  1. Nice

    also each number line as one more than the last

    22-15-17-23-16

    33-29-19-22-13-15

    36-17-14-22-13-14-16

    35-21-15-26-14-19-19-3

    13-36-15-14-21-36-33-13

    so i think we need one more number for the ENTRANCE line

    maybe ENTRANCE"S" since there is two

    so add a 16 to the number line?????

    this is not to be entered in the keypad yet want to see if anyone agrees?

    oops i mean 22 not 16

  2. Tthe numbers in blue represent letters.

    35-21-15-26-14-19-19-3 spells the word BATHROOM

    22-15-17-23-16 is STUDY

    36-17-14-22-13-14-16 is NURSERY

    33-29-19-22-13-15 is CLOSET

    13-36-15-14-21-36-33-13 = ENTRANCE

    Always these in tow

    So find those relations

    You favor; you know?

    YOU SEE ANOTHER COUNTRY MOVING THIS THERE IS GOING TO BE PROBLEMS FRIENDS OR NOT

    ANSWER

    NUCLEAR WEAPONS/HOLOCAUST

  4. I'm going to avoid spoilers unless posting a specific answer since I think we are playing this collectively. I think Pops has twice mentioned the word "element" when referring to the pictures. And I think to begin this puzzle, we need to figure out how to map the contents of the picture to the number in the plaque. I'm hoping that this will lead to a 6 word question that we can answer with the keypad.

    Right now I'm trying to see if I can somehow map the pictures to a specific number by using the periodic table (keying off of the use of the word "element"). My first try is to simply try to spell something using only element symbols and then add the atomic numbers together to get a final number. But I haven't found anything yet to indicate it's the right strategy. I've gotten close with the following on 209

    I tried "Chocolate Bonbons" for the picture as the following:

    C - 6

    H - 1

    O - 8

    Co - 27

    La - 57

    Te - 52

    B - 5

    O - 8

    N - 7

    B - 5

    O - 8

    N - 7

    S - 16

    Total - 207

    I'll keep trying other word combinations and see what comes up.

    Carbon © =6 Holmium (Ho) =67 Cobalt (Co) =27 Lanthanum (La) =57 Tellurium (Te) =52 =209 this is were i was headed with the zinc thing i just couldn't get ti to work out

  5. SOUTH CENTRAL PARK | LAST BUT NOT LEAST

    Battle like children!

    Network -vs- Laptop

    School -vs- Diploma

    Turkey -vs- Panda

    Quirky -vs- Indistinct

    Rook -vs- Pawn

    Dork -vs- Platypi

    Planet -vs- Cosmic

    Science -vs- Pagan

    The answer is a two word phrase.

    This puzzle is an original by me. It is not straight math or logic, but follows the flavor of The Master Theorem or MIT puzzle hunts. It was originally published on my website here. If you like it, please see my current kickstarter campaign.

    Good luck!

    I assume to figure this out we need to find how the words relate?

    For example:

    Network-vs-Laptop could be Group Vs Stand alone

  6. Actually, I was thinking the same thing, but that doesn't work either. It just kicks the can down the road a bit. If the first guy has to flip S1 up so that the Reporter doesn't count him the first time, he'll only count to 43 and won't know that he doesn't need to count to 44.

    if the count makes it to 43, then that means everyone has hit the switch at least once. just one guy only hit it once not twice. but everyone has been in the room
  7. I'm not sure if i have all the combos. but if i do this is what i'm thinking

    bb/wb/wb

    ww/wb/wb

    ww/wb/bb

    ww/ww/bb

    ww/bb/bb

    wb/wb/wb

    that gives us six. two of which we can eliminate because they just wouldn't be fair to all students. (ww/ww/bb, bb/bb/ww)

    so if you sit in the first chair this gives you a 2 out of 4 chance to guess right. so first chair
