A Challenge to complete: The Centurion Champs (Misc)

No reworked Queen song here. Think of your own. And while you're at it, play some hourlies and get to a 1600 rating in two of the available Champion divisions. Or, if you can't manage that, just qualify for three of them. Either way will be good enough. We're not always that cruel.

Due to the abolition of champ divisions on most games, this award can no longer be completed. We may at some point resurrect it in a different way. [ 583 winners so far. ]

A Challenge to complete: Halloween 2015 (Misc)

This challenge was a time-limited event during the last week of October 2015. It is no longer available.


...intercepted weak radio message...

"Help!

The evil twin has escaped his prison cell and locked me up instead! He plans to once again make FunTrivia unplayable and his method of choice seems to be explosives again - this time, however, he learned from last time and doesn't use stationary objects such as pumpkins. I fear his weapons of choice are exploding kittens and he's targeting the Pot of Gold rainbow.

He's sent out seven of these kittens, one for each color of the rainbow. If even one of them fulfils its mission, we'll have a hard time reading any quizzes. Thankfully each can be lured back to its kitty bed where it will purr itself to sleep (and completely forget about exploding). I left some CLUES FOR you in a quiz. It has twenty questions and for each of THE kittens, you will need to put together three of the clues and then act upon them. As seven times three is twenty-one, one answer must be used twice. Which of the clues go together is something you must find out for yourselves. Work in your teams just like you're used to - together you can gather information much better than any individual could.

Try to act as normally as possible so we can keep the evil one CLUELESS about our plans. In particular, when dealing with the eleventh clue, add to existing ones - too many new ones might tip him off and don't please the kitten anyway. Also remember that herding cats is difficult - if their favorite sleeping conditions are no longer met, they will jump back to the cat tree to wait for the sunrise and the rainbow. Finally, when dealing with the one whose name you need to find - she only craves human attention.

I'll work on a magical spell that'll get me out of here (and put the evil twin back), but don't rely on me being back before the scheduled blast time. And sorry for the weak transmission, but I cannot risk him picking this up. I hope you have a high gain antenna.

The Tower Guardian"



The signal of the message is very weak and we can't decode it without a high gain antenna. The best we have out of the box is 5 dB, but we'll need 30 for a clear signal. Thankfully, we can tune it by working together. For each daily FT point score of 10,000 or higher anyone plays, we will be able to improve it by 0.1, so we'll need 250 such scores. It doesn't matter who attains them, just that we get them quickly. Once the evil twin releases his menaces, the timer is ticking! We'll tune the antenna several times each day based on your contributions!

Current Antenna gain: >30.0 dB - Good work!

Creating NEW ones of the thing mentioned in the 11th clue does not help with it!!! (see boldfaced part above). All it does is create clutter - so don't do it!

We intercepted another weak transmission:


"If you think you found something but the number seems wrong, it could be you're looking at the wrong number."

We have contacted a well-known cat psychologist and after several mishaps, he found out a few things:
  • A cat who never seems to stay put can be totally placated by stroking the smallest of its digits.

  • A cat who craves human attention initially needs a multi-step program, each of which addresses one part of her (ineffable, deep and inscrutable, singular) name in order. You can do that anywhere you want.

  • Entranced cats can't count well. When they gaze at stars, they will only see one even if you show them two at the same time.

  • A cat craving sweet treats needs the right amount - no more - and fast!

  • Don't challenge a cat more than needed. It will scare him away.

  • Playing with thread can be soothing to kittens. Get several different colors - not just one - and remember brand new ones just don't smell right.

  • Sometimes pleasing a cat can be as simple as having the right word in the right place.


The rules for cooperation are the same as the last two years - you can discuss, brainstorm or exchange information within your teams as much as you want, but in the end, every player will need to meet all requirements themselves to receive the badge. (Of course it's much easier once you know what they are...) By the way, even if you want to figure it out all by yourself, you need to be in a team (of any size or activity level) to complete the challenge. [ 383 winners so far. ]

EPILOGUE


November 5, 2025 4:10 pm

By the authority and duty vested in me as Guardian, judge and arbiter of Quizzyland, I, kyleisalive, herewith declare ruled according to prevailing law:

First, that by virtue of both the recent cat-astrophic battle and the public opinion poll which ended in seventy-six votes for Mr. Evi L. Twin and one hundred and five votes for Mr. Junior, that all title and property to the Lair, including all treasure, weapons and traps therein, are assigned to Mr. Junior in perpetuity.

Second, that for his transgressions against the safety of Quizzyland and for his continued mistreatment of his own creations, Mr. Evi L. Twin shall be banished from the lands, seas, air and underground of the Republic of Quizzyland for a period of one thousand days.

Third, that after reviewing the evidence and testimony of Prime Guardian Terry and Tower Guardian WesleyCrusher, the high treason charges each brought against the other are null and void as both could clearly demonstrate they only had the best of the country in mind when they took sides and, in diverting the forces westward, have prevented a much greater catastrophe. As such, both are acquitted of any guilt.

Fourth, that all charges of murder that have been filed in this court are nonsubstantial because all 181 citizens who had taken sides have returned from the battlefield without lasting injury.

And fifth and finally, that the entire assets and property of Mr. Evi L. Twin shall be confiscated and held towards the repairing of any damage sustained by the country and its citizens. Any remaining funds from his vast illicitly accumulated riches shall be returned to him after this has been done.

So it is decreed and just. For Knowledge!

Later on the same evening

So, a new Diamond Dome, massive structural reinforcements to the Tower, mapping and salvaging of what is lost from the lower Lost Levels, the damaged houses and harvests from the pumpkin goo... do Evi's assets really pay for that?
By a factor of about six, actually, according to what I have seen. But once we figure in the compensation to those seven mistreated kittens, the cost of medical and veterinary services, replacements for rossian's wolves and upstart's priceless Frankenkittens and everything else, it will be a lot less. Still, even after that, he should be able to buy himself a small country to terrorize and hopefully forget about us and Junior soon.
Speaking of Junior... what shall we do about him? He'll be with us for a long time to come and if his dad and his career so far are any indication, his power will increase exponentially.
I'd say he'll get tired of us in two or three years. Maybe four. At the rate he's accumulating wealth with his investments - he's far more talented at that than his father - I'll bet he'll sell the lair on Craigslist by 2030 at the latest... and then we have the old undead guy back, because who else wants that lair...
Given the number of cheaters we had here over the years, there might actually be quite the bidding war over it.
I'd not underestimate Junior... I've been here for seventeen years... and he is, after all, somewhat related to me. He might just use this place as a sort of private theme pa...
Don't say that word!
...entertainment complex. Anyway, here's to having survived another year of this...
Wait! It's not a party without a rabbit. And by that I don't mean that cantankerous Kate Anchorous...
Dagnabbit rabbit! Where is flopsy? I don't think she took sides, at least she was not in Evi's headquarters.
She's not been in the south either... where is she?

The door to the pool area opens with a loud bang... and a feeble "quack"

Well, thank you for inviting me so early and reliably... just who do you think managed the medics for the last eight days and made sure no one died...

...Fade to Black and End Credits

See you next year...
