Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Tee hee, I threw off multiple people into making the same incorrect calculation

That you did, the way you worded it tricked me at first, but i got it in soon enough anyway.

Well where's the fun if it's -too- easy? These aren't meant to break your brain or anything, just give some clever people a chance to win a tourney without being forced to be the best FFR player.

Are limited to one guess or something? Because I solved it. And I'm not up there. :\

Here's my score for Tetris Remix.



And it looks like I was one too late on getting my PM in. Oh well.

Round 1 song is posted, Round 2 puzzle is posted.

But I send another PM. :/

oh. I have to send the full explanation of how I got it? D: lame.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Updated to here, 5 correct answers so far.

Edit: And Zageron, I'm going to basically cut everyone slack -once- on strict adherance to the listed rules. I see you posted on the relevant profile within the time limit, so I'll credit you with coming in last on the round 1 riddle.

For future reference for everyone: All riddle/puzzle rounds require a private message to me to count for points. You need to provide whatever information I specified in the stating of the riddle. In the case of round 2, for example, I need both the list of unscrambled words -and- the name of the song for the round.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

I know this is asking quite a bit, but is there any chance you would consider holding off on the mental rounds for the weekend?

I don't plan on being home friday or saturday night, and I'm sure others will find themselves in the same situation. Seeing as how the mental rounds are an element of speed, this is a huge disadvantage. Plus doing so would give everyone a chance to catch up on playing the actual songs.

Obviously you can't adjust to suit everyones needs, but weekends off would be nice. I'm just enjoying this tournament and don't want to fall behind

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

As it currently stands, a new riddle will go up at 11:59 pm on each of
monday, wednesday, friday, and sunday. Meaning that two rounds from now, will go up late friday night, and last all weekend.

If that is seriously problematic for say...at least five people who have all submitted responses in all rounds until then, we can postpone, but since this is going to last for some time, all songs are playable at all times, you're looking at missing out on 1-5 points out of upwards of 100 possible points (if there are 10 rounds) which isn't so significant that I'd feel justified in postponing the whole thing for one or two people.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Hey, rounds start at 5 a.m. for me, but I'm okay with it.

And here's my Tetris Remix score before I forget about it:

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Would people like it better then, if I slowly moved the times forward or backward?

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

I'm not sure if that's necessary. I think I'm the only player who can't make the start of the round due to the times. It's not feasible to mess about with the starting times just for one or two people if everyone else is happy. Besides, I should be able to still get 4 points on the riddles for being in the first ten.

That said, I'd ideally like start times around 5-6 p.m. EST. That would probably accommodate everyone who wanted to join.
