Challenge 15: Opposites

Dualism defines Chinese cosmology in many respects, but none so potent as Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang can represent such disparate dualities as winter and summer, disorder and order, dark and light, and even the peaks and troughs of waves. However, despite describing sets of differences, yin and yang really represent one common force, the paradox of existence itself, the interrelation of opposites.

In this challenge, you'll be discovering for yourself the interrelation of opposites. You'll be given two words, and tasked with connecting the words through as few opposites as possible on thesaurus.com. For example, if you were given the words "delicious" and "illiterate", you could connect the words by going from "delicious" to "tasteless" to "interesting" to "dull" to "intelligent" to "illiterate".

When you're ready to begin, you'll fill out this form, and complete your links as quickly as possible. You may use as many connections as you wish, but failing to complete a given set will result in a 15 minute penalty and an automatic score of 50 connections for that set. The person who uses the fewest total connections across all sets of words will win immunity. In the event of a tie, the faster solve will win immunity.

Time Expectations: This challenge should not take longer than 75 minutes.
