madam_xelda says, "OK, here is how the challenge works."
alec says, "cool....its makes me taller.....im only 3 apples high you know"
madam_xelda says, "v"
madam_xelda says, "Those of you who have elected to cook will be given a recipe to prepare."
madam_xelda says, ". For each ingredient (hamburger, salt, water) and tool (measuring spoon, pot, oven) called for in the recipe the chef's will find an image to represent it and post the URL."
madam_xelda says, ". To begin with, only the cooks will know what the dish they are preparing is and what the menu price of the dish should be."
madam_xelda says, "Once the" chefs" have assembled all the items for their recipe, the staff will compile these images into a collage and provide it to the "table setters"."
madam_xelda says, "". The table setters will then provide image URLs for the side dishes, beverages, table settings, ambiance, etc. for this dish."
madam_xelda says, "The only way they will know what dish they are dealing with is if the chefs have selected their images well."
madam_xelda says, "Once the table setting crew determines what the dish is, they will be provided with the menu price as well."
madam_xelda says, "Once they have finished setting the table, their images will be added to the collage and it will be turned over to your restaurant critic."
madam_xelda says, ". The critic must evaluate the collage and decide what the meal is."
madam_xelda says, "With that knowledge they will determine what the price for this Chef's Special should be on the menu."
madam_xelda says, "We have taken the price for this dish from several different restaurant menus and averaged them."
madam_xelda says, "This is the price your critic must match."
jaron says, "wow"
vickie says, "neat challenge i cant wait!"
alec says, "exactly??"
jackie_ says, "yikes"
andy says, "the price is right"
max says, "be sure to leave a tip"
rocky says, "so when do I get to taste it"
jaron says, "the price is wrong....happy gilmore"
madam_xelda says, "You may only discuss this puzzle within the thread of the group you are assigned to."
madam_xelda says, ". Chefs talk in the chefs thread, table setters in the table setter thread, etc."
madam_xelda says, ". You may not discuss this challenge anywhere else."
vickie says, "can we look at each others thread?"
madam_xelda says, ". The threads are locked so that you may only access the threads you are part of."
jaron says, "good call"
vickie says, "oh"
rocky says, "can I ask a question"
madam_xelda says, "I will post the thread passwords in your journals after chat."
vickie says, "are we all preparing the same dish?"
madam_xelda says, "In just a sec Rocky"
alec says, "your going to clog up my journal with more entires??"
jackie_ says, "is it one dish"
madam_xelda says, "Keep your timeline in mind… the longer it takes the chefs to cook, the less time the table setters have to set the table and the longer it takes both groups to prepare the meal, the less time you critic will have to decide how much your dish is worth."
andy says, "lol alec"
madam_xelda says, "All 6 chefs are cooking the same 1 dish"
vickie says, "short order cooking guys"
lisa_ says, "k"
madam_xelda says, "Each player in the chef group must add at least 2 images to the collage."
madam_xelda says, "Each player in the table setter group must add at least 1 image to the collage."
madam_xelda says, "This challenge begins after chat and ends on Monday night at 6:00 pm CST as usual."
jackie_ says, "we can evaluate them and see what one we like...if we all post for all of them"
madam_xelda says, "How much you earn depends on how successful your critic is. we will subtract the difference between his price and our menu price from the possible prize money of $5.00."
jackie_ says, "?"
madam_xelda says, "Yes Jackie"
jackie_ says, "ok"
madam_xelda says, "Rocky your question>?"
rocky says, "can I see any of the threads.. 1 question... and 2 Can you tell me what area you looked at for prices?"
madam_xelda says, "No to both :)"
rocky says, "Thanks. ...luv ya"

madam_xelda says, "You will only see the finished product the serve you"
madam_xelda says, "Jackie"
jackie_ says, "yes?"
madam_xelda says, "You can all look at the images and select which ones to use."
vickie says, "can we compare threads more than one and choose the best?"
jackie_ says, "ok thanks"
rocky says, "I know what my last supper is.. I see a set up...."
vickie says, "great!"
madam_xelda says, "At the end you will give me a single message of all the images in the dish"
madam_xelda says, "If any are missing I will tell you the dish is not complete"
madam_xelda says, "Then I will make a collage of the images and pass it to the tablesetters."
rocky says, "So I might not get dinner til right before the last supper huh?"
rocky says, "Is this my doghouse punishment.. starve me"
lisa_ says, ".."
madam_xelda says, "When we get the images it will take us roughly 8 hours to make the collage so keep that in mind"
jackie_ says, "u better dream food - Rocky!"
