Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 It looks like you've identified the bogus clue, huh?Well done! Really? I expected Thomas would be the one to figure it out. Oh, well. You overestimate my English knowledge by far. Maybe I even saw that while using that anagram Server, but I wouldn't have recognized it. The White Letters are Everywhere! That's a real one! UPDATE: I found the missing games (thanks!). Now I wonder how tricky you have to think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Activision games. But man... I'm at a complete loss as to what to do next. I've even taken the puzzle into Photoshop to apply masks to the names, colors, and so forth. But I'm getting nowhere with it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Join the club I still have yet to figure out one of the clues and even with two useful clues I'm having trouble. I'm confident that I'll find the solution, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 @Thomas - I AM English & you still have found more clues than I have! I give up, Ben your competition has beaten me utterly (and I really would have liked that boxed Room of Doom). So barring divine intervention, I cannot imagine that I will solve this puzzle, I "dock my cap to you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room 34 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I am finding these clues utterly inscrutible. Somehow I think Ben has managed to put together a HARDER challenge than his first. I am going to have to sit out until the hints start getting more obvious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I've managed to patch together a few words using his clues, but don't think I'll be solving this one anytime soon. At least the word search part was relatively easy. My brain's fried. No more puzzle for me tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I don't think that's a new clue at all, since well all knew the "THEREISMORE" hint already. In his last big contest Ben did the same, often giving away clues that most people already knew. He obviously followed a strict plan, no matter how far the contestants got already. This was often very confusing, but now I (we!) know better. I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I'm just relieved that I didn't get up this morning to discover Thomas had won the contest! :wink: I still have a chance! (Right... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I'm just relieved that I didn't get up this morning to discover Thomas had won the contest! :wink: I still have a chance! (Right... ) Don't worry! This one is an open (and most likely very long) race. And I'm sure that I'm definitely not in the leading position, since I am completely stuck with all clues. BTW: I wonder where last contest's winner Jeffy Arensmeyer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a pattern in the clue though, for whatever that's worth. 7654 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 And he also omitted the word "the" in 3 of them, which makes me think that further anagram analysis of those early clues would probably be fruitless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Jefferson Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Hmmm... obscure links to web pages that in some way relate to titles of CommaVid games. All with "knee." There's something quite important there, although I'm too thick to see it. He seems to be hitting us over the head with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room 34 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 OK... Clearly the "knee" is an important concept. But is this just to inform us that some words in the word search are "bent" like a knee? Time will tell... Ben will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 (THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL PITFALL HARRY CLUE.) Yes, but it also has a KNEE. I am still convinced that the clues don't add anything new (especially because I can't use them ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I'm beginning to think the word search was a diversion, along with all the knee references. LOL! That still doesn't get me any closer to a solution though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
