rofl! good thing im taking calculus :3

Immunity is given by the person who picks it to any person he wants who is still in the round. It isn't devised through random.org...

Immunity is given by the person who picks it to any person he wants who is still in the round. It isn't devised through random.org...

Well, I changed it. I think I reformed the square at the beginning of Round 4 or something.

I'll be back with Hoohah2x2sday's minigames tomorrow... I keep procrastinating, but whatever.

[999_Springs]

Right, Hoohah2x2sday plays the first of his 3 minigames: Strike It Rich!

15 squares. Three BOMBs, three £500s, three £5000s, three £50000s, three £500000s. Pick squares from the board until you get a triple and its value will get added to your score. Simple enough, really.

Remember you've got an AV*6 and double deal so your final winnings will be multiplied by 12! So you could win up to £6 million here...

To speed things up, pick your squares 4 at a time, please.

[Hoohah2x2sday]

1 5 9 10..am i still immune?

[999_Springs]

am i still immune?

Unfortunately not. Immunity only applies to actual rounds, not minigames. Else the game "power of 10" would be ridiculous.







By the way, the "square that doesn't work" is the £5000. It hasn't been working for months because imageshack sucks and only works for about 95% of the squares uploaded. Don't blame me.

Pick four more squares...

[Hoohah2x2sday]

14, 8, 6, 12

[999_Springs]

So. That's it then, you've got £5000 for this minigame multiplied by 6 from your AVx and then double dealed which makes £60000, which actually doesn't make that much of a difference to your score...

I'll start your other minigames tomorrow...

[Pikman]

...wow.

Ye of many springs, would you like to play a round? You seem to have fallen a couple places with Hoohah's Robespierre-esque rule upon the board.

[999_Springs]

...wow.

Ye of many springs, would you like to play a round? You seem to have fallen a couple places with Hoohah's Robespierre-esque rule upon the board.

Yeah, I'm not sure 29403 would be up to the task of hosting, since his attempt at Round 7 ended up in total meltdown. But otherwise, I need to get my ranking back up.

*999_Springs makes a note to himself: Don't put the "miss all of your goes" square in the same board as "immunity".*

Anyway, Hoohah2x2sday now plays his minigame "Deal Or No Deal"...

*cue horrible music*

Welcome to the Deal Or No Deal studios! (Sponsored by Blobfish Inc.!)

"22 identical sealed boxes, a quarter of a million pounds, and no questions, except one... er... WHY ARE WE NOW SPONSORED BY BLOBFISH INC.!!?!?"

I presume you know the rules, blah blah blah... In case you still don't know, you can read them here if you scroll down to the bottom and ignore those horrid grammatical errors caused by "there/their" confliction.

Anyway, before we start, you have to confirm that you choose your box at random before the game begins. To do this you should click on the link below once:

http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&m ... ml&rnd=new

and post here the single number that you get...

Do that now...

[29403]

Well... I'm not busy these days... unlike at the times of Round 7.

[Pikman]

Well... I'm not busy these days... unlike at the times of Round 7.

Quiet, you. Use your time and upload some squares.

Zap.

EDIT: Could I possibly host?

[29403]

Oh zap yourself.

Come to think of it, I'll forget about it again.

[999_Springs]

Oh yeah, zap.

Ok, Pikman hosts Round 11. A warning: when you're hosting RTaB there are loads of fine details and things that you need to take note of. You'll probably come across them as the game progresses, but anyway.

Hoohah, still waiting for you to pick your box at random to start Deal Or No Deal, as in my previous post.

[Hoohah2x2sday]

ahhh sorry man i was extremely busy at home..i got number 12

[999_Springs]

Ooookaaay. Pick 14 boxes before your first offer that don't include your own box. Ignore the fact that all the studio audience have long since fallen asleep.

[Hoohah2x2sday]

rofl sorry :p

lets go with.. 24 23 22 20 18 16 14 11 10 8 6 4 2 and 1

EDIT: and by 24 and 23 i of course meant 21 and 19....of course...

[999_Springs]

"WELCOME to Deal Or No Deal! Sponsored by Blobfish Inc.! ... Last time UnknownKirbyMan left this place with what were then Ampersand's brains. What will this show bring for you this time...?

Well, there's the usual arrangement... There's me as host, and I'm actually THE BANKER! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm the only one who knows where the money is and I'm NOT letting you get to it!

I'll introduce you to the audience this time... There are 400 EXTRA BANKERS in the audience whose job is precisely to TORTURE you with their EVIL LAUGHTER... and they're on MY side!" Dunn-dunn-dunnnnn! (Suddenly the lights go off.)

