Can't get Q7...guess it's formatting/capitalization of something of the sort.

ItsTooHard is not case sensitive.
There are 2 alternate answers for Q7.

Took me a whole bunch of tries in multiple languages...don't know what all I tried and what finally took. Probably a strange rogue the/el/de/of or something :)

On the second quiz i have it all except Q3 and Q10, the thing is i know exactly what's the name of the buildings, i just can't figure out how to type it.

All answers for steps 1 & 2 are from English Wikipedia (+ alternative names when it's possible).

No, no, no! The last one wasn't too hard, it was challenging and fun! Such a shame...

If Wiki doesn't work, then you are on a false scent. =P

Yeah, I am a chemist and cannot get this first question. I don't know what densities and measurements he's using.

May i know at least how many decimals it has the Q1 of the last puzzle?

That was answered in the comments of the 2nd GA.

Thanks for the puzzles, i've done the first but i've already have that game, but anyway, thanks for sharing. The other puzzle i did it only to know which game was even when i haven't that amount of CV.

For quiz #2, question 11, I cannot get the answer to show as correct. I feel like I know what it is, but I can't get it to work and I've tried alternate names.

As far as I see, you already solved it. =)

Thanks for a great puzzle! Done with step 2 and I surely can already say I am going to hate next one, a lot! =D
Can't seem to find right pricing :/

Well I forced to ask that guy, who made it, remove that topic. Otherwise I'll count in only solvers who passed step 3 before any reply will be posted there. -_-

Do I have everything I need for step Q3? Or is additional research needed?

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

There are enough info, but you need to interpret it rightly (maybe google something) and use your math skills to solve. That math isn't too difficult and Win Calc is enough there.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Ok, for Step 3, your approximate values for every question are impossible to guess. I get values with many decimals here and i really do not know at which step you rounded them.
Giving up now, no fun for that part, 1 + 2 were nice! ^^

Thanks for the riddles anyway! :)

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

You do something wrong if you receive "values with many decimals" here. Btw, right format is described in the topic of 2nd giveaway.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

What i mean is: Should i round the result of each individual step? Or just the final result? Just calculating from the result of Q1 to ounces results in 6 decimals...
Wargh! ^_^

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Hmmm… Q1 haven't many steps in my view. But if you use Wiki in your investigations, use the English one.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

He is right. You round single steps of a calculation and results, and we don't know when you do that or not. In Q1 the exact result has a lot more decimal digits that two. i am pretty sure you didn't use the exact density. if i take the "calculated density" (not measured), round it (it normally has 3 decimal digits), continue my calculation and round the result again (because this one has 4 decimal digits), then i get the right answer for your question. this is a lot of trial&error. don't get me wrong. i am still enjoying this. :) but it would be more fun if it was actually about the math (which is quite simple so far) and finding the right units. right now it's more about guessing if you rounded any intermediate result.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Places with rounding are mentioned in the text, except one which was described in the topic of 2nd giveaway. All other guessing may be caused by your overthinking or wrong input data.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

you are right for Q1 (hint in GA2) and Q2 ("...change...", didn't see that ^^). I don't see any hint about rounding in Q3 (wasn't that hard though ;) ). But it doesn't matter anyway. I solved them all. Thanks for the puzzle. :)

Comment has been collapsed.

Q3 must accept both answers with cents and without them, so it doesn’t need a hint.
