8+8+4+10+8=38 for iso
15+3+4+1=23 for pin so far + fnord's round 2 score

so fnord needs 15 to tie and 16 for pin pals to beat isotopes this task

while fnord works on round 2, we will move on to task 12!

Task 12 - Princess Bride

Below are 77 quotes from The Princess Bride in random order. Your job is to put them in order, as a team, on your team thread. You will get 5 points for every quote that is in the correct slot (1-77). For those not in the correct slot, you will lose points based on absolute distance from the correct slot. So if you put quote 27 into slot 32, then you will get -5 for that quote.

Finally, after you have posted your finalized quote order in bold in the thread, the moles will pm me and they will be allowed to swap 3 quotes with any other quotes. For instance, they swap quote 70 with quote 2, quote 65 with quote 1, quote 77 with quote 10. Whichever mole hurts their team the most with these 3 swaps will earn 5 mole rods, so hopefully they know their Princess Bride.

So, you have until Friday noon to rearrange the following 77 quotes in order on your team thread. You must bold the finalized list or I will take the most recently posted before noon eastern as your final list. Moles will need to pm me which to swap shortly thereafter.

The 77 quotes:
-Have you the wing?
-People in masks cannot be trusted.
-I am not left-handed!
-Do you want me to send you back to where you were? Unemployed, in Greenland!!
-I need you to guide my sword, please.

-If you haven't got your health, then you haven't got anything.
-There will be blood tonight!
-There's not a lot of money in revenge.
-Get used to disappointment.
-Why didn't you list that among our assets in the first place?!
-I could not bear it if you died again, not when I could save you.
-Were you burned by acid or something like that?
-You guessed wrong.
-Do you always begin conversations this way?
-But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal
-And, he shouldn't go in swimming after for at least...An hour!
-Please understand I hold you in the highest respect.
-Why am I on this wall?
-Throw me the rope.
-And remember, this is for posterity so be honest.
-Inhale this but do not touch.
-Make it as tight as you like.
-I have loved more deeply than a killer like yourself could ever dream!
-I wonder if he's using the same wind we are using?
-Not one couple in a century has that chance, no matter what the storybooks say.
-Morons!
-Anybody want a peanut?
-If you want I could fly.
-That does put a damper on our relationship.
-You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well then, I accept.
-You can die slowly, cut into a thousand pieces.
-You never said anything about killing anyone!
-Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman that cries out, 'dear god what is that thing!' will echo in your perfect ears.
-My Wesley will always come for me.
-Then why is there fear behind your eyes.
-May I live a thousand years and never hunt again!
-I just hope it's enough to buy a miracle, that's all.
-The Dread Pirate Roberts is here for your soul!
-Alright, now lets see...where were we? Oh, yes, in the Pit of Despair.
-I do not accept excuses! I'm just going to have to find myself a new giant, that's all.
-Form a brute squad then!
-Bow to the Queen of Slime, the Queen of Filth, the Queen of Putrescence!
-Yes, yes, some of the time
-And I am staying 'till Vizzini comes.
-This one left them all behind.
-I don't think more than ten.
-You admit to me you do not love your fiancé?
-There will be great suffering in Guilder if she dies.
-If I had a month to plan maybe I could come up with something.
-But nobody withstands the machine.
-While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut, and pour lemon juice on it.
-Hear this now, I will always come for you.
-I always think everything could be a trap. That is why I am still alive.
-I want him to live a long life, alone with his cowardice.
-You mocked me once! Never do it again! I died that day!
-You've got an over-developed sense of vengeance. It's going to get you into trouble someday.
-My way is not very sportsman-like.
-we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?
-You surely are a meany.
-You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts.
-Clearly this was all planned by warriors of Guilder!

-But in the meantime, rest well and dream of large women.
-You seem a decent fellow...I hate to die.
-There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours.
-and you cannot track that; not with a thousand bloodhounds.

At least I know this time that the assumption that the answers are all about 5 in, 5 out is incorrect. I probably get 4 more on the 100k casualty one if I didn't make that assumption.

And on 1, I had two pretty definitely in (Columbus ldo and jews expelled because I just saw a history channel thing like a week or so ago on the barbary pirates who were made up of Muslims who were expelled in 1492, and I figured if they were kicking out the Muslims, they were probably kicking out the Jews, too). Guessed Fall of Constantinople, but now that I think about it, I think that was in the 1450's.

1 was soooooooo hard because at least most of those things happened in that general time frame.
