Race to a Billion -EVOLUTION- [ROUND 10] (Sign Ups Closed)

This is starting to get tight...in 15 tonight...



Ooh! A new square, that's INVALUABLE at this time. Through PM, you get to ask me one question about the current round, and I must respond truthfully. There are a couple of ground rules: it has to be a yes/no answer, and nothing regarding another player's Hidden Squares. So, whilst it's not money, you have the most powerful gift in the game: information.







ROUND I

Quickman: $4,900,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $6,774,999 (140% Boost, IMMUNITY, Math Time)
OrangeRight: $11,390,000 (Leap Of Faith)

Cowtao, you're next. Looking for about 5 million to take the lead. Is it in there?

#YOLO

18

That was quick! In 18...



With your multiplier, that's nearly a million!







ROUND I

Quickman: $4,900,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $7,754,999 (140% Boost, IMMUNITY, Math Time)
OrangeRight: $11,390,000 (Leap Of Faith)

Quickman, you're up next. With your new knowledge, what can you do?

---

Oh, cock, this is getting uncomfortably tight in the options department. I'll take number 9 and hope for a lot of money.

---

1/2 odds at most of bombing out...is there a bomb in 9?



NOPE! It's money!







ROUND I

Quickman: $5,300,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $7,754,999 (140% Boost, IMMUNITY, Math Time)
OrangeRight: $11,390,000 (Leap Of Faith)

Right, Cowtao, we have three squares. Due to the laws of probability, at least one of these squares is safe. At most two are bombs. Picking a safe square would really put the squeeze on Quickman...

---

7

---

Lucky 7...



It's not much, but it's not a bomb, so you gain a bit of cash, there. $175,000, in fact.







ROUND I

Quickman: $5,300,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $7,929,999 (140% Boost, IMMUNITY, Math Time)
OrangeRight: $11,390,000 (Leap Of Faith)

Right. This has gotten interesting....there are two squares remaining. As there were at most, five bombs, thanks to the Military Aid, the odds are on that both are bombs, BUT if two bombs were placed on the same square, you might have a chance. So...d'ya feel lucky?

---

It's funny how it's not "the chance of me picking a bomb" anymore, it's "the chance of me not being completely f**ked". There's only one chance for me, so I'll pick 24 and hope to God.

also if this isn't a bomb what happens when two people survive?

---

So...you chose 24. The odds are against you, sure but...it's not impossible that there are duplicates. Have you survived round 1?...



NO! It was just too good to be true! I'm afraid you lose $250,000 and have left the round. Thanks very much for playing round 1, that was an amazing run.







ROUND I

Quickman: $5,050,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $7,929,999 (140% Boost, IMMUNITY, Math Time)
OrangeRight: $11,390,000 (Leap Of Faith)

And so Cowtao is our Round 1 winner!! Right, let's work out your bonuses.

- You get a $10,000,000 win bonus that is untouched by boosters.
- You get a $1,000,000 bonus for every square remaining plus booster. That's 1 at 140%, so you get $1,400,000.

So, your win bonus is $11,400,000! Here comes the fun...

You can now, if you like, put this money on the line. The $7,929,999 you previously won, your minigame and booster are all safe. Nobody can take them from you. You can risk to give your win bonus back, and open Square 99. This is a special square, in that there are 5 seperate squares inside, containing the following scenarios:

- $25,000,000: Your win bonus becomes a flat $25,000,000!
- DOUBLE: Your win bonus is doubled to $22,800,000!
- MONEY BACK: Your win bonus remains at $11,400,000!
- HALF: Your win bonus is cut in half to $5,700,000!
- $1: Your win bonus goes down to a measly dollar! But as a consolation, you do get a random Hidden Square for the next round.

Those are your possibilities for Square 00. So Cowtao...with $11,400,000...will you take the Square, or the Stash?

---

I'm feeling dangerously today. I'm...


I am taking the square.

---

I now have game show PTSD and will never watch Deal Or No Deal? again.

A hearty congratulations to Cowtao, whom made me say 'oh fuck' out loud upon seeing he picked number 7 and getting in trouble with my dad. Bravo, good sir.

---

HE'S GONNA DO IT!

Feel free to play this suspensive music.

Right, let's open Square 99...



So, Cowtao, over $20,000,000 rides on this. Where to?

---

2

---

In 2...



NO! I'm sorry...but you only win a dollar. By way of apology, you also get a Hidden Square at the start of next round, so you will get an easier chance to earn money.

Where should he have gone?



If you'd have picked 1 or 4, you'd have done it. But I'm afraid you get the solitary dollar. So, you now have $7,930,000.

BUT, it's not over yet! You and OrangeRight have minigames to come! Your game of Math Time is coming up next!

---

hi. obligatory post for oni.

---

Right, it's time to play Math Time!

We play Math Time in FIVE rounds. The goal is to get the biggest equation, by picking the right square from each round. In each round we get the following:

Round 1: Cash, from $500k to $2.5m.
Round 2: 5 PLUSes, 2 MINUSes.
Round 3: Cash, from $100k to $1.5m.
Round 4: 4 TIMESes, 3 DIVIDEs.
Round 5: Numbers from 1-10.

You select one value from each round, we make a sum with it, and that is the amount of money you will win. Multiplied by 1.4, of course. If you're REALLY lucky, you could score 56 MILLION with this...

So, let's start with Round 1. Pick a number from 1-7!

---

Thank you all for waiting.

7

---

Eep, it's the second lowest square we have!



$600,000 [] [] [] [] =
Maximum win: $21,000,000 - Minimum win: -$1,900,000

Right, round 2 is the operations. There are five plus signs, and two minus signs. We REALLY want to see a plus here...

---

7

---

You got the plus!



$600,000 + [] [] [] =
Maximum win: $21,000,000 - Minimum win: $70,000

Round 3. More cash values. Can you get the $1.5m and keep the maximum alive?
