This last week has just been crazy... I hope everyone has sufficient time to get their moves back to me before the start of the next week. Okay, onto the contest. Goethe purchased a number of cells before this week started: Control of ( 24, 22 ) passed from Life Contest to Goethe. Control of ( 3, 46 ) passed from Life Contest to Goethe. Control of ( 2, 47 ) passed from Life Contest to Goethe. Control of ( 3, 47 ) passed from Life Contest to Goethe. Control of ( 4, 47 ) passed from Life Contest to Goethe. Control of ( 2, 48 ) passed from Life Contest to Goethe. Control of ( 4, 48 ) passed from Life Contest to Goethe. Time to run one Round of the contest. I note that the Life Contest is in posession of 20 Vials of Primordial Ooze. There are 4 contestants. I run 5 generations of the contest with the following results: -- INITIAL STATE -- LEGEND .

I randomly determine a number between 1 and 5: 2. Acting as contestmaster, and as required by the regulations, I perform the following actions: I mint 2 Vials of Primordial Ooze and transfer them to root. I mint 2 Vials of Primordial Ooze and transfer them to Craig. I mint 2 Vials of Primordial Ooze and transfer them to OscarMeyr. I mint 2 Vials of Primordial Ooze and transfer them to Goethe.
