Team Two - Chat

[Hannah]

I've got B4 posted and my next one will be to E4.

[Hannah]

Is F6 necessary? We may need to shoot E6 on that ship I'm working on.

[Christy]

I guess let's see how far down your ship goes then we can reevaluate that area.

[Christy]

Bringing the target list down to the next page -

G2, I2
F3, G3, maybe H3, J3
Maybe F4, I4
C5, E5, G5, J5
F6, H6/I6
J7
F8/G8
C10, F10

[Bess]

I'll take G2.
Thanks for this. I had no idea where I left off. :/

[Emily]

I’ll take C10, F10, F6, I6.

[Christy]

Updated target list below. I've taken out everything we've called to date. I've searched horizontally and vertically, and tried to find all spots where a 3 spot ship or longer could be hiding. G3 should be the next spot called so we can try to sink that ship. If anyone sees where we can tighten these targets, please chime in. :)

I2
G3, J3, maybe H3
I4, maybe F4
J5, G5/H5, maybe E5
J7
F8/G8

I have three spots as maybes. I think the other spots are clearer targets at this point, and if those spots are not fruitful, the three maybes would be the next best place to hit. Thank goodness we've already found our 2 spot ship.

[Hannah]

Grabbed G3.

[Hannah]

Thank you for the list, Christy!

You're welcome! We're in the home stretch now. :)

[Christy]

WOW! This last round of targets was our best yet, and from the looks of things, we've identified where all our remaining ships are. Below are the spots that look to be obvious targets.

H3
G6
H6

The hits that we have at C5 and C10 could go either direction.

Way to go team!

[Emily]

I took H6 and G6.

[Christy]

I'm taking H3.

Row 3 and Row 6 are going to hold our 4 and 5 spot ships. That means we'll need to figure out the direction the ships are pointing at C5 and C10. That could also mean up to 10 more spots to be called unless we identify the right direction in those locations quickly.

Here are all the potential spots around C5 and C10 where a 3 spot ship could be pointing. I suggest targeting these spots next.

C4, C6
B5, D5, E5
C8, C9
B10, D10, E10

I suggest holding off on calling I3 until we know if we've found the 4 spot ship there. If the 4 spot is in row 6, then the 5 spot has to be in row 3.

And if we somehow read more than 10 books before the next update, here are the last possibilities of where our 5 spot ship can be.

I3
E6, J6

[Christy]

Ladies, the finish line is in sight!

The last two spots to call are E6 and J6. Once we do that, I think all of our ships will be sunk. :)

[Hannah]

I got E6.

Excellent job, team! We just have one more shot to send out and then we are done!

[Christy]

Oops, I meant to say E5. Just to make sure we have our 5 spot, we could also call F5 to be safe.

The one on 6 has to be the 5 spot. We had four shots and it's not sunk yet.

So 5 has to be a three spot, since the 4 is previously sunk.

[Emily]

I think I got all the remaining spots.

[Christy]

I think you did, too. :) I am almost done with my latest that I was going to post, but you beat me to it!

For some reason, I had in my head that there were 2 four spot ships instead of 2 three spot ships. So sorry for any confusion - either way, looks like we got everything!

[Hannah]

I finally got on a decent reading streak this weekend, so I have three books ready for any strange emergencies (such as a stray sixth ship or any other unforeseen issue).

[Lanelle]

Congratulations on your win, Team Two!

[Andrea]

Way to go, Team Two! Y'all cruised right through that final board so fast!

[Christy]

Thanks Lanelle and Andrea!

Thanks to everyone on our team as we persevered to the finish line! It was so much fun participating in this type of challenge with everyone, and I read a ton more books than I normally would have thanks to it. :)

[Emily]

Yay! We won! Great job everyone! It was a fun challenge :)

[Kimberly]

I agree, it was great fun.
HUGS

[Bess]

yay!
