I have to hand it to you, @Spaghetti by the Sea! ...What is a PTA for the Flash Fight? Thanks! Also, it's the Per Theater Average (PTA). Basically, the challenge is to predict the PTA for the five movies mentioned, or their grosses divided by the number of theatres it is in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 FLASH FIGHT #1: Spaghetti: We had 11 people volunteer for the flash fight: @4815162342 @Arlborn @Eevin @chasmmi @elcaballero @DAJK @slambros @AABATTERY @BourneFan #1 @CoolEric258 @That One Guy The Rockin' Robots had the highest percentage of team members participate. The Toons had four, but seven members. The robots only only had six. Congrats team! Elcaballero: Woo hoo! Now let's try to get EVERYONE to participate next time. *Glaring at Ethan Hunt and YourMother* Ethan Hunt: I figured we were set. Didn't want to risk us losing the points. Spaghetti: Anyways, their challenge is to dive into this deep pit of water, collect one of 9 gold coins, and return to shore. Hopefully without dying. I figure if we're paying tribute to Beauty and the Beast this weekend, The Little Mermaid feels easily fitting. DAJK: Piece of cake, right? Slambros: Uhh....yeah, totally. BourneFan#1: Wish me luck, Toons! CoolEric258: There's not enough to go around! I need it more! BourneFan#1: You do realize we're supposed to work together, right? CoolEric258: Oh yeah, for now. MUAHAHAHAHAHA AABATTERY: I'm starting to agree with Fancyarcher. Numbers: Uh.....Goffe? A hand please! Arlborn: Don't worry, buddy, he's got a lot of confidence in you. Just not as much as me. Enjoy second! First is mine! Eevin: Please please please don't let me drown. Spaghetti: And.....go! *The 11 dive in.* Wrath: I won a lot of tournaments in this kind of stuff by doing nothing at all. You'd be surprised how effective it is. WrathOfHan: We could have gotten the participation score? But noooooooo you had to be all boring and analytical. Wrath: *pulls a knife to WrathOfHan's neck* You were saying? WrathOfHan: Uhhhh.....point made! CONFESSIONAL - WrathOfHan: Wrath scares me. But I actually respect him a lot. For some reason. CONFESSIONAL - Ethan Hunt: With luck, chasmmi drowns, I take over the team's power structure. We win. CONFESSIONAL - RandomJC: I really should have gone down the cave. I could have totally nailed it. Spaghetti: Hold on, what's this, the first person is returning. *Someone resurfaces, it is......* BourneFan#1: Whew, we did it! *RandomJC, JJ-8, and Fancyarcher begin to cheer.* Wait, I won?!?! Spaghetti: Yes you did! Dry off and celebrate with your team! CONFESSIONAL - BourneFan#1: *fangirling uncontrollably* Spaghetti: Looks like Numbers is resurfacing too! Good job, mate! Numbers: Looks like I got second place. Impressive. Goffe: Just as Arlborn predicted. The kid may not be messing around. Numbers: *looks down* pretty sure he is. Spaghetti: I digress. Numbers and BourneFan both get prizes for their team. The race is now on not to get penalized. That One Guy: YAY! THIRD PLACE!!!!! Spaghetti: Uh...only the top two get prizes. That One Guy: AW FUCK!!!! Chasmmi: Fourth, and suck it, Ethan! Spaghetti: Uh....these are silver coins. Chasmmi: No! My eyesight betrays me! I have failed everyone! Everyone! Ladies, please forgive me! Please!!!! Spaghetti: SHUT UP! Just be in fourth place. AABATTERY: Number five's about to arrive! Elcaballero: Six! We're still in it! Eevin: Seven! Phew, we made it! Spaghetti: 4 coins left. Only Arlborn, CoolEric258, DAJK, and Slambros haven't resurfaced. *Slambros resurfaces* Slambros: Phew! I thought I was gonna die down there! YourMother: We're glad you're okay. Just give us the coin! Slambros: Uh....I was just going up for air. YourMother: Ugh. DAJK: Got it! YourMother: There's only one coin left, hurry! *Slambros dives down again. His foot snags on a rock, and he is stuck. Slambros: *gurgling* Oh no! CoolEric258: The coins are in the cavern wall! I'll smash them out! Arlborn: Wow, good luck with that, weirdo. CoolEric258: WEIRD. THINGS. ALWAYS. WORK. *Suddenly, the wall breaks open. We see Creech from Monster Trucks. He gives Eric a coin.* CoolEric258: Thanks, buddy! Up we go! Arlborn: What. Slambros: The. All: FUCK! CoolEric258: Yep, got the last coin. A monster gave it to me, you're welcome. Arlborn: This is a rigged game! I demand a recount! There's gotta be another way! Numbers: You were right, I did get second. 50% wrong is better than 100% wrong. Arlborn: EEVIN. LET'S ALLIANCE THIS GUY OUTTA HERE!!!! ChipMunky: Stop! We're on the same team! Only thing is, is Slambros okay? Wrath: The surface is bubbling, he's gotta be stuck! I'm on it. *He dives in and rescues Slambros.* Slambros: Wrath! You saved me! Wrath: Of course, I want to win this fair and square. Now let's get you back to your team. *They all glare at Slambros.* CONFESSIONAL - Slambros: Man, I really botched that challenge. I guess I should start packing my bags. CONFESSIONAL - Arlborn: This is only a temporary embarrassment. I'll be back, and I'm getting revenge!!! CONFESSIONAL - Fancyarcher: Slambros is exactly why I didn't do this challenge. The key is picking your battles. Spaghetti: And that's our first flash fight. Remember that the first weekend challenge predictions are due tomorrow at 11:59PM EST! I will only accept answers via PM!
