Not bad, today's puzzle was a cross between N-Queens and Sudoku. Or just symbolic Sudoku. Which is itself a derivative of N-Queens...:D. ----------------------------------- rizzix Wed Apr 19, 2006 9:07 pm ----------------------------------- Anyone knows what that symbol is called? ----------------------------------- Delos Thu Apr 20, 2006 7:29 am ----------------------------------- Blade. ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Apr 20, 2006 7:59 am ----------------------------------- Requires flash 8... also 'µ' sounds nothing like 'u'. ----------------------------------- Delos Thu Apr 20, 2006 9:21 pm ----------------------------------- Isn't that just rizzix' little spice to the title? I don't recall the title being that extravagent or linguistically impaired. (They did forget to put the bar in the capital A though, looks like an upside-down V now...) ----------------------------------- rizzix Fri Apr 21, 2006 11:32 am ----------------------------------- puzzle2.. what's that symbol :( ----------------------------------- cool dude Fri Apr 21, 2006 4:42 pm ----------------------------------- puzzle 2 symbol is greek cross! does anyone know the answer to puzzle 6 - "Observation"? ----------------------------------- Mazer Fri Apr 21, 2006 5:42 pm ----------------------------------- puzzle 2 symbol is greek cross! Wha... can somebody give me a screenshot? ----------------------------------- cool dude Fri Apr 21, 2006 6:21 pm ----------------------------------- after u competed the puzzle u have to say wat the symbol is. click on the line and type greek cross i cannot attach anything for some odd reason? EDIT oh thats because u can't attach things in off topic! ----------------------------------- md Fri Apr 21, 2006 8:57 pm ----------------------------------- I can't even get to the site; it just redirects me to google... ----------------------------------- cool dude Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:59 pm ----------------------------------- I can't even get to the site; it just redirects me to google... at first thats wat kept happening to me but i figured out that once your at google sign in with your gmail acount and u will see the davinchi challenge. it redirects to google because the account is on rizzix and u can't play on his account! ----------------------------------- rizzix Sat Apr 22, 2006 12:42 am ----------------------------------- not entirely true... you basically _need_ to sign into gmail (specifically your personalised google page).. It is required to participate.. (it really does not have anything to do with my account ) ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Apr 22, 2006 8:40 am ----------------------------------- There IS NO flashplayer 8 for Linux! Edited thread title for terrible misuse of Greek characters. ----------------------------------- rizzix Sat Apr 22, 2006 1:05 pm ----------------------------------- LOL "characters" ----------------------------------- cool dude Sat Apr 22, 2006 2:32 pm ----------------------------------- i'm stuck on the observation puzzle did anyone figure that one out yet? ----------------------------------- rizzix Sat Apr 22, 2006 6:15 pm ----------------------------------- is it the first one? then yea... it's umm sudoku-ish.. and there are different sets.. so what you might have to solve may not be the same thing as what i had to.. anyway a screenshot would be helpful.. ----------------------------------- cool dude Sun Apr 23, 2006 8:52 pm ----------------------------------- no man! u know how they give u a list of puzzles? i solved all but the one that is called "Observation" it actually says that on the puzzle. i believe it was like the third one. the suddokish one was i think second and i solved it in 2 minutes lol. P.S. i can't get a screenshot because i can't attach things in offtopic forum. ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Apr 23, 2006 9:11 pm ----------------------------------- i have no idea what you're talking about.. and the sudoku one was first for me. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sun Apr 23, 2006 9:36 pm ----------------------------------- P.S. i can't get a screenshot because i can't attach things in offtopic forum. You don't even need to upload images to compsci.ca... Ever heard of imageshack.us? tinypic? the tens-of-thousands of other image hosting websites? ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun Apr 23, 2006 9:53 pm ----------------------------------- This thing was so not worth booting into windows for. "Greek cross"? Bah! I have two things to say: 1) Who was expecting Tom Hanks to be Langley? It's just weird to me... probably just the hair. 2) I'm glad Sophie's good lookin'! :wink: PS: Observations was easy 1) This is compsci.ca! That's the fleur-de-lis! 2) It's the virtruvian man! Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom, mushroom! (If you don't know what I'm talking about, that's a little sad) 3) 26 possible positions for a single dial, how many dials? 26^ ----------------------------------- cool dude Mon Apr 24, 2006 10:16 am ----------------------------------- i have no idea what you're talking about.. and the sudoku one was first for me. r u joking!!! go to the contests and look at all the contests they have. yes your right the first one is sudoku! if u look at the last one u will see the word "observation" click on that and u will see the challenge! even mazer sees it!!! P.S. thanks mazer @gandalf: how do attach or show the screenshot??? ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Apr 24, 2006 2:48 pm ----------------------------------- o i c ----------------------------------- chrispminis Mon Apr 24, 2006 11:28 pm ----------------------------------- 2) I'm glad Sophie's good lookin'! Wink I've never read the book, so don't really know much. Plan to read the book soon, since movies coming out soon, and it'd be a shame to see it not having read the book. Aaaaanyways, that Sophie I believe is a certain Audrey Tautou (sp?). She's a french actress, and shes alright although it'll be strange since she put on a rather convincing performance of complete insanity and obsession as a eropsychotic (is that it?) neighbour in "A la folie ou pas de tout" which is the french equivalent to "She loves me, she loves me not". Anyways, thats just a little background since I *thought* i recognized her in the trailer. I could be terribly wrong and under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs but... There ya go! ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Apr 25, 2006 9:37 am ----------------------------------- Yeah, yeah, whatever. Does she have a sexy accent? :wink: ----------------------------------- chrispminis Tue Apr 25, 2006 5:59 pm ----------------------------------- Well I've only seen her in a french movie so can't say exactly. Although I'm told she speaks excellent English, which presumably indicates, if at all, only a slight accent. ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Apr 25, 2006 6:57 pm ----------------------------------- :cry: ----------------------------------- cool dude Tue Apr 25, 2006 7:54 pm ----------------------------------- did anyone get the geography puzzle? question: what city is the three dimensional structure of the last supper located? ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Apr 25, 2006 8:04 pm ----------------------------------- Man, are you going to read the book ever? ----------------------------------- cool dude Wed Apr 26, 2006 1:27 pm ----------------------------------- Man, are you going to read the book ever? r u talking to me? :? i've read the book around 2 years ago so i don't really remember where the three dimensional structure of the last supper is located. ----------------------------------- Blade Thu Apr 27, 2006 11:03 pm ----------------------------------- if you look at the map, its new york... if you do a little bit of searching on google, the answer is there.
