Welcome to the GSAT Test Tontine!
You may ask, “What is a tontine?” Put simply, a tontine is an old-skool pension scheme that combines the properties of an annuity, life insurance, and a lottery. This is how it works – each investor pays a sum into the tontine. The funds are then invested and each investor receives dividends for their lifetime. As each investor dies, his or her share is then divided among the surviving investors. This process continues until the last investor standing inherits the entire sum of the fund.
In lieu of each GSAT Test member investing their own funds, the Godfather, Don Samuelson, has generously offered to provide the startup funds for each participant in the tontine. In the future, Don Samuelson may ask you to repay this favor. As a sign of respect, you would be wise to repay said favor.
I understand that many of you are ambitious investors and will try to maximize your investment. Perhaps other participants may need to be “cashed-out” of the tontine so that your fortunes are realized? I leave it to you to determine how to best become the lone survivor and inherit the fortune of the tontine!
For the historically minded, you may go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tontine to read more about tontines.

'Rambo Jack' eliminated 'Zorro'.
Waited for him to come back to his cube and then killed him with a socks bomb.
Yeah right! Looks like Rambo has included this as part of his commitments – so much that he felt too happy to eliminate his manager who happened to be my target. But anyways – I guess he is now the clear winner and I would like to crown him the title “The Jackal”

She threw the spoon, I threw the socks. She missed me but I didn’t miss her.
Yep, I was in a call when Rambo Jack came to my cube and threw the socks at me. I couldnt do much other than throwing a spoon…
Yeah even on phone you tried to kill me, so I had to kill you.

'Rambo Jack' eliminated 'SDET of Death'.
I was just waiting for him in the hallway and then came my socks bomb.
Rambo Jack is a true rambo….I forgot to keep my spoon for defense when I went for meeting.
