Arpenteur

L'Arpenteur est un type de géant quadrupède mécanique utilisé par Freelancers.

Les arpenteurs sont essentiels dans Bastion. Ils sont utilisés pour transporter des gens, des ressources et des marchandises vitales sur de courtes distances ou lors de longues expéditions dans les terres sauvages. Un arpenteur peut abriter un amplificateur et jusqu'à quatre javelins en même temps. Leur gigantesque taille leur permet d'éviter bien des dangers, mais il restent vulnérables aux chimères et aux attaques coordonnées. La plupart des arpenteurs peuvent tenir le coup s'ils se trouvent à proximité d'un cataclysme, mais commenceront à se désintégrer s'ils pénètrent à l'intérieur.

## Aperçu

Dans le passé, les **arpenteurs** transportaient des humains entre leurs colonies, agissant comme un lieu de sécurité sur leur voyage. Aujourd'hui, il n'en reste que quelques uns. Bien qu’ils puissent encore être construits, c’est un effort minutieux à faire, compte tenu du manque de production de masse de l'humanité.

Les arpenteurs servent de base d’opérations avancée qui permet aux Freelancers de se réapprovisionner, de se réarmer et de choisir entre les javelins. Un Crypteur peut opérer depuis l’intérieur de l'arpenteur, en utilisant son Fauteuil de cryptage. Pour le déploiement, les javelins sont levés de l’intérieur de l'arpenteur au sommet du véhicule par l’écoutille. Il a un intérieur exigu.

> Les lourdes articulations de l'arpenteur protestèrent lorsqu'il s'immobilisa. Ils purent sentir la chaleur de la végétation luxuriante à travers les fenêtres. Ils prirent une dernière inspiration pour s'en souvenir, car ils ne disposeraient pas d'air frais dans les Bois d'Hellébore, mais uniquement de l'oxygène recycle par les systèmes de l'arpenteur. Là-bas, l'air extérieur était mortel. L'arpenteur était leur foyer à présent, mais tous étaient déjà habitués à vivre entre quatre murs. L'équipage entreprit de sceller les fenêtres avant de plonger résolument dans cette terrible jungle verdoyante.

Ball Handler

**Ball Handler** is a challenge of physical intelligence on *Canada's Smartest Person*.

## Description

You must launch a ball up the ramp and down the bounce wall, anticipating where it will fall in the catch zone. Using your throwing hand, you'll have to catch the ball then swap it out in the ball rack and place a white ball on your labyrinth. Once you've exchanged all five balls, tilt the labyrinth to move the balls one at a time to the opposite end of the maze. If a ball rolls off, you'll have to start again. The first to get all five balls safely in the endzone of their labyrinth takes the challenge.

## Episode 208

Ball Handler was the sole challenge of physical intelligence and the eighth challenge overall. Jessi Cruickshank explained to the contestants that the contestant in 1st place would earn 4 overall points, the contestant in 2nd place would earn 3, the contestant in 3rd place would earn 2, and the contestant in last place would earn 1. She then explained to the viewers the instructions and how they could play along with the contestants on the Canada's Smartest Person app.

The contestants had to launch five red ball, one at a time, up a ramp and down a bounce wall and successfully catch them all. They then had to maneuver five white balls, one at a time, down a labyrinth and successfully sink them all in the endzone. Tim Blais finished catching his red balls 39 seconds into the challenge, Jason Vander-Hoek finished catching his 41 seconds into the challenge, Anthony Craparotta finished catching his 46 seconds into the challenge, and Katy Warren finished catching hers 54 seconds into the challenge. Tim finished sinking his white balls 2 minutes and 1 second into the challenge, Anthony finished sinking his 2 minutes and 10 seconds into the challenge, and Jason finished sinking his 2 minutes and 42 seconds into the challenge, forcing Katy to stop.

As a result, Tim was awarded 4 overall points for finishing in 1st place, Anthony was awarded 3 for finishing in 2nd place, Jason was awarded 2 for finishing in 3rd place, and Katy was awarded 1 for finishing in last place.
Bouncer

**Bouncer** is a challenge of physical intelligence and visual intelligence on *Canada's Smartest Person*.

## Description

*Retrieved from CBC.ca*

The competitors bounce a ball on a drum in an attempt to get it over and under a series of obstacles. Every obstacle they clear is worth one point and every basket adds another three points.

This simple-looking challenge is deceptively complex. To succeed competitors need to make split second calculations about how to move their body through space, while keeping the drum level and the ball bouncing steadily. It’s all about making instant visual assessments and translating this information into effective physical movements.

