Er.. did the Psych answer make much sense to anyone else?

Yay! I's POWERFUL now!
I'm too tired to figure out what the answer means. I do know, however, that I will go with my second choice last round, Xpurrt. I think if one more person votes with me, we can win (or rule out another person, anyway...) But yeah. I'll post my articles later.

Its the end and I know who the editor is!!!
Well i know who the editor is. it's tedger i have voted for him and never been fired. Winner has to be the assistant editor and dolphin can't be the editor because she wasn't on for something to do with the memo. If you think I'm wrong please prove me wrong

You never know how important something is until you lose it.
This round, please post the 50-word voting article and engage in active, intelligent discussion (I think it's pretty obvious what that constitutes); minimum three (3) constructive (relevant to the game objective, not the game storyline) posts per round per person from now on; each post must be at least 25 words. Psych response encouraged but not required. Please try to discuss such things are writing style, content, mechanics, attitude towards HR/LD, etc.
The Psych question and answer both make sense if you read them clearly, tedger. Please PM me if you need clarification.
Any questions about the rules of the game (general WTB rules or specific guidelines for this game) may be directed towards the Attorney for the time being. I trust she will provide accurate, sensible answers if needed.
Thank you. (I can't wait until final exams are over.)

Ok, last round we said the Editor had to have been either Ehebil or Xpurrt, because they are the only non-QMs. Looking back, the post MIGHT have meant that the Editor was already a QM but wanted to be one for another category? But I highly doubt it. Obviously dolphin is clear, because when one memo had been sent out, she hadn't been online for 2 days. Xpurrt claims that tedger is the Editor, but I feel the writing style is more like Xpurrt's. Basically, the grammar is correct and there are minor, common spelling errors. Also, the sentences are long and convoluted, with a noticeable lack of punctuation (mostly commas). During the rounds, Xpurrt also noticeably lacks capitalization, but he could easily change that for the memo (or maybe 4demo could have). Xpurrt also uses more sentence fragments than tedger does. Therefore, I am positive that Xpurrt is the Editor!

My Take on Things - dolphingurl
I think the Editor's writing style is closer to Xpurrt's than Tedger's. I doubt 4demo would change things like capitilization since she keeps telling us compare writing styles. Xpurrt has been fairly certain that it is tedger all along and I think this might be him trying to divert people from thinking he is the Editor. So, I think it's tedger. I think winner was cleared like myself at one point. Anyway, I think the Editor is Xpurrt.

Let me clarify something. I'm not pressing anybody to compare writing styles. I'm trying to encourage you to take advantage of all the resources you have, and writing style is just one of the major ones you might want to consider. It may not be very helpful, but I'd like to see some "intelligent discussion" now, and personally, I think that's a good place to start.
Besides, I already stated very indirectly who the Editor is in one of the previous rounds, if anybody was paying any close attention.

Go ahead and do as you wish. Remember if you vote for me and I'm not the boss that could make you a lemming and you would get fired. If I am the boss(which i am Not!!), then I get fired and you win. you will find me as the boss after this post but no matter I don't care go get fired. I don't mind. Take your time. No offense to anyone of course just trying to sound annoying in a joking tone.

Well, that's ok. If this game doesn't end after this round, whoever's left (assuming the Rat is out of the game) will go for tedger. No hard feelings...

On second thought, I'm not sure which specific round, but I know it's been "mentioned" previously. You just need to know exactly how I think... which isn't as easy as it sounds.

It's not clearly stated (obviously)! It's inferred through some logical reasoning and seeing things from HR's point of view. That's all I'm going to say.

That's because HR doesn't have a perspective. And tedger, I don't know what dolphin was referring to, but I'm already a QM for three categories, including Movies, so if that doesn't clear me, I don't know what will...

Sorry, for some reason I thought she'd been cleared. I scanned all the posts and couldn't find anything, so I'm not sure why I thought that. Anyway, I still think it's Xpurrt. Winner began most of the game finding ways to clear people. The Editor wouldn't want to clear so many people that could possibly be suspected instead of themselves. Or maybe it's just brilliant strategy. I don't know, but Xpurrt's writing just seems much closer and the whole QM thing fits better with him. Sorry for the confusion.

Interesting logic, dolphingurl, I'll give you that. I've never really thought of it that way, to be honest...
Winner, HR DOES have a perspective. The current perspective is that the Attorney ought to be fired.

Well I am happy. Everyone else is voting for me. My name will be cleared as soon as the next round starts. Although I am just curious, lets say I'm not the boss. Let's discuss who else it could be with our remaining time. No this doesn't mean I want out early.

Find the value for x that satisfies both equations:
x^3 - 25x^2 - 16x - 250 = -4x^2 + 70x - 7
and
(4x^4 - 300) / (x+5) = 86 - 23x
Assuming I made the right equations, it should work.

thought it might help sorry not good with math.

Hint: The solution is an integer. If the equation doesn't factor once you set the polynomial expression equal to zero, then something's wrong. If you have no idea what factoring is, take a graphing calculator, type in the same expression (set equal to zero) and find the roots (zeroes). It might be helpful if you know at least a little algebra...
If that's still confusing, try this equation: sin(5x^2+3x)= sqrt(x) / (2x/3) ... or something similar...

Xpurrt not being fired doesn't mean that much cause there's always been some one who didn't vote or post their articles or something. They're always fired first. I don't think we should completely erase him from our suspects list.
