Control of ( 11, 10 ) passed from Life Contest to root. Control of ( 12, 10 ) passed from Life Contest to root. Control of ( 10, 11 ) passed from Life Contest to root. Control of ( 12, 11 ) passed from Life Contest to root. Control of ( 11, 12 ) passed from Life Contest to root. The time has come to perform one Round of the Life Contest. I note that there are currently 6 Vials of Primordial Ooze owned by the contest. I take 6, divide by 4 (number of contestants) and round up to determine that I run 2 generations this week.

As contestmaster, I transfer 6 Cells from the Life Contest to Goethe. I randomly determine a number between 1 and 5: 3. Acting as contestmaster, and as required by the regulations, I perform the following actions: I mint 3 Vials of Primordial Ooze and transfer them to root. I mint 3 Vials of Primordial Ooze and transfer them to Craig. I mint 3 Vials of Primordial Ooze and transfer them to OscarMeyr. I mint 3 Vials of Primordial Ooze and transfer them to Goethe.
