included are as follows:

Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
Will.I.Am. feat. Justin Bieber - # thatpower

Kanye West - Stronger

Daft Punk - One More Time
Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger
Snap! - The Power
Marina & The Diamonds - Power and Control
Katy Perry - Wide Awake
Knife Party - Power Glove
Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger
C&C Music Factory - Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)

There was some discussion about two of the songs because they are functionally the same and I did not notice this until it was pointed out to me, so for the purposes of this Task there are 11 possible songs and artists that can be used to earn money.

This is the Google Doc that was used to discuss the Task and submit the answers.

As scored on the Doc, the group got a total of 10 correct answers, for a total earning of $2,500, bringing the total pot up to $14,700.

You may now communicate with all players again. Tomorrow night, I will post your second Quiz. I recommend you take this time to get information from the other players.

Just missed Knife Party & Swedish House Mafia. Fine by me.

Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound

Interesting. Very interesting. The person who denied this band (no idea of the song name) when I suggested it can go fuck themselves.

[Colin Tracey]

Fixing an error pointed out to me, you didn't put Harder Better Faster Stronger down so you can have credit for Kanye. +$500 for the pot.

[pickemgenius]

OMG I SAID I WAS GONNA BE LOLING FOR AWHILE.

CURSE YOU FUCKS.

[SleepyKrew]

[JasonWazza]

Pickem was supposed to have the first 4-5 hours, after that it was fuzzy.

[pickemgenius]

[JasonWazza]

Quiz 2

Players, it is now time for your second Quiz.

In order to begin the quiz, you will use this form. You will enter your name and passcode. When you submit this information, your clock will begin and you will be given the link to the full quiz.

When you access the Quiz, you will again be prompted to enter your name and passcode. In addition, you will have the opportunity to use Jokers on this screen. Afterwards, you will be shown the 20 questions to be answered. You may move forwards and backwards through the Quiz as you please. When you are done, simple click "submit" and your Quiz will be scored privately.

You may privately communicate with other players until you begin the Quiz, then all communication MUST cease until Termination results are announced. If you encounter technical errors, please complete the Quiz as best you can and contact me as soon as possible. If you have an Exemption for this Quiz, you are not required to take it, but you may if you like. Your score will not count if you do so.

You will have

48 hours

to complete this Quiz. If you have any questions, let me know.

Termination 2

Welcome, players, to your second Termination. One by one, I will enter your names into the computer. If a green thumbprint appears, you are safe. If a red thumbprint appears, however, you are the Mole's second victim.

Shall we begin?

(I recommend watching the video in fullscreen so you don't have the progress bar at the bottom of the screen)

[Colin Tracey]

You may no longer communicate with the terminated player.

For your next Task, please divide yourselves into four pairs.

[JasonWazza]

My name might have been second, but for some reason whenever i see my name (even with the progress bar) i get the distinct feeling that i am going to be gone.
