William Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 I have tried everything I can think of... I think my brain is fried! Maybe this is about the numbers at the bottom of the puzzle pieces.

samuraipizzacatpolly Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Hey, what if this is a red herring? Because most plots have them, and the Pink Uni riddle had two answers. So maybe there was one answer that is the correct one, and the other leads to a red herring. But don't take my word for it.

The answer is much more sensible than Nigel.
Akilet Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Well, I managed to get the code down to 0:0 ... it didn't work though. I could have kept going, actually. Heh heh... :S
William Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Has anyone figured anything out about this yet?
nycole22 Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Has anyone figured anything out about this yet? i haven't and i don't have any ideas but i do beleive that this one is not the one after the uni one. i think it is another one...
MariaWB Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 What's a red herring? Is it n english or american saying? The only herring I have heard of is the one painted green and nailed to the wall in MirrorMask This post has been edited by a member of staff (Matt) because of a violation of the forum rules. 7 or more words, please.

Matt Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Maria - A red herring is an answer which could be the answer, but is only there to distract you from the real answer. If that's not too confusing. No, I won't tell you the answer. The sentinels might do that at a later date. What I am going to say is... well... 2 things. 1. Being logical in this puzzle might hinder you rather than help. 2. You've got to love Eric.

Matt Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 It's to promote conversation, not off topicness like you're doing right now *glares*. Now I'm stuck. I need to add something to this conversation without giving anything away... Urm... The puzzle uses loads of numbers, but there's a certain number which triggers the correct/incorrect screen.

How can you get stuck, didn't you help make it??? Matt edit: I meant stuck trying not to break the very rules I'm here to enforce. Ooooh.. Well that IS a predicament =) Seven.

We don't like that. Please check your user inbox to see if you have been contacted regarding this incident, then review our rules.
William Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 The number that triggers the incorrect screen is 5:anything. I've gotten it to 0:5 before, and nothing happened. Hmm. I think I'll tinker with it some more later. Im also at the multiple choice part after solving the overthrow riddle. I don't really know which way is the correct way, so I'll do both.
DOOM Bringer Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Did you just say that you solved the overthrow riddle? If so can you give me a hint?
Awesome_Paul Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 You can only solve the overthrow riddle if you have all 15 puzzle pieces. Though there are 2 overthrows, One midway, and the final which you need the pieces for)
Struud Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Could someone pretty please give a hint to the alternate answer? It's the one with the pink uni right? I don't really get it, but I'm sure it's important. Help us find the answer so we can try solving the number one, too! : D
Strategos Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 The puzzle uses loads of numbers, but there's a certain number which triggers the correct/incorrect screen. Based on that quote, we can safely assume that because the same number triggers the right/wrong screen, the first number must be 5, because we have proven that to trigger the wrong screen. Anybody who wants to help me with my big project, please PM me. My big project is to put the second number at 990, then 980, etc. (since you can only go by tens) and get the first number onto 5, which by that step will get the second number onto the goal number. So if you're interested, please PM me and I'll give you some numbers to try.

Also, our member numbers are two apart.
nycole22 Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I'll help you. I think you should know though, that you can go down by fives, as click on 19 results in +1:+565. Also, our member numbers are two apart. did you figure this one out as well?
William Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 did you figure this one out as well? No, but I'm trying. I'm working on both this one and the create-your-own-adventure one at the same time, but getting nowhere.
nycole22 Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 No, but I'm trying. I'm working on both this one and the create-your-own-adventure one at the same time, but getting nowhere. well you are further than me anyway
William Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 well you are further than me anyway You'll catch up soon enough. It's not that hard, especially with everyone being so helpful.
nycole22 Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 You'll catch up soon enough. It's not that hard, especially with everyone being so helpful. so far, for me, you have been the most helpful person
William Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 so far, for me, you have been the most helpful person I try. People helped me, so I'm helping others.
shadowgrrl Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 okay, so i've compiled a list of the numbers and their outcomes on the ratio and i'm wondering if the solution really is 5:5, because there's only one number (as mentioned previously) which has an outcome that's not a multiple of ten will post list upon request.
