[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 2301337, member: 20931"] Here's another. if your feeling evil: In front of the players is a statue with its arms extended in front, palms up. Close inspection of the statue shows that the arms are actually a form of balance. In front of the statue are eight slim steel dicks (the weights of Authority and Responsibility). The following is engraved at the base of the statute: "[I]You face the weights of authority and resposibility. Balance them well, lewst you sow disaster. Balance them and you shall open the path. [/I] [I]It will help you to know that the first is ten times the second.[/I] (weight 1: 130) [I]Thrice the second is the third plus twice the eighth.[/I] (weight 2: 13) [I]Twice the third is one more than the fifth plus half the eight[/I]. (weight 3: 7) [I]The fourth is the difference between the sixth and twice the second[/I]. (weight 4: 44) [I]The fifth is one tenth of the sum of thrice the second and one fourth the fourth.[/I] (weight 5: 5) [I]The sixth is the first minus twice the third plus twice the fifth.[/I] (weight 6: 126) [I]The seventh is the difference between four times the fourth and the sum of the first and the fifth[/I]. (weight 7: 41) [I]Twice the eighth is one less than twice the second plus the third.[/I] (weight 8: 16)" If the balance is off by less than 4 ounces, nothing happens. If it is off by more than four ounces a trap is sprung (a different one for each arm, you pick what you want :] ). To be truely evil, make it so that only those with telekinesis can reach the discs (if you have jedi). :] [/QUOTE]
