Yay!! Just submitted mine. Worried about doing it on the BF's iPad (computer down) but got it done! Can we get a post of the nice things we said about each other? Haha, I've only met Pondo briefly, I am curious! Baconus, I'm sure you did fine, 70% with 33 questions should be fine :-D
Nice work from all the applicants! Everyone who has turned in their answers has done way better than expected.
It was brought to my attention today about the deadline time of 6pm which is was meant for EST. Did not think about others living in different time zones. Some would say it should be at 6pm EST(3pm PST) and others would say 6pm PST( 9pm EST). We will compromise and move it to 7:30pm EST.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

1. From the list, say something nice about the persons below you, Jakw you have to say some nice about Mike D.
This questions was just a way to connect all of us. There were some very nice responses!
Jade since you asked, you said,
yndrfanintnis a super friendly dude that smiles a lot and uses his own time to make sure CarpeDM's tree is taken care of properly.
Everyone of you needs to give Popsicle Sarah a hug, She rocked these question! She said something awesome about everyone of you! +1 point to her!
2. Now do that again, in the opposite form, reverse, and backwards.
This was left for interpenetration. To the ones who actually typed your answer backwards, +1 point for you.
3. Where is ADH, antidiurectic hormone released from(what organ)?
Posterior pituitary, which is connect to the hypothalamus in our brain.
4. Name one factor that will affect the normal release of ADH. (*Hint* some places have 30 per case) Other answers were accepted, but Beer/Alcohol(which I will now use ETOH when talking about party favors) was the best answer.
5. If ADH is not release(because of 'Keg' stands, jello shots, or bongs of beer), what happens in our urinary system, we produce more of, what(its number "1")?
Worded weird, but Urine is released when ADH is not.
(extra 7 points, for the name an electrolyte that is not reabsorbed when ADH does not reach the kidneys.) +1 given to people who said NA+.
6. When fluid out is more than our fluid intake, we become what?
Dehydrated
7. Ever get the white sweat rings stains on your shirt?
Sure.
8. Can you tell me what that is? When we sweat electrolytes are released and you can see that in the stains on our shirts. Some of those "pit stains" can be from Deo, but we do lose electrolytes from sweating.
9. When we are dehydrated, what happens to our heart rate? does it go down or up?
When fluid is taken form our vascular system(arteries and veins), the heart must beat harder and fast to keep the pressure needed for organ perfusion.
10. A faster HR, uses more of what? 11. Increase in metabolism, uses more of what? 12. Dancing all day, uses more of what?
ATP, aka Energy is what I am looking for.
13. You are dehydrated, have been dancing all day, have not eaten, and you are taking a substance that is known to speed up metabolic process in your body, what do you think is going to happen? This question here is what this was all about. We want to help someone make it too Roo this year with a ticket, but we also want to educate. These past three days have been about that. We want people to be aware of the dangers of Bonnaroo and how these extreme conditions affect the body and if not taken seriously can lead to, well you know what the "Perfect Storm can lead to.
14. How many bones in the Human body?
206, but we are born with more, but some fuse together over time.
15. Besides drinking water, is there something else, an additive I should be ingesting at Roo ?
Water is needed to counter dehydration, but we also must be replacing electrolytes!
16. what are you replenishing?
Electrolytes
17. Go take a leak(number #1) and record the color of your urine, how can that information be used to better understand your fluid status. We should aim to pee clear. It is said to drink 8-10 glasses of water/day. If your urine is clear, you are hydrated.
Clear urine- you are all good, do not stop drinking water
Yellow urine- you are okay, begining sings of dehydration, start drinking more water
Tea colored - You are dehydrated, drink water, drink water, seek medical help!
Dark tea colored- Go to the med tent NOW!!!
18. What is your favorite cursedlono post?
"Pretty much all of them."
"At least I am pimping girls with that .gif I have no idea of what you are slinging but I will not be tasting your rainbow anytime soon."
"His response to the Sherrie thread. Hands down, that was the point in which I new Lono was an awesome dude. All these folks bashing/teasing her and he was there to help. For this reason alone I am glad he was part of the gifts received last year."
"Emoney tear down that .gif! you are not a bag of Skittles nobody is tasting your rainbow!"
"quack that never again 2005, 2006. 2008 without one never again. I bought a cheap ass one for $30 in 2009 instead of relying on others to bring one. It is a cheap Ozark non-eZ and it set up noce last week still no rips etc need a lil labor help with it but that is all. Shade is your friend love up on it like it was a Cylon Sex Bot!!!"
"From the RADIOHEAD TOUR OMG thread: I will probably not need to sleep that night sensory deprivation tanks remove all adrenaline and lactic acid from the blood stream one hour in one is equivalent to 9 hours of regular sleep though you are not sleeping just in a different state of conciousnous as a special state of rest occurs that is not normal plus it reboots the brain and that is good that is when reprogramming can occur and I have just reprogramming a soaky up young brain can absorb under those circumstances! and then there will be Radiohead! "Programming and Meta-Programming in The Human Biocomputer" read it! it is a manual for madness and Nirvanna!"
