Gyul! Hap!

And now, you can also play the sixth round's Death Match, Gyul! Hap! from the comfort of your living room!

Below are links to three grids. You must find as many Haps as possible and write them down. The answers will be revealed tomorrow. A Hap is a trio of squares for which all of their properties are either all the same or all different. For example:

White background, red square

White background, yellow triangle

White background, blue circle

The links are below. Good luck!

Grid 1:

Grid 2:

Grid 3:

I will now reveal the 9th Death Match.

In this game you will have to find 3 cards with all the same or all differing properties out of a selection of 12 cards. These 12 cards will be shown in a 3 row x 4 column grid.

Each picture will have 4 properties:

Color - Blue, Green or Red

Shape - Squiggles, Diamonds or Ovals

Shading - Clear, Lined or Solid

Quantity - One, Two or Three

When the 12 cards are revealed, you will need to find three cards that form a Hap. A Hap consists of three cards where every property is either all same or all different.

Here is an example board:

From left to right and row by row, each card is assigned a number from 1 - 12 in ascending order. The top left card is 1 and the bottom right card is 12.

Correct examples of a hap:

• 4 7 12 (Color, Shape, and Shading are all different/Quantity is the same)
• 2 5 12 (Color and Shape are different/Quantity and Shading are the same)
• 2 6 7 (Color and Shading are different/Shape and Quantity is the same)

Incorrect examples of a hap:

• 1 6 10 (Quantity and Shapes are all different, but Shading and Color are neither all different or same)
• 2 3 4 (Shading is all different/Color and Quantity is all same, but Shapes are neither all different or same)
• 5 6 7 (Shading is all different/Quantity is the same, but Color and Shape are neither all different or same)

The player who posts "Gyul" on this thread first gets to answer. They then have 1 minute to answer with a follow up post. Their answer will consist of a list containing all the haps found on the board. If they correctly identify all the Haps, they win the round. If they are incorrect, either by missing a Hap or having incorrect Haps in your list, the chance will be passed to the opponent. Missing the 1 minute time stamp from your "Gyul" will also pass the chance to your opponent. At this point, players will take turns until a player correctly finds all the haps and wins the round.

At the end of 9 rounds, the player with the most wins will win the Death Match.

When a player wins 5 rounds, the game will end as that player's win.

If one of the Death Match players edits or deletes one of their posts during the round, the other player will immediately win the round.

You now have 30 minutes from this post to prepare. When the 30 minutes is up, I will lock the member rooms without warning.

Once both players post "ready" on this thread, I will post the first round.

Gyul, Hap

In this match, you will find matching sets of three (haps) and identify them to score points.

Setup

There will be ten rounds. In each round, players are shown a 3x3 board that contains 9 tile. Each tile has three features: object (moon, robot or UFO), object color (red, green or grey) and background color (black, grey or white).

Players will then take turns identifying sets of three shapes whose features are all the same or all different.

For example, a red moon on a black background, a grey robot on a black background and a green UFO on a black background would form a hap. However, a red moon on a black background, a grey robot on a grey background and a green moon on a white background would not form a hap because there are two moons.

Gameplay

Players will alternate turns. Each turn will last ten seconds. On their turn, a player can call Hap, Gyul or pass. If ten seconds pass without a call, the player will pass. The ten second timer will begin when a moderator announces that it's a player's turn.

The player taking the very first action of the round will receive 15 seconds.

If you think that you have found a hap, post Hap in this thread, followed by the three corresponding grid numbers.

In the following example, if you wanted to identify the hap formed by the three UFOs on white backgrounds, you would post Hap 5-6-9

Calling Gyul

If you think that all haps have been identified, you can post Gyul in this thread on your turn. If there are no haps left, your call of Gyul will be successful and we will move onto the next round. If your call of Gyul was incorrect, then play will pass to the next player.

If each player takes four turns in a row without calling Hap or Gyul, then we will move onto the next round.

Scoring

Players score 1 point for each successful Hap they identify. If they call Hap but do not identify a correct set, or identify a set that has already been identified, then the player loses a point.

Players gain 3 points for each successful Gyul call. If they incorrectly call Gyul, then the player loses a point.

The player with the most points after ten rounds will win the Finale Match.

If players are tied after ten rounds, then we will play an eleventh round as a tiebreaker.
