A CSz Brain helps CBS's Survivor: Tocantins
ComedySportz gamester Myles Nye created the immunity challenge on the Thursday, 2/26 episode at 8 pm! Here's a description of the challenge:
"A CRATE IDEA"
TYPE: Tribal immunity/reward challenge
CHALLENGE: One seeing member directs a team of blindfolded tribe mates around a roped in field, where they retrieve 8 cubes, each one 4x4 feet. Once they have successfully brought them all within a roped circle and set them down on a mat, the caller now directs a second team of blindfolded tribe mates on how to assemble them. To correctly complete the puzzle, the cubes must be stacked in two separate 2x2 piles with all faces of the same color facing outward. What's more, each colored face has a 4-part design painted on it that must be upright so there is only 1 correct way to solve it. The caller has to direct his team mates on how to turn, rotate, and stack the cubes. They may only begin work on the second stack after completing the first one, to allow the opportunity for a catch-up.
Congratulations, Myles!