## Episode 103

Bouncer was the sole hybrid challenge, representing physical intelligence and visual intelligence, and the fifth challenge overall. Jeff Douglas explained to the viewers the instructions and how they could play along with the contestants on the Canada's Smartest Person app. Jessi Cruickshank explained to the contestants that the contestant in 1st place would earn 10 overall points, the contestant in 2nd place would earn 6, the contestant in 3rd place would earn 4, and the contestant in last place would earn 2.

The contestants had 1 minute to score as many points as they can. The contestants had to maneuver themselves and the ball under the first obstacle, bounce the ball over the second obstacle and catch it on the other side of it with the drum, and bounce the ball into a basketball net in order to complete the course. If a contestant's ball were to drop, they would only have to restart from their dropping point, not from the beginning of the course. The contestants would earn 1 point for each obstacle cleared and would earn 3 points for each basket scored.

Mith Das and Norm Odjick were the first contestants to take on this challenge. Mith completed the course 5 times, resulting in a score of 15 points. Norm got past the second obstacle, but was never able to complete the course, resulting in a score of 2 points.

Melanie Martin snd Lisa Preston were the last contestants to take on this challenge. Melanie got past the first obstacle, but was never able to get past the second obstacle nor complete the course, resulting in a score of 1 point. Lisa completed the course 1 time, resulting in a score of 5 points.

As a result, Mith was awarded 10 overall points for finishing in 1st place, Lisa was awarded 6 for finishing in 2nd place, Norm was awarded 4 for finishing in 3rd place, and Melanie was awarded 2 for finishing in last place.

It was revealed that Jeff himself had received a percentage score of 95%. However, the scores for the public are calculated differently than the scores for the contestants.

### Summary of Results

 **1st** | **Mith Das** | 15
 **2nd** | **Lisa Preston** | 5
 **3rd** | **Norm Odjick** | 2
 **4th** | **Melanie Martin** | 1

Michelle Zakrison

**Michelle Zakrison** was a contestant on Season 3.

## Background

*Retrieved from CBC.ca*

What brings a young lawyer to Canada’s northern territories? In Michelle’s case the answer is a passion for social justice and to learn about and advocate for indigenous communities. After arriving in Nunavut she realized quickly that it was home. She has immersed herself in local culture, learning to speak Inuktitut and becoming a leader in the Iqaluit LGBT community.

Beyond the law and advocacy, Michelle loves performing. She has been able to use her skills and experience as a hip-hop dancer to begin teaching dance to adults in her community. She has also discovered a passion for acting, recently taking on her first lead role in a play.

Michelle’s open-minded approach to learning and trying new things has served her well so far, and may just help her bring the title of Canada’s Smartest Person back to her new home territory

## Episode 304

As Michelle entered the stage with her competitors, a clip of her and the other five contestants, Brittain Bancroft, Siera Bearchell, Darryl Gidyk, Devon Jones, and Bruce Tsuji, introducing themselves was shown. In this clip, Michelle revealed that she comes from Nunavut and that she hopes to bring the title back to the north. In the first challenge, the Speed Round, Michelle received an overall percentage score of 50%. As a result, Michelle finished in 4th place and was awarded 1 overall point.

With the first challenge and the resulting double elimination out of the way, a more elaborate clip presenting Devon, Bruce, Brittain, and Michelle in that order was shown. In this clip, Michelle stated that what feeds her soul is performance and that she values social intelligence as much as, if not more than, book smarts. In the second challenge, CSP News, Michelle identified 4 correct words in the first round, 4 in the second round, and 5 in the final round. With a total of 13 correct words, Michelle finished in 2nd place and was awarded 3 overall points.

In the third challenge, Mix Master, Brittain and Michelle both earned 3 points, but the latter answered faster on average than the former did. As a result, Michelle finished in 1st place and was awarded 5 overall points.

In the fourth challenge, Gear Head, Michelle correctly assembled her blue gears 1 minute and 17 seconds into the challenge and correctly assembled her red gears 1 minute and 52 seconds into the challenge, but was forced to stop her progress 2 minutes and 15 seconds into the challenge due to Devon correctly assembling her green gears and triggering her whistle second at that time. As a result, Michelle finished in last place and was awarded 2 overall points. After the first four challenges, Michelle had received a total of 11 overall points. As a result, she finished in 3rd place and was eliminated from the competition. Jessi prompted applause for Michelle in spite of her elimination.
