The Wishing Well - THE END!

Justin said:
Sorry that the labyrinth appears to be bugged for some people on some devices -- I was able to recreate the issue on one of my mobile devices, but it works fine on my computer. If you have multiple devices, try another.

Unfortunately, Mistreil is on vacation at the moment, so I'm not sure they'll be able to fix it up in a timely manner or not. Thankfully, this is a community challenge, so those of you with trouble will just have to freeload off other people's efforts! ;)


To be honest, I don't think we've discussed or decided that definitively yet, so I can't commit to saying yes for sure at this moment.

To make it up to us, maybe we can knock the goals down by a couple thousands? 😅

I'm gonna take care of all the math problems for serena and edit them in this post, answers coming!

The location is the south pole, which is 90*S 45*E, 90+45 = 135
Answer: 135
(although, there is actually a second answer to this riddle! You can start a little bit south of the north pole, walk up towards the north pole (still be south of it) and walk around the earth where the circle you'd be walking's circumference is 5 miles, bringing you back to where you started before going south (it's like a lasso shape)
(56*0.65 + 14*0.8 + 15*1.5)*2/3, rounding up -> 47
Answer: 47
edit: oops! forgot about number of tires, should be 131
Your chances of winning after switching are 2/3, 2/3*200 = 133
Answer: 133
(this was a question on my first year stats final :p basically, there's a 2/3 chance that the prize is behind a door you didn't choose, and when the host narrows it down to just 1 door you didn't choose possibly holding the prize, it leaves that sole door you didn't choose with a 2/3 chance of holding the prize)
Answer: 241
might wanna check my math on this one though
45 ft by 39 ft, -6 on each side cuz the 3ft path is on all sides of the garden
so 39*33 is total area being worked with
pond is pi*16^2 of that (cube root of the number is 32, that's the diameter, radius is half that so 16)
total non-pond area is 33*39 - pi*16^2
divide by 2 to get grassy area 241
9.81 is grav on earth, 1.62 is grav on moon. ratio them with his earth weight to get 23 lbs ((1.62/9.81)*140)
Answer: 23
I'm not sure tbh! but there's a finite number of answers so we should be ok either way. my gut says 200$ cuz the odds of a 50/50 split are incredibly low

edit: also incorrect! they said mass, and mass is constant, so still 140

Number 5 is incorrect here. It should be 140,

I rushed a little so could be wrong :p but for people who want to skip the mathing, here's a mirror for you!

I did this in MS Word 😅

Just reminding everybody of what I had posted near the end of Round 4:

I doubt the staff changed it since I posted, but I'll be sure to update it if they did. I was able to get ~400 fairy dust last round, so I think 25,200 cumulatively, as daunting as it seems, is definitely doable now that we have a better understanding of how exactly we're able to get fairy dust, in addition to this, uh, weird mirror thing and new Labyrinth.

I really appreciate that you compiled and explained this so neatly. Mega thanks 🙏
 
oh wow 😨 those goals are harder to achieve than anything I imagined. Well, I better get going with the dust collection.
 
Those potions are beyond lovely, must finish my homework asap to try helping with the challenges!! >'0
