Alright, today we will be visiting the Leaning Tower of Pisa. To get the immunity idol, all you have to do is make it to the top of the tower and grab it! Simple, right?
Unfortunately, the tower is pretty tall. And we have a lot of people in our group. If too many people climb the tower at once, our weight will affect the tower's center of gravity and we'll risk destroying the tower. And after what Thucydides did to the bells of Notre Dame, I am not interested in having the UNESCO people mad at me again. Therefore, the higher up the tower we go, the smaller our group is going to become.
When the challenge starts, I am going to post a link to a chatroom. Go ahead and log into it with your character name, not your IRL one. I will ask a series of trivia questions that all have multiple answers. The catch is, there will always be one fewer valid answer than there are players, and each answer may only be used once. For example, let's say we had five players left in the game. I might ask "What are the traditional directions indicated by a weather vane?" Player A answers "North", Player B answers "South, Player C answers "North", Player D answers "East", Player C notices that his answer was already given by Player A and quickly types "West", and poor Player E typed too slow and gets a strike. Once a player has gotten two strikes, they are out of the challenge.
The last player remaining in the game will win immunity.
Outside resources ARE allowed, but keep in mind this is a race.
If there are any questions then you may ask them here.

It was a hard-fought battle, but Bismarck walked away with immunity!
For posterity, or if any jurors want to see how everything went down, here's a giant chatlog:
Challenge 15 Herodotus started the chat DaGipperx420x joined the chat DaGipperx420x: MR HERODOTUS TEAR DOWN THIS WALL Herodotus: Evening, Mr. President. Reagan joined the chat Reagan: Evening Gandhi joined the chat Herodotus: Evening, Gandhi. Gandhi: Evening Herodotus: Hopefully people show up on time. Gandhi: We can hope Bismarck joined the chat Bismarck: South! Herodotus: Hello, Bismarck. Bismarck: do i win? Herodotus: Oh, you've won all right. Herodotus: You've won more than you bargained for! Bismarck: woo-hoo! Reagan: Quite a dismal turnout so far, I must say. Roosevelt joined the chat Herodotus: I'll send out a round of FB prods. Reagan: I have Siri as my lifeline. So I doubt I'm going to get any of them right? Roosevelt: I'm here Herodotus: But not to Roosevelt! Reagan: "Siri, what are the cardinal directions." Reagan: *doo dot* "Here are places you can buy tickets for the Arizona Cardinals" Bismarck: "The St. Louis Cardinals are a professional major league baseball team" Reagan: lol Herodotus: I hate using Siri for directions. Victoria joined the chat Reagan: That's a good way to get where you don't want to go. Justinian joined the chat Reagan: Everyone's got pretty colors. Herodotus: 'Sup, Justinian? Reagan: Good job with the colors, all. Victoria: Hello everyone! Justinian: We are the most aswesome bag of skittles! Herodotus: Vicki should be on her way. Justinian: Hello! Herodotus: Oops, and there she is. Roosevelt: i am sorta working at the same time...is that going to be a big issue? Reagan: This is more important. Reagan: Unless you are an air traffic controller. Herodotus: I'll give a countdown prior to each question, so you should be fine. Reagan: Then it's a bit of a toss up. Herodotus: Isabella isn't responding. Give me one second to try one more thing. Reagan: This is a great idea for a challenge btw big grin Herodotus: I hope it goes well. Herodotus: Writing trivia questions for an event where you WANT everybody to know the answers is surprisingly hard. Justinian: A challenge for you too good sir! Victoria: A great challenge for you! Reagan: While we wait, anyone got a good song stuck in their heads? Reagan: I've got "take me home tonight" stuck in mine. Justinian: I have a horrible one... Gandhi: Now I do too... thanks Herodotus: Alright, I'm going to give her 5 minutes and then I guess we'll just start without her. Reagan: lol Reagan: Glad I can be of service. Roosevelt: Happy Days are Here Again is a good one Herodotus: I don't have anything stuck in my head now, but I did have "Wild Wild West" stuck in my head a few days ago. Victoria: I have a horrible song stuck in my head. No one wants to hear it. Gandhi: Haven't heard that one in a long time Justinian: Justin Bieber Love Yourself..... Herodotus: The worst part is, I have never seen the movie Wild Wild West, nor do I know any lyrics other than "Wild Wild West". Reagan: No shame in the beibs game. Justinian: I heard it in a store. :_( Stupid brain washing. Reagan: I actually like of like that movie. guilty pleasure I guess. Reagan: *kind of like Justinian: I own it, it's rather funny. xD Herodotus: A friend once told me not to bother seeing it, as listening to the song would tell me everything I needed to know and save me a lot of time. Reagan: This is true Justinian: True words indeed Victoria: You can keep bieber and I will see you the gummy bear song. If you don't know it look it up on YouTube Reagan: Alternatively you can just watch this Reagan Eric Cartman - Wild Wild West SongYouTube · · 25K · 98%South Park: Season 3, Episode 7 Cat Orgy (14 July 1999) Liane: Eric, the babysitter's here. Come on downstairs. Cartman: But mmmooom, I'm playing Wild Wild West. Liane: I have to leave soon, Eric. Cartman: But mom, me and Artemus Clyde Frog still have to do our love scene with Salma Ha-yek.
