Do you want to play a game? http://i37.tinypic.com/29n6m1d.png I have an over-abundance of xp - as such, I am giving 500xp away. All you have to do is post one word. It has to be a specific word, though. It's up to you to find out which word. If you work together, the prize will be distributed evenly to all contributors. That is all. New rules: Each contributor to the final correct result who is ORIGINAL in his/her contribution gets a fraction of 400xp. The correct namer of the final word gets 100xp. Keep quiet, and you could win it all. EDIT: MrsSpookyBuzz has kindly added 500xp to the pot! The final poster of the correct word gets 500 xp off the bat, the remaining 500 to be divided as above. EDIT: It's been over an hour! Comphermc has added another 500xp to the pot! This means the final poster gets 750 xp, the rest to be spread. EDIT: Important discoveries 1) Syroc highlights the OP, discovers hidden link 2) BSPRAGUE edits levels on image in link, discovers following text; "mozaiq.org NB: NOT with this image " 3) compher posits "Hmm... by choosing the correct image, we can place it in mozaiq to get the answer... that's where I'm guessing we can find the solution. Now, to choose the right picture..." 4) v0rtex finds the right image, but not the password. He hides it from everyone. Sneaky. 5) v0rtex owns up, reveals identity of the image to be MY AVATAR. 6) KlawwTheClown comphermc finds the correct password - lbpcentral. He reveals the following message: "Well done for making it this far. Tricky puzzles give great rewards. The hardest example would obviously result, detrimentally, in Sam Lloyd's outstandingly logical/lateral, invigorating, powerfully obscure puzzles. There is but one step left. Can you solve it?" 7) comphermc then posits: "Alright, I'm trying to look further into the hint: "Well done for making it this far. Tricky puzzles give great rewards. The hardest example would obviously result, detrimentally, in Sam Lloyd's outstandingly logical/lateral, invigorating, powerfully obscure puzzles. There is but one step left. Can you solve it?" What is meant by "The hardest example would obviously result, detrimentally..."? I'm not asking you Dawes, but everyone else." 8) SAGE SOLVES IT! The first letters of the phrase "The hardest example would obviously result, detrimentally, in Sam Lloyd's outstandingly logical/lateral, invigorating, powerfully obscure puzzles." form the phrase "The word is lollipop". Therefore - the final word was: lollipop!

No it does not. There is a specific word required. Out of the many millions of words in the english language, the chance of you GUESSING it is very small. It'll take you a lot of posts. Get going?

Right, so we must narrow it down. Is the world a tangible thing or item? For example, a toaster or a human?

No. Just another few million to go. SLS10, I will not answer any questions on the word.

In those last four posts, you've now MORE THAN DOUBLED YOUR ODDS. From 2/several million to 6/several million, you've guessed 3 times as many words! Seriously guys, are you really going to keep guessing?

Lol, you're going to earn back all that XP given the number of posts that will probably be necessary for a correct guess (assuming that happens ever). Um... biscuit Lol.

Aaahahahaha. This is stupid. We can't ask questions, we just guess randomly. Next thread, please.

Not sure what you mean by "more than meets the eye." Is this some psych experiment to see if people will fight impossible odds? My word is luck.

Seems like Syroc is the only one that has thought about reading between the lines. Compher too, I think, though that may just be based off Syroc's post, not off where Syroc got it.

I noticed the Good Luck thing, but since it's two words, I didn't think much of it. Now, out of sheer boredom, I say taken

Actually, I hadn't seen Syroc's edit. Luckiness @Ard - never mind, you were right.

^ two words... invisible

2009-10-17 22:26:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

That's what, 20 words you've guessed with barely any basis? Not bad. Keep it up, it'll only take you a month or so of solid posting. As I say, what's invisible at first glance becomes apparent when you look closer. Well done Syroc, dandygandy, and compher for actually following my hints. Syroc receives one fraction of the 400xp for following them first.

compher, you didn't, I've been checking this thread constantly. No, it is not underline. Nor is it yellow. Maybe your lateral thinking needs to focus more on linear thinking...perhaps a curve...or a circle...definitely something that ends up repeating itself, dandygandy.

I'm afraid it's not word. Nor link. And coxy, I do not! You remind me of my father...back when he used to come into my room, and he'd complain that I was hanging with the wrong people. He'd say that they were a bad influence, and I'd complain. I remember one time I ran from him and jumped out my window. My underwear caught on a tree, and all the people gathered as a swung, and hit me like a pinata, yelling "haha, you're a pinata!" Also, thanks MrsSpooky! No correct answers yet.

Perhaps someone would have noticed that what I underline is not a hint to the WORD, as the underlines don't link up, but a hint to HOW to find the word. comphermc, enlighten everyone as to what link you mean. Also, it's not my sig, that's a cycle I've had for months.

