I'll try and get the task done for tonight.

[Jake.]

So do I take part in this?

[DrunkerThanMoses]

The person who does best wins information on who the killer is so if your the killer you might want to win to make sure no one else does.. not accusing you or anything.

[Jake.]

Of course you aren't Jon...

[Shaun]

Yeah that ^

also it's a bit-by-bit task that'll require 3 or so posters at a time

[Marc]

Can you reveal more without spoiling it? We could possibly work out a system

[Shaun]

no bye

Task 7: Lockdown

Inmates, only seven of you remain and the prison is now in lockdown. What better way to celebrate that than with a task that requires you to unlock everything?

Over the course of the next 24 hours, 15 padlocks will be posted. They each have different unlock-codes and will be accompanied with a mathematical problem that requires solving, much like the one you took part in to become team leader.

Now, whilst Jon is automatically immune from this task, so there's no real need to pass it, he may decide to make his Isolation decision based on who contributes the most to it. And, as an extra incentive, the 3 members who help with the first lock will receive a lovely reward...

That may all sound simple, but there's a requirement of you solving the puzzles. You can't just rely on the laurels of one member: each lock is split into 3 letters: A, B and C. You must decide between you which three members post a number. FOR EXAMPLE:

If the answer is '369', the number A would be 3, B would be 6 and C would be 9. It doesn't matter which member posts which number, but I do need 3 separate members.

You have an hour to complete each padlock from when it's posted, and to pass the task you must solve 12 out of 15 of them. Good luck! I'll post the first one when the X Factor final's done. Prepare until then

[Drew.]

might take me a while to understand this

[Jake.]

Idgi

[Drew.]

C

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I think I understand it. Can we maybe do a practice one to fully understand what we have to do?

[Jake.]

So confused

[Marc]

I'll be a letter

[Shaun]

Basically - you know what you all did to become team leader before this was posted? The maths equation with the Bianca address and the Marc number and the song-length of a rolling stones song... I'm going to give you 15 more of those. And you'll have an hour to work it out and get three of you to post separate parts of the answer: digit A, digit B and digit C

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I think Shaun will post a mathematics problem for us to solve

e.g. number of players left in cold blood times 100 which the answer would be 700

then 3 members have to post one number

so Jake would post 7, drew would post 0 and annie will post 0

I think thats what the task is anyway

Right okay

[Drew.]

oh god

[AnnieK]

Got it...

[Niamh.]

I'm here

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Is the x factor finished yet?

[Marc]

No half past

[Shaun]

Nah sorry, but since you have an hour and it only requires a quick post, I'll post the first one and update the thread title so people see.

[Niamh.]

yay
