How the hell is this so damn addictive?

Smirnoffka · Jan 2008

I have spent the last 45 minutes just trying to guess 5 numbers. It's pretty ridiculous. Here, you guys have a try..

http://www.tez.id.au/

I got the first one a day ago and now I am hooked. Its just a fucking number guessing game. Arrggghh.

HonkyPunch · Jan 2008

what the fuck this is retarded
there is no way to know this
wtf

Snowfly · Jan 2008

Jeez are you Mensa?? Even with the answers I don't see the connection between those and the clues.

I hate this game, it's making me feel like a dimwit

Tulkamir · Jan 2008

Haha, I get most of them after I see the answer, tough to figure out though. Kind of a neat idea though.

Joseph Silverman · Jan 2008

6 was almost obvious, all of the others are beyond me.

notman · Jan 2008

wow, I'm determined to get ONE right, but none of the previous answers make any damn sense to me... I mean, I can figure out how one could make a connection between the question and answer, but I don't see how you should know that was the answer.

Smirnoffka · Jan 2008

Uh, well, heres my understanding of the past ones, just so you know how they kinda work

Puzzle 12: Matthew Green. The answer takes Spartans to find
it. Answer: 42300

Uh, dont know about the 42, but the spartan refernce is easy

Puzzle 11: Grahame Wan. My eyes are perfect even reading the bottom line of the eye test. Answer: 92020

9 lines on a reading chart. 20 20 vision

Puzzle 10: Steve Zoombi. mmmMMMmmm pie... Answer: 31415

Pi. 3.1415

Puzzle 9: Grahame Wan. Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey arn't hungry. I had a snack as well.. Answer: 78812

Probably the hardest. They were both in the movie 7. If you read it out it goes: seven ate, (i) ate one too. 78812

Puzzle 8: Hugo Vann. There's nothing to do in Nhill. Answer: 03418

An Australian one. 3418 is Nhill postcode, and it has nothing to do with it (0). So 03418

Puzzle 7: Membreya. I hit a hole in one! It came close to some people so I had to yell FFOOOOOOUUUUUUURRRRRR! But it missed them.. Answer: 14440

Hole in 1 (1) FOUR!! (444) Didnt hit anyone (0)

Puzzle 6: James Walter and Mr Chucky (Dead heat!). Clue was: NURSE! IV STAT!!! 5mg of morphine over the next 3 hours. Answer: 45180

IV = 4 in roman numerals, 5 miligrams, 3 hours = 180 minutes. 45180

Puzzle 5: Murray Coggan. Clue was: I WON! I WON! YOU ALL DIDN'T!!!! Answer: 11234

I won, I won, means I came first, (11) and then you all didnt means you came 2nd 3rd and 4th (234)

Puzzle 4: Gavin Cameron. Clue was: Dig in! Then get nothing

Answer: 24680

2-4-6-8 Dig in dont wait! Then you get nothing, 0.

Puzzle 3: Alex Good. Clue was: No longer a teenager, now just another working robot. Answer: 10100

No longer a teenager is 20. Robots use binary. 20 in binary is 10100

Puzzle 2: Adriaan Window. Clue was: Old macs are 1337. Answer: 31310

Old Macs, Old Macdonald, Eee Iii Eee Iii Ohh, in 1337 is 31310

Puzzle 1: Tom Sawade. Clue was: It's all downhill from here. Answer: 98765

Assuming you start at 0, downhill in order from there is 98765 (I got that one )

I officially have no life.

Steve Schulze · Jan 2008

Its not that complicated. You just have to look at them a bit like a cryptic crossword.

The Answer to life, the universe and everything is 42. There are 300 hundred spartans. Therefore 42300.

notman · Jan 2008

Well, like the current one, "This spy wants it all." I'm sure they mean 007, but what does wanting it all mean/reference? It will probably make sense once someone guesses it, but it's not the slightest bit clear

JDinges · Jan 2008

19007...

I don't get it? except the 007 reference.

Tulkamir · Jan 2008

I don't get where the 19 came from in the last one, but I got 14 in a couple of seconds. :P

Smirnoffka · Jan 2008

Woooo! Just before me

I tried his other constant first, thats what undid me.

Tulkamir · Jan 2008

hahaha, yea, I wasn't sure which to go with, luck of the draw in choosing I suppose.

foreverendering · Jan 2008

cant solve it

you'd think it would be 1___1 because of the clue "one of us at either end"

notman · Jan 2008

yeah, I got 14... pretty easy with a search on the guy, but it said I was wrong when I put in the answer... after 2 more attempts, it told me someone got it. I guess there's a delay there

I'm assuming the new one has 1###1, but I've tried as many disconnect codes as I know. Hell, I even found a 10061 no connection error on google

foreverendering · Jan 2008

since he said "just don't connect" I guess you could take it as barely not connecting hence a single 0 in the middle, still no clue what the second and fourth number would be

Joseph Silverman · Jan 2008

4s would make sense too, wouldn't they? Connect 4, and all?

Smirnoffka · Jan 2008

I'm stumped

Tulkamir · Jan 2008

As am I, and it would seem anyone else currently on the site. :P

HonkyPunch · Jan 2008

Well think about it visually.
Perhaps if you think about the numbers as puzzle pieces, the rest will fall into place?

blankslatejoe · Jan 2008

i kept thinking like..website connection errors, like 404

1 on either side, ....1 404 1

Joseph Silverman · Jan 2008

I tried 24042 before, yeah. Cause of 'we' and 'us' on either side, i started thinking 2___2

notman · Jan 2008

I tried 14041, which 404 would be a missing site error. I've tried all sorts of dial-up no connection codes with three digits (so I could have ones on the ends)... and I tried 11011, thinking along the lines foreverending suggested, but it didn't work either. It will probably be something dumb that makes way less sense than what we've been trying.

btw, did anyone else see the denial of service warning to that IP earlier?

Just for the record, it wasn't me :P

notman · Jan 2008

well, someone got it

HonkyPunch · Jan 2008

uhhh
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_(telephone_number)

Smirnoffka · Jan 2008

Whats with the 555 in the middle? Sounds like you guys were on the right track.

Joseph Silverman · Jan 2008

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_timer_IC seemed to make sense too. But its probably the phone thing.

Smirnoffka · Jan 2008

Yeah, explanation is on the site.

notman · Jan 2008

I want the answer to 16 now.... I'm assuming 2 is involved, because of the couple... and maybe 10 for perfect.

Update: Ok, answer is there.... I don't get it

Smirnoffka · Jan 2008

I think its because its 2 perfect numbers 496 and 28. As for the next one, thats an Australian one, Kevin 07 was his slogan, so 07 he came first, so 1 and there have been 25 PM's before him. So its 07125.

notman · Jan 2008

yeah, like I said before, most of the time, they make sense when you know the answer, but not as much sense as many other answers.

Asmuel · Jan 2008

For "This spy wants it all", my understanding was that the 19th james bond movie was the world is not enough. so 19007

Smirnoffka · Jan 2008

Yeah.

pliang · Jan 2008

So...are you people trying to play the Power ball Lottery???

mrworthless · Jan 2008

Valandar · Jan 2008

#69 was the easiest. Puzzle. Ever.

It would be nice to see a quick one liner of how the numbers related, once they are solved (next to the answer or something).

notman · Jan 2008

Hell yeah, I finally got one

Damn, my life is complete and I can once again concentrate on school work, and regular work

mrworthless · Jan 2008

Thats not really do-able right now. Possibly in the next version.
