Stuck on crosswords 26 and 28. Can't find the good terms for the number 28 and still clueless about the logic behind 26 order. I'm still on it and I still believe I can broke this barrier language :D
Comment has been collapsed.
yep done for the 26 just realized with the topic how to crack it :D
Working on 28 now!

to be honest the hints are really helpful sometimes. I'm not sure I'll be so fast without them for some of those puzzles.

5 hours since last post? Bump time!
Come get your games folks! I mean, I almost feel bad about my chances stats right now!
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow those stats look really good!! 3/4 of the GAs end June 6th and about 1/4 of the GAs end on June 7th so it is obvious all those predicted wins must be from the puzzle event!
Last event there were 12 or more wins per person... cool, huh?
Comment has been collapsed.
12 wins per person? I haven't even joined that many giveaways O.o Well, let's have a bump.

I know I'm a bit behind, which is why I just wanna confirm. For puzzle 10, question 5, am I meant to be seeing a stack of silver coins? If so, then I don't get it. I mean, my ANSWER is correct (thanks for the hints in the question) but it makes ZERO sense to me...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well this special silver coin has the value of 25 cents and therefore (if I guess correctly) is called a quarter (like a quarter of a dollar). And now consider your answer and it will make sense.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope still doesn't. guess its a regional thing :)
Matters little, as I did get the answer :p
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I'm European so I'm not entirely sure it is a Quarter. But it would make the most sense. If you open the source for puzzle 10 and search for the solution you have to question 5 it should fall together. The picture is only meant as hint to the answer.

Added you on steam, have some queries regarding contribution :)

Time for a bump :)
all basic puzzles solved, about half of the hidden discovered and working hard on the other half ;) - now it's time to start looking for hints
Comment has been collapsed.
Got through pinnacle crossword and wordsearch, finally got to another hidden ITH. Read all previous hints and still clueless, thought it was a timeline but dont get the negative bit. If I do work out the significance where do I get letters from? Do I use the previous ones? Vague thoughts of some sort of timeline or extinction line but that doesn't seem likely.

Half these pictures either dont make sense, or even when they do apparently I cant put the solar system in order to make it work.

I'm lost on ITH 10 & 13 :(
Like I know ITH is about the calendar/weeks/stuff but I'm not sure what to do with that information :/
13 is also very confusing because I can't apply the strategy I used to crack 11 & 12 since it's different and I can't find anything about it.
Any hint/help?
EDIT: Managed to crack 13 by myself!! :D Still stuck on 10 though :|
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm a bit irritated about your struggle with 10 if you know what it is about. Maybe this will help: How many weeks has a year? How many letters has the alphabet? Multiplied with two for case sensitivity?
Comment has been collapsed.
Finished the final puzzle a little while ago. Thanks for this great puzzle! Probably spent around 20 hours in total and made a massive document containing all the answers and giveaways. My life is complete, what do I do now?

I'm stuck at the crossword of #12. I assume it's number of wins, but there's too many ties and I even bruteforced through the combinations. Also tried chronological order of first wins and also tournaments hosted, bot to no avail :(

I have completed every puzzle EXCEPT 16, 28, 29(haven't started because of #16), and obv the Pinnacle.
There are two crosswords I'm completely stuck on:
16- I've figured out that VT represents the surname of the family, and I have assigned the names to each of the colored letters, BUT I just cannot get the order right... I've tried to go by the picture but there's still some mistake, need advice (or perhaps the proper source?) Dx
28- I have absolutely NO idea what the order refers to, I don't have a single clue haha... There were hints somewhere else in the discussion, I've already sought them out but I'm still stumped :/
Comment has been collapsed.
For #16 it may be pretty simple because there are two VT's; the historical one and from a movie about it. For strange reasons they are named differently. So maybe you checked the wrong one.
For #28 I'm irritated. You really looked at all the hints presented? There are a lot for that specific puzzle. All Top5 puzzle follow the same scheme. The blabla's of something something. The blabla's is always the same. The something something in this case is what is described by the pictures. What is the guy with the blue trousers doing? What is the binocular guy searching?
Comment has been collapsed.
16 order is same as pictured
28 google 8 stages winning job search
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, I solved 16 and then 29 afterwards, and now 28 is the only one keeping me from the Pinnacle -_-
Would you be willing to check to see what I have wrong? (I suspect it may be color-related, I'm colorblind and every crossword has been hell for me haha)

Thanks to all the additional GA contributors, EvilBlackSheep, lmxn, jesuswarjesus, keohookalani, hazelmeade, Morshock, faragona, and hafilip84. And an extra huge thanks to jeffhowe for putting all of this together. Don't know where you've got the strength.
Now I can rest!

I had to, parents arrive to town sometime during the morning and will be here for the remaining of the event. Had to get it done before then. Had a bit of a headache at the end. ^^ Too much info-cramming.

Bump for need three more conquerors... 90 more comments and a day and a half to do it!!
Can we do it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, the comments should be possible. If necessary we will just spam the hell out the thread -_- For the conquerors ..... I don't know. I think there is at the moment only one vocal solver around. So it depends on the silent conqueros if you will break your january puzzle record.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think we will do it as Row3 passcodes with the 9 puzzles has 61 conquerors and all the others have much more.,.

Wonderful success for this event! Thank you contributors of GAs, all the hint-help from early conquerors, the hype, comments, and FUN! Many people had massive wins! Some over 20 games won!!

Here is a read-only excel document with all the answers...
WOW what an amazing experience! I had so much fun and appreciate all your kind words. It will take me at least a month to design a new event but in the meantime try Nordhbanes Puzzle Agency Puzzles, Mikalyes Dungeon of Puzzles event, or one of onks adventures -recent onk adventure is closed but keep your eye out for more-- they are amazing!
Next pyramid event will include countries, continents, and cultures... and plenty puzzles of a variety for everyone.

Time to get your puzzle on!
There are several stages to solve along the way. Here is a brief explanation of the stages.
STAGE 1: Solve the easy and fun ITH puzzles below numbered 1-25 in any order. You will get a reward GA for each solved!!
STAGE 2: Then take your answers from the ITH and fit them into a crossword puzzle!
STAGE 3: Solving the crossword will give you 8 letters as a result, solve with given clues to deduce the correct order of those 8 letters.
STAGE 4: Find the HIDDEN ITH with the result from STAGE 3! You will get a reward GA for each of the 30 hidden ITHs discovered!!
STAGE 5: Decipher using the Key given the 3 hidden GAs... (5 characters A-Z, a-z, 1-9, 0 IN THAT ORDER) 15 GA rewards

Solving Word Equations-- you will need to refer to the final bank of 20 pictures below to help solve.
Example solution for Puzzle 01- AIR's word equation: (see first attached image below)
(numbers by each picture are how many letters are in the word you must figure out)
TOAST + MOON - TOMATO = ?
TOASTMOON - TOMATO
(TOA)S(TMO)ON (the letters in bold are the letters to be subtracted from TOASTMOON)
This leaves the letters S, O, and N. Rearrange the resulting letters to make a word. Thus, the answer for Puzzle 1's Word Equation Passcode is "SON". Check over the second image below and check off the matching picture that looks like "SON".
Use the FREE GA area in middle of event to ask EvilBlackSheep for help on word equations puzzles.
