Mr Logic's off-line riddle

[Samuel]

But it IS in segments

17, 30, 66, 33, 77, 53 or 42

, right?

that's exactly what i mean, you should try broadening the range of levels you check, you may be surprised at what you find

[whitehelm]

Sammy: Ok, that doesn't make sense. You said on page 8 that "the fork is somewhere from the last two parter to segment 42", yet in your last post you say its not in those segments.

[Samuel]

my two posts are not contradicting each other, you've just perceived that they are lol i know that doesnt really help but i have almost came out and told you where to look now

[whitehelm]

Ok, so I guess it could be a second answer to 86 and 22, since that's the beginning of the range, but I can't think of any other way to add the numbers together. Well, I did try concatenation, but that doesn't work. Also, I don't get what that has to do with not seeing something, theres nothing else on the screen.

I have to admit this one is quite hard, I only managed to figure it out after a couple of nice hints from jack via PM. I also have to say that although Sammy's posts didn't make sense at first, he is in fact right, you're limiting yourself way too much. You're getting closer though, now you just have to focus on what can not be seen.

And it might help you to check out the SiMPLE forums, Mr. Logic gave a big hint, which narrows the possible segments down quite a bit.

I'm now oficially feeling very dumb.

I have even lost two hours of sleep looking at this.

If someone can at least give me a clear indication (via PM) of in which segment I have to look, i may be saved from dementia. Or not. I don't know.

Well, after a lot of help, I'm finally looking at thje right segment. And still can't find an alternate answer. Any new hints? I don't understand how "to look for something that can't be seen"

Anyway, thanks to everyone who is helping.

[Samuel]

lol ThemePark i like being cryptic

[wwhere]

Is there really another answer to the question of the segment with the split? I don't find any other possibility. And it would have nothing to do with "something that can't be seen".

Anybody know how to manipulate the images? I now have 50 bitmap files on my desktop from screen captures, and I still haven't found the clue!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...................

[whitehelm]

Woohoo I got it, moving on...

You don't need any image manipulation, just good eyes.

Edit: Now I'm stuck on 95

There's a grid of letters and a grille to put over them, presumably to show which letters to use in the grid like in 98, but doing that gets me gibberish no matter whether the grille is turned upside-down or not, or whether I read vertically or horizontally.

i am totally stuck lol, havent found segment 42!!!

found, 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,13,16,20,21,24,37,47,82,78... i think that all lol

and am now in a loop... cannot find where to change my answer, could someone please point me in the right direction???
thanks

[boobatuba]

Almost done now, I think...stuck on 95...I have the mask overlaid correctly but the answer takes me in a loop...checking previous answers...yarrgh

[wwhere]

Argh, everybody finds the answer to avoid 42 but me!



I'm beggining to think that I should simply give up

Edit: forget about giving up! I found it! I think someone gave me a wrong hint...

Huh, how'd you manage to get a question out of that? I've tried it every which way and got nothing.

[wwhere]

In 95 too, trying to match grid and text...

Same to me. I get nothing from the letters. There must be something with the grid, but I don't know what.
