STAGE ONE - ENTRY LEVEL
Welcome, Machetes & Chainsaws, to your first Spawning Levels - Entry Island #1 and Entry Island #2.
First, the Chainsaws.
You have spawned on Island #1 (refer to map on Page 13 of this thread), and this is where you find yourselves at :-
Study the map carefully.
You stand right in front of an old village, spawning at the Main Street which leads into the village, and two other paths which act as diversions from the village. These diversions, however, are not accessible by any of you.
There are several exit points (indicated from A-H), and each path leads out of this map. But to reach an exit point, you must go through the village and it's 12 marked places and 1 unmarked place. The map provides you with more details of all 12 marked places. The 1 unmarked place is a secret.
POINT TO NOTE - Exit points D & E lead to Bonus levels. You might find yourselves lucky enough to enter one of them and find several pleasant surprises waiting for you there.
There are 13 of you, Chainsaws. Each one is assigned a particular numerical code by me.
I need all of you to select ONE question each from the following list, and send me your correct answer to THAT question ONLY. Your choice of the question number will determine your fate, and your answers will determine which marked/unmarked places you will enter.
TWO PARTICIPANTS OF THE SAME TEAM CANNOT SELECT THE SAME QUESTION.
