MOFO Survivor XI Money Game - Trapped in Space

Tools    





Here's a few more notes about the transmissions challenge:

The "-" in #2 is actually part of the word and not a typo, however in your answer you may omit it or supply a space in its place without losing points.

While the image for #8 was correct, in its transcription the word break (/) was one space to the left of where it should be. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. It has since been fixed.

If you are uncertain about any aspect of the challenge, feel free to ask for clarification. If you ask nicely, I may even give you a hint.



Meanwhile, as Doctor TONGO stands atop his tower......



"Tis' a pity I cannot indulge like my Latverian citizens who are able to simply gaze upward and see magnificence. There is rumor many have forgotten theres a sun in the sky.

Now which reward shall I choose....."


The Reward: The crew member who decodes the most transmissions correctly can choose one of the following rewards:

1. A Blood Test Kit - While seemingly innocuous at the moment, this device may save your life at a later date.
"I'm always fond of these mystery prizes. Theyre even more enticing when you can bid on them. Then after getting stung a couple times with a plate of fried chicken they wince when its presented again. Because......MAYBE this is the good mystery prize, and you dont want to pass it up, but if not......"

"Few players recall big pots they have won -- strange as it seems -- but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career." - Jack King


2. A Clue to an Immunity Idol - When used in combination with the previous clues, the idol's whereabouts should become abundantly clear.
"Oh ho-ho! Yes this cruelty is why Survivor is called Survivor. Offer a clue to an item already found! Ha! I approve.

Now Im going to .....volunteer my services as a Technical Advisor......"

May I please, please, pretty please with cherries and sugar top have a clue for 12 and 15 madam?
You wouldn't be referencing food if you knew the contents of #15.

As for #12, I'm sure the warden of the MoFo Penitentiary would recognize it right away.
