A rather difficult puzzle

[linkspast]

I know there are some smart people here.
here is a puzzle with 200 levels and most only 61 people on the internet have gotten past 100....

[Sephiroth1218]

i can't get past level 3 lol.

[Patrick Burns]

I guessed on 3 and got it right, but I dont quite understand how it fits the entire clue ... stuck on 4, although I see generally what's going on and the connection in the song.

[Tensei]

Yup, pretty much stuck on four, I have a very good idea of what it could be and also how the song connects with it, but I can't come up with the right answer. Maybe the background has something to do with it as well?

EDIT: Got it, it's actually really easy, find the mathematical definition for the missing symbol

[shikigami]

i cant even finish the tutorial what the hell. i cant figure this gold thing out.

[Barnsalot]

I can't get the gold puzzle in the tutorial or level 4 in the real game. :/

Edit: Got level 4.

[Tensei]

Level 9 now, I just cant figure it out for the heck of me, and I want to get at least to level 10 so I can have mental peace D=

[TDKenyon]

I got to 11b and stopped playing. The answers were so much of a stretch most of the time that it's just not fun to me.

[shikigami]

ok the answer to the gold puzzle (puzzle -1) is something that seems completely unrelated.

onto the real puzzle...

i am completely baffled at level 7.

i hear theres a warp from 6 to 9 but i cant think of another answer for 6.

[TDKenyon]

ok the answer to the gold puzzle (puzzle -1) is something that seems completely unrelated.

But yet if you take into account everything you were told to (tittle, mouse-over description, et cetera) you should come to a decent conclusion, but you still gutta think open-mindedly.

I partially revoke my previous statement. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Looking back at the puzzles they really aren't too much of a stretch. The key, for me, is to think about everything in the puzzle very open-mindedly and out of the box.

[Tensei]

i am completely baffled at level 7.


Look for a common theme in the previous 2 levels (and this level), find a list on google that classifies this theme with four-number codes (look at the bottom right)

[shikigami]

But yet if you take into account everything you were told to (tittle, mouse-over description, et cetera) you should come to a decent conclusion, but you still gutta think open-mindedly.

it was just a little difficult to equate (spoiler) k->carat->^->exponent

but level 7 is just....vague

edit: got it.

[TDKenyon]

I'm enjoying 15

[Barnsalot]

I'm stuck on level 5. Is the answer an actual occupation or am I being misled?

[TDKenyon]

It is an actual occupation. It's one of those shitty puzzles that are a stretch.

[shikigami]

i got 5 pretty quickly, however i had already known that (spoiler) bookkeeper had 3 double-letters in a row and was the only word in english to do so

[Tensei]

I'm stuck on level 5. Is the answer an actual occupation or am I being misled?


Look for ANOTHER common theme between the two first words besides the first letter (the title of the level is a hint). There should be a pattern in this theme. It also helps if you look up a list of existing occupations on wikipedia/google.

Could anyone please just TELL ME the answer to lvl 9, it's supposedly blatantly obvious and easy to guess, but I've tried all vowels x5 (aaaaa, eeeee etc.) and none of them seems to be right.

aeiou? I dunno, I'm not even on the level, but just a guess from your description

[Barnsalot]

Alright, I got level 5. Thanks for the help.

[Tensei]

aeiou? I dunno, I'm not even on the level, but just a guess from your description

Well there's a song playing about vowels (a damn annoying song at that) and the levels title is Missing Vowel x5. The most logical solution (to me) would be yyyyy, or 125 (y= 25th letter of the alphabet x5 = 125), but neither of those is the answer.

[shikigami]

ok level 7 fucked with me and now level 8 is doing so. i have a feeling im going very far in the wrong direction.

EDIT: not more than 10 seconds after i posted this did the answer pop into my head jesus christ.

[TDKenyon]

I PMed you the answer.
Btw, is there a button I'm missing for PMing someone? I have to go to the UCP and then compose a new message to do it.

