You are unstoppable...! I've lost way too much time on zelghadis-1 + cognitive-2 puzzle I admit. Not sure if I want to spend more time on those, seems not worth it... Only finished one till now, and that with quite some help... The difficulty spike here cannot be compared to the pyramid puzzles... I'm overwhelmed..

Jeff's the master puzzler. He can solve everything. ;) Yep, Jeff, too many nice, but spoiled, things. :(

Hey I almost gave up but when I finally told myself to slow down and take the whole month to solve... then the stress let up and Im doing better...
you will like Lucky Shamrocks..,, enjoyable..

Bop to the Top. For those who haven't noticed some puzzles got additional hints and are more accessible now so try them again. And for those who have problems with Q10 of my puzzle. I literally posted a link in the opening giveaway which calculates the needed numbers. You just have to get the formatting right.
Solve puzzles, have fun, win prizes. The odds on a LOT of giveaways right now are fantastic.

Any news on the 4 people that haven't done theirs yet? :)
I've paced down, got a bit more than a third complete, but have hit too many walls of format problems and unresearchable questions that I had to slow down or I'd go insane. :P

no news on other puzzles... Ill release the passcodes for those parts in a week and delete the sections on the 16th if we dont get them...
we have enough puzzles as it is so it wont hurt the event...
+1 on being stuck... several Im just stuck on one question...

Have you just ask them? For atleast two of them I find it hard to believe they would just decide not doing it. Maybe they have forgotten, couldn't find the time or a giveaway or are waiting for something else. And while there are certainly enough puzzles maybe someone else could fill the gap. Just something easy like an ITH with all answers from the same Wiki source.
Everyone who studied nature sciences should have a bit of knowledge of thermodynamics and creating a puzzle with some simple determine the probability questions for the missing math one should also be easy. Logic Philoshophy might be harder and the Humor and Science is open to subjectivity anyway. You could dismiss that one or just loot xkcd.com for ideas.

I can do some thermodynamics, as I am pretty good at physics back in high school. About philosophy, I only know Karl Marx, as it is the only thing the government tries to stuff in our heads :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Yea, I figured you hadn't a chance to torture us so far. I wonder how far the teachings of thermodynamics in chemistry and phsics drift apart.

Yes, please ask those creators. I want more puzzles :(

Bump for completed mrt39's Sociology- Law puzzle! NICE JOB!
I enjoyed it a lot! Not too easy and not too hard... educational, fun, just right!!
Comment has been collapsed.
Second this one. And the non-GA prize gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling that the world is not that bad of a place after all.
Comment has been collapsed.
Non GA prize?? You mean the free legal advice that normally would cost an arm and a leg??
Amazing that as a result of solving the puzzle mrt39 offered such an offer!
Comment has been collapsed.
Aye, the one. Call it sentimentality, but I've grown really attached to my arms and legs over the last years.

Bump for solving Sociology- Ethics Lalwende's puzzle!
Nice presentation... concise and refreshing! Great job!

Can i make a question about earth and space puzzle? The three images, i dont understand what are you asking.
Comment has been collapsed.
You'll understand that right after solving geoscience and astronomy parts :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I have solved this parts.but i dont understand what are asking with these images.
Comment has been collapsed.
Try opening both images in new tab and compare them. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
They're just similar... Open both images: one from ith and one from ga in tabs of same size and start switching between them. You'll find the difference ;)

Bump. Noone shall say he didn't see the thread. Solve some puzzles SGers. Fantastic odds and new knowledge awaits you.

You and faragona are the two top finishers!! CONGRATS!
Comment has been collapsed.
What is a top finisher? O.o There are atleast three people who have solved everything that is created at the moment. Although Faragona has solved two puzzles more than me and Hafilip84 one more >.<

There is a bonus puzzle from MSKOTOR. Last time I checked you haven't been on the list. It isn't needed for the event but linked in his third ITH. You can find it there.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was referring to the two top ones that have finished everything up to this point...
I'm waiting to hear back from the last 4 puzzles...
Comment has been collapsed.
This looks like a great event. I feel bad that I won't be able to participate since I will be studying for school exams and medical board exams for the next 2-3 months. I am quite impressed by all of the hard work you and the other puzzle makers put in though.

