chiffre

thanks
solved

in that case ignore my pm.
if you solve the pizza one - leave a good hint

Hint for pizza puzzle:

For the pizza problem you will have to know the formula for volume of a disc/pizza. Once you know that you can use the information supplied which will result in a word. That word is your solution.

Can sbd please help me with the puzzle named "chiffre"?

Small hint for chiffre puzzle:

If you want to decode the text, start with small words. Then the amount of options is very limited.

Big hint for chiffre puzzle

This hint will show the first two words of the coded text, only click if you are absolutely sure you want to know:

The first two words are "two mathematicians"

I desperately need help on the "Geometry" question. Hints are appreciated!

lol
pizza very easy
Ignore my PMs

[thyseeker]

for geometry, i know how this is called in french, but i can't find the equivalent in english.
also I don't know if the answer is REALLy the name..

i'm stuck........

Well, I would love to know the french word then. I don't even know the general direction the answer is going to. The "Look carefully" hint suggests a lot, but is not clear enough. Should it be something like "collection", "set", "curved line", or should it be mathematical. I also tried developer stuff like the name of the image that is shown... Aargh



In general, what I do if I know a word in another language (and an online translator does not help) is use wikipedia.Find the article you know and then switch to another language. Might help in this case?

At Geometry your picture should look like

four circles - two whole circles and the other two partially cut out by the first two conditions.

Once your picture is correct, you will surely see what it is.

Wow...
I had only plotted one quadrant, that's why it was just a bunch of lines to me and I couldn't 'see' it. Thanks!

Am I prevented from continuing with this riddle because I am geometrically-handicapped?
This is not fair! I don't even know the names of the mathematical signs! what is "plotting"? "quadrant"? lol.

Transcription solution

I think the creator of the puzzle made an error on the "transcription" puzzle. The answer that gets accepted is actually slightly wrong!

You have to transcribe without the accents, otherwise the answer will not get accepted. Ofcourse, without the accents it means something entirely different

Can someone help me with the script one please? I tried what TPReal suggested, but I must have done it wrong because it's still not working.

I tried

to disable Java, but the window still keeps popping up. I think I either clicked the wrong options or missed one or something else. In case anyone's able to help, I'm using Internet Explorer 6 (I don't have Firefox or any other browsers)

try do disable script in general - first one under "script". It worked for me

[songbird72884]

Thanks so much Talron! I was clicking the wrong thing after all lol, it finally worked


Oh my I'm thinking I don't like this riddle I haven't taken algebra or geometry since grade 9 (I'm now 23) and I've certainly never seen anything like this. Well, I'm gonna give it a go, because it looks slightly familiar, but can anyone tell me if I need a scientific quackulator or graph paper for it? I don't have either of those things

Geometry 'translation'

On the geometry puzzle basically it says (someone correct me if I'm wrong )

All combinations of x and y
for which is true
x between -4 and 4 AND
y between -2 and 2 AND
x^2+y^2=0.25 OR x^2+y^2=4 OR 25-x^2=(y-3)^2 OR 25-x^2=(y+3)^2

If you draw the shapes described by those last 4 equations, you will see the answer...

I'm at 'un autre chiffre' now.
That will take a while longer to solve

Woo! I found an online scientific calculator, but I have one little problem. The 'v' in the geometry level ( 'v25'). Is that a regular v or is it a symbol? I'm trying to put it in the plotting line and I'm not sure if I need a character code or something.

That 'v' is the sign for OR.
And the reversed v is the sign for AND.
