I got them all right but I guessed on 1 and 4. Still have no clue at all how you get that answer from 2:1.

I found 2:2 and 2:3 the easiest by far, and seriously got lucky on 2:4.

Fun just the same:)

Completely stuck on Day 2 1 and 3... anyone got some help I can understand? I've been looking through this forum all day but can't find anything that helps me.

This is what I got for number one but it makes no sense...

For those who have read the clues for #2 but can't figure it out... try what others suggest, but instead of TAZING use TAZIN'
Thank you so much, that one stumped me for a while. :D

Well, the problem relates to Schroesinger's Cat. When you open the box and check on the cat he can be in one of two different states of being...does that help?

Wow, they weren't kidding when they said that the questions would get increasingly harder everyday. I just want to say thanks to everyone posting hints on here because there's no way I could've figured those out without some help.

I only wish that number 3 was easier because you have to go to hell and back to understand how to solve it.

So Puzzle 3 was a massive letdown -_-
I'm still stuck on that one. The Anagram server I used for yesterday's puzzle is overloaded XD

And i'm too dumb to be able to work it out by hand :(

I only got 2-1, but nonetheless, I am damn proud of myself.

and I slapped myself a few times after I figured it out (You will too)

The instant I was told 2-3 was reviewed, I got it.
I've checked the last 10 pages of reviews, and I still can't figure it out :(
I was so happy when I finally Beat It. Still, I gotta yell at the Escapist Staff, The way you make me feel, about this puzzle, is nothing less than like a monster in a really cheesy Thriller film.

The fact is, there are tons of hints for it, so I was actually trying to think of something along the lines of it but couldn't think of anything I'd call a game. I still really wouldn't call it a game, and you might as well throw out the clue, because it'll have you thinking completely wrong.

Gah I don't understand any of them, can someone give me the answer to... any of them? I don't think I'm in the right frame of mind for this.
Would you say you were... puzzled?

Hahahahaha, finally got all of them thanks to a few hints from here. Absolutely loved 2-4, as soon as you realise the binary it's much easier to handle, and a very nice way of formulating a layered puzzle. As a puzzle-enthusiast and cryptography enthusiast myself, I was very pleased with that one. As for 2-3, it was good but I can't help but feel that the game itself is just a little bit too obscure for anyone here to really get first time, so maybe that particular one is a bit too evil? Maybe it would have been better saved for a later puzzle, perhaps... :p

Oh, you are cruel... I approve :D. As I said, number 2-4 was particularly excellent, I look forward to more puzzles of that sort through the rest of the week :D.
