Man Showed the doctor where it pains by pressing his index finger all over his body.

Doctor laughed out loudly at him and told him that he has simple problem, nothing to worry about it

why doctor laughed and what happened to the man actually?😛

Rosa wont forgive you😡

A lot of people wanted their results revealed, but as I had said 5, I had Excel randomly select 5 people. Don't worry though. Now that these 5 have had some results revealed, they won't get that chance again when I do this once more after R6 or R7. And at that time I might select more people.

Anyways, here are the 5 people and their results:

Shooting-Star received a perfect score in Rounds 3 and 4 and is currently somewhere in the top 5.

EXOL received 86 in Round 2 and 85 in Round 4 and is currently somewhere between (and including) the 22nd and 25th spots.

Savera84 received 86 in Round 2 and a perfect score in Round 4 and is currently somewhere between (and including) the 13th and 18th spots.

VioletOrchid123 received 88 in Round 2 and a perfect score in Round 4 and is currently somewhere between (and including) the 13th and 18th spots.

Mysterie_girl received 51 in Round 3 and a perfect score in Round 4 and is currently somewhere between (and including) the 36th and 41st spots.

Also as a bonus from my side (more like I accidentally asked for 6 names instead of 5 in my Excel randomizer):

RainofDew received a perfect score in Rounds 1 and 3 and is currently somewhere between (and including) the 22nd and 25th spots.

Player and I looked proud of ourselves. We had finished the riddles and solved the sentence in an hour. Now we were 3 hours ahead. We may get through these puzzles sooner than we had thought. As the screen went black, we relaxed for the first time. We were halfway there. These hackers wouldn’t be able to take us down. Maybe we weren’t such imbeciles after all.

The screen filled with a message. “Congratulations. You are halfway there. But if you thought those were hard, then you haven’t seen anything yet. You will now be going into death mode. There are doors. 15 doors. Virtual doors to unlock. To unlock each door, you will have to find the right pattern of left, right, up, and down. Five of them will unlock each door. If you enter even one combination wrong, you will immediately fail and lose everything forever. Whenever you are ready, click below.”

While Dr. Watson and Player are going to get busy unlocking 15 separate doors, for you there are only 5. Below you will see 5 pictures. One picture comes with a public hint. Using that hint, try to find the correct combination of left, right, up, and down arrows for all the pics. Note that you don’t have to send me actual arrows. Just tell me which direction the arrow should point for each picture. For example, up, down, straight, etc.

Each correct combo will give you 15 points. Note that I will give you 10 points if you get at least 3 out of the 5 arrows right in a combo. If you want more hints than what is provided, then you are welcome to receive 1 hint at the cost of 20 points.

Note that each picture has its own set of arrows. So a total of 5 sets of arrows.

You can only submit your answers one time.
