I've encountered a small glitch in part of the challenge. When you get to the EIGHTH lap of the "Go Fish For Parodies" leg of the challenge, you are meant to total the word counts for the parody and the original in question. Then, you multiply that number by 27 and put it into the URL provided in the instructions. However, somehow I think I must have misread the numbers on my calculator. Anyway, when you get this number, you will need to subtract 8 to get the number that works in the URL.

Hmm......

Driew I would LOVE for you to try to design a challenge as complex as this one without a minor glitch.

Besides, wasn't Driew supposed to be checking it to make sure there weren't any mistakes?

I'm just playing Jeremy, I thought Dingo was going to point out that you even said that there was NO glitches in this upcoming challenge. Besides I (we) did design a very simple challenge and look at how many glitches WE had!

No, I made the screen captures for the video scavenger hunt and the characters.....

Actually, Driew, I didn't use your UHF character pictures. I used ones that Dr_Dad sent me. The only one of yours that I used was the one of Kuni.

Well good! Mine sucked. I thought Jim was MIA....

He sent me the pics the next day after you did. I had already incorporated your Video Scavenger Hunt images into the game, so I wasn't about to redo that whole part of the challenge. But I hadn't finished the UHF pictures at that point, so I chose to use Dr_Dad's, which were MUCH better than yours, BTW!

Well of course.

Jeremy, can you pm me Jim's choice of video screen shots? I'm curious to see what he came up with.

Quick update: I've received an answer to the Logic Puzzle (complete with each link from all the legs of the challenge) from one of the finalists! All of the links are correct, and all but ONE of the answers to the Logic Puzzle are correct. And I can say with pretty good certainty that once the person looks at their answers again, they will realize immediately the mistake they made and it will be fixed. So, basically, we have a winner! It's just a formality that we need to wait for the person to send the correct answers.

HOWEVER, if someone DOES send the complete correct answers to me BEFORE that person does, then they will successfully steal the win. But that doesn't look likely. Also, I can say that the prize for the NON-PLAYERS is no longer up for grabs. We won't wait any longer for that, because frankly, I don't think anyone besides the players even tried at it.

Once the person sends me the correct answers, I will post the announcement of the winner, the complete solutions to ALL legs of the challenge, and finally the start of the long awaited third-to-last, TRIBAL COUNCIL!!!!

Assuming that the person sends me the correct answers soon enough and that I receive all the votes in a timely manner, the next Immunity Challenge will be at 8:00 PM EASTERN on Sunday.

I tried ... but failed miserably. I only tried for a couple hours, but they were an extremely gruelling couple hours. Very good challenge, Jeremy (Jeff).

If I had actually been in the game, I would have stuck with it a little longer.
