The 9 remaining Solitarians participated in their next Test, the Wheely Long Message test.

The Solitarians were given an image of text written in a circle.  They had to figure out what the letters were as they were very small and the more you zoomed in the blurrier the image.  In addition, there was no punctuation to separate sentences and all words were broken up into letters thus not signaling where a word started or ended.  They then had to recite that speech in one post with all words spelled correctly and in the correct order.

All 9 participated and SIX of the 9 Solitarians quit the Test (3 not making any guesses due to not being able to decipher the letters, 3 giving up after at most being 1 or 2 words off from the actual answer) and ALL will receive a penalty in the upcoming treatment.  Those players were Numbers 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11.

Of the 9, two finished in under an hour and were separated by LESS than 3 minutes with the 1 Solitarian with the fastest time winning this Test and earning safety from the upcoming Treatment.  This player who earned safety is Number 8.

Solitary has suffered it's next casualty.

With 1 Solitarian earning safety from the Treatment during the Test, the remaining 8 participated in the Keyboard Conundrum 2.0 Treatment.  They had to type out 6 phrases (7 for those who received a penalty.) on reprogrammed keyboards.  Each reprogrammed keyboard lasted for 2 phrases.  The trick was each Keyboard had a pattern that if figured out could speed up the process (except Round 7 which was a random keyboard for the penalty round).  Their time would be how long it took to finish all rounds with the longest time resulting in their elimination.

This treatment the eliminated player was

Finishing in 9th place is Pod Number 10.

Solitary has been hacked!

Val's abode was taken over by a new entity, Valentine who chose to flip things on it's head in Solitary.

The 8 remaining Solitarians participated in their next Test, the Programmer test in order to restore Solitary to it's original programming.

The Solitarians were given 4 different grids with several colored ports they had to connect using every piece of the board connecting 2 ports of the same color in a line without crossing any other wires (similar to the app game, Flow).  They attempted each grid 1 at a time with the option to reveal the color of a section for penalty time.

All 8 participated and two really struggled with an overall time (playtime plus penalty time) of over 6 hours with the slowest time to receive a penalty in the upcoming treatment.  That player was Number 11.

Of the 8, two finished in under an hour with the 1 Solitarian with the fastest time winning this Test and earning safety from the upcoming Treatment.  This player who earned safety is Number 4.

With 1 Solitarian earning safety from the Treatment during the Test, the remaining 7 participated in the Music Video Mayhem Treatment.  Each Solitarian was given 10 music videos in which for each they had to find/count certain things to create a 20 digit code.  Each of them had a max of 5 guesses (3 for the one who finished the Test in Last Place) and used them to determine their placement.  The length each number was from the correct response earned penalty points with the guess with the smallest score being the main result judged and other guesses used as the tiebreaker if necessary thus making Solitarians decide to use their guesses to guess different guesses to get a good base score or if confident in their answer give the same answer across multiple guesses to ensure a better chance in a tiebreaker.

The 7 remaining Solitarians participated in their next Test, the Logic test.

The Solitarians had to solve a logic grid puzzle to assign 4 different properties to 7 different parties using a set of clues given to them.  Based on these clues they would be able to determine the date, special request item, family and location of each of 7 parties.  Hints would be available in which they choose 2 properties of the 28 total and discover if they described the same party or 2 different parties at the cost of 2 minutes.

All 7 participated and two really struggled with an overall time (playtime plus penalty time) of over 4 hours (both Solitarians took the most amount of penalty time) with the slowest time to receive a penalty in the upcoming treatment.  That player was Number 6.

Of the 7, three finished in under an hour (with all taking no penalty time) with the 1 Solitarian with the fastest time winning this Test and earning safety from the upcoming Treatment.  This player who earned safety is Number 9.

Solitary has suffered it's next casualty.

With 1 Solitarian earning safety from the Treatment during the Test, the remaining 6 participated in the Blind Virtual Maze Treatment.  Each Solitarian had to navigate through a maze of 100 rooms (traveling through 60 of them) blindly not knowing any directions and choosing where to go in each room hoping to find a door and not a wall which would result in penalty time.  Throughout the maze and the 1 path they had to take were 9 puzzle rooms which each contained a unique puzzle with the less guesses (5 at most, 3 for the player with the penalty from the Test) it took to solve giving them knowledge on what directions to travel in the maze.  The Solitarian who had the longest time (play time and penalty time combined) would be eliminated.

D:

The 6 remaining Solitarians participated in their next Test, the Brainwash test.

