Yay for incoming NomNomz Day!

Err Birthday :3 (I just want mah cake~)


So why wait, let's start preparing celebrations now! ^__^

Time Until Cake/End of Puzzle


I hope you have fun with mah puzzle. Don't worry it's not too hard~ I hope :D
Do you got your Pampers on? If so, start here!

Details (people don't seem to read this part, the puzzle doesn't end after the itstoohard puzzle)

There are 30+ giveaways with a combined entry cost of 316 P.

The final prize is a preorder.

Most of the itstoohard puzzle came from my previous math puzzle but people seemed to enjoy it ^__^.
The rest is new and made manually so don't bother using a program.
Have fun!


Hints

Step 1 - ItsTooHard Puzzle

All unit definitions are available on wikipedia.
The line used is based on an old English definition, not the current military one.
A year is only 365 days long for the purposes of this puzzle.
Pence is the plural form of penny; they're the same thing.

Step 2 - First Set of Giveaways

There are 15 sets of codes.
Order as always is important.
You need all 15 pieces to crack the code.
No bruteforcing required.
Courier is an awesome font.

Step 3 - Second Set of Giveaways

It's my birthday! Or it will be~
Essentially the same hints as Step 2
Pay close attention to what I say or change in this thread

The giveaways after solving the itstoohard are only worth 75 points, so i guess there must be more and i just confirmed that by looking at your profile. Seems like 5-3 people have found those "advanced" hidden giveaways yet. I have no clue where to begin though. Cant find any hints in the Pampers picture either.

Anyway, fun puzzle.

Gah, addition subtraction multiplication and division really hurt my brain! D:

I know how to do that, its just that I apparently don't seem to understand the units, even after a bit of research, because I got nothing.

Well I got the 1st one, the 3rd one and the 4th one. That was easy. Annoying, but easy. Q2 though...seriously, what is a shake and a moment! I couldn't find that on google.

Yeah,i am still trying to figure second part,i got what is seems to be the proper order,with all sets in correct grouping,but i have yet to find what to do with that.Then length of the data i have doesn't match with anything i could think of!

I already said it was manually made... Have fun thinking about code languages all you want.

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

i was not implying about any code languages,simply put i don't know what to do with what I have,even tough i "probably" have the correct hints.But the number of the hints and the codes do not match,and i do not know how to apply those to get correct results x.x

Also 15 set of codes will give out other 15 sets of codes,or will lead to ONE code? T_T

I think I might need a new one. Been wearing the same one for two days now, and it just doesn't give me the support I desire. Starting to question if I even need one at all.

If you have all the pieces you should be able to find something if you look hard enough

Ok, I'll have another look then. It isn't scrambled or anything, right?

And how much brute-forcing is required?

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Well if it's not completely obvious it's somehow scrambed or anything.
No bruteforcing required. Bruteforcing is neither critical thinking nor a puzzle, it's just bruteforcing.

I have some fifteen pieces of...something, and I have no idea what to do with them :/

Do they lead to one thing, or many? And is each piece scrambled?

The current code you're stuck on is simple and the second code which other people are stuck on is significantly more complex.

I started puzzle hunting today, it took me some time finding these ancient units, but it was fun, I am through the 1st part :) But reading the comments about 2nd and 3rd part, with no clue how to get there, reading details over and over again... Please tell me, what am I missing? Is it something with the giveaway pages, or where should I start?

Still zero entries for the 3rd tier giveaways. I am feeling not THAT stupid now staring at those codes for the last hours.
Any hint would be REALLY appreciated. :)
