The second execution ended... David was the next one to leave... Who fooled him? Who made him think that he knows the identity of The Mole? Only ten contestants remained. Who will be next to go? And who is sure to survive all eliminations? Who is... The Mole?

Nov 11th:
Ten remained and at the beginning of this day they all been asked to divide into two teams of five. They later found out that both teams played the game not knowing the rules of both challenges.
They were asked to choose five puzzle creators and five puzzle solvers. Later that day the creators group (Ant, Mike, Liz, Jennifer and Steven) received their assigment:
"Hello creators! Your challenge is simple. All you have to do is create five puzzles before the deadline (Tuesday 7pm GMT). The harder the puzzles are the better! After you create those puzzles one person will have to catch me on MESSenger (when I'm online) and send me the puzzles. From the moment I receive those puzzles I'll have 5 minutes to solve them! For each puzzle I DON'T solve you win $5,000! So maximum for this challenge can be $25,000. You can't contact with the other group and tell them ANYTHING about your challenge! If you do... well it may be a hard week for you... REMEMBER!! Don't tell the solvers ANYTHING about your challenge! Don't say I didn't warn you! Good luck!"

The cretors were able to create five puzzles. On Tuesday Steven gave me the puzzles. I was able to solve one of them so $20,000 went to the kitty. Then it was time for the second challenge. This time the solvers team received their assigment:

"Hi my solving team! I have a challenge for you! Here you see 5 riddles. You can try to solve them and you have time till Wednesday 6pm GMT if you decide to try to solve them. If you decicde to try to solve them you'll need to work using those rules:
You'll have to send me answeres to the riddles via E-Mail this way:
When you complete any riddle you immediately send me an answer. If I receive two answeres to one riddle it'll be marked as wrong.

Here are your puzzles:
1. What is the smallest integer that can be expressed as the sum of two squares in three different ways?

2. Find three different two digit primes where the average of any two is a prime and the average of all three is a prime.

3. Strength is an eight letter word with only one vowel. whats an eight letter word with five vowels in a row?
4. What is the next 4 digit term in this series? 1248 1632 6412 8256?

5. The ages of Old and Young total 48. Old is twice as old as Young was when Old was half as old as Young will be when Young is three times as old as Old was when Old was three times as old as Young. How old is Old?

Remember to send me chat logs/E-Mails that had to do with this challenge after the end of the challenge! And REMEMBER NOT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR CHALLENGE WITH THE OTHER GROUP!!!"


The group didn't realise that they didn't have to solve them. Alison sent me the correct answer to the 3rd riddle ("Queueing"), then Amy tried to answer the 4th riddle. She thought it was 9547. She was wrong.
After the end of the challenge both teams discovered what the other team's challenge was. They realised that the solvers received the riddles the creators made and for each riddle that the solvers solved they lost another $5000!
After both challenges they won $15,000.

You all probably wonder what's are the answeres to all riddles (especially riddle 4)... Here they are:
1. The answer is always less than 500 = 325 = 1 sq + 18 sq = 6 sq + 17 sq = 10 sq + 15 sq
2. 11, 47, 71
3. Queieing
4. 5121 (Look at the numbers it's 1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512-1024 easy isn't it? :))
5. Old=30 Young=18

On Wednesday after the end of the solvers team challenge the whole team received their final assigment which was worth $50,000!
It's time for your third challenge this week! In a moment each one of you will receive an E-Mail will five images. Those images are part of the puzzle! You need to exchange the images in order to get the whole picture... There are 20 pieces. But to make things harder some of you will receive few FALSE pieces! To win $50,000 8 out of 10 of you need to send me back ALL 20 CORRECT pieces! But... I have a proposition for ya (And you know that I'm EVIL)... If someone collects all FALSE pieces (there are 14) and sends them back to me, this person wins a FREE PASS into the next episode, but the challenge is lost!!!"

On Friday Alison sent me 20 pieces she thought were all TRUE.... But there were two false ones! So even if the other 7 of them sent me those pieces the challenge would be lost... But even if 8 out of 10 sent me all correct pieces the challenge would be lost thanks to Robbie, who decided to take the free pass! That meant that $50,000 were lost and the kitty stayed at $184,000 out of $375,000 possible!
The challenge was lost but Robbie stayed in the game... The rest had to take the quiz!
They had to answer 10 questions about the identity of The Mole! Here are some of the questions: "Is The Mole male or female?", "What pieces did The Mole send to Alison?", "Did The Mole win a free pass?" and of course "Who is The Mole?"
On Saturday it was time to eliminate the next person... They all received their elimination programms through E-Mail. They had to open it and then they had to enter players names into the computer... Green screen meant that the person stayed while the red screen meant that the person has to leave...
Who was eliminated? Robbie had a free pass so he stayed. I began with Mark:

MARK


AMY


STEVEN


JENNIFER


MICHAEL


ALISON


Alison was eliminated!!!
She knew the least about the identity of The Mole.
Nine have remained.
Among them THE MOLE!
