  1. Find two points on the plane that are the same color (say blue), call them 1 and 2. Find a the points 3 and 4 that are equidistant from 1 and 2 as they are from each other, i.e. form equilateral triangles with 1 and 2, these must be the other color (red). Find point 5 which forms an equilateral triangle with points 3 and 4., this point must be the original color (blue). Find point 6 which forms an equilateral triangle with points 2 and 5, this must be the second color (red). Now find point 7 which form equilateral triangles with points 3 and 6 AND points 1 and 5, hence an equilateral triangle with vertices of the same color must exist.

  2. Agent Aaryan cleverly surmised that perhaps thermodynamics was the key to, well, the key. So he summoned up the maximum amount of water he could with his will to speed up the ice melting.

    A new agent, Binary, was originally confused about the strength of his own will, and attempted to create an 'agent multiplicator', which, since summoning intelligent creatures was against the Green Gate's rules, did not work as he had planned, but instead, only served to agitate the water, which in turn, sped up the convective heat transfer process.

    The key was now free. Now they just had to get to the top. Agent Aaryan had already considered a way to do this, but he would need some help. There were other ways as well, and the agents pondered which path to take.

  3. It was a blank. Framm receives all the chips on the table (he was correct, it should have been 2+8=10 from Panther).

    Standings:

    Framm (East): 110

    Panther (West): 190

    Panther's turn to shoot or pass, pass cost is reset to 1.

  4. Due to the initial confusion, and seeing that I allowed Western Army to power-play one turn in the Vanguard Battle, I will allow the Eastern Army to power-play one turn here.

    Ahem... I was not powerplayed?? :P

    Sorry, I meant the General Battle...

    (Although you never know...you might just think you're the one pulling the strings ;P)

  5. The ball was in pocket 4.

    Current standings:

    BMAD (East): 102

    Jay (West): 116

  6. The ball was in pocket 4.

    [4] East:0 West:0

  8. (From now on I will refer to the Stationary Roulette rounds as 'SRR', followed by the number and the side dealing)

    SRR1-West:

    Table

    [1] East:0 West:11

    [2] East:0 West:10

    [3] East:0 West:10

    [4] East:0 West:10

  9. It appears there was some confusion, so I'll allow the first round, but in the future:

    No power-playing, as stated in the Round 5 rules, only the player in the battle may play in the battle. I will only count a forfeit if a player does not respond, not if they are confused about a rule and make an invalid play.

    I will reveal the pocket and the corresponding coin distribution, in order to make sure all the bets are valid, etc.

  10. Gun has been loaded and spun. Virtual coin toss has determined that Panther (Western Army) will go first.

    Please indicate your choice of 'shoot' or 'pass' and the corresponding value below:

    Table:

    Framm: 0

    Panther: 0
