Compe-TEN-tion (Round 5 on Page 10!)


Alright, so I was pleased with the response our game of Forum Fortunes saw, so I thought I would go and try another competition, this time a collection of ten different competitions (hence the name) that will be released one at a time. Some of these will be a bit more of riddles than simple guessing, but it'll be a mix of different challenges - and I think they are all doable if you approach them the right way.

First up, we have:

Round 1: Cryptic Clues

Below are three riddles that will each lead you to different parts of the keshiheads.co.uk site. They could lead to a page, a section of a page, a video, a picture, a link - anything!

Once you crack the code, just post the thing being referenced below.

Any correct guesses within the next week will be worth 15 scoreboard points!

Riddle #1: The only of "US" that you must redo, all listed opposite of left/above MXC's year of death backwards.

Riddle #2: After switching to a site version we HAIT, you will find more About a "loss" of hair.

Riddle #3: Play me not like a game, I am number 2 in three ways, access my page just before the 4um.

Pay lots of attention to the words that are emphasized in some way!

Re: Compe-TEN-tion


Whoa!!! I am legitimately impressed, I was half concerned no one would understand what these even were. Congratulations for getting it and 15 points.

For anyone wondering:

"Play me not like a game" = something is played, but not like a game - like a video

"Access my page just before the forum" = the answer was found on the 'Videos' section on the site, which is just before the link to the 'Forum' (4um)

"number 2 in three ways" = The video is found in the second box of the videos page (Unseen Takeshi's Castle), is the second video in this box, and is also titled "Part 2" - hence being "2[/second] in three ways"

This is good as it provides more of an outline for how the others can be solved. Very impressed emoticon

Alright, trying to make this a bit more doable with some hints.

Riddle #1: “US” is representative of a certain title

Riddle #2: HAIT is an anagram. They’re all hard, but as I made them I was thinking this was the easiest of the three!

That’s a start, but the answer is more specific! But I think you can get there.

I really want Dan to play this game and win. I think he (YOU, if you’re reading this emoticon ) can do it as this game is inspired by a similar thing he made 10 years ago. But his was more complicated and creative so I think he can def win some points here emoticon

Just over one day remains! Play the challenge while you can.

A second, simpler competition will begin after this one closes so stay tuned!

I will say that the other two are referring to things even more specific (and not directly linkable).

Anyone trying to work out the answer (of the many people who've played so far emoticon) can share what they think they have so far and maybe work together to solve them. Only one person would get the points, but maybe two players could compare notes emoticon

Re: Compe-TEN-tion


Annnd gone! A new round is going to begin momentarily, but first let's explain the other two riddles!

Riddle #1:

The answer was the list of episodes which Bridge Ball appeared in.

"The only of "US" that you must redo" = The only obstacle of the Ultimate Showdown" (US) that you must redo = Bridge Ball

"MXC's year of death backwards" = 70 because the show ended in '07

"listed opposite of left/above" = listed right below

70 is significant because this is the number of times Bridge Ball appeared - and the list of episodes it appeared in is right below this number.

Riddle #2:

The answer was Wax Off (the punishment on TCT).

"After switching to a site version we HAIT" = rearrange the letters of HAIT to get "THAI" - so switching to the Thai version of the website

"About" = the capitalization is meant to subtly indicate that the answer is found in the About section of the site

"loss of hair" = Probably the biggest clue - since it describes the punishment

(The quotation marks around "loss" were included for emphasis as the punishment was the result of the contestants' loss)

The underlined letters put together spell out "three" - which is a nudge toward the third tab of the 'About' page as well as the third punishment.

--

Make sense? emoticon

I'm still very impressed that someone got one of these right (and so quickly), I'm glad too or I would have felt like no one knew what I was talking about emoticon

I thought the second one was the easiest as I feel it offered the most overlapping clues (like I could take one or two of them away and it would still be theoretically solvable), but of course as the gamemaster I have a very skewed perception!

Next round on page 2!