Ok, NB just means like "take note"

2009-10-17 22:48:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

NB means Nota bone, latin for note well. In other words, Take note: sage, go on, see what you get What other image could it be?

2009-10-17 22:48:00 Author: dawesbr Posts: 3280

Does anyone know what NB means. I suppose I might be dense, lol. Note by <csocm Edit: Wrong answer but also a good translation.

Lol, I just put that big black and white diagonal box in your sig through the mozaiq machine only to see it has your name, dawesbr

Incinerator, they changed the levels on the picture. Open the picture again, save it, then use the fill tool to fill in the white space.

2009-10-17 22:51:00 Author: dawesbr Posts: 3280

Just a quick guess before I go, though I'm not sure if someone has guessed this already: pattern

cmon lol most people trying to win already have thousands of xp

2009-10-17 22:53:00 Author: Incinerator22 Posts: 3251

---

good guess....if it was a guess.

2009-10-17 22:53:00 Author: Mod5.0 Posts: 1576

---

Hmm... by choosing the correct image, we can place it in mozaiq to get the answer... that's where I'm guessing we can find the solution. Now, to choose the right picture... I'm not doing it for the xp - I'm doing it for the Lolz.

2009-10-17 22:53:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

---

Well, I hope it has nothing to do with your sig or avatar because I'm not seeing either right now and can't bothered to turn them back on. Speaking of pattern: You use "all" three times. This probably doesn't get us any further but hey.

I'm not doing it for the xp - I'm doing it for the Lolz. Same. And I'm curious as to what the word actually is.

2009-10-17 22:58:00 Author: dandygandy2704 Posts: 1002

the link just brings me to the words "good luck". Is my computer screwing up lol?

2009-10-17 22:59:00 Author: Incinerator22 Posts: 3251

---

dandygandy, the word is not special. It's the journey there that counts. Incinerator, NO, you have to EDIT THE IMAGE. THE TEXT IS HIDDEN. Read the OP.

2009-10-17 22:59:00 Author: dawesbr Posts: 3280

hmmm this sounds like a good guess.... questions

the link just brings me to the words "good luck". Is my computer screwing up lol? No, look really closely at the top of the picture. In faint white letters, you can see some words. By fiddling with the levels of the image, you can work out what it says.

riddles ------ Dude, you're not going to get it that way - may as well try to figure out which picture we need to put into mozaiq rather than guessing at random.

2009-10-17 23:03:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338

---

I think I found the right image (http://mozaiq.org/mz/15201/4667293/)... You can probably figure out where I got that idea from... EDIT: So the word is either HATE or motor gaseline!

2009-10-17 23:03:00 Author: KlawwTheClown Posts: 1106

---

Sage, it'd have to be something static, so it's not the header of lbpc or my sig or anything like that, that's a given. It's got to be something I was sure you'd find. Here's another hint - Tools/Decrypt.

2009-10-17 23:04:00 Author: dawesbr Posts: 3280

---

Wow thats a huge breakthrough Clown.

2009-10-17 23:05:00 Author: Mod5.0 Posts: 1576

I have the correct image... but now what's the PW?

2009-10-17 23:05:00 Author: v0rtex Posts: 1878

---

v0rtex, well, let's hope you get the right image. As for the password, well...again, all I can say is it has to be something I knew you'd know, and is static.

2009-10-17 23:06:00 Author: dawesbr Posts: 3280

A hint please, v0rtex?

2009-10-17 23:08:00 Author: Frinklebumper Posts: 941

compher, he may have found the wrong one. If you get the wrong password with an encrypted image, it gives you the same message as if you'd got the wrong password with a bog standard image.

Incinerator, save that image, then on the decrypt tool in mozaiq, go choose file, then choose the image (should be encrypted. something)

Final hint: Well done for making it this far. Tricky puzzles give great rewards.

From his biography: When Loyd was only 17, he invented his Trick Mules Puzzle which is deceptively difficult. The object is to cut apart the three pieces and then reassemble them so that the two jockeys are riding the mules. The puzzle was sold by Loyd to the American showman Phineas T. Barnum (of Barnum & Bailey Circus fame). Loyd earned some $10,000 from the puzzle. It is a typical Loyd puzzle. He was a master at making puzzles that appeared so simple to solve that people felt compelled to attempt them, only to find that they would spend hours unsuccessfully trying to figure them out. Potentially related?

The only hints about this final clue I've given are THINK LATERALLY and TAKE AN OUT OF THE WAY APPROACH Sage, I thought it was Lloyd, purely because I've never seen the name "Loyd" before, only "Lloyd". Just a typo.
