Week 2: Power of Veto Competition

[Minerva McGonagall]

Minerva: Welcome to the Power of Veto Competition!

This competition is called Bomb-Bardment.

Here is how it works!

In each round, I will present you with a certain number of bombs, each worth a different number of points. You must choose which bomb to throw. At the end of ten rounds, the houseguest who accumulates the most points will win the coveted Power of Veto!

But here's the catch - in each round, if more than one person goes for the same bomb, neither of them will get the points! You must be the only person to choose a particular bomb in order to score the points!

All you need to do is post in your Diary Room which bomb you choose in each round. Specify "Bomb A" or "Bomb B" etc, rather than saying "2 points", since some rounds contain multiple bombs of equal value.

Communication and strategising is fair game.
