NYT Strands today (game #360) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #360, are…
- CHALLENGE
- JURY
- MERGE
- REWARD
- ALLIANCE
- IMMUNITY
- SPANGRAM: SURVIVOR
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 hint
I don’t know why someone hasn’t set up their company in the format of SURVIVOR. It would work great for a boring office. Each day employees could win advantage amulets by completing a CHALLENGE like making spreadsheets, fixing a flickering light or answering the phone to an unhappy customer.
The staff canteen could be replaced by a fire pit, where depending on their achievements the employees get to eat either soggy rice, roasted squirrel or divide a fish between 25 people for some much-needed protein.
Then, at the end of the day, the boss could oversee a tribal council in reception where everyone votes for who annoys them the most and that person is fired.
It’d be more civilized than some of the places I’ve worked.
