Russell's Final Words![](https://i.imgur.com/Um6IK5e.png) "OK. I have a lot to say! This was a total blindside. I had absolutely no clue this was going on against me. I had a constant flow of conversation in my PM's, except for maybe the last 3-4 hours, so this might have been a last minute flip. No one even peeped a word--and I talked to everyone in my tribe (ok...maybe that was my mistake?). Which means that moving forward, one must use caution in trusting any of these tribe members. I kept hearing from everyone with the exception of Adrian who I barely talked to it was Samba or Castle getting voted out... and nobody even mentioned me once. And yet somehow someway I lost the vote 5-3? I mean granted, I didn't have particularly strong connections with anyone in this tribe outside of one member coming in, but I tried to develop stronger bonds. I had about 3 players in the tribe that I fully intended to stay loyal to the rest of the game (and I bet they all three know who they are), but clearly some of those players had to have played a part in backstabbing me, especially given the pull that they have within the tribe. I'll be blunt: I ultimately think my tribe f**ked up. I planned to stay loyal to those who I claimed I would be loyal to, and I knew I was a strong asset to the tribe with regard to competitions. I think I would have been a much bigger competition threat moving forward compared to Rodger, who the tribe chose to keep. If the allies I vowed to be loyal to had just been forward with me and informed me about there being a plot against me, I would have done whatever it takes not only to help them make it through this tribe but also to help them make it to the end of this game. So ultimately, they are the ones that will lose the most from this, especially if they don't make it to the finale. For somebody that got voted out, I sure have a lot of information, because so many players revealed a lot to me. I would bet for sure that a good deal of it was true, even having been blindsided. Something definitely felt off about kanenra:ke. Don't trust kanenra:ke if he randomly reaches out to you like he did to me. I know without a shadow of a doubt that kanenra:ke betrayed me, and lied to me, and used information against me to get me out. He is the only one that I can think of that I sacrificed information to that I now find myself regretting. And what is crazy is I could have done the same thing to him since he had given me an equivalent amount of information, but opted not to. Gun to my head, I think Max also backstabbed me, although I am admittedly not 100 percent sure on this. But I do know he is working with kanenra:ke, so that can't be trusted. Maybe d12? it was clear he voted last minute from his accidental post inside the tribe PM, but i would not guess him if it were not for that fact. Honestly possibly both max and d12. Enya, at this point, is the only one I feel the chances are good about having held up their word and voting castle out. If he did backstab me by chance, then all the credit in the world to enya. Enya can be trusted. To the other tribes: I wish you nothing but the best of luck! But definitely watch out for what appears to be a large number of backstabbers within my tribe. To the two who voted with me in my tribe: Thank you very much for your support! It was much appreciated. Although I don't really know who you are at the moment (I am guessing enya and I'd have a headache before I would figure out the other one, lol). To castle: I wish you nothing but the best of luck, and have absolutely no issue with you doing what you had to do to survive. Props on beating me! To the rest of the tribe--those who voted me out: You guys made the wrong decision--point blank. If you wanted me out, you should have at least waited until I could no longer help you guys competitionally, because I was prepared to give my everything, and I know that my everything could have helped us beat the other tribes. If you want proof of that, just look at the last competition, where I had one of the best scores on our tribe. Those who were aligned with me, if they voted against me, especially made the wrong decision. Crazy that so many people were acting like it was going to be a 7-1 vote against castle in my PM's with them... and then I get backdoored just like it's the big brother house... shifty shifty. At the end of the day, I am not bitter against anyone, and will hold no grudges outside of this game. I understand that it is a game, and everyone has to do what they have to do to win. But I just feel that all this needed to be said, because some crazy big giant blindsiding conspiracy mess happened against me, and I an left trying to put all the puzzle pieces together, lmao..." - Russell ( Liucci) Joe's Final Words![](https://i.imgur.com/6zJBMub.png) "No hard feelings guys! It was fun getting to play even if it was only for a couple of days. Best of luck!" - Joe ( matteeeb) the duality of man

Reward Challenge Spidey Probst: Macal and Sibun, getting your first look at the new Hondo tribe. Joe was voted out at the last Tribal Council. It's time to get to the next challenge. Today you are playing for reward in a challenge called "Spatial Reasoning" and here's how it works:Each of you will test your spatial reasoning. Spatial reasoning is a category of reasoning skills that refers to the capacity to think about objects in three dimensions and to draw conclusions about those objects from limited information. When ready, each member of the tribe will be presented with a series of 10 spatial reasoning puzzles in their Confessional PMs. Below is an example of what to expect: ![](https://i.imgur.com/QttDNgI.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/nOrJdtq.png) Each puzzle will consist of an unfolded cube and four cube answer options. Your goal is to determine which of the four cannot be made out of that unfolded cube. In the example above, the face containing five dots and a square should be opposite. Hence, option A cannot be made and is the answer for that puzzle. You each will have a maximum of 10 minutes to compete in the challenge.The tribe with the most correct answers overall will win today's reward. You are permitted to discuss how many you felt you got right, but you are not allowed to discuss any of the puzzles or answers until the results are posted. The deadline for this challenge is 7:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. CT tomorrow evening.Spidey Probst: Sibun, you each have one extra member and will need to sit someone out for this challenge. Whoever sits this challenge out, must compete in the immunity challenge.No one on your tribe may compete until you determine who is sitting out. Spidey Probst: The winning tribe will a reward in the form of an advantage at the next immunity challenge. Does everyone understand the rules? Let's get started!Please discuss with your tribe which tribe you would like to send to Tribal Council if your tribe wins the challenge.

