Has anyone heard of this yet? I come around here so rarely now, you all might have seen this already, but I figured if anyone could complete this, it's you guys. I've completed the first two with like 2 mins of work and am waiting for more time to continue. Wow I suck.

Hey Kurto! Another voice from the past!

[Werebear]

I'm still busy typing stuff like "correct" in the box.

[Werebear]

bah, that took longer than it should have. ROFL

[Antrax]

Ugh, it's all English-oriented. No fun. (Werebear: for the record, the exact same puzzle exists in Space Quest 2 )

I had a perfectly good and logical answer for #2, but it doesn't like it. *shakes head*

[groza528]

Me too. I wonder if you had the same answer as me? inv: intersect

[casinopete]

I am stunned that the simple: lounger doesn't work.

[Quailman]

it worked for me.

[casinopete]

I have tried it thrice, and no dice.

[groza528]

that answer is correct, casinopete.

[mikeamok]

problem i had was simply hitting Enter after typing the answer in sent me to the wrong url. i don't like having to click their dumb Continue button, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

[Eykir]

Hint: Don't hit enter when done, click the Enter button. It worked for me.

[casinopete]

Aah. Thank you with muchness.

I'd considered that being a problem from the first page, but the enter key works fine from there, so it hadn't even occured to me that it might change.

You know, it strikes me--just having started this--that I'm wary of any word-based puzzle site that includes the sentence "lets just hope your the first category" (insofar as it contains two spelling errors and one semantic one--a person can't be a category, only in a category--and is part of a comma splice).

[Qball]

grrrrr .... how do you get the people across in less than 19 minutes?

[Gomez]

Grrr, I'm terrible at these kinds of puzzles. Can anyone tell me the answer to the Horse one?

[Qball]

Gomez, nightmare

I'm also casually trying to make my way through this at the moment. Anyone have thoughts on the tree?

Never mind, got it. right click, properties on those pictures :]
Try a more l33t approach, Q-man.

[Quailman]

No. I got stuck on it earlier. I think the acorns are there to let you know it's an oak tree (They're all over this part of Texas and look just like the pic, so I didn't need that hint).

[Gomez]

Thanks Quail.

Take the "/images/images" out.

[Gomez]

12 + 39 + 571 + 12 + 20,000 + 1 + 12 + 2 + 7 + 11 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 2000 + 2001 + 7 + 28 + 2 + 51 + (Vicious circle) = ?

The only thing I can think of for Vicious Circle is 'Pi' but I think I'd have trouble fitting that into the address line
Also, for 571 the clue is (You???) and I reckon that might be 571 because if You=U then we get U-571, a movie so bad it makes My mother the Car look like Citizen Kane. That could well be wrong but I'm fairly confident about the rest of the numbers.

I believe the state of britain = 51 (The 51st state)

Then there's Death Race 2000

[Lepton]

Oh, wait...it doesn't.

[Gomez]

It doesn't work for me

[Quailman]

It does???

[Qball]

isn't it 3 weddings and a funeral, not 4.

[Lepton]

[Qball]

24789

[Gomez]

Nice work QBall, just out of interest how did you get that?

[Qball]

well, first the movie is 2010, not 2001.

Second, I cheated.

[Gomez]

Stage 8 (invizzed)

Sequence 1 = 11
Sequence 2 = 19
Sequence 3 = 12
Sequence 4 = ?
Sequence 5 = 99
Sequence 6 = 135 (not sure about this one)

[Qball]

Crap, those are the same answers im missing Gomez.

BTW, Now that we know Vicious circle is 13, how is it 13? (Friday the 13th???)

[Qball]

Gmoez, seq 1 is 11, not 9.

[Lepton]

is 4 the rounded-off half?

[Qball]

Nothing in the integer seq database for the missing two seq's.

[Quailman]

For 4,I got 2. Divide by 2 and round up.

For the last I got 135. googled it

[Gomez]

D'oh! Thanks Qball
