He reads into it too much that he doesn't see the simple things that are clearly stated. He reads into it too much that he doesn't see the simple things that are clearly stated.Yes.
He'll be risking his life if 3/5 of the pirates aren't happy.
I've made sure that less than 3/5 of the pirates aren't happy, by giving the majority an equal share.
If the captain takes them all, he'll be overthrown, and he's still running the risk by having more than anyone else. This way, the other pirates can't complain as they have an equal share as the captain, and the other two wouldn't be able to overthrow him.
So your final answer is 30%.
Read the question again and think why your now dead
No, of course not, he could get more, but he'd risk a mutiny.
If it went 40%, 30%, 20%, 5%, 5%, the other could say 'hang on, why are you getting the most?' Then they overthrow him.
No, I'm changing my mind. The three 'most important' pirates can split it three ways. Sod the other two.
33.33333% final answer.
So all these selfish treacherous pirates are just going to say 'aye' when you tell them they can't complain because they've got an equal share?!?
Liam were you a lemming in a previous life?

Time is up. 33 coins is your answer then.
Unbelievable.
I think it's entirely believable where Liam is concerned.
You know I'm kidding Liam.
Sort of.

No time restrictions on your answer, but it must be posted by 11:00pm tonight.
I think we should wait to see if he can figure it out himself.
It's be rounded to the nearest coin, so 33.
Yes.
Probably.
What is the right answer then?
Sorry Liam but that question is worded terribly
Why wouldn't pirate 2 just refuse the offer?
That won't happen. Enlighten me.
Sorry Liam but that question is worded terribly
Oh aye, like I've said a load of times, my question isn't good at all, TB's was probably better, in a way.
Sorry Liam but that question is worded terribly
True.
but still Liam should have nailed this. Disappointing.
Still, TB is a lazy basterd.
He won't have enough support, and would be set on fire even though he's still alive.
I can see where you're coming from, but don't think there was any rule that the question had to be made up by themselves.
Yep he is
But you've already pissed of two pirates, so all the next in line pirate has to do to become captain is to say no to your offer.
If I were Pirate 2, I would refuse all suggestions made by Pirate 1.
I can see where you're coming from, but don't think there was any rule that the question had to be made up by themselves.
Yep he is
I could've googled it!? Bastard.
Ah bollocks. In my defence, I've only been awake about an hour.
Now he gets it!!!!!
Well no, as TB said no cheating - which should have been the first clue to you that he didn't think of it himself
But yeah, the answer is all over the interwebs.Oh my god. Why did you think a time restricton applied to you then? It was clear that because you were given 30 minutes, the question can't be original, it was even mentioned in this thread. Clearly you could have Googled this in thread and had better answers inside of about 15 seconds.
I think Liam is now mentally obliterated.
Nuts, it's even on wikipedia!
I did think (with it looking like a riddle) it could be on the internet, but how he worded it, I thought better of it. Bollocks.

Because I'd already been neg-repped for delaying, I thought you'd want this answer as soon as possible.
You had 30 minutes. Clearly you had 30 minutes. I even said you have till 13:40 to answer, which from 13:10, is 30 minutes. You were neg-repped for delaying an answer many days ago.
Yes exactly, you'd already punished me, and seeing as it's taken god knows how many days for two questions, I assumed you'd want this is quickly, plus, as I mentioned, there is a right answer, it's not open to interpretation.
feck this.
feck this.
Well, as I said, I wanted this before 30 minutes, not within two, or five, or 10, or 25.
I love Liam's question, it epitomizes his entire performance in this competition.
Isn't this sentence kind of the key factor, in that none of the other pirates can offer up a proposal?
"The captain always proposes a distribution of
the loot. "
Can't believe Liam did not google this, that is actually the first thing that crossed my mind when seeing the question (and the only way I would have been able to solve it was looking up the answer). I assumed it had to be a pre-existing riddle and not one just made up for the game.

Liam, wouldn't you have completed your first objective in say, from a minimum of a minute? You need to survive long enough to get off the island, but you could if you liked just leave the island after 10 minutes?
I can also see some technical answers ensuring victory very easily.
To be fair to Liam he's almost created the perfect question for himself. All it needs is for Kate Middleton to have died in the crash with him and for her to have mysteriously turned into a zombie on washing ashore.