For each correct answer you get, you will earn 1 point for your tribe. You also have the chance to earn 3 extra credit points for your tribe if you perform the best in your subject. The tribe with the most points overall will earn immunity. The deadline for the challenge is 7:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT tomorrow evening.Spidey Probst: Sibun, you each have one extra member and will need to sit someone out for this challenge.

Spidey is currently preparing the results post; I'm reserving this space to copy and paste questions/answers/explanations later tonight (I currently have to leave). I do want to say, ahead of time, that a lot of the questions were flawed and I did my best to amend that. In one instance a question was removed from scoring, and in several other instances answers that weren't what I was originally looking for were accepted (either bc of the question being a bit ambiguous, or it being clear that a player knew the answer and just abbreviated it for the sake of time). I know many complained that this s**t was hard but I was as lenient on scoring as possible for everyone. Just keep that in mind when you see the results! {Q&A}[Q&A] ALGEBRA
YOU HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 10 MINUTES TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. YOU MAY USE THE ^ SYMBOL TO DENOTE EXPONENTS. Find the value of the letter variables in questions 1-5. (There may be more than one possible answer. Only one correct answer is needed to earn a point.) 1. 9x = 243 2. x/8 + 6 = 15 3. x 2 - 36 = 0 4. x 2 - 2x - 35 = 0 5. −4x 2 + 30x + 54 = 0 Factor the expressions in questions 6-8. 6. 3z + 15 7. x 2 + 10x + 24 8. 150x 2 + 415x + 280 Simplify the expressions in questions 9-10. 9. (−7t 4 + 9t 3)(7t 5 + 4t 4) 10. −(3b 2v 3 / b-3v 2) + 4 * b 1. x = 27 2. x= 72 3. x = 6 or -6 4. x = 7 or -5 5. x = 1.5, 1 1/2, or 9 6. 3(z + 5) 7. (x + 4)(x + 6) 8. 5(5x + 8)(6x + 7) 9. -49t 9 +35t 8 + 36t 710. −3b 2v 3−12bv 2+4b 2 / −3v 2+b I think I might have misread gabe's answer to #10 and cheated him out of a point, but he won on tiebreaker anyway and I could tell Sibun was winning overall so I was too lazy at the time to go back and check. CHEMISTRY & PHYSICS
YOU HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 10 MINUTES TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. 1. The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the _____ of every atom of that element. 2. There are _____ (number) naturally occurring chemical elements on earth. 3. The maximum number of valence electrons that an atom's outer shell can hold is _____. 4. _____ gases rarely react to other elements because they have the maximum number of valence electrons that an outer shell can hold. 5. General relativity explains the law of _____ and its relationship to other forces of nature, while special relativity applies to all physical phenomena that occurs in the absence of the aforementioned. 6. The densest type of star is the _____. 7. The Milky Way galaxy is orbited by several smaller galaxies; the largest of these orbiting galaxies is the _____. 8. Balance the following chemical equation: ___ (NH 4) 3 + ___Pb(NO 3) 4 --> ___ Pb 3(PO 4) 4 + ___ NH 4NO 39. Name every individual element that appears in the equation in #9. 10. What is NH 4? 1. Nucleus 2. 94 3. 8 4. Noble 5. Gravity 6. Neutron Star 7. Large Magellanic Cloud 8. REDACTED - I accidentally omitted the letter 'P' on the left side, making this an unsolveable equation 9. Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Phosphorus, Lead, Oxygen 10. Ammonium The equation question was mean even if I hadn't effed up the typing on it, but other than that, I don't find this an absolutely awful set of questions. All of the answerable questions are searchable, although admittedly #9 would slow you down if you don't know how to recognize element abbreviations right off the bat. CULINARY ARTS
