mishalunchbox Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I entered Round 461 and didn't win a prize. Who cares about the pocket change, though, i care that my answer was correct and i got scre.....er, treated unfairly. We were asked to identify what these items have in common: Baby Cabbage Advent Calendar Keyring Lab Jellies Broken Heart Grundo Thief Wintermelon Since they are all candies, i answered "candy." But no, even though they are all candy, my answer is somehow incorrect. And you know, i could live with that if they hadn't given a solution that is flat-out wrong!!! They say the answer is "Chocolate Factory." However, Grundo Thief Candies do not stock at the Chocolate Factory. A Shop Wizard search shows no "see if this item is available" link to check shop stocks Manually entering "Grundo%20Thief%20Candies" into the Item Lookup URL shows that the item "doesn't exist or is too rare." JellyNeo's item database states that it is "an exclusive item from the Daily Dare." I could deal with losing if my answer were wrong, but i'm right and Lenny is wrong, so i'm venting!!!! :grrr: :sick02: :skull: :whofarted: :evil_notsmiling: :angry: :S :axehead: (stream of obscenities replaced with stream of emoticons for your protection) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well, the advent calendar isn't technically a candy. It has chocolates in it. o.o But yes, I see your point. They shouldn't have included the Grundo Thief. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn the Human Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I was soo, confused with this one. I knew they weren't items, because of the Advent Calander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I was soo, confused with this one. I knew they weren't items, because of the Advent Calander. There are a number of item Advent Calendars, as well as the December daily. As seen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishalunchbox Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well, the advent calendar isn't technically a candy. It has chocolates in it. If it contains candy, they still all have "candy" in common. I wonder if they'll rectify this? I submitted a bug ticket <giggle> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 If it contains candy, they still all have "candy" in common. I wonder if they'll rectify this? I submitted a bug ticket <giggle> Well, my point was that it contains chocolate, which isn't technically a candy (at least, I don't consider it so). But since candies are sold at the Chocolate Factory, I suppose I just have to deal with the fact that TNT disagrees with me. :P It'll be interesting to see how they respond to that! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 They do stuff like this all the time. There was that maths one a few weeks a go where they claimed it was one less than the real answer, and no one won. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome Back Apathy Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well, my point was that it contains chocolate, which isn't technically a candy (at least, I don't consider it so). Wha? How is chocolate not a candy? Candy just is a sweet treat that has sugar/sugary stuff. Chocolate is candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Wha? How is chocolate not a candy? Candy just is a sweet treat that has sugar/sugary stuff. Chocolate is candy. I've always considered them two seperate entities. o.o I donno. Candy is sugar disolved in water, with flavours and colours added (typically), and chocolate is cocoa mass, mixed with various amounts of sugar and other stuff (or, if it's white chocolate, substitute cocoa butter for cocoa mass). (perhaps my brain just wants a way to eat chocolate all the time and not call it candy. ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Charismatic Enigma Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Neopets always finds some way to turn these Lenny Connundrums into something entirely too difficult, something entirely too easy which makes it difficult, or something entirely too stupid. The last three have been no exception (this one, the 'climbing a mountainside' one, and the 'how many bricks are needed to build the house' one).

mishalunchbox Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 I got a response from support... it's not exactly the flat-out "[removed] and close this stoopid ticket" i was expecting. It's a little bit more like one of those "we have placed your resumé carefully into the circular file" letters you sometimes get while job hunting: We have read your ticket and have categorized it internally based on the specific issue that you reported. This means that we can always find your ticket (or others with the same issue) if we have more information to share. You don't need to submit a new ticket for this same issue. We can even reopen tickets that have been closed if we need to get a hold of you :) Since your ticket has been all handy-dandy categorized we are able to distribute and prioritize the issue you have reported. Unfortunately we will not be able to give you an exact date of when this problem may be fixed (since any time frame is subject to change) but we are aware of it and appreciate your report! Issues that impact the whole site will be fixed for everyone at the same time so you don't need to worry about being left out :) This post has been edited by a member of staff (PlasmaFusion) because of a violation of the forum rules.