Didn't understand what do I have to do with the "image questions" of the passcodes ITH .-.
Comment has been collapsed.
Have you solved a complete subcategory already like "Astronomy" or "Psychology"? There are two giveaways inside and they contain an image. You may compare these to the ones in the passcodes ITH. Maybe it will give you an idea.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh ok, so for example, in the "formal science" section two of the five ITH will bring me to a passcode an the other three will give me a clue on what to do with the images?
Comment has been collapsed.
Look in this post. you have the answer in the same page
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, a bit different. Actually the "Formal Science" is a bad example but let's go with it. Formal Science has two subcategories "Math" and "Logic". In each of the three maths section you get a password you can enter in the "Math" ITH. If you complete all three of them you can solve the "Math" ITH which gives you a passcode for the "Formal Science" ITH and access to two giveaways where you will find a clue for the images.
That is harder to explain than I thought -_-

Adelion do you know what is the format for the last question of Physics- Particle Physics. I having problems with sgtools (bad gateway) and i cant asking in the last ga before that ith.I know the answer but the format is complicated, i tried a lot of things but its not working
Comment has been collapsed.
If I remeber right he said that atleast twelve different formattings are accepted. Did you maybe tex at one point? This will give you an idea on how to format correctly. Also there is at least one formatting which is a lot easier. If you would like you can use an old giveaway of mine and I can confirm for you if it is really a formatting problem of your answer.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is anyone having problems with sgtools? 502 Bad Gateway :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, I have that too. Maybe a server malfunction. Someone should notify knsys.

Bump for solving mandrill's Science History!
Fun, enjoyable, inspiring and googleable and thus solveable.... Thanks mandrill!
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah if only all puzzles were as solvable. Some are maddening crazy even with google skills. I'm now at yours btw.
Comment has been collapsed.
That should be really easy... the only one that might be difficult is the 2nd one. And that is searchable too...
Comment has been collapsed.
BTW nothing is mid arm which is our elbow... so don't even go there... the only one mid leg is patella which is the kneecap...
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha yeah I've already solved those but thanks anyway. :P I figured and I thought how strange, so medium arm/legs are most likely traps. xD I was not referring to your puzzle as hard of course since you always give good enough hints. There are other crazy questions in other puzzles though. Mostly due to bad wording, or crazy expectances.
PS: You did have a typo or two, though they do not affect answers in any way.

25 Platinum and 23 Gold Winners!!!
Click HERE to see the event champions!
This event is ended. If you want to provide solutions to your puzzle then post them in main thread.
Note to puzzle designers: Our goal is to get everyone through the event and try to avoid frustration. We want to see a lot of platinum and GOLD winners. Thus, have fun dropping clever hints in your GA thread and helping users that are stuck. We are all in a learning process-- we want our puzzles to be FUN, EDUCATIONAL, ENJOYABLE and promote COMRADESHIP.
com·rade·ship
ˈkämˌradˌSHip,ˈkämrədˌSHip
noun
the company and friendship of others with common aims.
"his greatest joy came from comradeship with others in the team"
Note: To solve the passcode puzzles use a copy of THIS PERIODIC TABLE. When it says Number focus on atomic numbers of elements. When it says Weight focus on atomic weight which is usually three digits after the decimal. If it says two elements added together to get a new element then add the two elements atomic numbers and get a new number--then find what is the element that has the added result. You will also need to goggle for common and scientific names of plants and animals. The first part of the passcode hint shows the format and special characters to use. (no passcodes have spaces)
Note: If you can't access the opening GA to the puzzle as you are BL then go to the ITH directly-- you will still get rewards for some GAs under each puzzle solved. (More explanation HERE if you can't see GA with puzzle because of BL.)
GO FOR THE GOLD!! (All puzzles in full event solved)
GO FOR THE PLATINUM!! (excludes Special Interest category)
