My favourite time of the year!

kjemperud6• 14 years ago

How many chapters are there? At Chapter 4 now - I took way too long figuring out the chess reference.

bard• 14 years ago

I'm at 17 so far.

tenaciousJk• 14 years ago

I'm stuck on 16... doesn't seem to be doing anything after I shared the folder :/

kjemperud6• 14 years ago

Looks like chapter 24 is called Endgame. I guess this answers my own question. Just one damn crossword puzzle to go!

sirclueless2• 14 years ago

Is this normal?

    {"error": "Service unavailable, please re-issue request."}

jontas4• 14 years ago

I'm getting the same thing. I wasn't 100% sure I had it correct, but since other, similar URLs issue a 404 this makes me think we got the URL correct. Either I am not seeing how this relates, or they are having issues.

ominous2• 14 years ago

for me, I changed https -> http and it worked.

petroica• 14 years ago

Just keep refreshing.

jontas4• 14 years ago

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that.

simonb• 14 years ago

Are people brute-forcing the 5 letter password? ;)

jontas4• 14 years ago

It seems like that would be a lot more work than just figuring it out the right way..

michaelmartin6• 14 years ago

I got this as well, but refreshing will fix it.

If you're on that page, you've got the right answer. The wrong one will give you a 404 error instead.

DivisibleByZero• 14 years ago

Keep refreshing and you'll get the right page.

kjemperud6• 14 years ago

I just tried again, and it worked.

mdanger3• 14 years ago

Thrilled to see this is back!

asselinpaul• 14 years ago

On chapter 5, I understand they are outlets but nothing will do....

michaelmartin6• 14 years ago

Google for types of power outlet. That one had me for ages as well.

kjemperud6• 14 years ago

Should you enter the whole names or only the first character of each? Or something else?

angelangel8• 14 years ago

isn't number 2 and number 6 both NEMA? The only difference is the grounding part

pronoiac• 14 years ago

This will help, but it's a pretty big spoiler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets#Comp...

angelangel8• 14 years ago

alright i need help with chapter 6. i think the colors are there to confuse me and i believe the letters stand for month, day, and year. now i need help figuring out the order :/ any hints?

mdanger3• 14 years ago

I think the colors must mean something, but being colorblind doesn't help me.

There doesn't seem to be an orange box, though?

angelangel8• 14 years ago

bottom right box is orange and for a moment i thought the colors were the key. im still not sure

powerc90005• 14 years ago

bottom right corner is orange

powerc90005• 14 years ago

do you think the color says what box to look at next?

michaelmartin6• 14 years ago

Take the image and invert the colors in it. Then you'll be able to work it out. :)

powerc90005• 14 years ago

if you invert the colors there are some colors lying about what color they are. they all correspond to a m/y/d

powerc90005• 14 years ago

anybody know anything about chapter 6?

dropinhott3• 14 years ago

Looks like these are HTML color codes http://html-color-codes.info/ but that is as far as I got so far.

dropinhott3• 14 years ago

I was wrong - not html codes

kjemperud6• 14 years ago

I'm stuck at Chapter 19. Anyone know the language of the Asian looking letters/numbers?

powerc90005• 14 years ago

did you try to put them into translate.google.com it usually detects the language

kjemperud6• 14 years ago

It's an image, so it's a bit difficult to copy/paste them ;)

EDIT: I could try Google Goggles though

EDIT2: Hint for other people - it looks like it's Chinese Horoscope Signs

sirclueless2• 14 years ago

I think I got the first two parts, I'm just confused as heck by the last one.

ith3aq• 14 years ago

You subtract the value of the red cards from the value of the black cards to fill in the blanks.

angelangel8• 14 years ago

Chapter 7 requires some math. that or just bruteforce the password :/

swalberg3• 14 years ago

Google is a great calculator :)

angelangel8• 14 years ago

it is, but i still don't know how this trig fits in with the letters provided. =|

dropdeadfred• 14 years ago

Any clues for Chapter 8? Is it a substitution cipher?

swalberg3• 14 years ago

I'm completely lost on that one too. The two strings don't have the same number of characters.

dropinhott3• 14 years ago

no luck with online anagram websites :(

rowanquigley• 14 years ago

I've got the files from 16 but it makes little to no sense on what to do, anyone willing to advice me?
