Damn it. Tomorrow, March 9th.

In retrospect I should have included today as an option in the time poll, but apparently I don't know how calendars work and it's too late to repoll everybody again.

It gives us a small break to breath at least. ;)

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:

Also, if anybody cares, here are some of the questions that didn't get used. I'm aware some of them are awful; I was gambling that somebody would get eliminated and we'd go to the next tier before I had to use them.