"This was tough, like picking a favorite child. Probably my favorite recently was “I actually have a forklift driving certificate from work.” The vision of lono driving around the farm with a fork lift loaded up with pesto mozadillas, dressed like Hunter S. Thompson, while ranting and raving like a lunatic is pretty much the funniest thing I can possibly imagine."
"The one where he gave me concert tickets to a show that got cancelled"
19. What is Scrog's Mom's name?
This was a question from last contest. Think Happy Days spin off, It is not Shirley, but surely you can guess it.
20. How does shade help reduce dehydration?
"Keeps your body cooler which prevents you from sweating as much."
21. Is it better for the giver of a 'Golden Shower' to have clear or golden color urine?
We should all try to pee clear. "golden" urine is heading towards dehydration.
22. Are you watching the 'Big Game' on Sunday? I hope so, because of all the next round question revolves around it.
23. How many times will Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth say, "Tim Tebow" on Sunday during the Big Game? (combined total, must say full name, Tim Tebow)
This will be a tie breaker for tomorrow. ;D
24. Who calls it the Big Game? Why?
Everybody who has not paid the Money to use the phrase, "Super Bowl".
25. If you see someone at Roo who needs help at Roo and you can not help them, what can or do you do?
"Yelling “MEDIC” really really loud, over and over will always get the right people’s attention. I've seen it happen and it's pretty effective."
"Either stay with them and tell someone to get a paramedic, or vice versa."
26. What does the S.P.F. stand for on Sunblock?
sun protection factor Everyone got this right. ;D
27. What are the four different ways of water loss in the human body? Respiration(Lungs), sweating/perspiration(skin), Poop(GI tact) and urine(Kidney).
28. On average, about how many ml of fluid/day do we lose? How much fluid should we put into our bodies, on average, per day?
2500ml/day is lost on average, we need to put that much back in.
29. What can one do to make their tent a little bit cooler during Roo?
Shade structure helps with this.
30. Is curry from England? According to Alton Brown on the Food Network it does. Curry is a stew and back in the day people in England start calling all food and spices out of India "Curry". It stuck.
31. Do you wear a hat at Roo?
You should, or something to protect you from the sun.
32. how many fingers am I holding up, right, wait, wait for it, how many, right NOW!!!
7 was the correct answer. Wacko you nailed it with:
33. Have you learned anything during the past two days? Can you elaborate? We sure hope so. Sunday will decided the winner of the ticket. We wanted people to talk about survival at Bonnaroo. When we start drinking ADH distribution is interrupted. The kidneys no longer are receiving ADH, which is released form the brain, and start to not reabsorb water. In turn we pee, "break the seal", void, urinate. With this we also sweat at Roo. We dance. We party. All these factors lead to dehydration, our metabolism increases and we use more energy. Electrolytes are being lost. With out those, our cells do not work correctly. NA+/K+ pumps do not work at an optimal level and things on a cellular level start to fail. All of these conditions can lead to a "Perfect storm". When that happens it is just a matter of not "if", but "when". We all have seen this. If not taken care of, this "Perfect Storm" can lead to Death. This can happen to very healthy young individuals.
Drink water, replace your electrolytes, try to stay in the shade, take breaks, do not forget to eat something, and have a great time!
Would like to give some credit to someone who help with this and who this is for. Lono was a recipient of a gift from QSAROO last year. He tried to repay that gift this year. The show was cancelled. We did a Lono redemption. This is a gift from Lono. I am speaking his name, because he deserves a shout out. ;D
Ladies and Gentlemen, Place your Bets. Prop bets that is. The "Big Game" is on Sunday and these questions will follow the prop bets out of Vegas for Super Bowl XLVI.
Rules: Pick an answer. Send those back to QSAROO. (We will post all answers, so everyone will know where they stand.) Do this by 4:20pm tomorrow. The one with the most points, Wins! In case of a tie, we will revert back to your answer from question #23-"How many times will Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth say, "Tim Tebow" on Sunday during the Big Game? (combined total, must say full name, Tim Tebow)"

That was not what I was expecting but I like it. A little bit of dumb luck is required to win it. That said I know what I'll be doing for my 5 hour morning shift tomorrow.
When I mentioned this before, I forgot about the 7point extra credit, that is why PS and RDK have 11 points and on the other end, sorry guys, water is not an electrolyte.
Awesome job QSAROO! Reading the best Lono quotes is golden. It's apparent that somebody on the QSAROO board has had experience in the bookmaking trade. Good luck to all the contestants.

Is #5 suppose to be Madonna @ Half Time or Kelly Clarkson @ National Anthem?
Good question. Messed that one up, it should be Madonna @ half time. Sorry. Thanks Bacon!
Hoping others win join in. Play along. We have received a request for "side bets", someone wanted to donate a small gift to start and to make a little package for someone to win, outside the one the ones trying for the ticket. This prize/gift would be up for anybody to win. Except the winner of the contest. This package is also funded by all of you. You all, would be donating the gifts to this package for this "side bet". ;D Anybody want in on this?
I have a tie-breaker question - my answer to the Al Michaels/Tim Tebow question did not involve a number. Am I allowed to submit a numeric value for the purpose of participating in the tie breaker with my answers/bets in this round, or do I have to forfeit such an opportunity for thinking outside of the box?
