capital_soccer_kid_1 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hate to ask - but do you guys on here rally together to actually get the answers for the weekly contests like Mystery Pic or Lenny Conundrum? Because.....if not, can we? Or are there some very strong principles against it that I'm not aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 TNT dislikes anyone to group up to come up with the answers and share them to anyone but themselves. It makes it unfair for the ones that actually figure it out themselves and with more winners, means less neopoints everyone gets for guessing correctly. Here's the rules from LC that also correspond with MP: IMPORTANT: Some people have been creating multiple accounts to enter the Lenny Conundrum multiple times, to win multiple prizes or to improve the chances of winning. Please do not do this, it makes the game unfair for others. We will freeze the accounts of people that we find doing it. Also, giving out the answer or any hints is against the rules. Please help to make the Lenny Conundrum fair for everyone! Rebecca~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poptart123 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I know groups of people trying to figure it out and post the answers is against the rules as well as submitting the answers on multiple accounts. But here's a question...When I was in middle school (a little after neopets was created) my best friend and I would try to figure them together. Is this also against the rules?

flyingeevee Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I know there might be a few people that would solve them together....but it's still against the rules whether TNT finds out or not. It's mainly because it's unfair when an individual would go through the process of solving it themselves without help and then they only get maybe 100 out of the 2 million jackpot because friends share with friends that then share with more friends or groups xD It's just best to solve it yourself, explain it after the answers are released, and then feel super proud of yourself for solving it alone :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capital_soccer_kid_1 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I just have never understood or gotten ANY Lenny Conundrum.... And can I ask, HOW do you even go about FIGURING the mystery pic? Maybe if I knew that....then I could actually even going about trying to figure it myself....

flyingeevee Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I've never gotten any of the Mystery Pics either to be honest xD LC varies on difficulty, but try to guess every week and there's always that chance to win! There was this one time where only 2 people won one LC question and I was surprised that I was one of those people...and all I did was guess an 11 lettered word! So it doesn't hurt to try and figure out the pattern, math, or whatever to the question ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The way I see it, puzzle-solving is a bit like playing the piano. Some practice will help you get the technicalities (like you know what kind of puzzle it is ) down pat & the rest depends on other factors like the individual & luck. I used to play a bit of online riddles so things like examining the source code, determining the cipher is not much of a problem. But to put everything together, to make sense of the clues is a totally different matter :tired: I have a friend who is really good at these things. She is very much of a left brain person so spotting the patterns in letters & logic puzzles are a breeze for her. I get some of them eventually, after some head-desking xD Like what flying eevee has said, don't give up! If after the answer has been announced & you don't get how they arrive at the solution, perhaps starting a thread here to disccuss the solution will help with the puzzle-solving skills :) Looking at the recent Mystery Pic, they seem to have gotten harder. Last time some of us would use an image editing program to shrink the image to figure out where it came from. But this also depends on some luck as it detects answers by keywords. So good luck & keep trying :) Lamppost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Some of the Lenny Conundrums are just a matter of luck. Others are kind of easy. Others are just ridiculously hard. Just keep at them though- one day you're bound to get one right. :) I don't even know about the Mystery Pictures though. I am always amazed that anyone gets those!

SidtheSnail Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My favourite was one of the dumb trick questions and I guessed right, and there was 5 of us that got it. that was a good time. But avoid groups solving things like that. they lead to banning and stuff. Seeing as we are affiliated with Neopets it would be really bad to have them see us breaking the rules.

capital_soccer_kid_1 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yeah. Okay. Good to know. I still really don't get Mystery Pic though. I have no understanding of how it is possible to see out of all the images that are the site, what one set of 50x50 pixels can be... That idea of going over PAST Lenny Conundrums though, that sounds like a GREAT idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Aww no u. I can't claim credit for it. I got the inspiration for my fabulous idea from you c: I just have never understood or gotten ANY Lenny Conundrum.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bandit Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Funnily enough: Dear Steve B, Congratulations! You have guessed correctly in the Lenny Conundrum game (round 477). You have won 828 NP! (wow I'm rich :D ) Yours Sincerely, The Neopets Team! That one was pretty easy - even if you couldn't work it out you still had a one in three chance of getting it right. Some are much more difficult, but if you check it every week there should be an easyish one fairly soon :) karmacow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passiflora Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 As everyone else has noted, it's against the rules to share answers, but even if it was allowed it's not to your advantage. :P I have no idea how people get mystery pics LOL. I like the conundrums though, and it never hurts to guess even if you're not sure, especially if there are only a couple possible answers. Sometimes it helps to consult Google if you can identify a type of problem that TNT is asking - it can help you learn about how to solve it and (as far as I know) isn't against the rules. I was one of less than 10 people to solve a tough conundrum a while back, and once I knew what they were asking for, I still had to read a wikipedia article about ciphers and work the whole thing out on paper (with multiple tries) before I could submit the right answer. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miemieh Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Does anyone know how long it takes to get to the '250 first awnsers of the Lenny Conundrum'? Cause, I think I've submitted the right awnser -I have to.Really. It just... ahdjahsdjakhdjak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capital_soccer_kid_1 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I was about to ask the same thing. Surprisingly, I was uplifted by this current Conundrum, with hopes that I DO actually get it....though, does anyone know whether a person gets into the first 250 or not?

flyingeevee Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The only way to know if you're one of those first people is when you get it right and then get a neomail stating that you were one of those 250 people. Usually helps if you refresh whenever the news just comes out and then answer the question right away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a super easy one, you want to answer within an hour of it being released (generally) But really it all depends on the difficulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
