robsterman Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Whoops - sorry about that! OK, I will provide subtle hints for questions 2 and on. By the way, question #11 is ROUGH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Ok, I, the Robsterman, will help you out with some valid hints to Question #1 Hint #1 - It is a brand of Unix. Hint #2 - The name of this game begins with "S" Hint #3 - It rhymes with Polaris. Keep the faith, Robsterman :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Though I know the answer now ("thanks" to ) I am immediately stuck at the next question. This is probably a contest I will not win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Stuck on #2 despite thinking very laterally for it (stuff to with football, evading police on the freeway, court trials, murder charges and Police Squad). Unless there's a game to do with Orange Juice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterman Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 How cool would it have been if Othello was the answer to question #2? It isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterman Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 After the heat I caught off of giving away the first one, no way am I giving a hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Thanks for #1, #2 was way easy for me and I'm going further later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Boo Robsterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterman Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Why is the Robsterman being booed? Is it because he gave away the first answer, or because he is not giving away the second one? Look, let's be honest, most of you would not have gone part Answer #1 if not for me. Now, it is true that my hints could have been more subtle. The Robsterman realizes this. But, to boo the Robsterman? That is not nice. Especially with Thanksgiving right around the corner. So, let's have no more of this booing the Robsterman. It's not good for the Robsterman. It's not good for you. And it's just not the thing to do for Thanksgiving. And, as the Robsterman has said, he will not give away hints to answers #2-#10. And these are tough in their own right. So, keep playing. And check out the Atari Age Robsterman Contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Because we're all trying to compete here so why are you telling others the answers to even one question?

liquid_sky Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 ive advised room34 to take the contest offline until an admin can get around to deleting robstermans account and running an IP block so his contest wont be tarnished, and all his hours of hard work wont be wasted.

robsterman Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Check the main context link. Can anyone help me? I am trying to proceed, but the bat is truly messing with me. I answer a question, and then it steals my chalice. Help! P.S. Relax All! The Robsterman is signing off - for good. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, andd good luck with the contest.

Don't worry... other than the answer to #1, all signs point to "The Robsterman" being full of shit. I doubt he'll disrupt things any further. The answer to the first question is no big deal. I considered it a "gimme" anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Well, I am still stuck on the second one. EDIT: got the second one and on to the "26" one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Scientist Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 #1 was moot, and the next two were easy. The fourth ("26") is a doozy. I've found half of the objectives so far, plus several other words (including Jaguar luminaries "Doug" and "Sven"). Are there any diagonals that are required? I have yet to find one that seems intentional. I'm wondering if the solution is linked to the one element that appears intact once and split twice. However, the 20x20 layout does not lend itself to the types of manipulations to the playfield that come to mind. -Mad Scientist edit: It should also be noted that the one and only hg2g "ultimate answer" did not work. Bummer. Back to the puzzle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 The first few got me stumped a little, but to tell the truth, the second one was an ounce of luck! The word search has me stumped like you wouldn't believe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I would also like to know if diagonals are included. I have found 12 out of 26 and haven't found any diag. yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateers69 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 14 out of 26 and no diagnals(SP?) yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Scientist Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I'm working on the lit/ toy/ geometry crossovers right now. Boy, there's some weird cross-genre fan-fic out there... but still no answer. -MS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