YOU HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 10 MINUTES TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. 1. White pepper and black pepper both come from sun-dried peppercorns, but white pepper tastes hotter and less complex than black pepper due to an additional step in the processing of white pepper. What is the additional step? 2. Aquafaba is the leftover liquid from _______. 3. If the below circled item was left out of the ingredient list, this ice cream still could have been made with little to no effect on the final product. Why? ![](https://media.fooducate.com/comments/images/54F5CAEA-055A-A9F0-4361-AB3D1127100C.jpeg) 4. A medium rare steak should be _____ degrees when done. (Fahrenheit or Celsius accepted) 5. Name at least four effective VEGAN substitutes for eggs in baking. 6. This term for horse armor also refers to a tasty solution for keeping meats moist while roasting. 7. What is the actual scientific reason "Beer before liquor, never sicker" is true? 8. Higher altitudes require baking at different temperatures because of lower _____ which in turn lowers the _____ and results in drier baked goods. 9. Seasoning a cast-iron skillet is important for what two reasons? 10. White potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers are all _____. 1. for white pepper, the outer layer of the peppercorn is removed either before or after sundrying 2. cooked beans/legumes 3. Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifier, but so are several of the other ingredients listed - cellulose gel, guar gum, cellulose gum, mono- and diglycerides, locust bean gum, and carrageenan. All that s**t wasn't necessary to do one thing. 4. 135 F/57 C 5. applesauce, mashed bananas, ground flax or chia seeds, silken tofu, vinegar + baking soda, arrowroot powder, aquafaba, nut butter, carbonated water, agar-agar, soy lecithin, non-dairy yogurt are all acceptable answers 6. Barding 7. When you begin drinking lower content alcohol your body adjusts to getting drunk at that rate, and it thinks it's still consuming at that rate when you move up to higher content alcohol. So you drink more bc you feel fine, then get drunker - and sicker - faster. 8. air pressure, boiling point of water 9. creates a relatively nonstick surface and helps prevent rusting 10. Nightshades/Solanaceae (either answer is acceptable) #3, I accepted a few somewhat varying answers. austin said that polysorbate 80 makes ice cream firmer and slows down the melting time, but if you eat it fast enough it's just an 'unnecessary ingredient.' brayden simply said that it was an unnecessary additive. Both of those felt correct enough for me. On #4 I accepted 145 F from brayden bc depending on what site you land, a medium rare steak is 'done' at 135 or 145 degrees. Didn't care to hold that against him. #6 is the only one austin missed (he said brining) and #7 is the only one brayden missed (didn't answer). I forget which one of them gave somewhat different answers to #8 too (humidity/moisture) but that was an acceptable enough answer to me, so I let them have that as well. ENGLISH
YOU HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 10 MINUTES TO FIND TEN ELEVEN MISSPELLED WORDS IN THE BELOW IMAGE. lieutenant, glamorous, irrelevant, exaggerate, conscientious, jewelry (will accept jewellery - British spelling), exceed, inseparable, knowledgeable, loneliness - then had to add restaurant bc I didn't realize there was a typo in that word til Shooter spotted it. Shooter was the first person to take this quiz and found 10 words so fast that he had time to joke with me 'y'all tried to be slick with glamourous!' and still come back to his pm to notice the 11th one. I think I should have just left the instructions as is to keep things fair (I let Sam and Mylo know there were 11 words to find), but it didn't matter; Shooter breezed by on account of time. I forget which two words Mylo didn't see, but he thought forty and upholstery were misspelled. GEOGRAPHY
