Tass' Mental Challenge - Starts Wed 10/24 @ 6pm EST

**Tasselfoot** · 10-23-2007, 05:02 PM

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 #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."

MrRubix · 10-23-2007, 05:03 PM

This will be fun

Engler · 10-23-2007, 05:03 PM

Sure.

**Tasselfoot** · 10-23-2007, 05:06 PM

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.

MrRubix · 10-23-2007, 05:07 PM

Heyy I edited my post to remove the arrogance

Shhhh.

It's very possible someone else will get it first. It should still be a blast though

**Adamaja456** · 10-23-2007, 05:08 PM

isn't rubix going to be the first to solve it anyways?

btw, i want to play!

**gnr61** · 10-23-2007, 05:09 PM

woohoo!

mead1 · 10-23-2007, 05:11 PM

I'll give it a try.

MrRubix · 10-23-2007, 05:11 PM

Let's get some competition up in here

That's the spirit

Fractal_Monkey · 10-23-2007, 05:11 PM

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.

**Tasselfoot** · 10-23-2007, 05:12 PM

i've informed some smart FFRers about this... Reach, Guido, Chardish, Blahblah... hopefully someone will give Rubix a run for his money.

**Sprite-** · 10-23-2007, 05:13 PM

alright only cuz u sent me the link lol. though, i have no chance

**gnr61** · 10-23-2007, 05:14 PM

The title of this thread should also be Tass's Mental Challenge rofl.

as long as we're trying to be smart in this thing >______>

g4z33b0 · 10-23-2007, 05:15 PM

sure mikey why not

Black Yoshi · 10-23-2007, 05:15 PM

uh yay?

chardish is there and rubix too...

im dead already. =.=

MrRubix · 10-23-2007, 05:16 PM

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

**MixMasterLar** · 10-23-2007, 05:16 PM

Posting so I can track this easier tomorrow

Glad it start's at the evening

EDIT: Holy cow guys last I checked Tass' is still good grammar.

qwert15789 · 10-23-2007, 05:17 PM

Do you have to post in this thred to be able to participate?

**ninjafury** · 10-23-2007, 05:18 PM

Oh snap a mental challenge from Tass!

**Tasselfoot** · 10-23-2007, 05:20 PM

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.
