Internet-Labyrinth.com opens the new labyrinth with the starting prize
of $250!
(This is only the starting prize, we hope to duplicate the amount in
the next week when the labyrinth should start.)

The first site where you can win money prizes without luck.
All you have to do is to find the exit of the labyrinth.
All members who have found the exit become candidates for the price.

The best thing: The winner will be decided by voting in our community!
All candidates will have the opportunity to represent themselves and
to invite friends to vote for them.
If you have friends who are ready to vote for you, if you can persuade
other members to vote for you – you are the winner!

Registration is free and will be opened until the labyrinth starts (
in 10 days)  after that new members will have to be invited from
registered members in order to register. Register now and make sure
you don't miss this game!

Subject: Sudoku3D. A 3D version of Sudoku
hjodana
Send Email Send Email
 
Hi

I've written 3D version of Sudoku for PocketPC.
Sudoku3D for windows is currently in beta testing stage.

Sudoku3D has 3x3x3 grids. It's somewhat fewer numbers than the regular
Sudoku (27 numbers,instead of 81), but the 3D style gives it a
different level of difficulty.
In the game, you can actually rotate it, so you can view it from
different angle. It comes with hints and solver (cheat feature).


It's on:
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=22977

I hope you give it a try.

This form of typography also appears in on-line forums. It was once an
inevitable byproduct of using machines with limited support for lowercase
text (such as certain dumb terminals, early Apple II models), but as full
support of ASCII became standard, it became solely identified with
"shouting" or attention-seeking behaviour. As a result, Netiquette
generally discourages the use of all caps.

Since the use of all capital letters can be considered a form of shouting,
posting a forum message entirely in all caps is often taken as a sign that
the poster is a newbie or a troll.

Every blue-coloured cell in the upper grid, shows the sum of the numerical values of the letters which appear in the adjoining
yellow-coloured cells of the lower grid. (A = 1, B = 2 .... Z = 26). Of course, the opposite is true of the yellow-coloured cells. So, for example, the 40 in cell 5E, might mean that Z and N, Y and O etc are to be placed in cells 5D and 4E.
 
The letters and numbers written outside the upper grid serve no purpose, except to identify cells.

Instead of repeatedly saying "I found this great site" over and over
and over again, expecially for the same site, why not just be honest
and say "please visit my site for some great games." No one pimps
someone else's site so hard unless they are getting an affiliate
commision for sending visitors to it.
Not saying your site is bad or anything, just saying you should be a
little more honest about promoting it.

More information would make a solution much more likely, eg is there a
theme?  Is this a treasure hunt involving English majors?  Historians?
Mathematicians?  etc.  Might the plaintext be expected to lead to a
place?  A name?  A grid reference?  etc.

If this is for a team building exercise what is the
name of your group or company?  Where is the exercise
located?  Are there likely to be non-English words in
the answer (Indian, Spanish etc.)?  Do you know what
the treasure is?  Is it possible that this is more
complicated than a simple substitution cipher?

It for a leadership building exercise for the staff a salvation army camp.  It is located at camp wonderland in Wisconsin.  It is all in english. the clue is actually to lead us to the last clue and it is possible that it is more complicated than a simple cypher.  We have alot of people working on it and have had no luck.
Thanks for the help

Hi Joel,
 
Despite spending a great deal of time on the code, I am still no further!
 
When you find out the solution, please let me know what it is!
 
Good luck with your challenge.

Bugs and Cubs
 
Twenty creatures have been encoded according to the following rules.
 
u = a e i o u
b = b d f h k l t
c = c m n r s v w x z
g = g j p q y
 
So, for example cucub would represent camel and buuc would represent lion.
 
Can you solve these? (If you find more than one answer, please let me know!)