*401 evil bankers all take out one of those laser pointers and laugh simultaneously while shining them at Hoohah*

"Can we get on with the show?" says Hoohah.

"Oh yeah, good point, that's what I'm paid to do..." says The Banker.

"Before you start will you please confirm that you chose box 12 at random before... OH WHAT THE *BEEP* I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO ... bleeurgh..."

21...
- Theh Banker groans. "If you find a lot more like this I'm going to get my new steel-reinforced broom cupboard out and attack you with it just like I did to UKM." Hoohah shudders.

19...
- The Banker starts his usual routine of stares at Hoohah.

22...
- "Seriously, I mean it."

20...
- "All right, THIS IS REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES..." - Hoohah thinks about mentioning how good a round he's had so far but retracts his thoughts when the Banker starts shouting "WHERE THE *BEEP* *BEEP* IS MY BROOM CUPBOARD!?"

18...
- A slight improvement, the Banker thinks to himself.

At this point, however, Hoohah watches in disbelief as The Banker goes to the edge of the studio and pulls a lever marked "Do not pull unless new steel-reinforced broom cupboard is needed". The immediate result is that one of the ceiling tiles dislodges and falls to the floor, creating a massive hole in the roof.

"Oh damn it's raining!" the Banker mutters to himself.

16...
- "What the hell? This show never receives enough funding. How am I supposed to host if I can't tell what the squares are!? Whose idea was this!?" The Banker silently curses under his breath. Someone from the audience mentions in passing that the unknown square is the £5000.

"Five thousand!? Oh, WHY DOES THIS BROOM CUPBOARD MECHANISM NEVER WORK WHEN I NEED IT!?"

14...
- The Banker starts one of those evil grins on his face, and starts staring at him in the same way as my Chemistry teacher does. Hoohah is somewhat quite disturbed but doesn't say anything.

11...
- "RIGHT, THAT'S IT!!" - The Banker at this point loses all sense of self-control and forcefully yanks the "Do not pull" lever with a frenzied look on his face. Theceiling starts cracking and for a moment Hoohah starts getting worried about the roof caving in - but then an ENORMOUS STEEL DOUBLE-LOCKED BROOM CUPBOARD suddenly falls from the ceiling through the hole. CLUNK!!! Right onto Hoohah's feet. "OOOOOOOOOOOWWW!!"

*Use your imagination to fill in the details of the next two minutes*

10...
- The Banker isn't sure whether that was good or bad for him. So he starts tapping his fingers on the table and practises his stares again at Hoohah.

8...
- The Banker suddenly begins to increase the tension of his stares, and starts spookily following Hoohah around the room without actually saying anything. The audience have started to get bored again and take out their laser pointers.

6...
- "GRRRRRRROWRRR!!" - In desperation the Banker starts growling like a crocodile. He slams open the door of his broom cupboard in frustration and finds it full of ugly blobfish much to his annoyance. The blobfish ooze their way out of the cupboard onto the floor of the studios. "WHERE THE HELL IS MY BROOM!?"

4...
- The Banker is now actually classified as insane at this point. He finally finds the end of a broom amongst the massive pile of blobfish and tries to beat up Hoohah at this point but fails because they're chasing each other round and round the broom cupboard. Hoohah picks up the blobfish on the floor and chucks them at The Banker which only increases his anger even more.

2...
- At this point The Banker's behaviour is now beyond all realms of human comprehension. He tries to pick up the broom cupboard itself to throw it onto Hoohah. Unfortunately he slips on one of the blobfish covering the floor and WHAM!! the open cupboard collapses on top of him with him stuck inside underneath it. Hoohah tries to laugh but is in fact too disturbed by the situation.

1...
- The Banker emerges from the cupboard to see that one of the Power 5 has gone and tries to smile after his broom cupboard ordeal. He throws a blobfish at Hoohah and misses him.

...

"Beh-ding ding ding ding dididing ding bing bing pscht
Dorhrm bom bom bedom bem bom bedom bom bum ba ba bom bom
Bouuuuum bom bom bedahm, Bom be barbedarm bedabedabedabeda
Bbrrrrrimm bbrrrrramm bbbrrrrrrrrraammmmm ddddddraammm
Bah bah baah baah ba wheeeeeee-eeeee-eeeee!"

The Banker picks up the phone. "Who is it?... ... No it was NOT me who farted in the lift! That was obviously YOU, so SHUT UP! ... ... Mm-hmm? ... Yeah... ... These blobfish are really annoying me now... ... I mean, you don't want to know what happened. Well - ... ... ...

