Re: Funmonkey54 and kjwkjw's un-FFRly Tournament

we didn't share answers.... he asked me for a hint privately, and i gave him one. so if i need a hint on one down the road that he knows, he'll give it to me. reciprocity.

yes.... need new round. must max another round.

Re: Funmonkey54 and kjwkjw's un-FFRly Tournament

ok. I thought you meant you flat out told him the answer. sorry.

kjwkjw does seem to be awfully inactive.

And lastly, the new round is on the 11th (tomorrow). I already have the games picked out for the whole tournament. I am just waiting on the mental challenges.

Re: Funmonkey54 and kjwkjw's un-FFRly Tournament

Sorry. There WILL be times when I lack. (with HW, essays and such XP) Just remember that I won't forget about this tourney haha. But where is that much to update if people aren't that active either lol.
And also, I will only provide hints for mentals that no one has been able to answer by the end of a round...which hasn't happened yet. That tells me I need better mentals =P

EDIT: Scores have been updated. Please...stop complaining.
CURRENTLY....Tass is winning with a max score of 10,050 (...) and jon is trailing close with around 9,400 points.

i wouldn't say that you need harder mentals.... i'd say that you need mentals that are slightly more obvious in what the object of the puzzle is. right now, the puzzles themselves aren't very hard, just figuring out what to do with the puzzle in the first place is challenging. round 1 mental 1 was straightforward, round 2 mental 3 was straightforward. the rest were more of "figure out what i'm asking... then it's simple. otherwise, you're FUBAR'd"

Which is why I gave up on this tourney. I can not solve a riddle that I have no idea how to start. Maybe if I had more experience in different types of riddles, and different ways to solve them, I would do well. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Re: Funmonkey54 and kjwkjw's un-FFRly Tournament

True. It really is about either having an idea of where to start from previous experience... or just from an ability to think outside the box and come up with the exact same thought as the puzzle creator. I mean, it's really just a different type of puzzle... instead of the goal being to solve the puzzle, the goal is to figure out how to solve the puzzle. Which is a puzzle by itself.

*shrugs*

Doesn't really matter to me... I can solve both.

I am trying. I'll have mathematical mentals coming up on the next round, so those should fit more into the "Here's what you have to do...go do it" type questions.

Re: Funmonkey54 and kjwkjw's un-FFRly Tournament

excellent. math = easy.

[kjwkjw]

Re: Funmonkey54 and kjwkjw's un-FFRly Tournament

But honestly, you people solve those token riddles lol. I can't even figure out where to start for some of them, and comparatively speaking, my mentals are probably easier to get where to go from.

Re: Funmonkey54 and kjwkjw's un-FFRly Tournament

but some of the token answers are OBVIOUS!

sorry but I had to do that :S

I'm dropping out. This has really just lost my interest.
Good luck to all the participants.

Oh hi again. I see a math-related round. Yay.
