Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

Yeah, I wrote that limerick. Took me about 20 min. But I did it.

 

[Hashime]

I feel bad now. I got the right answer, but have no clue how to get there from spiral picture.

I'm in the same boat. Actually, this was the most useful hint for me all night.

The spiral is related subtly if you do not figure out the connection I'm sure the mods will post why.

Phew, got there at last, kudos to everyone on here and also to the escapist staff! Now I should probably go to bed and catch at least 2 hours sleep - This started at 5:00am over here!

 

[Chrmike]

Thanks Hashime. +3 internets for you for figuring it out first and trying to be helpful.

 

[Ne1butme]

Well, now I feel retarded. Not only do I still not quite get the connection between those pictures and the answer, I had already guessed the answer before but got it wrong due to

putting a dash in for some reason.

Silly me.

Spoiler

threw me off too.

It was quite excellent. I approve!

And now I wish I knew more mathematicians and scientists...

A quick question:

Spoiler

Does it have anything to do with Koji Kondo?

For those who have finished:

Spoiler

I found an article written by... someone in a previous clue. Some of the words are different than the others. Is this relevant?

The bolded article you're referring to doesn't have anything to do with the puzzle as far as I know. The author of the book review wasn't the author of the escapist article that people used to move forward in the puzzle if that's what you're talking about. My suggestion is to look around the escapist for other things related to your book review.

whoops my ramblings might be too spoilery

Spoiler

I thought that at first too, sadly, no, it does not.

 

[Fanboy]

Well, I got it, but I do not see what the answer has to do with those pictures...

edit: Okay, I think I get the connection now. I was too focused on math to see the forest for the trees, but at least it still lead me through the woods.

 

[Chrmike]

Did you see my limerick fanboy?

I disagree. If you think about some of the words, it could lead you to the answer. Then again, you'd have to make a pretty big leap at that point. I doubt anyone will figure it out just from that article.

 

[LackingSanity]

Oh wow, I just got it. As others have mentioned, the answer hits you like a sack full of bricks. Bricks of joy and accomplishment.

Anyways, I need to reward myself with some sleep.

Well I certainly don't feel accomplished. Am I the only one?

 

[Chronologist]

Wow... I am so lost. I'm trying to follow some of this logic but... I just can't, and it's really frustrating. I think I have the title, but for some reason it won't accept it, or any permutations thereof. A little help please?

 

[Thatguykalem]

Oh my god, I got it. I cannot believe the answer was THAT simple XD

Here's a subtle hint;

I sure love space-biking.
