Britney
The third antidote was posted at 5:30 PM EST on February 17.
Britney was the last houseguest to locate the antidote and was subsequently placed in quarantine. In order to leave quarantine, an infected houseguest must successfully complete a challenge. As houseguests enter quarantine, the challenges will become increasingly difficult. If the houseguest fails to properly complete the challenge, however, he or she will be eliminated from the game and sent to the Jury House.
Britney had 20 minutes to complete this challenge:
An unbent vaulting pole is leaning against a gymnasium wall. If the distance from the bottom of the pole to the wall is eight feet less than the length of the pole, how high up the side of the wall is the top of the pole if the height is one foot less than the pole’s length?
This is the correct solution:
Therefore, the correct answer is 12 feet.
Britney successfully submitted her response within the 20-minute time limit.
Her answer was...
Incorrect.
Britney, because you did not successfully complete the quarantine challenge, you have not survived infection and have been evicted from the Big Brother Anarchy house.
