Question Phase
The three of you will have 2 minutes to correctly answer as many trivia questions as possible. For each contestant, keep track of the ratio of the number of questions answered correctly out of how many questions were asked* to that person. Not answering at least 5 questions or not answering over 50% correctly will cause you to be voted as the weakest link, which will lead to a strike. Use the keyboard to type in your answers.
*If the timer goes off before the question is answered, it does not count as a question that was asked.
Elimination Phase
You will now need to choose who you will vote as the weakest link. If only one contestant has the same skill as you, type in their name to eliminate them.
Otherwise, use the percentage of the ratio taken from the question phase rounded down to the nearest integer as your base. For each character in the contestant’s name (including duplicates), if the character is in the serial number, add 1 to the percentage. Convert numbers into letters (1=A, 2=B, etc) with 0 meaning J. Eliminate the person who has the lowest percentage.
If there is a tie, eliminate the person whose name is alphabetically first.
