is that good or bad?

Well in the example, to me it states the answer fairly clearly.


In a game of Tug-o’-War, Oliver and John easily won over Thomas and Jacob.

So we know Oliver and John are the front runners


When Oliver and Thomas were a team, they could barely pull Jacob and John.


This settles that John was #2 and says Thomas is stronger than Jacob

Oliver and John easily won over Thomas and Jacob.
Oliver + John > Thomas + Jacob

When Oliver and Thomas were a team, they could barely pull Jacob and John.
Oliver + Thomas < John + Jacob

When Oliver and Jacob played in a team against Thomas and John, the game ended in a draw.
Oliver + Jacob = John + Thomas

Oliver + John > Thomas + Jacob => A+B>C+D
Oliver + Thomas < John + Jacob => A+C>B+D
Oliver + Jacob = John + Thomas => A+D>B+C

Simple math problem you get:

C-Thomas = 1
A-Oliver = 2
D-Jacob = 3
B-John = 4

highest number is strongest

Ok you will need to add some conjunctions or
Imagination to this to complete the sentence.

I’m looking for a sentence (or a short story) which strings these clues together in the right order they are listed :)

  1. Imagine you are in a dark room. How do you get out?
  2. What invention lets you look right through a wall?
  3. What can you catch but not throw?
  4. What is always coming but never arrives?
  5. What gets broken without being held?
  6. If you have me, you want to share me. If you share me, you haven’t got me. What am I?
  7. Feed me and I live, yet give me a drink and I die Who am I?

WE start this journey of our hero Bubba Almost stupid and Shit... or Bass for short.


He is trapped in this dark room and breaks the binds that held him... first thought he has to feel for a light switch. He stumbles... in his head the voice of a memory once true says. " Bubba! " To your left!

Bubba reaches out and feels the switch, flicks it up and...


Nothing... still dark.


He remembers his trusty Zippo lighter in his pocket... he thinks to himself, "Why did you not think of this first!" He flicks the flint, a small flash and...


Out of fluid... damn it Bass!


But with the spark of the flint, he see a reflection... he frantically keeps sparking the flint... the reflection sheen is getting closer, now his heart beat is beating fast... anxiety is starting to kick in... then he trips over the same shit he stumbled over earlier... goes flying, like superman, but an almost stupid and shit one... the lighter flies out of his hand, he gasps, NOOOO!


A window shatters! and he now sees a way out....


To be continued by someone else!

Bass stumbles to the window and climbs out cutting his hand in the process. As he breaks more glass he also breaks the silence of the night.

Now he's out and it's the next person's turn. ;)

Come on y'all. All Bass has to figure out is 6 and 7. They aren't that difficult. One of y'all can do it!

that’s the spirit :) :vino:

Add 1000 to 40.

Add 1000 again, then add 30.

Add 1000 again, then add 20.

Add a further 1000, then add 10.

What is your answer?
