Multiples of Four Challenge!

questar here, just finished j/o #4. 5 and 6 gonna be tricky. well, time to get drunk and eat some donuts

It's Ishmael. Just got home from class. Questar is killing it, though I think finishing tonight is ambitious. I got home and promptly took care of a few things. The only task I will struggle on is my 6. I'm at 3 right now and I believe 4 before I go to bed is questionable, considering the amount of beer in my immediate future. A nice case of whiskeydick is beginning to set in.

The jerk off aspect of this challenge is lame. Everyone will choose 6. Donuts, beers, and miles is solid though because I can see different people doing every combination.

TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE yay

Team America is a great movie, no doubt. We're about to head out to run together. Questar's legs feel like shit after 7.5 miles on the day (4.5 on the first run, 3 on the second) and his knees hurt a little bit. Maybe I'll get him to ice a bit after. His target is 3 miles for this run. Ishmael plans to run 3 (or whatever else Questar manages) with Questar, and then a few extra at the end. He hopes to get 6 in before bedtime. He also hopes to run by the local university food/bar area to grab some warm/greasy food. All he has eaten today is cereal (at 8:00 AM) and doughnuts. He wants grease and protein.

Agreed. Future versions of this challenge need a 4th event that requires significant thout about which number you choose. Will ponder and reply tomorrow.

Instead of beating off replace with sex with actual women. Know it would take you guys years but it would be better. Then watching wouldnt be wierd.

Well I (Ishmael) just got back from the run. Ran 1.5 miles with Questar, at which point he went inside. I ran another 4.5 to make it a 6 mile run (18 total) including a brief stop at the local pizza-by-the-slice place. My current tally of food for the day is 1 bowl of cereal, 8 doughnuts, 2 slices of cheese pizza. That's slightly disgusting, I suppose. When I returned from my 6 mile run, I found Questar asleep on the couch. The beer he opened before the run began is relatively untouched. He's going to have a warm/flat surprise waiting for him in the morning. I did force him to drink a bit of Gatorade and take a multivitamin before he passed out again. As for me, I'm going to try to pound a few more beers and at least one more J/O before bed. I'll be sure to post current totals when I retire for the evening.

Here is Ishmael posting the last update before bed.

Questar:

11/18 doughnuts

4/6 J/Os

17/24 beers

9/12 miles

Ishmael:

8/12 doughnuts

4/6 J/Os

15/18 beers

18/24 miles

Questar has 7 doughnuts, 2 J/Os, 7 beers, and 3 miles remaining. 19 total tasks.

Ishmael has 4 doughnuts, 2 J/Os, 3 beers, and 6 miles remaining. 15 total tasks.

I (Ishmael) feel pretty good about the whole thing at this point. Get up, J/O, eat a doughnut for breakfast, run 6 miles, get back, eat a few more doughnuts and drink a few beers, J/O. No biggie. Questar, I feel, has a much harder task.

Goodnight all!

Questar is still asleep. The man has the ability to sleep later than anyone I've known. I may need to wake him up at some point if he's going to have any chance at finishing this thing.

I (Ishmael) woke up, immediately took care of business, and ate a doughnut. I thought about running but I'm starving and malnourished, so I'm going to eat some semblance of a reasonable meal before trying to get the run in. This thing is nearly in the bag.

Just got in from my run. Even though I wasn't feeling good, I pushed pretty hard and ended up running faster than usual for my six mile loop. Running is done. I've got 3 beers, 3 doughnuts, and one of the other things to do in 4+ hours. Easy.

Questar is still asleep on the couch. He has 7 beers, 7 doughnuts, 3 miles, and 2 J/Os in his immediate future. Will he finish by 2:00? If he isn't up when I get out of the shower I think it's only fair if I wake him.

For women, of course, this would be pretty easy. I know several who could take care of this whole thing in the course of an afternoon/evening.

Though none of them, I suspect, would be dumb enough to.

Questar is awake. One J/O, one beer, and two doughnuts down. He still needs a J/O, 6 beers, and 5 doughnuts in 3.5 hours. Oh, and 3 miles, of course, although the first thing he said when he woke up was that there is no way he'll be running the 3 miles. Everything hurts too much. Ishmael needs 2 more beers, 2 more doughnuts, and a final J/O. Obviously this challenge is skewed in the regular runner's favor.

We're about to watch "The Room" which is apparently a hilariously bad film. Questar has discovered two methods to ease his task: microwaving thr doughnuts and drinking the beer out of pint glasses. With these new discoveries he is contemplating the possibility of pounding out those last 3 miles. We agree this is thr stupidest thing we've ever done.

Oh, and hot/melting plain glazed doughnuts really aren't appetizing in the midst of our other tasks.

My university buddies and I did this in my first year, except it was a little bit different and we called it "The BDM Challenge".

Basically, we only had the numbers 12, 18, and 24 and set the finishing time at 24 hours. The rest was the same. We all completed it and we all felt like complete garbage by the time it was over.

I chose to do 24 miles, 18 doughnuts, and 12 beer.

At 12:30 Ishmael finished the challenge. He hit 24 miles, 12 doughnuts, 6 J/Os, and 19 beers (1 over his goal). He's still drinking with Questar, until 2:00 at least.

Questar has 2 doughnuts, 3 beers, and 1 J/O left. The miles aren't happening. He can't go down stairs because of the pain in his legs. He shouldn't have a problem finishing everything else by 2:00 unless he really hits the wall. He keeps saying he wants real food but only has room for doughnuts. He hasn't had real food in 24 hours.

By the way, The Room might be the most hilariously bad movie we've ever seen (and we're sort of connoisseurs in that department). Highly recommended.

Questar called a friend who said "Oh fu.ck no! I'll be right over." looks like our friend is going to push Questar through thr 3 miles. Meanwhile he's working on number 6 and has 1 remaining doughnut and 1 remaining beer. Looks like this might happen.

Ishmael is still pounding beer.

Our friend is here in his VFFs to run with Questar. Hopefully the friend can show Questar how to tread lightly and save his legs from exploding. Questar suggested we do the entire challenge again, starting at 2:00 and just going right into Easter. Ishmael is 3 beers over his target so he would have a significant advantage. That suggestion will be passed on, though. Ishmael feels that only the 6 would be trouble. The test of the challenge was just like a regular day in the summer.

At 1:58, Questar finished the challenge with the exact amount of everything he needed: 6 J/Os, 12 miles, 18 doughnuts, 24 beers.

Although Ishmael hit his target (and went one beer over) at 12:30, he continued eating and drinking until 2:00 as well. He finished with 6 J/Os, 13 doughnuts, 22 beers, and 24 miles. Although the challenge is over, he is working on a fresh beer. Life is good.
