Dear FFR,
It has come to my attention that it is currently
Easter, a holiday that can represent multiple things. It's a religious occasion to some, and to others, it simply entails lots of
eating chocolates hidden by some
fabled bunny. In either case, today is a special day (unless you're part of the subset that really couldn't give a crap about today)
As one of FFR's resident bunnies (not entirely sure who the others would be), I present to you a unique
easter hunt: one that will take you through the depths of your
mind to figure out how to get to the prize for this event.
I would like to commend
sayuncle990 and qqwref for actually sifting through FFR and completing the previous convoluted puzzle that was laid out. (Thanks to the other people who made attempts!), but I do want to point out that this time around, the puzzles will be different.
Today, I present to you
eight (8) different
puzzles, each yielding a unique answer comprised of only letters.
All of the information that you need to solve each puzzle will be contained
within the puzzle document. Other than that,
no directions on the rules to each puzzle will be given
at all. External resources such as the FFR website will be needed. Each correct answer
that you're able to report back to me will contribute to a
point count, which at the end, if it's high enough, will yield you certain valuable
token or credit prizes at the end.
Rules:
ANY AND ALL collaboration
IS ALLOWED!!!! Yes, this means you're allowed to make posts about it, chat to friends and foes about the puzzles, and anything else. However, sharing of answers is strictly forbidden.
Violators of this rule will be subject to
disqualification from the event. If you do know the answer to one of the puzzles, I recommend maybe giving helpful pushes to other people without completely giving it away. After all....
The
faster you solve puzzles (as compared to other participants), the
more points you will receive for them!
Speaks for itself, the first people to solve a certain puzzle will receive more points.
Harder puzzles will give you
exponentially more points than easier puzzles!
This means, if someone manages to solve the hardest puzzle....well you'll see.
PM all answers that you have to me. I do request that you submit a small explanation to how you got at your answer so I know the legitimacy of your efforts, but you don't have to if you don't wish.
please be sure to include which puzzle (either by name or difficulty) you're submitting answers to
Finally,
don't get discouraged. These puzzles were designed to wreck your mind as much as the like difficulty songs wreck your fingers. You have the
whole community to refer to when stuck. I'm sure the
combined intellect of the FFR community will be enough to at least scrape the surface of these puzzles. If not... I'll be sorely disappointed.
Your hunt starts now.
The puzzles are located here.
Good luck.