[shikigami]

not to mention that after clicking the link the hint says (moar spoailers): Try not to guess, but figure out exactly why

[RobotNinjaHornets]

I'm a complete n00b. I don't understand 3 D=

EDIT: Never mind, Googled part of it and got the answer

[Sephiroth1218]

im stuck on 6 now. any hints?

[TDKenyon]

im stuck on 6 now. any hints?
How are music notes represented in speech (If I am telling you the notes of my song, without sheet music, how would I do so?)

[RobotNinjaHornets]

im stuck on 6 now. any hints?
The music playing is very important. The password is the notes played

[Sephiroth1218]

got it thanks

[TDKenyon]

I find that the second 10 are easier than the first 10.

[RobotNinjaHornets]

ok level 7 fucked with me and now level 8 is doing so. i have a feeling im going very far in the wrong direction.

EDIT: not more than 10 seconds after i posted this did the answer pop into my head jesus christ.

...help please? =P

[TDKenyon]

...help please? =P
Google the numbers. And pay attention to the mouse-over & Realm

Lol the BGM from 21-61 are fitting for OCR.

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Help for 8 I mean

[TDKenyon]

Help for 8 I mean
Listen to what the song is telling you about santa, what is the "proof" that the song gives you? (You don't need to listen to much). Apply this concept to the weird text and figure out how the text relates to the number before it. Then apply that to number 6 (number 6 contains the answer, hence the "= ?")

[Red Shadow]

these things are always so stupid

[TDKenyon]

But they're still rather fun when you're bored.
I'm on 23. It involves lots of math. Bastard.

EDIT: 24 now.

[Jarvi]

wow, I feel really stupid now, level 2 makes no sense to me, I can see that it's a mirror, but none of the numbers seem to be reversed, unless I'm just retarded...

[Barnsalot]

Write numbers on a piece of paper. Put piece of paper in front of a mirror. read. Success!

Meanwhile, still stuck on level 6. I've used every music-related word that I can think of to no success just yet.

thanks lol, now I'm just stuck on three and googling isn't helping much

God I suck at these things.

EDIT: Eh, got to 6, but I can't tell notes by ear, so I have no idea what notes those are

[TDKenyon]

I had the same problem. I knew how to get the answer but, like you, I couldn't figure out the sounds by ear. I just looked it up (I was satisfied that I would get the answer if I knew the notes)
I'm on 27.7

[Parachnidox]

Thanks for this! I've been looking for another web puzzle in the spirit of Not Pr0n for awhile. Time to take a crack at it.

[dPaladin]

Ooh, this is fun. I'm not going to read all of the thread because I don't want people posting answers. I'm on five at the moment. Two or three slowed me down, but I zipped right through 4 for some reason.

[TDKenyon]

I'm stuck on 28, lemme know if you can help me. I'm very close.
Got it. The answer doesn't make sense, but I guessed it right.

[XZero]

I'm stuck at puzzle 5 in that I can't get the video to display. It brings up a log-in box (not the style to type the answers in); what do you do to get past that?

[Kanthos]

Does anyone know why the 5 vowel one is the way it is?

[TDKenyon]

@XZero:
The video is just a sound clip. It's a song from Harry Potter which goes something like "Double, double toil and trouble," from Shakespeare's Macbeth.

@Kanthos:
I don't know what you mean, but the solution makes sense, if that's what you're asking.

[shikigami]

...help please? =P

listen to the song. you will then understand the meaning of the list that is shown to you.

Does anyone know why the 5 vowel one is the way it is?

i have no idea what the 5 vowel one is. period. i just dont get it.

edit: again not more than ten seconds after posting i figure it out AND get it.

now its level 10s turn to mess with me :/

[AMT]

Dang, this is cool. I'm on level 12, decided to take a break for now. Level 6 was difficult, as was level 8.

[TDKenyon]

I stopped at 30 for today. I haven't taken a look at it yet.

[Kanthos]

@TDKenyon: I was asking why it made sense.

