The HxF Mole 5 - Task 3: Freebies

Kardan · 13-04-2020, 06:30 PM

For this task there is no prize for the overall prize fund but you can win Freebies. Freebies are essentially items that you can earn throughout the competition and you use them when you submit your Execution Quiz. For each Freebie you earn, you can simply answer a question in the Execution Quiz with Freebie and it would be marked correctly.

So, for example, if you didn’t know the gender of the Mole, you could submit the following during the Execution Quiz if you had a Freebie:

1] What is the gender of the Mole? Freebie

You would then get that question correct. Essentially, a Freebie gives you a free point in the Execution Quiz.

There is no limit on how many Freebies a person can hold at one time.

You may not use the Freebie on the final question of the Execution Quiz (Who is the Mole?), as we need an answer to determine Mole Detections for the Mole’s win condition at the end of the competition.

You carry Freebies with you over rounds. So for example if you won 3 Freebies during Tasks 1, 2 and 3 you could, for example, play all 3 Freebies for Execution Quiz 1. Or you could play 0 Freebies for Execution Quiz 1 and play all 3 in Execution Quiz 2 – you could even play 1 Freebie for Execution Quiz 1, and save 2 for Execution Quiz 2.

If you are eliminated from the competition with Freebies, they are essentially wasted.

However, all Freebies must be used either during or before Execution Quiz 7. Any Freebies taken used during Execution Quiz 8, or the final Execution Quiz will be void.

And now, for the task. I have a predetermined amount of Freebies to give away to the group. To start the task, I will post ‘There is 1 Freebie up for grabs’. The first contestant to post ‘I’ll take the Freebie’ in bold will earn that Freebie. They are then out of the task, and can no longer take part and can no longer earn any additional Freebies.

After a certain amount of time I will post again, offering another Freebie. If someone took the previous Freebie, once again, there would be 1 Freebie on offer.
However, if nobody took the previous Freebie, there would now be 2 Freebies up for grabs. Whoever posts now, in bold, will get 2 Freebies.
This continues until I run out of Freebies. If there are still untaken Freebies up for grabs when I run out, I will take them out of play when I make my next post. The question is, how greedy are you? When do you take the Freebies? How long do you wait?

This task will begin in a few minutes. This task will be finished by at least 8pm BST on Tuesday 14th April.
