The HxF Mole 5 - Task 2: Treasure Hunt

Kardan · 13-04-2020, 06:30 PM

Here is a 10x10 grid, under each square is some treasure:

Under the squares you could find:
+10p - Add 10p to the group prize fund
-10p - Subtract 10p from the group prize fund
-1 quiz - You will take a -1 penalty on the next execution quiz
Exemption - Become exempt from the next execution quiz (this means you cannot be eliminated at the next quiz
Exemption+ - Become exempt from an execution quiz of your choice - cannot be used in the final 2 execution quizzes.
Freebies - Skip questions on the execution quiz for free
Nothing - Does nothing
Game Over - Your turn is over and you lose all prizes earned to that point

For their turn, players must choose one number at a time (only comments posted in bold will be accepted) and the contents of this square will be revealed. Providing a player doesn’t uncover a game over square, they can choose between taking another turn revealing another square, or cash in their current winnings. Once you cash in your winnings, or uncover a game over square, you may not take any more turns.
By revealing another square, you are putting at risk your current winnings for the chance of adding further prizes to your winnings.

For example: Bob picks square 1 and wins 10p to the group prize fund. He chooses to continue, and picks square 2 and gets a game over. Bob wins nothing and can make no more moves.

Dave picks square 3 and wins 10p to the group prize fund. He chooses to continue, and picks square 4 and wins an exemption. He chooses to cash in his winnings, and Dave wins 10p to the group prize fund and an exemption to himself. He can make no more moves.

Prize: Overall, there is a maximum prize of £1 for the group prize fund.

Good luck! This task will finish at 8pm BST on Tuesday 14th April or when all players have finished.
