Round 4 POV

[Penn Badgley]

Heya housecalls. This PoV will be sessions, which means you will be able to host it for anyone who finds you on AIM (if you're willing/able to do so). I'll be posting detailed instructions here for how you'll host it, so that if you have any questions, just turn here to find the answers!

Ok, this challenge is SUPER easy to host.

Basically, they each have their own password protected board in the back yard. And all the instructions are pretty much laid out within the board.

You simply need to copy/paste the following message to them:

START COPY HERE

Welcome to your 3rd PoV challenge, hosted by Nike. They are looking for someone to represent their new line of shoes that are coming out very soon. However, they want a star who can Just Do It when the time comes. That includes following directions exactly and doing it in a quick manner.

You are NOT to talk about the contents of this challenge with other houseguests. If we find proof that you did, you could be punished in whatever way we decide is fair/reasonable.

When you are ready, let me know and I'll give you the password which will unlock your own personal PoV 4 thread in the backyard. At that point your time will start as soon as I give you the password. Inside that thread, you'll find all the instructions needed to finish the challenge. Remember, you MUST follow directions exactly as they're given. It's a test of speed, but if you fail to to anything as directed, you will not win this challenge.

When you are ready for your password, just say the words and I'll give it to you and then you're at the hands of Nike and their request to Just Do It!

END COPY HERE



Here are the passwords for each person. Please copy/paste them rather than typing them so that you don't spell it wrong accidentally and slow them down.


adam - blaring
bradley - grizzly
britney - disgrace
dianna - ambivalent
drew - sublime
johnny - disloyal
kate - puckered
lindsay - fixable
mike - vaulted
nicki - apologetic
sandra - wrinkled
sean - dizzier



Be sure to note their start time (according to the blue clock on the homepage of the site) and please try to give them the password when a new minute has started to make it fair for everyone. Sandra has already gone, so just edit my post to include the starting time like I did on the list below!


Strikethrough means they failed!

Adam - 7:45 pm started, 7:55 pm ended = 10 minutes*
Bradley - 4:45 pm started, 4:56 pm ended = 11 minutes*
Britney - 9:10 pm started, 9:50 pm ended = 40 minutes
Dianna - gave notice, cannot compete
Drew - 6:21 pm started, 6:52 pm ended = 31 minutes
Johnny - 8:19 pm started, 8:39 ended = 20 minutes
Kate - 8:36 pm started, 9:21 pm ended = 45 minutes
Lindsay - 7:24 pm started, never finished
Mike - 7:58 pm started, 8:12 pm ended = 14 minutes
Nicki - 7:42 pm started, 8:11 ended = 29 minutes
Sandra - 4:19 pm started, 4:31 ended = 12 minutes

Blake, we have a decision to make.

If Adam's time stands, I have marked his time with an asterisk, because he's made a mistake.... sort of.

You see, the one question asks them to list a number using prime digits only. He used 1. There is a debate of whether 1 is a prime number or not. The MAJORITY of mathematicians agree that 1 is NOT a prime number, however there are some who believe it is. Technically, by definition it's not, but there are "loop holes" in the theory.

So, do we accept 1 as being prime and give Adam the win (assuming nobody yet to go beats his time) or is it counted as a mistake, thus taking him out of the running?

Comments/Input from other housecalls welcome!

3. Mathematics (of a number) evenly divisible only by itself and one (e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7, 11).
• [ predic. ] (of two or more numbers in relation to each other) having no common factor but one.

Yeah, that's sort of tricky. But I'm sort of airing on the side that 1 is NOT a prime number. But I totally see the arguments that it is.

Bradley began at 4:45 and 00 seconds EST
