| *cue theme song* Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and Girls! Hacker and Neko Wannabees! One and all, welcome tooooooooooo MindTrap, *applause* and here's your host . . . Teddylot! A small bear around the size of two feet shuffled onto the stage from behind the red curtain. He waved to the audience, then made his way up to his custom designed podium, while using quite a few phonebooks to reach the microphone. Teddylot: Testing, Testing, one, two, four, sixty six, one hundred and twenty four. Can you all here me? Good! Hey, if you're hard of hearing, I'm Teddylot, your host. For those of you first joining us, welcome to MindTrap: a game of classic puzzles, murder mysteries, conundrums, (whatever that means) and trick questions that'll "Challenge the Way You Think!" Now, this is a game where everybody and anybody can participate, that is, except for those who are banned. *cue laughter* Anyway, here's the drill. I will give you a series of questions one by one, each one worth a certain amount of points. The questions will appear on this wonderful, gazillion inch, plasma screen TV. *red curtain moves away revealing the screen, while the audience "ooo"s and "awe"s over it* The goal of the game is to answer the questions I give you. Simple enough? Good! Here's the first quesion: Question 1: Gary Gladhand, the politician, was very tired after a long day of campaigning. He went to bed at 10 p.m., wound his alarm clock and set it for noon the next day. Since Gary fell asleep almost immediately, how many hours of sleep did he get before the alarm woke him? Teddylot: Sounds simple enough. Oh, and be aware, the name, description, questions, and catch phrase of this game are all copyrighted to Pressman Toy Corp. located in New York City, New York. Thanks Pressman! Let's take a small commercial break! Announcer: This show was written in the sanctity of Teddylot's home, and brought to by Mitsuchevy, "it's really just more than you need," the Grace Centers of Hope "We help people!", and readers like you. *air tampon commercial, and preview shows such as the possibly upcoming second Story Forum Survivor: Easter Island. Oh, and our sponsors' commercial as well* *cue theme song* Teddylot: Hey there everybody! Welcome back to MindTrap! Now, if you'd like to participate in this game, just post. Oh, and be sure to introduce yourself, so this show's readers can't get to know you better. For those of you just joining us, once again, here's the question: Question 1: Gary Gladhand, the politician, was very tired after a long day of campaigning. He went to bed at 10 p.m., wound his alarm clock and set it for noon the next day. Since Gary fell asleep almost immediately, how many hours of sleep did he get before the alarm woke him? |

NO! He wound up the clock, set it to noon, got a cup of water at 6, then hit the alarm clock off, and slept til 5, cause that's what politicians do!  And you can just ask the questions without all the shinnannigans  |

| Teddylot, while still keeping his television perfect smile in expert condition, walked over to Jarukoth's side and whacked him on the back of the head. Thus, he returned back! Teddylot: You wrong! Oh, and didn't I say I wanted an introduction, hmmm? Yeah, *checks* I thouhgt so. Announcer: Jarukoth is WRONG! Good job for trying though! Teddylot: He doesn't mean it. Anyway, I did forget a rule, however. Next time, try and provide a reason for your answer. Thank you. EDIT: Teddylot: No, these shinnana-whatevers are needed because I say so. Oh, and next time, try and answer the question. *mad* (edited by Teddylot on 05-15-04 02:49 PM) |

| Teddylot: . . . that's correct! DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING! *confetti falls all over geeogree* Teddylot: Hmm, looks like no one's in a storying style mood today. Anyway, announcer how're the points coming along? Announcer: Well, Teddylot take a look at the big screen! Points: Geeogree -- 1 Point Teddylot: Wow! Isn't that something, folks? Well, anyway, that makes Geeogree the first one to break the zero-point barrier. Congratulations! Next question, then. Question 2: Professor Quantum was giving a lecture on 'The Life of the Aristocracy in the 19th Century'. "It was during a large festive gathering of nobility," began Quantum, "when a fairly common occurrence took place. The Queen suddenly attacked and killed the King. The crowd watched the entire scene and then casually continued the party. In what situation in the 19th century would a crowd be so casual about the Queen killing the King?" Teddylot: Hmm, good stuff. Well, come on peeps! Let's get to answering this question! Oh, and don't forget your intros next time. |

Teddylot: Woah! We go out into the stratosphere with this far out reply. Nice thinking though . . . I guess.  Announcer: NSNick is WRONG! Teddylot: That's right, but I liked the answer though. Anyway, these are actual people, not insects. Next answer, please. |

| Teddylot: Yay! *throws confetti around* We've got another point on the board. Announcer! Please do the honors! Announcer: *types* Points: Geeogree -- 1 Point NSNick -- 1 Point Announcer: And Just for the heck of it, those who tried, but failed. Screen of Shame: Kefka -- 0 Points Jarukoth -- 0 Points Teddylot: Looks like this game is coming along quite nicely. Now, announcer, pop that third question onto the board. Question 3: What substance weighs more in its liquid form than in its solid form? Teddylot: Looks like this question has to do with something you do or do not know. Well, buzz in if you know the answer. Announcer: And for those of you just now joining us, it is highly suggested that you introduce yourselves before giving your answers. Teddylot: Thank you. Announcer: No problem. Teddylot: Oh yes, don't forget to prove/explain your answer. =D (edited by Teddylot on 05-15-04 06:47 PM) |

| Teddylot: I'm sorry, Kirby ATW, but that question is . . . Announcer: WRONG! Teddylot: Exactly! These questions aren't really lateral thinking, ATW. There is only one substance whose liquid weighs more than its solid form. Oh, and this all has to take place on Earth. No stupid planets! |

I can have you removed from this game in a snap, for I have a security team made up of ex-professional wrestlers and guys with hammers and-- Announcer: Here's the question again: Question 3: What substance weighs more in its liquid form than in its solid form?

| Teddylot: Yes, yes you are. Announcer: WRONG! Teddylot: STOP IT! Announcer: Oh! Teddylot: Personally, I think this is getting pretty lame. I now enact, the TIME LIMITE RULE! *echo* Yes, the brand, shiny new, time limit rule. Basically, you all have two days from the point the question is asked, to answer it. If it is not answered by this time, it will be put in the reserve for another day. Announcer: Keep the answers rollin' though! |

| Hi there. I go by Jagori, and I'm a professional musician from Canada. The substance that's heavier in liquid form than solid form, at least for equal volumes: water! (edited by Jagori on 05-15-04 10:12 PM) |

| Yup, it's water. Too bad I wasn't here earlier. Oh well, I'll explain the answer anyway: Ice floats in water, that's an extremely easy way to tell that it is less dense, and therefore weighs less than it's liquid form. | |||

| Teddylot: Score by Music Man, Jagori from Canada! *confetti* Announcer: Here are the current standings! Points: Geeogree -- 1 Point NSNick -- 1 Point Jagori -- 1 Point Screen of Shame: Kefka -- 0 Points Jarukoth -- 0 Points Kirby ATW - 0 Points Teddylot: Remember everybody! Ice floats in water! Announcer: I don't think anybody would've thought of that! Teddylot: Who cares? On with the next question. Question 4: Miss Goodbody has a box of socks in her closet containing 24 red socks and 24 green socks. Since the closet is completely dark, what is the smallest number of socks she has to remove in order to be certain of getting two socks of different colours? Teddylot: Pfft, easy! If anybody guesses and gets this question wrong, I think I'll have to label him "stupid" or something! Yeesh! |
