PHASE 6 CHALLENGE

Being a player that has lasted this long in this game proves that you have a certain level of intelligence and/or luck.  Well this week's challenge will test your intelligence to its fullest extent.  You will be receiving a series of 4 logical questions.  Each one more difficult than the one that preceded it.  These questions are not easy.  The winner will be the player who answered the most questions correctly. 

This week you will have a choice of a reward:

1. You can receive the normal "bye" from the exam.

2. This is the almost illegal thing that I am willing to toss in.  You can receive your score (NOT GRADED EXAM) on the last exam you took.

-Include your choice on your answer submission which is due on Day 23 by 5PM to actionjackson009@yahoo.com.

Here are your questions:
