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

[DiMono]

Well I got it, but like a couple others I'm not sure how the final few clues link to the answer. I mean, the relationship between the people in the picture and the solution is fairly obvious, but I'm clearly missing a logical step or two.

Regardless, I have greatly enjoyed this past week of puzzles, and I definitely look forward to the next one should it occur. Thank you to everyone at the Escapist who helped put this together, I can only imagine how much work went into it and you are all to be commended for your efforts. I shall send you a bill for my time lost away from sleep forthwith.

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?

You have it bad? We had to figure out what to 13 digits meant.
Also you probably have the wrong game. The site will accept the most basic answer.

 

[Chrmike]

Ah, Hashime, all of us late-nighters have aged into old men who yell at the youth for how tough we had it, right?

 

[Chronologist]

Actually, I figured out what the 13 digits meant in about 20, maybe 30 seconds at most. I just didn't know what to do with them.

Some of these logical leaps seem more like leaps of faith to me.


Or maybe I'm just stupid. Not an encouraging thought at 2:20 in the morning.

I too have experienced this logic gap, unless you're just supposed to jump directly from these scientists to the game.

 

[DiMono]

Oh hey, I'm going to go ahead and store locally on my machine what the questions were, and the paths to the answers. I won't distribute them, obviously, but I think it's worth doing.

Actually, I think I've figured out what the logic behind the picture is, just based on where we went in the thread.

Spoiler

I immediately recognized the pattern, which led directly to the identification of the people in the picture, which led to the answer. Whether the other bits of information were clues or red herrings I have yet to figure out.

WHAT WEBSITE IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT?

Spoiler

Someone said to put TOYIJM between www and com but there is no such website! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG GODDAMMIT!

 

[tautologico]

I think I'll have to give up for now. I found all the steps on my own, but now I'm not getting it. It's too late here and I'm quite tired.

You're looking at the wrong trend. Look at just the capital in that thread.

I've decided to throw out one more hint before I go to bed. And to make it lots of fun, it's a limerick!

Spoiler

There once was a great big museum that had so many pictures people had to go see 'em, a girl and her mum walked while together they talked and stopped at the exhibit to see 'em.

The girl said to her mother, hey mom who's that cool brother, the woman turned to her girl and said with a twirl, my dear you're such a good hunter.

You see he was a great scientist, as you can see he sits amongst the finest, but because of some quirks and a bunch of loud jerks, people don't know his impact was highest.

Good luck to everyone and I hope you find this at least entertaining.

Mod Note - I approve of this method of clue giving

Awesome, at first I didn't get this but then it hit me like a ton of bricks.

This was fun, I hope they do this again in the future. Now it's time to get back to all the real life things I've been neglecting.

 

[fallouthirteen]

Well, I've been looking at those pictures, read the clues, researched the people in the pictures, tried multiple things on the answer pane, and even with what sound like very explicit clues to the answer I just can't get this. I'm either thinking it's outside my knowledge base (unlikely) or my brain simply doesn't work using this link of logic, sort of like how it's impossible for me to get the message within message puzzles, yet day 3-3 and 4-2 were unbelievably simple and the only time it took to get them was the actual translating work.

What I am most confused by is the "Answer goes here" url...

 

[Captain-Giggles]

I got it, and the connection is kind of there, but well done to all who've gotten it so far and to the rest keep at it!

DAY 5.

Cmon >.>

 

[Chronologist]

Got all but 4.1 now... turns out that I was being to complex in my answer, needed the lowest common denominator.

Still, since I inputted the, you know, on the page for 4.1 and nothing blue appeared in textual form, I'm stuck forever. Yay me... (tones of sarcasm).

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Awwwww...it doesn't tell me I'm clever this time.

Oh god that was it. I can't believe it. One of my favorite games, no less. Brain addled by too much sleepyness. Thank you, and good night.

 

[Chronologist]

Captain-Giggles, that's kinda obvious, don't you think?

Edit: I'm still bothered by the "Answer goes here" url, if anyone would care to explain that in a pm that would be awesome.
