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.

While I imagine this to be a problem it should not happen if you use all of the available hints in this case. There is another piece of information on the can. If you incorporate that in the search query, does it still not yield the correct result?

Comment has been collapsed.

Nope, even if I add that to the query, nothing related to the video comes up in my search.

Edit: Actually tried it now and the first result is a page that contains the video. Don't know why it didn't show up before.

I thought that one was pretty straight forward. You found out the family shown on the picture? Then you should also find out what the letters are for.

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

still no clues =(
I thought letters should be related to their names, as it already contains their family name, but I can find only 2 matches out of 8. Their names not even contain such letters. Names of their songs/albums also doesn't work
maybe i miss something important..

Still stuck on 01-Air. Got to the hidden ITH.. with 3 questions. Tried this 4 days ago and could have sworn I got the codes correct but it looks like they are wrong (if the first one does not lead to Age Of Steel:Recharge then I have blundered into some of your other GA's, lol. Would explain why the 3 words made no sense to me. So it seems I cannot follow stage 5 instructions. A =1, a= 27. Think the numbers are messing me up. Interpreted 30 to be d, would that be right?

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes, that would be right. And the chance of finding a random giveaway this way are pretty slim. But you can easily check: Is the giveaway from JeffHowe and is there a passcode in it?

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

yes, game is from JeffHowe, and by passcode do you mean a word? Yes there is one. My confusion is because I cannot input my interpretation of the codes leading to these giveaways into the ITH answer box. Keep getting wrong answer. I can use the code to go straight to the giveaway page but cannot input the code correctly on the ITH page...

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

The reason for that may be that the five character code is not the solution to the ITH question. Just for fun: Copy the word in the giveaway (normally three to four words without a gap) and paste it into the ITH. And then look what happens.

Have tried abcde format and a, b, c, d, e format, both give a wrong answer, but when I use abcde as the giveaway code it works :(
If this does not matter and I can skip inputting the codes into the ITH page then I guess that is good, just have no idea if I am missing another clue

You still have a lot of time. Just try it at a later point and make a break or some other puzzles. Other than that: Did you look at the picture in the linked comment? It is showing pretty much the solution.

Thank you, cannot view the picture, I just get a continual load which then times out. Tried going counterclockwise (per hint given to someone earlier), which worked but no idea why it should. Must have missed the clue for that, was trying clockwise for ascending order, thanks so much. Also got hung up on 3 of the pictures, got the ones for 3, 7 and 1 confused.

Counterclockwise because it is so in geometry. If comes from the transformation of the angles from degrees to radiant and then using them with the Euler's Number.
