Tass' Mental Challenge - Starts Wed 10/24 @ 6pm EST
lets say 10,000 credits for the 1st to solve, 5000 for 2nd. But, we all know... the real prize is solving it and the associated bragging rights.
The format is pretty much identical to Rubix's 2 puzzles, so if you liked those, you'll like this. If you didn't like his... you'll still like this. Cause I'm just that cool. Will update this post with the riddles when it's time. Feel free to post comments below... I know a few of you are looking forward to this. And don't forget... the 1st step to solving it is to attempt it. THE CHALLENGE! Note: To make it clear... when you solve all 7, the way to submit your answer will become clear. Do NOT post any answers or hints here. Also, since it doesn't specifically say it... Challenge 7 manipulates the answers from Challenges 1-6 (like Rubix's... just not spelled out as clearly). Challenge #1 "Stopwatches are more than they appear in this digital age, so step to it." :17 7:14 :47 :37 18:30 Challenge #2 "For this step, be the ball." {[DS7475PIM - (NYY1956HRvKCA + LAL99003PM)] / (SDCQB2005TD/INT)} / RH1971HBP Challenge #3 "Take it one step at a time" icz odtv gcyly qcxy dnmiczj idux st lix midjjxtexy yphbcnpo Challenge #4 "With each step, you get closer and closer to the truth." Challenge #5 "What you seek is inside... follow the steps" 68738573777883567877 71575371705675896982 48755456674868535473 54568751897357778756 67875549678084568589 77708067855684697389 81545156807953886976 50565448506988765056 55777788827955567774 86758148745652848249 70665256508170755054 68567867707451487956 82675154485350565355 70668774805652658249 88496756855174787583 81566687655290878856 74527076677174565373 90667550655682837057 72548156498776516686 83568449548376515556 Challenge #6 "The path gets harder with each step. Perhaps you could get assistance from south of the border?" nufmunecbnorsrthgenouussfyrwrmtiufscbpfclaidarasxkrruneclpwugsowsowcdbohfwcarplfscobiplo ddkmdcnpisholwyhsaswiapohsuytnwhndifdfcyhcwmrsmacoccmhdogtpfhsbwdyapcloosdebbmdifti dppmkkkfdahtrywbnyddheaapggfsfardiuumifylgp [EDIT: ignore any spaces... the forums have done that, not me.] Challenge #7 "A Canaanite language will guide you on this step... but make sure you are heading in the right direction." "And they were herded 3 by 3, numbers and letters alike, onto the ark. After many long days and many long nights, the numbers and letters had bred with each other to the point that we could no longer tell which was which. But one stood out... alone from the rest. What is his English name? When you figure it out, please give him my regards." Hints: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...hought/106605/ , click only if you're stumped... there are hints for all of them, 1-6. 2nd hint for Challenge 5: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...49&postcount=4 2nd full round of hints: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...8&postcount=20

2nd hint to Challenge #5:
A general characteristic to a good set of steps is that they are each of a uniform length/shape/size/etc and/or uniform distance from each other.

Re: Tass' Mental Challenge - Starts Wed 10/24 @ 6pm EST
Yay, puzzles!
If I do try and win this, I'd have to do the whole thing in under an hour. That's probably wishful thinking on my part, but I'm going for it anyway. |

Actually gnr, it's perfectly valid to have a non-followed apostrophe if the preceding letter is also an s.

2nd wave of hints:
Challenge 1 Hint: Add the pieces, get a number, convert to a letter Challenge 2 Hint: I think Hint 1 should be good enough Challenge 3 Hint: The 5th word is Archowl Challenge 4 Hint: Just move the pieces around for the game. Stop on the bolded move. Challenge 5 Hint: ASCII Code... perhaps converting will be helpful in conjunction with the other 2 hints Challenge 6 Hint: 1 1 2 Challenge 7 Hint: heading in the right direction means flipping your 6-digit answer. Caananite language = hebrew. Hebrew letters have a specific number representation. The final answer is 2 English Words.