[shikigami]

i PMed you Kanthos

[Super-Duper Sombrero]

What the hell? Level 8 is stupid. I don't understand...

I can't think of any anagrams for any of the phrases...

[TDKenyon]

This should help you with the first anagram. From there, apply how the anagram works to the rest, and you should be good. Be sure to pay attention to the title(s).

[D3f4u17]

Wow i can not get past 3.

[TehDonut]

Level 23 is been bugging me for hours....I can't seem to figure out what the first part is asking me to find out..I got the other two numbers though...i think. Save me someone!

[mattoco]

The toys were discounted; a total amount of profit was made. What's the number of toys at a certain price required to equal that profit?

Hidden Hint:
You can't have partial toys or partial pennies.

[shikigami]

what the hell am i supposed to do in 26?

[mattoco]

Use your 'yogurt' skills that you learned in a previous level.

Hint:
You may need 3rd party software to solve this puzzle

[Super-Duper Sombrero]

Ok, I finished level 8. I already knew what I needed to do, but I'd never heard of the answer...

[shikigami]

ok.

what the hell do i do for level 30?

[mattoco]

That one requires you to recall something from a previous level.

Hint:
What do those two levels have in common? Use that with the new information to formulate the solution.

[shikigami]

highlight: im recalling level10, noticing the 12 and the 3, and thinking the bottom of the diamond is the 6 o'clock position. 6x5 = 30, but im not sure how to use this information.

i also thought that since it says 30 = 3 x 10, that it has something to do with the answers from level 3 and 10.

am i even on the right track?

[big giant circles]

JJT (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/member.php?find=lastposter&t=13681) is on level 82. PM him if you get stuck on any levels up to there.

[Admiral_C]

HaX! He must have taken a warp pipe or something...

[JJT]

big giant circles is a liar. i also hear that he is a closeted gay. that's right, a gay.

[mattoco]

am i even on the right track?

Nope: the solution itself has very little to do with numbers, aside from the numbers you are given on level 30. What it wants you to recall is the solution to level 10, then relate it to your current problem.

[anosou]

PM him for a good time

[Super-Duper Sombrero]

So I'm stuck again.

This time on level 12, the Mahjongg one.

I don't even know what direction to take for this one...

The music is good though, I like it.

[mattoco]

Hint:
Have you eaten your yogurt?

[Blue Magic]

WTF? I'm stuck on 3. I tried to use google, but I don't exactly know what I'm looking for.

[mattoco]

Probably one of the more confusing early puzzles.

Hint:
What is being pointed to can be considered the subject of the sentence.

[Super-Duper Sombrero]

No good. Still stuck on 12.

I don't even know what direction to take on this one, I've tried everything I can think of...

[Tensei]

No good. Still stuck on 12.

I don't even know what direction to take on this one, I've tried everything I can think of...

You have to use some creative googling to find out what this particular setup of Mahjong is called.

[Super-Duper Sombrero]

I hate this puzzle. This is just ridiculous.

I've spent more time doing research for this single level than I have for any kind of school project I've done...

*grumble*

[mattoco]

Hint:

The mouseover tells you what kind of winning hand you are looking for (by the number of points).

[Sinewav]

This is crazy. I'm at my wit's end on level 3. I've googled everything I can think of, and the closest I've come is that it has something to do with algebra that I probably don't remember.

[Scufo]

I'm completely stumped at level 7. It probably doesn't help that I don't know the name of the vegetable next to the number 7.

[mattoco]

Hint:
What's being pointed to is part of the answer (but not literally). Connecting that to the sentence clue will give you the whole answer.

I'm completely stumped at level 7. It probably doesn't help that I don't know the name of the vegetable next to the number 7.

Hint:
It is a red onion. Try searching for the given numbers in correspondence with the given vegetables, and see what comes up

[Arek the Absolute]

Mattoco, good sir, I think that the avatar below suits you a bit better than the one that you are currently using.

[mattoco]

You make a fine point; I did not have the role of hint guy in mind when I chose my previous one. Good show.
