Don't give up, you're so close. What is stopping you on 1? Do you not have the photon speed?
5 is tricky I admit. Half of the times are not really numbers. This means, for instance, 9:04 is not 9:04 but either the 9 or 4 is not a number written as-is

I've had the photon speed for 2 days now...its just that I can't get all the numbers to add up. They aren't fitting. I'm calculating the numbers, and I have an answer that's way off the mark, and there are too many 6's and 9's that don't come up in leetspeak.

Edit: and for number 5 I'm just missing somethings...all the hints go in 1 ear and out the other.

For #1 make sure you are converting things correctly. 1 km = 1000 meters, 1 myriameter = 10,000 meters, meters per hour = 60 * meters per minute = 60 * 60 * meters per second

Hey rubix, this doesn't have anything to do with your tourney but could you make a video of you solving an online rubiks cube?

[MrRubix]

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

Yeah but I suck horribly at online cubes. I can give it a shot though.

Cool, thanks

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

This is driving me nuts. I can't get a half-decent time with an online cube, it's just impossible. I need to have it in my hands.

Alright got a slightly sub-3 minute online solve. Horrible horrible horrible, I can't use the more complex algs because I only really know them in my hand muscle memory and I can't really extrapolate it to a virtual cube. Uploading it anyway.

I'm just not gonna even try. This is just too much. I'd kill myself before I figured it out.

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

Are there other challenges besides Mental/Speed/Skill rounds? (not that I can think of any).

Suggestion: A Maze-like game would be fun to play. Something like the classic Lolo game on NES where you had to push blocks in the right spots and shoot certain ennemies or bricks to make your way out of the maze, pretty fun.

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

I am considering bumping up the number of rounds just to make it more interesting. Anyone opposed to this?

This tournament is so fun. It could go for a year and I would still be in it. It even takes priority over the official one.

[MrRubix]

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

Well I mean I can make it as long as people are willing to play it

Edit: Just to let people know I am probably going to start evaluating scores by rank, setting the top score at some amount depending on relative difficulty and then decreasing each score by like 3-5% or something like that to get a more prudent range. (even when I do this to the old scores, it doesn't change the order much, just changes the variation a bit).

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

Urg I just have 5............could you give just one more hint.....it seems like I should be able to get it but I can't...

[MrRubix]

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

? you just have 5 what? 5 left?

Ok, the times can be written in a different manner.

Each time can be written another way. But only half of it should be rewritten as more than just its number. They should still be numbers... just make one of the numbers in each time a different form.

Some hintexamples: 12:04 would be L
1:01 would be O