YOU HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 10 MINUTES TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. 1. How many counties are in the state of Alabama? 2. The _____ span from central Alabama to southeast Canada. 3. The richest country in the world, with regard to resources, is _____. 4. This paradoxical location provided asphalt for mummies, but also a health resort for a BCE king. 5. Only two US state capitals have names that rhyme. What are they? 6. The tallest mountain in the world is _____. 7. Name at least five buildings that have their own zip code. 8. A woman once jumped from the 86th-floor observatory of the Empire State Building and survived. How? 9. What is the most tornado-prone location in the US, based on a 2010 study of tornado density and path length? 10. Iceland is growing 5 centimeters every year because _____. 1. 67 2. Appalachian Mountains 3. Democratic Republic of Congo (later amended to allow for Russia) 4. The Dead Sea 5. Boston, MA and Austin, TX (later amended to allow Raleigh, NC and Albany, NY) 6. Mauna Kea (Mt. Everest is the highest mountain above sea level, but MK is the actual tallest mountain from its base to its peak) 7. NYC has 42 buildings with their own zip codes; any answer from this link is acceptable - convene.com/catalyst/buildings-new-york-city-own-zip-code/)8. A sudden strong gust of wind forced her onto a ledge on the 85th floor, where a security guard was then able to pull her back into the building through a window. She only suffered a fractured hip. 9. Smith County, MS 10. It is geographically divided by tectonic plates which are moving further apart This subject kind of went off the rails about 2/3 into the questions and wasn't even really geography anymore lmao, but overall I don't think it was super hard. There was a bit of ambiguity as to whether Raleigh and Albany rhyme and I decided to let that slide. Richest country by resources pulls up varying answers so I accepted both DRC and Russia for that one. HISTORY
YOU HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 10 MINUTES TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. 1. What period of rule immediately preceded The Roman Empire in Rome? 2. The Roman Empire had _____ total emperors and empresses, including all co-emperors. 3. The last person to rule both the Western and Eastern Roman empires was _____. 4. The Roman Empire was split into eastern and western halves because _____. 5. The Eastern Roman Empire is also known as _____. 6. The Roman Empire was finally brought to an end when it was defeated by _____. 7. The Roman Empire was similar to the Antebellum south (in the US) in that it was a _____ society... 8. ...but the Roman Empire differed from the Antebellum south in that its practice of (answer in #7) was not based on _____. 9. The Roman Empire was full of a lot of asses, but the US equivalent of that today would be having a bunch of _____. 10. The United States' founders chose to model landmarks and buildings after classical Roman architecture despite viewing the Roman Empire's form of government negatively because _____. 1. Roman Republic 2. 202 3. Theodosius I 4. Theodosius I divided administration between his two sons Arcadius and Honorius on his death 5. Byzantine Empire 6. Ottoman Turks (Ottoman Empire also accepted) 7. slave 8. race 9. pennies; 'asses' is the plural word for as, the smallest coin in Roman currency 10. they wanted to avoid comparisons to feudal and religious European architecture such as castles and cathedrals Ah, the controversial Roman Empire! No, really, almost all this s**t was on wiki. If there was anything difficult about it, it's just that the wiki page was so long that you may or may not have had time to scan it all to find the answer you needed. This was a CTRL-F kind of test. IIRC Max said 'coins' on #9, which I accepted. Someone said 'because the kingdom was too big to rule' on # 4 and I can't remember if I gave that a point or not; on the wiki page that's not the given reason but if you google it, it's the first result that comes up. That point wouldn't have made a diff in who won the subject (or overall) so it's whatever. Someone else said Theo I dying didn't quite get at the full reason the kingdom got split. It was due to inheritance - he'd already named his two sons co-rulers of those halves while he was alive. On #6, Max got a zero because he named the person who defeated the western empire (King Odoacer); the west fell centuries before the eastern empire also did. I probably should have been lenient on that one and let him have the point but he'd already won the subject anyway and one more measly point wasn't going to help Macal catch up to Sibun, so it didn't matter. MUSIC THEORY
YOU HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 10 MINUTES TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.
