The hidden ITHs for 08-Potato, am assuming the 2 letters are short for states? I can google an alphabetical list but how can I know which one belongs to which? (eg, AL can belong to two states)...or am I way off track? Nevermind, think I missed the obvious again

I conquered the Master Of Champions title!!!
Thank you so much for all the effort put into this puzzle, jeff and everyone involved. Had a great time solving it. Like others have mentioned, I only felt it a bit repetitive and think there could have been more variety, but I really enjoyed the crosswords and the picture equations.

Many of them ... Usually the 3 ga codes cracked were multiple copies of 4, 5 or 6 copies... Revil only counted it as one ga

So, now that the top 10 are in, can we close the puzzle?

Come come now... Would you be saying that if you hadn't finished yet?

of course not. but then I wouldn't be one of the privileged ones. Someone whose parents/grandparents/greatgrandparents got in and decided not to let anyone else in.
ok, cheap political shots are in. please realize I was only joking

I found 24 unused words in crosswords, but there is said I need 23...There is typo or I need to find word that I actualy used?
Comment has been collapsed.
Then you either overlooked one or you didn't notice the change for puzzle 21. Nonetheless, the puzzle is still solvable even if you have one extra word in your luggage. It should remain at the end.
Comment has been collapsed.
But the change removed a word from puzzle #21 O.o It can't be the reason for your extra. Anyway just do the puzzle with 24 words.

5/11/2016 SOLVERS OF Puzzle 21 EGGS will need to revisit and resolve Q7 and pick up another word to use at PINNACLE!
"pick up another word" - how that is removing a word? :)
Anyway, if you guys say it's still solveable, I'm going to do that :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I had 24 as well - two of which were wrong (I missed another word that was supposed to be there).
Just do the puzzle anyway, and keep in mind you'll have a word left over at the end.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yea sorry about the extra extra word... If there is one... We will carry it over and use in next event.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, there is an extra word ;)
Anyway, I did wordsearch, I solved crossword, I found 8 letters and completly stuck on order of them... I don't even know what I am looking for... And hint in ith wasn't very helpful ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
So you got the final picture of the numberline? Just look up for the hints given on this and the previous page. They may be helpful.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think I can't see any numberline... I'm talking about question 15 from word search & crossword puzzle...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, you could still guess the solution this time. But look at the colored pictures given. At least one or two should appear awfully familiar to you. And then look at the ordering hint given in the lower right corner. But first identify the colored ones. You know at least one of them. No, i say you HAVE TO know at least one of them.
I'm using at least pretty often it seems ...

I can recognize what's on cyan picture... But it's unreadable because of image quality... And I don't think it really matters...
I think I know the comic with green/lime picture, but I don't recognize character...
I'm not sure, but I probably saw character from left part of ordering clue, but I have no idea where and when...
Everything else is absolutely unknown for me (or at least I have completly forgotten about it)
Comment has been collapsed.
Argh, I don't know how much of a hint I'm allowed to give. The image quality and the actual text is not that important. I'm leaning out of the window (tell me if I shall delete it Jeff) and give you this: Check out the "Announcements" Category for inspiration.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oops... I should be ashamed I didn't know the orange one... Thank you for help... I still don't know what's it is about, but I'll try to take some time to think and search :)
Maybe I'll ask for help again if I back with nothing...
Comment has been collapsed.
Once again thank you for the help :) It would be absolutely ansolveable for me without it :)
Now, numberline...
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for this heap of puzzles, it is really well done.
Now solving anything is a low probability on my part (mostly cause I just woke up and don't have many braincells yet ;) ) I'll now go back to my audiobooks of the lord of the rings series.

New puzzle event in design stage... Goal August 1st to go live!
Comment has been collapsed.
can anyone help me with the grain and vegetable puzzles? what am i supposed to do there? how to get answers
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, they are a bit different then the rest. For the vegetable puzzle you need to rearrange the given letters so that the result is a vegetable mentioned in the wikipedia source. For picture one you for example you see Popeye. What is his favorite food? Can you find a vegetable belonging to that familiy of food which is written with the given letters?
Grain may be a bit more difficult. You need to recognize the images and "add" them to get the solution word. Often it is phonetic only (meaning it just sounds like the same word but is written differently).
For both puzzles you should if you haven't done so far press F5 to reload them. After 30 minutes hints will appear giving you the first letter of the searched word.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh well
those picture equation thingies are really hard
sometimes i have like eight possible words, but they just don't work with the rest :(
anways, remembered that i have not bumped this thread for a while
so... bump :3

Comment has been collapsed.
The final pinaccle puzzle has gotten the better of me. It appears as if there's an obvious meaning behind the number line, and an obvious order, and the hints seem to suggest this is the right direction, but it's not working out for whatever reason.
Also noticing some details in the selection of the images apart from their color which could be a clue, but it hasn't lead me anywhere yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
Have you read page 7 & 8 of the thread here? There is some information spread.
Comment has been collapsed.
What the pictures are don't matter but where they are on numberline is important and one other thing about each pic is important.
you need the result from the crossword and a way to make a connection to each object...

Thanks for putting this all up Jeff. I don't know how Grey or Mauve relate to our friend Roy, and if that sets any kind of tone for the rest...
Neat as this all is, the level of complexity becomes daunting. I will not be pushing through all this. Good luck to the others though.

Stuck on 9- grain. Finished crossword, understand how to order the letters, but cannot follow your link to a list that makes sense to me. The Wiki link mentions a 2016 listing, but looks like I need a 2014 list. Googling usnwr 2014 gives me blurb and a link, but it doesnt work (checked my list twice) when I enter the letters so no idea whether have messed up crossword to end up with wrong letter or have wrong order
Comment has been collapsed.
The 2104 list is definetely the one you need. And as the crrossword has been solved before it should be okay as well unless there have been some changes somewhere. Have you checked if you misstyped in the crossword somewhere? If not I can confirm for you if you have right placement and letters.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for getting back to me. Unused word starts with J, all others fit into crossword. Can only assume I have the list wrong. It would be good to confirm where I messed up. Am using http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities for list
Comment has been collapsed.
For future reference it might be better if you use an old giveaway of mine. Could you post in one of those the ITH code you received. I can tell you how far off it is then since that is the information I saved.
EDIT: Unused word looks fine although it doesn't say much.
EDIT 2: The list you linked seems to be from 2016.
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, so if I have a 2016 list then that is my problem, will try to find another one which is for 2014.
Comment has been collapsed.
got it, thanks, was using a link from first search page which I guess must be updated (hence the 2016 info). Reread original search page which only gave me the first 6, then just reversed my 7 and 8. Thanks again.

yeah, we got there. Fraggy had the same issue I had. I was able to work it out, but I don't have a language barrier to deal with. Still, kept my hints vague enough that Fraggy had to do some real sleuthing.

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.
Welcome to the New Pyramid Game?? - THEME: The Food Pyramid!
Note: ALL GAs in complete game are Level1!
CLICK HERE to get a taste of the tasty GAs inside!
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
STAGE 6: Solve the WORD equation passcode puzzle and save to use in accessing Puzzles 26-30 at the top! (note down numerical passcode also)
STAGE 7: Each of the TOP 5 Puzzles gives access to an ACHIEVEMENT train! Thus potential to be rewarded 5 GA trains!
STAGE 8: Solve Puzzles 26-30 passcode puzzles and put into the TOP Pinnacle to CONQUER the game and gain access to a 1st List of AAA games!
STAGE 9: If you choose to accept the ULTIMATE challenge then solve the additional PINNACLE puzzle for access to the Master of Champions AAA Games List!!
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.
