So this GA is my hub. You can ask me questions here. I'm not available between 23:00 - 6:00 GMT (I'm sleeping) and maybe between 6:00 - 16:00 GMT (there is a chance that I will get a job) so questions asked between these hours will have to wait.
I have written where hints are already put in ITH quiz (but you can still ask for more hints if these are not clear).
Also GAs are protected by no multiple win / no GAs activation check. There is no check on ratio, value and so on. Password from jeffhowe is at the end of the puzzle.
Puzzle consist of 4 parts (3 + bonus).
Reserved for something. 4 weeks are really long time, might want to add something and make it more visible. So you might want to check this GA / train before whole event end (tho I don't promise anything ~.^).

I thing that the 3. question in part 3 is broken. I finished all other questions, and I know the answer to the 3. question, but it wont accept it.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's correct, there is already one solver.
If you know answer for Q7 - it is said that it's last enzyme in whole process. Which means it's part of process from Q3 ;) So you can get to process from Q3 by knowing in which process enzyme from Q7 takes place.

I'm stuck here too now, I think I found the answer and have tried a one word and two word version but neither work :/
Isn't it the one with ch...? (I will edit this out later)
Comment has been collapsed.
No. The stuff you're thinking about is far more detailed than the answer I want.
If you're writing about certain theory, then the "products" of it (this theory) are used by process from Q3 to recreate molecule from Q2.
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed. Broken indeed.
EDIT: found but too hard to guess
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn...
Comment has been collapsed.
faragona or MSKOTOR, could you give me a hint about 3rd question of part 3? For the life of me i can't figure it out.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, first you have to define what the process mentioned in the question is. Then a simple Google search will give you the answer.
Comment has been collapsed.
I still cant figure it out. It's official, I'm an idiot XD
Comment has been collapsed.
You are not the only one as it seems. Some times I figure that it's simpler than that though. It's just that most creators rarely accept different answers for something, despite the fact that on a numerous of occasions the correct answers are many more than one.
Comment has been collapsed.
There are answers where I can wite:
H2O + Na => NaOH + H2
water + sodium => Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
Or other variations.
But there are answers that has got only one answer. There aren't any synonyms for example for "darwins theory" "calcium" "photosynthesis" and so on, so people have to be precise in what they're writing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed. However I've found in various puzzles here these days, academic answers that are not accepted at all. Depending on source some times you may get an academic answer that is not accepted, because for example the creator has stuck with the "term" or "step" from wikipedia. Anywayz...

Congrats.
Tho I see that you haven't tried to solve bonus past. Did you use wiki / internet to solve whole thing? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Only part of it. Most of the info in the puzzle is taught in high school here, so I just have to look for the terms in English. Except the *** and names of enzymes; you can't expect me to remember all that after so many years :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Delete this part before "names of enzymes" as it's huge hint D: Like literally it's solution for this question and I want people to came up with what it is by themselves :D

Arg, suddenly my connection to SG became a snail. Sorry for the slow editing...

Uh, the format of Part 2 Question 7? Even with the hint, it seems that I am wrong.
Does it start and goes like this? xxx'xxx xxxxxxxx
or should I use space when there are dots too?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's written what form you should use. So it starts like "A'B CDEFG ...".
You should remove dots (they're there to point that whole thing is made from 3 letter stuff). They don't indicate spaces.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, what I suspected. Will take another look, thanks.

So I went through part 1 and 2 without any problems... I had absolutely no problems with Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q5 form part 3... But I totally stucked at Q6 and Q7... Any help please?
Comment has been collapsed.
OK... Now I know... Q7 was just too easy... Q6 to go...
Comment has been collapsed.
Daaaaaamn... I was missing one letter whole time... All done. Thank you! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, cant even pass the first one, hints or no hints :P I'll try tomorrow but i have no idea what im looking at Q3-Q7 :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Have you tried solving it further?
Q3 - it's enough to check wiki page of Q2 molecule and you will find your answer.
Comment has been collapsed.
Stucked in Q6.. :/
Can I ask for the answer format?
Is the format without comas as the other multiple answers questions?
Comment has been collapsed.
In part one? With comma, it's written in the bracket :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry for not being clear.. Actually part 3.. :3
Comment has been collapsed.
There are 2 correct answers (1st is one word, 2nd is two words). But it's plural so for example "cats" instead of "cat"
So you don't have to list anything. It's one-term answer.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the info, finally solved it.. ;)
Before I thought they are two-term answers and thought that I use wrong format.. :/

