    My apologies Team 2 my awful score of 2 dragged us down!

    I feel like I'm in a parallel universe where people know the answers to these questions and I'm mostly reading going huh? I knew a few from Team 3s questions, lol

    Welcome to Game 4.

    Welcome to:

    Glass Bridge:

    Untitled Image

    On the Glass Bridge there are 10 Steps – 1 for each remaining player.

    All players will answer the same set of True or False questions.

    However, the order in which players tackle the Glass Bridge is randomised and one person’s answers may get everyone across the bridge if they have all ten correct.

    However, one wrong step and they are ELIMINATED.

    It will then be up to the second person in the order to try to answer the questions correctly from the spot that the person in front of them failed, and so on and so forth until we reach the tenth player.

    Don't understand it? Don't worry - just answer all the questions and let me do the rest.

    You can all survive this game, or you can all be ELIMINATED.

    Next I will reveal the set of questions you all need to answer.

    They're cruel questions. 😂

    For me for some questions, it about eliminating what is definitely wrong and then seeing what is left.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 57,745 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I will not be revealing the order in which players will tackle the bridge until all answers have been submitted, as it might put added pressure on those who may be at the top of the list and make others lower in the list complacent.

    You should all answer the questions as if you will be going first, would be my advice.

    Good luck all!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭StrawbsM


    Answers in. Most are pure random guesses 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,972 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Yay, go team 1 💪

    And stunning work rainbowtrout!

    Very clever next round Necro, like it 👏

    Just in from football, need a shower and a beer then I'll tackle the questions 🙈



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 57,745 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    As always, audience answers are more than welcome alongside the players.

    I forgot to add in our audience answers for Game 3, I'll do that tomorrow when I'm back on the laptop again 🙂

    Right. Here we go with Game 4 - The Glass Bridge

    Untitled Image

    A reminder of the rules, and the contestants:

    On the Glass Bridge there are 10 Steps – 1 for each remaining player.

    All players will answer the same set of True or False questions.

    However, the order in which players tackle the Glass Bridge is randomised and one person’s answers may get everyone across the bridge if they have all ten correct.

    However, one wrong step and they are ELIMINATED.

    It will then be up to the second person in the order to try to answer the questions correctly from the spot that the person in front of them failed, and so on and so forth until we reach the tenth player.

    Don't understand it? Don't worry - just answer all the questions and let me do the rest.

    You can all survive this game, or you can all be ELIMINATED.

    Please welcome to the stage our remaining contestants, in alphabetical order:

    @cee_jay

    @davetherave

    @Electric Nitwit

    @Gru

    @Irish Aris

    @Kolido

    @lorcand1990

    @Nothing surprises me now

    @rainbowtrout

    @StrawbsM

    In the next post I will reveal the order in which your questions will determine not just your own fate, but everyone else's as well. If Player 1 in the list has answered all 10 questions correctly, not only will they survive but everyone else will follow their path to survival also.

    However - if Player 1 gets just 1 question incorrect - it is game over for them, and we move to player 2 and the next question, and the pattern will be theirs to follow. So on and so forth until all questions are answered.