1. True or False: a crotchet represents one beat in music. 2. The harmonic notes played just before the chorus of Ariana Grande's Break Free (e.g., 0:58 - 1:00 in the music video) are a rare example of the use of _____ in modern pop. Vision of Love also employs this in at least three different places - at 0:32, 0:47, and 3:08 of the VOL video. 3. What is the purpose of a Sostenuto pedal? 4. The first R&R #1 single was _____ by _____. 5. Jazz musicians such as Charlie Parker and Miles Davis used a technique, sometimes called _____, to avoid having to pay publishers for copyright permissions. In this technique they used the moving chord progressions of an already-existing piece (as chord progressions are not copyrightable), but placed a new melody on top. 6. Accidental notations last for the duration of a _____, unless canceled by an additional accidental. 7. Today, cut time is most commonly used in _____. 8. What is this? ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/tinycards/image/219e151beff4a2c01645e230b9c6b85f) 9. The Police's Every Breath You Take is a unique variation on the _____ form of music. 10. Figure out what song this (title + artist) is by deciphering the re-written lyrics. Taking the car out for a drive I informed my friends not to mind the police Because I'm firing all my rounds To forcefully procure valuable items from an unfortunate soul I had to insert my rounds to fire them off Now pass me that entire bottle of cough syrup, so I can relax I have all the major connections and I make deals as if I was living in the Reagan era This woman's fellatio was so delightful, I had to send her some money Then I told them, take that young man's life For my own will not be given away, of that I can assure you I truly am interested in knowing your whereabouts 1. False 2. Augmented chords 3. Sustains only the notes currently being played on a piano while leaving notes played later unaffected 4. Half-Breed, Cher (R&R = Radio & Records btw) 5. Contrafact 6. Measure 7. Marching or military style music 8. Tenor clef 9. Rondo 10. The Box, Roddy Ricch IMO this was the hardest 'subject' of the seven, and it's entirely my fault. Some of the questions, I either didn't write the questions clearly enough to get the specific answers I wanted, or they were written in such a way that they weren't nearly as 'searchable' as they should have been. And in general I think all three people who took this were just thrown for a loop because they weren't expecting the 'theory' part of music theory to be so literal for most of the questions. On #2 Leo complained that the source he found for that answer was paywalled (the sites I used weren't paywalled) but nonetheless that was a sign that I could have written the question better. I gave Leo a half-point for #8 because he answered 'the notes on the G-string viola' - that's the alto clef. The alto and tenor clefs use the same symbol but are located on different places on the staff to indicate where middle C is. Anna is the only one who got The Box. Kinda thinking I should have just made 10 'guess the song' questions like that instead of all that other stuff. So with all that out the way...I didn't realize until after the challenge was underway that Spidey isn't really a big fan of people searching for answers and I suspect some players have that same mindset. Had I known that, I definitely would have scaled this back, or just relied on some basic grade school worksheets or sth. I went in expecting people to search for things, so I came up with questions that aren't hard from a search perspective so much as from a 'you may or may not have time to find all the answers' one. Spidey and I also disagreed initially on how much time to give everyone. I was thinking 2 hours (for 30-40 questions) and 30 minutes (after Spidey said 40 questions is too much, but then 30 minutes for 10 questions seemed too long). So ya, again, that traces back to the style of question and Spidey and I not realizing we needed to clarify with each other whether we expected people to look for answers or not. Ok that's it. Professor Rose is now taking an indefinite leave from teaching lol PM me if you have any further questions, but also know that even if there is something you feel is up for debate, it won't affect the results. Sibun was simply too far ahead (in fact when Spidey spotted an error on one of my tiebreakers it gave Sibun an even bigger lead lol).

For real though, I wasn’t expecting to have to balance a chemical equation (esp one of that complexity).

Tribal Decision Spidey Probst: It is now time to find out which tribe Sibun has chosen to send to Tribal Council.Gus ( Zeebz): Let’s go with Macal. The majority consensus seems to lie there" Spidey Probst: Macal is heading to Tribal Council. You will be voting the third All-Star out of this game. Head back to camp and figure out who that will be.

It was all about the Roman Empire. It was ridicolous. Cynthia has history of going overboard with the challenges everything sometimes all the time Which is funny because I got eight of the history questions straight from the Roman Empire Wikipedia page. How I manage to do too much while doing the absolute least at the same time, I will never know! I won't comment on complaining about a subject after your tribe won, but I can promise you all that I was not and am not and will never be trying to put too much effort into anything lmao. anna asking me 'Just one question: umm, wtf?' when she received her challenge is still my favoritest reaction to anything lol

Spidey is currently preparing the results post; I'm reserving this space to copy and paste questions/answers/explanations later tonight (I currently have to leave). I do want to say, ahead of time, that a lot of the questions were flawed and I did my best to amend that. In one instance a question was removed from scoring, and in several other instances answers that weren't what I was originally looking for were accepted (either bc of the question being a bit ambiguous, or it being clear that a player knew the answer and just abbreviated it for the sake of time). I know many complained that this s**t was hard but I was as lenient on scoring as possible for everyone. Just keep that in mind when you see the results! Alright thank you but where is it sis?