Working on 5-7, finished 1-4

Still stuck on 5-7

Meat!
Hope it will help, it's mostly made of stuff from Q5-7 (well, apart from water xD) :D

Since I am a biochemisty I thought I would rush through these... then question 5 came. I wondered nearly halve an hour over this.
First I thought it was L2 or a strange form of BSA. But after that answer...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I just picked up simpliest molecule from data bank I could find + add these structures to make it obvious that it is what it is ;D
Or I thought it's gonna be simple D:
Comment has been collapsed.
Just for my curiousity, what was it at the end? Or shouldn't we talk about it here?
Comment has been collapsed.
The biomolecule? I will answer this when you write comment under one of my GAs in train after part 3 of this puzzle :D
Comment has been collapsed.
The format on Q6-puzzle1 is driving me crazy, NUTS. How do you want them written? I know the answer but there's many ways to spell them. Do you want the wikipedia term, the term with the greek letter, an answer for each word with "-" or space in between or not. Also, plural or singular? :O So many possibilities on answer that it's practically too hard to find...
Comment has been collapsed.
Cat meow, dog bark
So one comma, without greek letters and without "-", wikipedia terms, singular forms ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks. You can't imagine how many tries I did on that one while knowing the answer... Full google resistant too.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know the answer to Q3 Puzzle 3, but I have no idea why it is not accepted. What do you expect in it? I don't get it. Some hints on format/number of words etc, should be a must for such questions man... :/
EDIT: found after brute forcing stuff lol and before you gave hint.
Comment has been collapsed.
Two words. Last enzyme of this process is enzyme from Q7 P3.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok only P3Q5 left for now and it seems it requires knowledge that I do not have, searching google/wiki did not help much hmmmm...
Failed for today...
Comment has been collapsed.
You don't have to have any kind of knowledge. It's simple yes/no answer, you just have to use different words - look at the question closely :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I can't believe it... Would have never tried that... !

In P1Q3 aren't we talking about dumbo? ç.ç
And P1Q4 isn't dumbo?
Also P1Q6 I know the asnwer but what's the format? Format is hell -.-"
Comment has been collapsed.
First of all delete these answers D: Write just with which questions you have problem, don't write answers like that.
Comment has been collapsed.
Done XD Sorry but I thought they were wrong seeing that ITH keeps saying me "Wrong!" ><
Anyway I wrote the question with which I have problem there: first puzzle, questions 3-4-6
Comment has been collapsed.
3 - nah. Answer you have written is a complex of molecule from Q2 and something else. And in Q3 is just specific type of Q2 molecule. Open up wiki page of Q2 molecule and read first two paragraphs. The answer is there.
4 - you have written this right, but I've got no idea why you have used dots. It's exactly what you typed, but without dots after every "word"
6 - format is in my reply here
Comment has been collapsed.
Stucked in Q6 and its format :S
I'm following your instructions: no greek letters, singular forms, without '-', etc.
No greek letters means not greek name of that letter neither?
I have this answer (of course, with differents words :D)
spiral, creased pane
Comment has been collapsed.
You don't write "γ radiation", but "gamma radiation". So no greek letter, but full term.

Finally, thanks!

I really don't know what that blob in Q5 puzzle 1 is called, how am I supposed to guess? :(
I was hoping p... would work,especially after your hint with meat, but I guess it's too general.
Can you give me another hint, I'm at a dead end and have looked at hundreds of different molecules now with no hope to find the right one, there are gazillion different ones ;(
Comment has been collapsed.
It starts with p.... but it's plural.
So if you're trying to use single form it won't work.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok I feel stupid now, I have tried the plural but I had an e too much d'oh
Thanks so much for your fast reply!
