Are you enjoying the storyline or do you prefer direct questions?
Week 5 Winner
It was a slightly shorter quiz week than usual as I had a couple of nights away with my extended family. We still managed to answer 15 questions which were asked in a different format to last month. What did you think of the change? Keep with the storyline or return to direct questions?
From this week's 15 questions, @pennsif (Solo) continued his fine form with a score of 5.5 points to take this week's prize (10% beneficiary to this post). Oops-a-lot (@mojociocio and @ady-was-ere) also did well with 3.5 points with @disconnect (Solo) and NO team (@chriddi, @moecki, @event-horizon and @o1eh) both scoring 2 points and Two Shreks and Fiona (@bluelavender, @alexanderkass and @henryclive) taking the final point.
🏆 Congratulations @pennsif!
Overall Rankings After Week 5
Are Two Shreks and Fiona starting to get nervous as @pennsif closes the gap to just half a point? They're still sitting pretty at the top of the table but can they slow down @pennsif's fine form? Or will another team start to make their way up the table?
| Change | Team | Score |
|---|---|---|
| - | Two Shreks and Fiona | 26 |
| - | @pennsif (Solo) | 25.5 |
| - | NO team | 17 |
| - | Oops-a-lot | 15 |
| - | @disconnect (Solo) | 11 |
| - | @soulfuldreamer (Solo) | 3 |

Questions 8 and 9
🎭 Celebrity Numbers 🔢
In this round, each person can request the unmasking of any number (1 per 30 minutes), which will unmask a square on the image below.
You then need to figure out who the celebrities are!
1 point for each correct answer.
Be careful though, receiving too many number requests could make things too easy for others to guess!
Updates will be made every 30 minutes until the celebrity is guessed - remember though, an incorrect guess will lead to a 3 hour wait!
Once the image is updated, you can request another number (even if you're on your 3 hour wait)!
Last update: 10:30pm (UK Time)
Next unveiling: 9am (UK Time) - Please select your number before then.

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
This is just my suggestion:
I think the next shape is a circle again.
If we associate these shapes with the number π (3.14159...)
A triangle has 3 ends - represents 3
A circle can be taken as 1 (wholeness, no corners)
A cross has 4 ends - represents 4
The next number in 3.14159... is 1, and the circle was previously used to represent 1, so the next shape is a circle again.
Following the logic of π (3.14159...), the next number is 5, so most likely, after the circle comes a five-pointed star.
I don't know which shape to choose for the number 9 🤭😅

Question 7
🪙 Steemit History 📜
When Justin Sun bought Steemit, lots of angry people got scared. One of their fears was that their beloved STEEM token would be replaced by TRON's TRX.
If TRON had converted all STEEM into TRX on that day, approximately how much would a user who had 10,000 STEEM (assuming no additional rewards or interest was earned) have today in USD?
Note: In case you use different conversion prices to me, please show your working.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
According to historical market data from Trading View, TRX was trading at around $0.023–$0.025 USD & STEEM was trading at $0.20–$0.23 on February 14, 2020.
Given that the calculation should be,
If STEEM is $0.23:
10,000 STEEM × $0.23 = $2,300
At $2,300 total value:
$2,300 ÷ $0.023 = 100,000 TRX
TRX is now worth $0.2434
So, 100,000 TRX at a price of $0.2434 per token would be worth $24,340 today.

And I was so close, I misread the TRX price.

✅
I haf different figures for the value of STEEM and TRX (from here) but everything's close enough 👍
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
If STEEM would be replaced, you got 1 TRX for 1 STEEM.
So a User would have 10000 TRX, which is now $2398.20 (with $0.23982 per TRX).
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Would that have happened? I worked on the basis that you'd get market value for your STEEM - which would've been a ratio close to 10:1 at the time.

I don't know. I didn't follow that at the time. It could also have been that only the name had been changed. We could also rename STEEM to MOECKI ;-D

It's amazing to see the different trajectory for STEEM and TRX since TRON bought Steemit. I wonder what would have happened if the cartel hadn't had a tantrum. I wonder what would have happened if Justin Sun had maintained his interest after the tantrum ended. It seems crazy that the people responsible for Justin Sun losing interest are gone, allowing them to partially achieve their objective.

Putting the puzzles in a story line is much more creative.
But I prefer the direct questions. I can concentrate better on the individual question and don't have to keep going back into the story because I'm afraid of missing something. And then I was disappointed too often because other guessers solved the pre-requisite question before me, which made the next one easy. But I was still looking...
