The Hagia Sofia, or "Holy Wisdom", served as a prominent house of worship for almost 1500 years before being converted into a museum. Today we are going to be testing your wisdom and your ability to read your tribemates.

Under the spoiler bar is a list of questions. Your job is to answer each question, not with what you think the correct answer is, but with what you think the majority of players will say the answer is. You will get one point for each player that gives the same answer as you. At the end, the player with the most points will be awarded immunity.

So, let's say one of the questions is "Which moderator is the most handsome?" Obviously, it's me, so I would be tempted to answer with "Herodotus". However, if I've heard three other players talking about how handsome Thucydides is and those three all answer "Thucydides", then I would only get one point (because I was the only one who said "Herodotus") and they would all get three points (because there were three players who answered "Thucydides"). So if I suspect they will say "Thucydides", then I want to answer "Thucydides" as well, even though it is objectively wrong, because then I (and the other three) will get four points.

List of Questions!


In the event of a tie, the player who had their name put down the most times as an answer to the last question will win immunity. If that's also a tie, then I'm not sure what will happen because I didn't plan this out very well and I guess I'll play it by ear. Let's hope for no ties.

If you have any questions, ask them here. If you won an advantage earlier in the game and wish to use it, please post something to that effect in your confessional.

Oh, and don't discuss answers with other players!

That should be a given, but just in case I'm saying it now.

Do we need to restate the question or can we just list our answers in order?

can the answers to questions about players include those that have been voted out, or should they pertain only to those still in the tribe?

Depends on how you think other players will answer!

Will you post what our responses are so everyone can see them or will you only put the number of matches? I guess I'm asking if people are going to see what you put because that could put a target on your back.

I will announce how many points each answer was worth, as well as which players got the majority score for that question. Then at the end I'll give a grand total for each player.

The juror is a person who has been voted off and will vote for the winner?

The answers go in one's confessional right?

Oops. Edited that in.

In my defense that was a lot of typing and counting.
