Just won't work. I'm using a laptop, maybe that's a problem? And no matter how much I google, it is the same one. It is for the first game right?
I dunno, try it on a different computer. It is for the original, I believe, but it should work on subsequent games. You know what's supposed to happen, right?

Not to really ruin all the determination for others who are working so hard to figure out #4, but here is the biggest hint yet! (Got it from a really good friend, so i'll tell it my way)
Day 2 #4 If you figured out that it's digits showing 1.523a.u it actually means 1.523000 which is distance. It's so massive, it reaches out from Earth to Mars. Now, knowing Greek Mythology, what does Mars represent? That shall be your answer, and this hint is a big give away

Sorry if I offended anyone by posting this, but we are all a team and I feel people deserve to not overstress about this Quiz, that we can overcome it! I personally thank ajluczak and Glamorgan for helping me pass Days 2 with useful Hints!
Mars is Roman you fool.

It took me a long while, but I finally was able to figure out how to solve question one, day four.

That was the last one, and once I put in the answer I will get my badge and I will rest easy. By the time Monday comes round, I wish onto all of you a peaceful rest, because after solving these puzzles, we have earned it!

OK. Wow. I desperately need a hint.
I'm looking at a comment thread with three responses by people with grammar issues. But... where to from there?

No comments.
was that a clue? :p
yes, but not a very good one :/
is it something to do with the (you know what) having no comments?

if so I am guessing the next clue is somehow connected to that...
the article actually has 3 comments.

like i said, i gave a pretty crappy clue. sorry!

Goodness me, this last one is hard.

Mathematicians, fictional and real. It's a fibonacci spiral, I get that, but... I tried entering in the numbers. I thought the six steps might be the number of digits you need, but nope.

Okay, I have almost all of this figured out (Actually, I already know the name of the last game thanks to Havass' bigass spoiler... Dude that's not a hint it's the f***ing answer) but I'm a bit stumped over the last step.

I'm up to the final sequence, and I get the table I'm supposed to be comparing the numbers to, but what do I do from here?

Is it possible to solve this without using basic chemistry?

Did you start from 0 or 1? Protip: start from 0.

What do you mean `basic chemistry'? If you have the right table, then you should notice some numbers on the table.

I have worked out everything but can still not get 4-2. I have been looking through the fourm for 3 hours and still no luck >.<

I have done the plotting and have no idea what the game is I know its something about the location on the map

Yeah, location. Now try to think about the game somewhat related to the location. That's really all there is to it.

Muahahahaha. Took 3 university professors to do it but... here is a hint to get from the 5 mysterious numbers on the black background to the final answer:


Come on come on and meet the elements!
I, like most people, had the answer by leaping (and by "leaping" I mean "olympic-style-pole-jumping") from the mathematicians but was truly frustrated by not being able to figure the url thingy. And then I did. And then this post gave me peace, for now I know what I was supposed to do :p Great ending!!!!

OK - I'd be able to move further in Day 5 if I had any idea who the person in picture 6 from the top is. Any hints? or I'll take a flat out tell if you think it's not giving too much away, since I just know nothing about celebrities.

...he did the Quake soundtrack. It's the name of his band that contains the clue though.

Thanks for the wonderful time puzzling... I love this stuff!

Whoah. Ok, I came a bit late to the party, but DAMN this was fun :)

Just spent the last seven hours and almost a full notepad doing these, but it was worth it!

Cheers Escapist!

Just hope I was in time to get the badge..... *quivery lip*

EDIT: WOO!
