Sounds like it doesn't matter TOO much which five of us do the challenge as long as we have a solid strategy. people will more league knowledge and good at strategy would probably be most helpful.

I'll put myself down as an alternate. I don't think this challenge matches up with my skill set well but if we need a 5th body I'll do the best that I can to be helpful.

I'm going to start making a database of sorts so it'll be easier to narrow down suspects once we start asking questions and know what type of questions to ask. Just so I can work on something rather than sitting here waiting. I don't have any bright ideas for question-asking yet. I'll think about it while I start a database :S.

If anyone know of any easy way to get data for a Champion database let me know - just data we can use to ask various distinguishing questions.

usually guess who is about narrowing down the heroes as efficiently as possible. Finding three champions presumably at the same time is an interesting twist though

First thought: we could narrow this down using the alphabet? "Does at least one champion's name start with the letter A?" etc. Obviously that question wouldn't be so efficient but we could use alphabetical order to ask about a certain number of champions

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_champions - wooo this will make things easier!

I have a vague idea of selecting a question that applies to 1/5 or 1/6 of the characters... and ask if 1 of them is X. If yes we narrowed one die to 1/6 of the group, if no, we just eliminated 1/6 of the group from being one of the suspects. Eliminating suspects will be very useful

There are 131 champions by my count
131/6 = 21 and five sixths

We could split them into groups of 22?

If we wanted to bet on three champions that won't be ones we're looking for, we could search in four groups of 32 with three left over. Once we find that a champion is in one of the groups, we could split the group evenly each time until we find the champion.

I don't like the idea of taking a bet, we could lose the whole thing if it is one of those three. Plus we want more than 4 groups, if we have 4 groups we'll likely get yes to 2 or 3 groups and we won't be narrowing down as many people with the same number of questions. I think we'll at least want to include the three into one of the groups.

If we do get it narrowed down to three distinct groups of 32 - I think we'll somehow be able to use the "are 2 of them X" and ask several of those questions to narrow it down with less questions than if we just simply did "is 1 X" and narrowed it by half each time.
