Howdy, folks! As many of you are aware, I'm one of the youngest people on this forum. Well, in just a few days, I'll be legally joining the ranks of you cranky old adults. On January 29th, I will be turning 18! What joy. What fun. What excitement.
...actually, screw it, I'll probably be just as lazy and snarky as I am already.
Regardless, since I'm fairly infamous so far for delivering puzzles, I'd like to do something different and have you guys offer ME puzzles! Here's your chance to finally deflate my ever-expanding ego!
Or, if you're more the kind of person who just needs a prize of some sort in order to join something, here's a little additional incentive:
- the first tier of the current Humble Bundle, donated by snowkatt
- Melter Man and Space Thinger ,donated by cecil
(note: all games are Steam keys)
Rules are as follows:
1. Post a puzzle or riddle of some sort. It can be anything. Logical, mathematical, lateral, whatever. Lateral puzzles are my personal favorite, but that's just me. Also say which game or collection you're in for.
2. I am allowed to ask any questions I please, and you must answer them unless it will give away some vital aspect of the puzzle. I am also allowed 3 hints. As far as what these hints consist of, I'll leave that to you to decide. The point is to have fun!
3. You may present multiple riddles and puzzles, but please only give another one after I solve or give up on your first one.
4. If your puzzle/riddle is deemed by me to involve some sort of ridiculous logic, was something I wouldn't have gotten anyways thanks to lack of historical/cultural/mathematical knowledge, or is just simply too much of a stretch ("The answer is fish, because the first letter of each sentence spells 'HOLY', which you use to figure out the phrase 'holy mackerel', and mackerel is a fish!"), then I'm not counting it.
5. I'll give out the prizes based upon my 3 top favorite entries. I also have a secret bonus list of games to be offered to people who successfully stump me. Note that I'm not stumped until I say I'm giving up. Until then, just assume I'm still in the process of working on it.
6. Feel free to try to solve somebody else's puzzle. Again, the whole idea is to have fun!
Puzzles I'm in progress of solving:
_Slaugh_'s pattern puzzle
_Slaugh_'s second pattern puzzle
Lifthrasil's number puzzle
Puzzles I've solved:
Tannath's car puzzle
misteryo's rope puzzle
toxicTom's puzzle story
Djaron's mystery
Gnostic's logic puzzle
Dessimu's cryptogram puzzle
Puzzles I've successfully been stumped on:
Edit: I just got a whole boatload of games for the giveaway, courtesy of Gnostic! I'll obviously have to rearrange the prize-giving rules a bit. I'll change it up depending on how much activity this thread gets. Just know that you should not say that you're "not in" just because the prizes don't interest you. There ARE MORE PRIZES. I just don't know how to distribute 'em yet.
