Congratulations, everyone, we have now entered the Classical Era! Go ahead, take some time to chat with your new tribemates, and enjoy the beauty of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. In the Civilization games the Hanging Gardens can be constructed after the discovery of mathematics, so for this round we are going to be testing your aptitude with numbers.

For this challenge, we have created three mathematical rules. All you have to do is pick a rule and a set of three numbers, and we'll inform you of whether or not that set of numbers satisfies the rule. You may make multiple tests at once if you wish, and we've also gone ahead and given you a few successful tests for each rule to get you started. Once you're confident you know what the rule is, simply post your guess. Whichever tribe correctly guesses all three rules using the fewest total tests wins. Each incorrect guess adds an extra two tests to the final tally. In the event of a tie, whichever tribe had the fewest incorrect guesses wins the challenge.

EXAMPLE

1, 2, 3 - Yes
2, 3, 4 - Yes
5, 1, 2 - No
6, 7, 8 - Yes

Rule: Numbers increase by 1.

Here are the first tests to get you started.

Rule 1
1, 2, 3 - Yes
2, 4, 6 - Yes
3, 6, 9 - Yes

Rule 2
1, 4, 9 - Yes
10, 9, 8 - Yes
6, 10, 12 - Yes

Rule 3
1, 2, 7 - Yes
3, 3, 4 - Yes
5, 0, 5 - Yes

Remember, only one tribe will win immunity. The other two will go to Tribal Council. Deadline is 49.5 hours. If you have any questions, ask them here.

Let's do this like Challenge 3 with a thread for discussion and a thread for guesses/tests.

Alright, let's get to the results! First off, we have the Western Hemisphere!

The Western Hemisphere took...


The next tribe...


Finally, we have the score of...


Now that we only have three tribes, you guys are all on your own; your tribe and your tribe alone will be casting votes in your TC. Good luck, and congrats again to our winning tribe!

EDIT: Fixed a typo in one of the scores.