... What? ... Erm, no, that's ridiculous... ... Oh just shut up! ... ... Really, I mean it!! ...

... Right. I have no idea who the hell you are but I can safely guess that you're one of those WEIRDOS who TAKE THEIR SANDWICHES APART AND EAT EACH INGREDIENT SEPARATELY!! So just get off the phone right now and stop bothering me!"

The Banker slams the phone down. "RIGHT, YOU! Listen! You've bothered be enought already with those ridiculous box-picking things of yours. You've somehow managed to keep those three annoying big ones in play at 8-box you *BEEP*. Right. Twenty-six thousand pounds is your offer. If you don't take it you'll totally crash in the next round and you'll get laughed at SO MUCH you won't want to see this place again.

Remember you've got that ridiculous double deal and AV*6 which means your winnings will be multiplied by 12.

Right.

£26,000. Deal Or No Deal?"

(If you don't deal then pick your next 3 boxes.)

[Hoohah2x2sday]

HAHAHAHA ive been cracking up for a good ten minutes ^_^

I'm gonna go ahead and stay with the 26,000 just to be safe. Besides, its multiplied by 12 :3

___

"DEAL!" shouts Hooha while massaging his swolen toes.

[999_Springs]

DEAL!!!

*Cue theme tune music*

Now let's see what was in all the other boxes...

3 -
5 -
7 -
9 -
13 -
15 -
17 -

so... what was in your own box?

Box 12 contained...






"DAMN YOU!!" growls the Banker. "You did that 'Beat The Banker' thing on me! AGAIN!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!!?!? Why is it that I never EVER WIN!!??" At this point he has somehow incited the annoyance of ALL the other 400 bankers in the studio. "GET HIM!" shouts the Banker. Two seconds later Hoohah finds himself trying to flee 401 angry bankers but he can't because his toes hurt. One of the bankers flicks the light switch again. The light goes out.

Later, Hoohah wakes up and finds himself in a steel cupboard in the back of a moving lorry surrounded by several blobfish and a very soggy cheque for £312,000. He looks out of the window. He notices that the lorry has no driver and is driving itself. He has no idea where he is or where he is going.

Hoohah2x2sday now plays CALCULUS!!!

Right, here's your question. You have three days to give me an answer and you've got to tell me whether you want it in Zap mode or No-Zap mode.

Zap mode: If you can actually work it out then pick this. You get £2.5 million if you get it right and nothing if you get it wrong.

No-Zap mode: If you have no idea how to work this one out then pick this. You get £500,000 if you get it right and you lose £10,000 for every 1% of the answer you're out by, with a minimum of £0.

Here's your question. Good luck... (but not too much!)!

Question:

Hoohah2x2sday is really bad at DIY. I mean, really, really, REALLY bad. One day he is particularly clumsy and gets a drill bit and somehow manages to drill a round hole in his face that goes all the way straight through the middle of his spherical head and comes out of the other side. The hole is 20cm long and it removes 15 per cent of the total volume of his head. What volume of his head remains afterwards?

Be careful: the hole is 20cm long, not your face.

[Hoohah2x2sday]

Haha liking the narrative :p okay, so when you say "long" do you mean the diameter of the hole is 20cm?

EDIT: that means the height of the cylinder carved out is 20cm doesn't it..?

[Hoohah2x2sday]

Alright if I read this right.....the volume of my head is (i think) 33510.32164 cm^3. Taking away 15% of that I get that the volume of the bloody mess left after this drilling incident is...
...
...
...
...

28483.77339 cm^3 !!?

AMIRIGHT!? AMIRIGHT!?

Oh, and I think I'll go with Zap mode, just to be crazy like that ;) I hope I'm reading this question right.

[999_Springs]

Um, ok. 28483.77339 cm^3 !!? You must have a MASSIVE head. Seriously.

And... that ends Round 10!

Pikman hosts Round 11 - but before you start I have to send you a bunch of stuff by PM. I'll do that tomorrow.

[Hoohah2x2sday]

Ahaha maybe I do have a big head!

LET ROUND 11 COMMENCE!!

Well, as I said before, Pikman's hosting this round... so I'll just set it up and let him take over. Of course Zapmeister is automatically in Round 11. Hoohah2x2sday and EdoI are also in because they won Round 10. UKM is in because he says he's rejoining.

Pikman the host places the blammo since he was the last to get eliminated from the round.
