Round Twelve: Hold onto Your Hat

[Amanda Kimmel]

ROUND TWELVE: HOLD ON TO YOUR HAT

Come on in, guys, and behold the sight of immunity!

I have hats for all of you today! Unfortunately, these aren't sexy like mine because they're designed to be unstable. I also have a plate for each of you. While ensuring your hat stays on, you also have to keep this plate intact.

Aka... this is a sadistic Amanda endurance challenge.

You will create one topic called "PLATE" and one topic called "HAT" in your confessional. Each will require you to post at specific minutes within each set of ten. Some minutes you will need to post in BOTH topics. Some minutes you'll need to post in one instead of the other. It sounds simple, but is actually quite complicated.

Here are the minutes for each topic:

PLATE	HAT
:x0	:x0
:x1	:x3
:x2	:x4
:x5	:x5
:x6	:x7
:x8	:x9

Basically, you'll post in each topic six times every ten minutes at the same intervals. So at 1:10, you would post in both. At 1:11 and 1:12, you would post in PLATE only. Then 1:13 and 1:14 in HAT. Then 1:15 in both. Then 1:16 in PLATE, 1:17 in HAT, 1:18 in PLATE, 1:19 in HAT. You will repeat this cycle for 1:2x.

It's supposed to be confusing. That's what sadistic endurance is all about.

If your hat blows off or you drop your plate, that's it, you're done. No freebies (with one exception, see below). This is late in the game. It's all about how bad you want it.

You will have 23 hours - until 8 PM Eastern tomorrow - to begin. I will cut everyone off at 11 PM Eastern and announce results. If 3 out of 4 of you require an extension, it will be granted. I need at least three votes to allow it at this stage of the game.

There will also be a bonus challenge posted in your tribe camp within the next hour. The person who wins it will receive a mulligan, meaning they're allowed to make one mistake. However, you won't know if you won it or not until AFTER the challenge. If you mess up once, you can keep going - I just won't count the time after unless you win the mulligan.

If you have questions, I will be available. For now... Survivors ready? GO!
