Double Dog Dare [/b]
Penn DOUBLE DOG DARES each of you to do the following:
1. Put together an approx. 50 piece jigsaw puzzle
(similar to those that were part of the Elemental challenge).
[[HOW FAST CAN YOU DO IT?]]
2. Post as many DIFFERENT pictures of
Penn in a minute's time.
[[HOW MANY CAN YOU POST?]]
3. Answer correctly as many questions about
your season as you can in a minute.
[[HOW MANY CAN YOU GET RIGHT?]]
4. Solve 10 scrambled names (first and last)
of Big Brother houseguests from the CBS show.
[[HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU SOLVE THEM?]]
5. Gather pictures of 5 specified items
(to be determined at that time) and provide image links.
[[HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU FIND THEM?]]
For each dare, you will answer the question of how quick (give a time in minutes and seconds) or how many (give a number quantity). If you are one of the 3 houseguests who thinks that they can do the best (fastest or greatest), then you will have to try to complete the dare and accomplish the time or amount that you said you could do. If you succeed, you earn points. If you fail, the points go to someone else! The person with the most points in the end is our new HoH!
If you lock in with the fastest time or greatest amount and succeed in completing the dare, you earn 5 points.
If you lock in with the 2nd fastest time or greatest amount and succeed in completing the dare, you earn 2 points.
If you lock in with the 3rd fastest time or greatest amount and succeed in completing the dare, you earn 1 point.
If any of the top 3 people who try the dare fail, their points go to the next person in line automatically!
EXAMPLE
How fast can you run a lap?
Jane says 1 minute 0 seconds.
Jim says 3 minutes 30 seconds.
Carl says 3 minutes 10 seconds.
Amanda says 4 minutes 30 seconds.
Jane would get the first chance to try. She runs the lap in 38 seconds. She succeeds and gets 5 points.
Carl would get the next chance to try. He runs the lap in 4 minutes. Carl fails, and his points go directly to the next person (Jim) EVEN IF JIM FAILS! Jim gets 2 points.
Jim is next, and he runs a lap time of 20 seconds! Wow! Jim gets the 1 point for being successful (plus he had 2 from Carl, so really he has 3).
Amanda gets no points because she was not one of the top 3 times, so she won't even get to try the dare. ONLY THE TOP THREE TIMES/QUANTITIES will even get a chance to try the dares. That also means that the only way Amanda could score is if Jim had failed, she would have scored 1 point. Anybody in 5th place or below when your submitted times/quantities are in will never have a chance to score for that dare.
With all that said, for now, all you need to do is give a time/quantity for each dare for how fast or how many you think you can do. Be careful not to predict something that you cannot fulfill or else your points will go to someone else!
Finally, if any 2 players give the same time or quantity for a particular dare, they cancel each other out and won't get to try! So you do NOT want to put the same time/quantity as other houseguests.
If you have questions, please share them here. Otherwise, I need a list of 5 in your DR by 6pm EST Saturday, at which point I'll let you know in your DR which dares you will be attempting.  |

If you find ways in which you can gain slight advantages in challenges, that's great! If you find ways in which the entire concept of the challenge is compromised to ensure a win via taking advantage of loopholes, shame on me for not being observant enough to discover this loophole AND shame on you if you try to use this loophole without first consulting with me to see if it was an oversight on my part or if it's an advantage that I'm fine with you utilizing.
This challenge has an obvious loophole which would allow people to throw points to others by making ridiculous bids. I have talked with some of you but wanted to share my views with everyone. I will NOT stop you from doing this, but I am HIGHLY discouraging it. And, in the future, there will be a rule clause which prohibits the use of loopholes to earn a win without first bringing the error to my attention and seeing my view on the probable loop hole.
With that, we will see how the chips fall in this challenge. Nobody will be penalized now for using the loophole, but it is clearly going against the way the challenge was planned, and I hope that out of respect, you guys will do the challenge the way it was designed to run.
It was a mistake on my part, and I apologize. And now I ask that you do what you feel is right/necessary. That is all.

Crap, I tried to guess answers that would get me in the top 3, but now I'm terrified I bit off way more than I can chew on these. Good luck everyone.

Note: I did not rank bids in order. They are alphabetical. So the three names for each dare are not in order of bids!
