Your layout is dark blue. OMG AWESOME.
And, in case you havent noticed, you can block layouts. So if you think it sucks, it doesnt have to. |

Obviously.
Two things:
Your layout sucks. That's number one.
Secondly, stop making useless posts. It's the second consecutive one you've made in this thread.
I'll get to it when I have the time and when I want to. Meanwhile, try out some other good games which are currently going on or ... start your own.
Novel. I'm not yet done with this show, but right now ... I'm not that interested in maintaining it regularly.
Now, go away so this thread can accumulate spiderwebs in peace. |

Well, either answer this thread or close it because obviously Teddylot has ignored and forgotten this thread. |

You could at least have the decency to tell us who was right.  |

Forever.
Actually, I think the real question is ... 'why should you care?"
I mean, after all, it's just a game ... for leisure ... for both sides. I'll get to it when I have the time and when I want to. Meanwhile, try out some other good games going on or ... start your own. |

This may be stupid but did all the employees that matched the description have alibis? like, were they installing the new water heater and couldn't have been there? |

But we dont know how long it was on before he got in the shower. |

What I was getting at was that there was one hot water heater for the building, and in order for it to be working, it'd need to be turned on enough to heat the whole building. In any case, it still wasn't on for long enough after the power or gas was on to cause the steam to come out of the shower... |

Well the building wouldn't need to be heated first... but the water heater would need to be turned on long enough for the water to get hot. Otherwise, no steam. If the power just came on, then the water heater definitely wouldn't have been on long enough. |

I thought the "burglar" would have read the notice while the elevators are working... |

Although thats probably the answer, I am thinking he didnt even get in @ precisely 6 for one, and I usually let my water run for a while before even getting in so there is steam. I dunno, thats why that didnt stand out to me, but its probably the answer.
My guess is the elevators. He said the burglars could read the notices in them, but if the power is off the elevators wont open, so they wouldnt be able to read it and therefore wouldnt know about it being shut off. |

I can't see how the shower was hot enough to generate steam that quickly after the gas and power were turned on. Wouldn't the entire building need to be heated first? |

Teddylot: Cool, we're back.
Announcer: And I bet you're wondering why we're back so soon. So are we.
Teddylot: Normally, we just leave this thread to rot for a week or two and then come back. In extreme cases, we let it bask in the sun for months and when we come back, the thread has a spiffy tan.
Announcer: But we just downloaded that "Pulse" thingamajigar ... is that right? Anyway, we kinda have a need to type, so ...   here we are, updating our game show.
Teddylot: Quite an interesting motivator, huh?

Question ProjectDolphin:
Ari Gant turned to Shadow and said, "You must have seen the notice in the elevator that the gas and power would be turned off from midnight until six this morning. The problem is that burglars also read these notices. Anyway, I woke up at ten to six and thought I heard somebody in my apartment. I lit a candle and checked around but didn't see anything unusual. Just then, the power came on, so I decided to shower and go to the office early. I was in the shower for maybe two minutes when I heard another strange noise. I peered around the shower curtain and saw a man walk past the bathroom door. I couldn

He doesnt take the camel back from anyone. There is one left over. Did you think 9+6+2=18? Good math. 9+6+2 is 17, then the remaining camel that no one got goes back to the guy. |

Waiting for one of the camels to give birth to an 18th camel? |

That works, but how does he decide who to take the camel back from? |

Just a side note, this problem also works with 19... and the ratios of 1/2, 1/4, and 1/5.
