I'm Having a Meltdown

**I'm Having a Meltdown** is the season finale of *Double Agents*.

## Description

The final three duos compete for their share of the grand prize.

## Final Challenge

For the final challenge players will compete in duos.

### Stage 1

For this stage, organize a time that works with you and your partner before completing this stage. When you're ready to begin, have one partner use the command `a.stopwatch`, and then someone use the command `!stage1` which will give you another version of the very first challenge this season, "Decode and Detonate". It will be a longer and harder variation of the original challenge, and your goal is to enter the correct answer as command form in your team channel. Once you have found the correct code, the same teammate who started the stopwatch can stop it. You have until 4 PM EST tomorrow (24 hours) to finish this stage.

**Results:**

* For getting first place overall in this stage, James had the choice to stay with Lem, or infiltrate any duo he'd like for the final time. James chose to stay with Lem.

### Stage 2

For this stage, you will be competing in an endurance challenge. The goal for this challenge is to post "I'm still up" every 5 minutes for a consecutive 24 hours. You will receive a channel specifically for this stage. You have free liberty over when you choose to start, but just know that when you start you are locked in and must continue for the remaining 24 hours. So if your first post is at :03, your next one should be at :08, then the next at :13, etc. If you mess up at all you ARE allowed to delete messages and you can edit messages as long as they're edited within the same minute time frame. The upside to this endurance challenge is that only ONE partner is required to post every 5 minutes, so you can alternate who will be posting at any given time. One partner can do the entire endurance, you can split it 50/50, or however you like. Remember to communicate with your partner. The team with the least amount of missed check-ins will win this stage. In the event of a tie, whoever posts their final message quickest will win (i.e. if one posts it at :00.01 and another at :00.02, the one who posted at :00.01 would win). You have until 4 PM EST on Friday (48 hours) to BEGIN this stage.

### Stage 3

For this stage, when you and your partner are ready to begin, use the command `a.stopwatch`, then use the command `!stage3` which will give you a board of numbers alongside math problems. You will use this board of numbers to solve the math problems to the best of your ability. Once you believe you have answered all of them correctly, the same teammate who started the stopwatch can stop it. The team with the most correct answers will win this stage. In the event of a tie, whoever had the quicker time will get the higher placement. You have until 4 PM EST on Friday (48 hours) to FINISH this stage.

### Stage 4

For this stage, when you and your partner are ready to begin, use the command `a.stopwatch`, then use the command `!stage4` which will give you a mobile app along with an explanation on what to do. The command will tell you a certain score, level, etc. to reach. Once you've reached it, you can screenshot the score. Once BOTH partners have done it, the same partner who started the stopwatch can stop it. Since you will be playing an app, make sure you have a mobile device ready to download and play a game. The team who finishes in the quickest time will win this stage. You have until 4 PM EST on Saturday (48 hours) to FINISH this challenge.

### Stage 5

For this stage, organize a time that works with you and your partner before completing this stage. When you're ready to begin, have one partner use the command `a.stopwatch`, and then you will begin doing another version of the ninth challenge this season, "Washed Away". In this version, you will be posting the phrase **RETRIEVES PUZZLE PIECE X** with X being replaced by whatever puzzle piece you are on, i.e. Puzzle Piece 1, then Puzzle Piece 2, etc. until you've reached 200. The phrase must be bolded and spelled correctly, but capitalization doesn't matter. Each partner must alternate, so one partner does the even numbers and another does odds. You cannot change who does odds or evens after you've begun. After you've reached 200, you can do the command `!puzzle1` which will give you a puzzle. BOTH partners must finish this puzzle, then you will count 200 more times, so rather than counting from 1-200, you will count from 201-400. After you've reached 400, you can do the command `!puzzle2` which will give you another puzzle. Again, BOTH partners must finish this puzzle, then you will count 200 more times, from 401-600. Once you've reached 600, use the command `!puzzle3` which will give you one final puzzle to complete. Once BOTH partners have finished the third puzzle, you can stop your stopwatch. You are allowed to edit or delete any messages as long as you haven't moved onto the next puzzle. For each message that is not bolded or correctly spelled, you will get a 1 minute penalty. The team with the quickest time will win this stage. You have until 4 PM EST on Saturday (48 hours) to FINISH this challenge.

Upon completion of the final stage, Issy totaled the points and announced the final results.
