Trivia round #3

Heck yeah easy money.

28327: The_Squished_Elf - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 3:00 AM

Smile seems pretty desperate to out this person, lol. Methinks they aren't quite sure themselves.

28328: noname - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 4:37 AM

Darn it, this is the second page in a row that I've pressed "next" immediately upon finishing because I'm so invested and excited to see what's next, it totally slips my mind that I'm already up-to-date...

28329: I'll guess it's ORANGE - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 6:00 AM

The ORANGE player (the gangster in jeans and leather jacket) has been doing or saying nothing interesting in the comic this entire time. By dramatic logic it's time for him to come up, I'll wager it's him.

28330: someone - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 7:01 AM

conveniently, no tobi questions. if that's how it works, anyway.

28331: Zed - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 7:02 AM

Don't we already have a rough idea who has how much money? Couldn't one of you smart lads put that together and see who would be first place upon doubling?

28332: TheMegax - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 7:18 AM

Orange is the one who died. Mr Infinite...

28333: Some guy - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 7:22 AM

@I'll guess it's ORANGE

Orange was Infinite. Going to be rather hard for him to speak up.

28334: Paintr - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 7:39 AM

That's a nice theory about Smile not being sure themselves. This experiment is increasingly looking like it was hidden and mysterious moments.

28335: TheMegax - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 7:43 AM

I can bite into that theory though. The gang guy could be related to a enemy band of Infinite's. But their relationship was kind of chill for that to be the case

28336: Agent_Cook - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 8:07 AM

Honestly, it could be anyone but Tobi.
Still, itt's true mr. Yellow has not received much attention in the whole game. Then again, neither has Maria.

28337: Zed - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 8:22 AM

@The_Squished_Elf

But that wouldn't make sense. If SMILE didn't know who it was, how could they give Infinite the hidden rule that somebody joined under false pretenses to begin with? And how would they judge whether the guess in this quiz is correct or not?

28338: UnknownID - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 8:32 AM

Poor Tobi, but 0 * 2 = 0 ...

28339: Sporf - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 9:06 AM

I was thinking Levin was the "false pretense" guy, but blue anchor gangster is a good narrative choice. Incidentally Bindi is too. Perhaps she is a government spy that was spying on infinite.

28340: Tom - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 9:25 AM

Hooo boi, we went from world building to mind-fucking.

Levin not answering has two possibilities:

1 - He's the person, won't oust himself.

2 - He really doesn't know (which is weird, since he's very cunning and well-learned).

28341: Whim - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 9:53 AM

I feel like Maria asking this question at all makes her pretty suspicious, right? I'd hit the buzzer and take a chance that it's her.

28342: someone - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 12:50 PM

So, it doubles the gambler's winnings if the answer is accurate.

Levin says it'd give him a total of 10 millions.

Maria then asks if the person outing themselves would get the full 10 millions.

Now I've gone through the previous questions and tallied each correct answer. I've considered Suit Smile voted correctly to the omen questions (he's not shown among the winners, but there's only five chibi pictures of winners, six of losers, his face is missing entirely, and Screen Smile said there were as many winners as losers). I've also considered that during round #2, disagreeing with a wrong answer did not net any point, mostly because the question is repeated (which would make it count double) and neither Levin nor Global Order Guy counted their hypothetical earnings from having disagreed with Three and then with Levin.

Based on that, here's my table:
Black Suit Smile 1
Blue #1 Paladin Shalhia 4
Blue #2 Jay-Jay 1
Brown Officer Housten 3.5
Green GlobalOrderGuy 5.5
Grey Three 2
Pink Maria 1
Purple Jerkface Levin 5
Red Tobi 0
Tan Bindy 0.5
White Fox 1
Yellow Gang member 1

So there is only one person who could earn 10 millions by outing themselves, and it's Levin. Maria kind of betrayed her suspicion here. Green would earn 11 millions, Shalhia 8, Housten 7, and so on.

Bindy's score is kind of pathetic.

28343: Author's Note - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 1:15 PM

Small edit:
Maria's comment is supposed to be 5 million, referring to the money given for identifying the person in question.

28345: TheMegax - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 3:13 PM

For some reason I think Bindy is the one who joined under false pretense. Maybe she was encouraged by Infinite to participate and he fabricated proof of something for Smile (Perhaps saying that Bindy has magic powers?). Smile later realized and decided to keep it as a "bonus" for the other participants.
Whatever it is, Smile sure wants an oddly specific group of people for their "experiment".

28346: someone - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 3:31 PM

But Smile talks about doubling (or halving, for wrong answers) the money accrued in rounds 1 & 2, not a bonus 5 millions.

Like say Bindy answers a question correctly, does she get 500 000 (doubling her gains) or 5 000 000?

28347: Kiithnaras - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 7:16 PM

Seems kind of raw that Tobi can't even compete. Identifying this person would grant her a huge amount of bonus money even though her question-based winnings are still zero.

Even so, Pink/Maria's demeanor and question seems to be a bit of a projection, implying that she is indeed the guilty party. Very tactless.

28348: t - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 8:35 PM

by "someone"'s count, and by the text of the final panel,
Officer, Levin and Paladin can jump to first place by doubling (the scientist is already on first place)

We already know the Paladin's background, and Levin would probably be okay with making himself an even bigger mark as he compulsively enjoys being hated/targeted.

So it's probably officer Brown? It would explain why a police officer is in the game.

28349: Thursday - Wednesday, October 27 2021 - 9:07 PM

OH JEEZ WHAT IF LEVIN IS THE ONE WHO JOINED UNDER FALSE PRETENSES?

28371: Some guy - Thursday, October 28 2021 - 2:41 PM

@Kiithnaras
Tobi would get a grand total of nothing regardless of whether she answers correctly or incorrectly. It's a multiplier, not a bonus 5 million prize, and Tobi has no winnings in this game to multiply.
