it's not what it appears to be

Sure I'm missing something obvious, but any hints for #45? (asp.net knowledge is power) I'm guessing it has something to do with the bold words, but all my googling is coming up fruitless..

A Javascript checker will catch 3. But one of the mistake is not a mistake. And then there is a mistake that the checker will not catch..... You'll slap yourself for hours once you see it. I'm still thinking "Why did I waste so much time on this!"

Think :

encyclopedic
ASP.NET
history and the date mentioned.
also find the hidden clock on the page that completes the date time.

Completely Lost on 23. I got the number grid fine, but it's the user name and password thing that I have no idea about. There's some hint about Peterbuilt drivers.

Halp!

Gotta look at the picture. The doctor is holding a what? What do you do with it? That should help you out.

once you fix it, the program will not error out, but will not work as intended, your answer as mentioned earlier is going to be short, less than 6 characters.

what is the last pic on 37? water? mercury? puddle?

timmychan wrote:what is the last pic on 37? water? mercury? puddle?

Big Hint.... The name doesn't really matter. Picture alone should be enough to solve it. But if it bugs you it's Mercury.

i got to 38 by ignoring it, but now it is barebone, cant tell if its on purpose

Heh, that was enough of a hint. Thanks.

So you're saying that a needle has something to do with trucks? I don't get it.

Read the past comments. Where do arrows and numbers coexist? Hint - Look Down.

Can anyone help me with 62? I found the missing letter but have no idea how to enter it?

ugh so obvious once you figure it out lol.. thanks!

up to 53, the regex, its tuff

timmychan wrote:up to 53, the regex, its tuff

not really, it doesn't have to be a smart or flexible regex.

It just needs to take that exact source, and produce the required answer. You could do it without a single . * or ? if you wanted to.

I posted a link to a good .net regex tester earlier as well.

I'm stuck here as well. I've found the destinations but none of them seem to be useful.

Hint: how many destinations are there?


Also, #75? I've tried opening that image with every program I own. The facebook page says that you need an external tool to get past this. I'm royally stuck--this may well be the hardest one yet!

Have we not yet learned to read the source thoroughly? Although I admit it took me a bit to track this hint down.

#52 with the Jeff Blankenburg photo, is there a way to figure out the words without just making an educated guess at the last couple words based on the first couple? I've been staring at it forever and what I think it should be does not work..

You should be able to figure out the 1st two words. Then using the symbols you know because of that it shouldn't be two hard to fill in the few blanks in the last two words...

You can make educated guesses. The symbols follow a pattern so once you find out few of the letters the rest is easy. I would start with JEFF and see where else the letters appear.

>palesius can you help me with 62? I figured out the missing letter but I don't know what to do with it. I also found the Javascript and all the sites and went to each one twice with no luck.

I'm stuck at #28 for over an hour now. No font I have matches the arrows and I'm clueless on how to proceed. Help? .-.

Aha! Thanks palesius and kazuking! Could have sworn i tried that combination right at the start.. Apparently not, then I got a letter substituted in where it didn't belong and it threw me off.. Starting over again from scratch got me on the right track!

Have you found all the clues?

Exick wrote:Hint: it's not a font-based puzzle.

Oh, I see. I also tried approaching it with an online cryptogram solver, but I got something along the lines of "chat is the answer to the ultimate question". I'm still unsure on what else I can try, but I'll think about it some more.

Exick wrote:Have you found all the clues?

count the number of sites, it should be obvious then what to do with that letter....

Exick wrote:Hint: it's not a font-based puzzle.

Actually it is. He just has to look more carefully. Unless he is using Linux or Mac.

kazuking wrote:Actually it is. He just has to look more carefully. Unless he is using Linux or Mac.

Yup, I'm on Linux. However, I did look at the fonts Windows 7 has but couldn't find one with this style of arrows.

Once again I am off to the corner. My doctor says he is getting tired of stitching my stomach.

Exick wrote:Hint: it's not a font-based puzzle.

actually 28 IS a font-based puzzle. The third font is the one you're looking for, if you're running windows at least...

Hint: 3rd times the charm!

Still stuck on 30!!

I got the oath. A google search brings up the name of the oath and the 4 paragraphs on a facebook group. (I've also found variations of the oath, but I'm sticking with the facebook one.)

I've read the hint over and over, and I'm not sure what is meant by 'title'.

I've tried each word in the name of the oath, as well as humanity and mankind which seemed like the correct answers.

Any help on this? Been stuck for hours.

Yeah, I thought he was talking about the other arrow puzzle. No, not that one. The OTHER one. hehe
