Wisdom Of The Woods

**Wisdom of the Woods** (also known as Canarian Folklore, Tajik Folklore, Divide and Conquer, and Okavango Folklore) is a challenge that originated in *Black Hills*. It has since appeared in *Canary Islands*, *Iskanderkul*, *Socotra*, *Okavango*, and *Lofoten Islands*.

## Rules

Each person is given a video based on the location (or the culture of the location) of the ORG season. They are encouraged to take notes. Then, once they are ready, they enter a command to receive questions based on the video. Whichever tribe has more total correct answers wins the challenge (with time as a tiebreaker).

## History

This challenge's debut appearance is in *Survivor: Black Hills*, where it was used as the immunity challenge during the Hidden Tribes twist on Day 11, where each competitor was contributing to a tribe they didn't know they were a part of or who was also a part of it. The new Vo'Kome won the challenge.

In *Survivor: Canary Islands*, the challenge appeared on Day 10, directly following a tribe dissolve. This time, tribes were split into two groups of four, and each group did the challenge together, with their times added up to create one total time for each tribe. Gomera won over Hermigua by a margin of just eight seconds.

In *Survivor: Iskanderkul*, the challenge returned again as the Day 17 immunity challenge. It was formatted individually, similar to the *Black Hills* format. The challenge was won by Vahdat with 4 more correct answers overall, marking their seventh consecutive tribal challenge win.

In *Survivor: Socotra*, the challenge was used for the Day 20 immunity challenge. Tribe members were tasked with assigning themselves one of four categories - Food, Culture, History, and Geography - and they would have to answer 10 questions based on that category about Socotra or Yemen. Each category would be a match-up, with tribe members scoring points for their tribe based on performance. Darsah took 1st place with 7 points, Mukalla got 2nd place with 3 points, and Wadi lost the challenge with just 2 points.

In *Survivor: Okavango*, the challenge was used as the Day 8 immunity challenge. Following a similar format to that of *Canary Islands*, the tribes were split into two groups of four, with each group doing their own category of trivia together. Their score were added up to create one total score for each tribe. Both tribes got everything right, but Ngami managed to secure their first win based on time (which was the tie-breaker).

In *Survivor: Lofoten Islands*, the challenge assumed a similar format to that of its appearance in *Socotra*, but this time, the tribe split themselves into groups (2, 2, and 3) to take on three categories of trivia - Geography, History, and Mythology. However, after Amber quit the game on Day 2, the challenge had to be rebranded as a reward challenge, where an idol clue would be given to the best-performing contestants in each category. Anesu, Capy, Pyro, Rhys, Sugar, and Tommy won this reward.