The Solitarians minds were reprogrammed.  They were given a GIF which presented 80 new facts they had to learn.  They then had to complete a 25 question survey answering questions on those new facts.  The score they got on the survey would determine their placement with the highest score earning safety from the Treatment and the lowest score earning a penalty.  In the event of a tie, time was used as the Tiebreaker.

One Solitarian did not start the Test within the 24 hours they had to participate and will receive a penalty in the upcoming treatment.  That player was Number 6.

Of the 5 who finished, four had a perfect score with a time under 20 minutes with the 1 Solitarian with the fastest time winning this Test and earning safety from the upcoming Treatment.  This player who earned safety is Number 9.

Solitary has suffered it's next casualty.

With 1 Solitarian earning safety from the Treatment during the Test, the remaining 5 participated in the Revolution Treatment.  Each Solitarian had 24 hours (20 hours for the Solitarian who finished the Test in Last Place) to post in their own spinning chair topic they made a phrase which resulted in spins in the chair every 30 minutes.  Depending on how close the posts were to 30 minutes apart determined how many spins were made with posts perfectly separated by 30 minutes worth 60 spins and posts that were 1 hour, 25 minutes apart or more worth 5 spins.  The Solitarian who completed the least amount of spins would be eliminated.

KING WAS ROBBED.

I'm proud of myself, thought I was screwed a long time ago.

The 5 remaining Solitarians participated in their next Test, the Lock and Key 2.0 test.

The Solitarians were placed in jackets covered in 60 locks and given 60 keys, 1 key per lock and had to simply open all the locks and press the green button to finish.  But, this was not entirely on luck.  Each lock had a letter placed on it and when matched with the key that opened it, all letters spelled out a sentence so using this intuition and a starting hint (the phrase "2.0" was placed within the given sentence) players could potentially narrow down possibilities for which keys went with which locks.  So if the first word in the sentence was "THE" then Key 1 would have to open a lock with a T on it, Key 2 for an H and Key 3 for an E and so on.  The Solitarian who finished in the fastest time would earn safety from my next Treatment and a guaranteed spot in the Solitary 2.0 Final Four while the slowest time would earn a penalty in the upcoming Treatment.

All 5 finished the Treatment with 1 really struggling with a time over 4 hours with the next slowest almost 90 minutes faster and thus finishing in last place and will receive a penalty in the upcoming treatment.  That player was Number 7.

Of the 5 who finished, 2 finished with a time under 2 hours with the 1 Solitarian with the fastest time winning this Test and earning safety from the upcoming Treatment.  This player who earned safety is Number 9, who has now won their 3rd Test in a row.

Solitary has suffered it's next casualty.

With 1 Solitarian earning safety from the Treatment during the Test, the remaining 4 participated in the Domino Chain Treatment.  Each Solitarian had 24 hours to participate in a test that tested Endurance and Strategy.  They were given 56 dominos and had to place them in a 12x12 grid, 1 at a time, (for the player with the penalty they had only and 11x11 grid).  Each domino had to connect to the previous domino they placed by sharing a common number (0 to 7) with the number shared between the 2 dominos determining the wait time before placing another domino (10 minutes per dot for up to 60 minutes for 6 dots, but with 0 dots having a wait time of 90 minutes).  Any dominos not placed in the 24 hour period will result in penalty points being given to that Solitarian (1 penalty point per dot on each domino not used with dominos having a 0 on one part being worth 9 penalty points).  The Solitarian who earned the most penalty points would be eliminated.

With that the winner of Solitary 1.0 has fallen and we are now down to the Solitary 2.0 Final Four.

Yup, I had no time for that treatment... well played to the final four.

The 4 remaining Solitarians participated in their next Test, the Color Blind test.

The Solitarians were shown a GIF that had a sequence of 102 colors created from 11 different colors.  They had to successfully recite the order of the 102 colors.  Their score would be how many colors they got correct in the order.  In the need of a tie, time would be the tiebreaker.  The Solitarian who had the highest score and finished in the fastest time would earn safety from my next Treatment and a guaranteed spot in the Solitary 2.0 Final Three while the lowest score in the slowest time would earn a penalty in the upcoming Treatment.

All 4 finished the Treatment with 2 getting a score of 101 out of 102 with the slower time finishing in last place and thus will receive a penalty in the upcoming treatment.  That player was Number 9.

Of the 4 who finished, 2 had a perfect score of 102 out of 102 with the 1 Solitarian with the fastest time winning this Test and earning safety from the upcoming Treatment.  This player who earned safety is Number 2.  They are the first member of the Solitary 2.0 Final Three.
