This thread will never archive as long as COSMO is active. "In a shocking twist, Emma the Live Chicken betrays the crew of Brahe to join the crew of Hubble just underneath, bound by her undying impatience and her emotional pains in the excitement of an upcoming challenge. Will 707 let her get away so easily? Will Hubble welcome her with warm and welcoming arms? Will David post a challenge by the end of the new week?
Find out tonight, only on COSMO."

We don't know what that means, but it sounds dangerous.
"A man is carrying three bowling balls with him in the woods when he comes across a bridge. There is a sign that says the bridge can hold 150 pounds. The man is 145 pounds and each bowling ball weighs 5 pounds. How can the man and all three balls get across at the same time?"
-Shnuffleluv
"He doesn't. Even if he were juggling the balls (the usual answer to this riddle), he'd have to produce an upward force greater than five pounds to toss a ball into the air. As such, he'd be producing an equal and opposite downward force on the bridge itself, thus exceeding the weight limit and breaking it."
-Black_Spider
"That's not how equal and opposite forces work, but I drew out a force diagram and I think that you're right that juggling wouldn't work. However, the way that I've seen this riddle is with a 98-pound person, three one-pound balls, and a bridge that can support one hundred pounds. Would juggling work then, since the collective weight of the person and one ball is less than the total weight that the bridge would support?"
-707Penguin
"Okay, so I got the terminology wrong, but yeah, you get the point... and yeah, provided the juggler is very careful with his throws and can keep two balls in the air at all times."
-Black_Spider
"Yeah, juggling. I think you guys looked to deep into this."
-Shnuffleluv
"If you really want to get technical, it might still be possible for him to get across simply by carrying all three of the balls, due to construction tolerances, but would likely cause permanent stress damage to the bridge."
-Black_Spider
"^^I wouldn't say so. The solution that you had in mind was simply wrong. "
-707Penguin
"Have we considered the possibility that he simply rolled the balls across first? They are bowling balls, they'd have enough momentum to make it across a bridge so small as to only support 150 pounds."
-Zapdos327
"Well, it DID say that they all crossed at the same time..."
-Black_Spider
"Yeah, I thought of that, but they wouldn't be able to cross at the same time. Also, what kind of bowling balls only weigh five pounds?"
-707Penguin
"You expect young children to be able to use a bowling ball that's 33% or more of their weight?
Wait, if the man sits on that side of the bridge and doesn't eat he'll start to lose weight. Once he's lost 10 pounds he can just carry all 3 of the bowling balls across. "
-ACWWFreakazoid
"Athough, he'll also be malnourished enough that he might actually faint on the bridge. And if it's so poorly constructed that it can't take more than 150 pound, I'm guessing there's no hand rails..."
-Black_Spider

"You expect young children to be able to use a bowling ball that's 33% or more of their weight? "
I expect children weighing less than twenty pounds to not go bowling. "

"It's not like they are playing to win this whole thing. Their cursed luck can take a turn for the worse sooner or later. As stated by {H} ACWWFreakazoid, we have a chance for a lil bit of payback time along the road." Now see, that's where you're falling short. You can't be thinking like that.
Friend, look at you. For the past two months now you've been in outer space for goodness sake. You've been stuck on a ship with a crowded 9 other people, sent off on a journey in a barren wasteland, and then was pushed right back into space. On the way there, you lost one of your teammates in the vast outer space, and had to find them to get them back. When you landed, you explored this cold wasteland for days hoping to find something pretty. You were even daring enough to explore aruins. And most sadly of all...you witnessed the loss of a team. The leave of a crew so close to our hearts, gone now but never forgotten. Galileo.
Why did you do all of this? This isn't fun and games, you've been stuck in cold outer space for several weeks now! You've barely been exposed to any other human civilization, you've been terrorized beyond a good night's rest more than once now, and my God, what is that crappy space food anyway?
We all know why you're here. You want to win.
You want to win.
And we ALL want to win. Every one of us here. EVERYONE HERE, signed up because they want to win. We aren't here to play. We're here to WIN.
You cannot tell me, that you have gone to that wasteland and back in that tiny space ship and you're doing it for the fun of it. You cannot tell me, that you went through that dead planet because you wanted to. No, we all know, you want the Star Chips.
Ah, those beautiful Star Chips. For a reason we've yet to identify, they define our very fate. Should we have the most by the time this journey is over, we win the adventure of COSMO. But should we have the least, and every second of every day should we be wondering so anxiously, "Is it today? Is this the day I join the stars with Galileo?"
You know we need those Star Chips to survive. And you know we need those Star Chips to win.
You know why we're here, [BR] SPLaser? WE'RE HERE TO WIN.
WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE WANT OUR STAR CHIPS. WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE WANT THIS DARING ADVENTURE TO BE WORTH SOMETHING. WE'RE HERE TO WIN.
AND WHEN CAELUS TAKES YOUR STAR CHIPS RIGHT AWAY FROM YOU, ARE YOU GOING TO TOLERATE THAT? NO!
AND WHEN CAELUS STEALS THE VERY STAR CHIPS OF OUR OWN TRUE FRIENDS, THE CREW OF GALILEO, ARE YOU GOING TO TOLERATE THAT? NO!
AND WHEN YOU KNOW, THAT THERE ARE THE FIFTY OF US OUT IN SPACE FIGHTING FOR OUR SURVIVAL, AND CAELUS JUST COMES BY AND TAKES OUR STAR CHIPS FOR THEIR OWN MISCHIEF, THEIR OWN FUN AND GAMES, ARE YOU GOING TO TOLERATE THAT? NO!
ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE UP NOW? WHEN YOU KNOW THAT CAELUS JUST SNATCHED YOUR STAR CHIPS RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HANDS? IS THAT GOING TO STOP YOU? NO!
THEY MAY NOT BE TRYING TO WIN, BUT WE ARE. WE. ARE. HERE. TO. WIN.
WE'VE WON THE STAR CHIPS WE'VE WON BECAUSE WE WORKED HARD AND WE DESERVED THEM. ALL OF THEM ARE EARNED FROM BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS, AND NO SHIP DRIFTING BY WANTING TO CAUSE SOME TROUBLE IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT.
WE DESERVE OUR STAR CHIPS AND WE. ARE. HERE. TO. WIN.
THERE ARE FIFTY OF US AND THREE OF THEM. WE HAVE THE NUMBERS. FIGHT THE POWER.
FIGHT THE POWER. FIGHT THE POWER. FIGHT THE POWER.
FIGHT. THE. POWER.
