| Dec-22-11 | | eSpade: HINT: There's a kind of an Apple called a "g5".
What's that? iMac G5?! |
 |
Dec-22-11
 | | FSR: Amazing to think that I've avoided this contest all these years, until this year. It's a whole bizarre world unto itself. |
|
Dec-22-11
| | FSR: <eSpade> Power Mac G5: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_... |
|

 | | JamesBJames: Summit, lancer, and premium are the ones I'm not entirely sure on. Tried some brute-forcing already with openings but no luck. |
|
| Dec-22-11 | | frogbert: well, there are some choices here. consider "predates": it can start on two different squares (g7/h8) and it can end on two different squares (a1/b2). and for every word, do we count the row or the square number? gives a number of options, doesn't it? |
|
| Dec-22-11 | | buRnINGbeNd: woooooooooooo! |
|
| Dec-22-11 | | frogbert: fsr, i change the game viewer to text only - achieves about the same thing i guess :o) |
|
Dec-22-11
| | JamesBJames: Nice job, <buRnINGbeNd>. That was really, really convoluted. |
|
| Dec-22-11 | | buRnINGbeNd: each word means a square
apple = g5
paper = a4
summit = g8
munitions = c4
premium = a1
predates = b4 (lol)
lancer = b1
the letters on the search are eprslat. rearrange that to get plaster, who only has one game in the database. |
|
Dec-22-11
| | JamesBJames: I had all the right squares, but I kept trying to make an opening with them. Sort of why I thought G8 for summit and A1 for premium was wrong. |
|
Dec-22-11
 | | Domdaniel: Got it! Plaster!! Nooooo....
Sigh. |
|
Dec-22-11
| | Domdaniel: And while A4 is most obvious, A% and A^ are paper sizes too ... That were close. |
|
Dec-22-11
 | | AnimusEtOblivio: Nicely done <Burning>! These last handful of clues from CG.com have been fantastic quality. |
|
Dec-22-11
| | Domdaniel: I found two games with Kings on a1 and g8 and pawns on the other squares. You don't want to know... |
|
Dec-22-11
| | Domdaniel: I meant A5 and A6. Coding is catching.
At least they haven't used the one-line-up on the keyboard 'oops' trick this year. |
|
Dec-22-11
| | Domdaniel: So near, so far ... so long.
I'm going to skip the next few. Hope to make it back for the finale. |
|
| Dec-22-11 | | frogbert: <These last handful of clues from CG.com have been fantastic quality.> yeah, probably. too bad i wasn't even refreshing for new hints - i should've realized there was something going on when people started talking about the apple g5 ... :o) |
|
Dec-22-11
 | | MostlyAverageJoe: My browser (on 60-second auto-reload) was still showing the clue as unsolved when I got Plaster... Congratulations, <buRnINGbeNd>. |
|
Dec-22-11
| | Domdaniel: Strange how this Kaff gets during the Klu hunt ... competitive and cooperative, even altruistic, at the same time. Quite unchesslike. No wonder they hate us. |
|
Dec-22-11
| | Domdaniel: <MAJ> Me too. Really thought I had it. And I hadn't checked back here for a few minutes, so didn't realize quite how close everyone was. So it goes. |
|
Dec-22-11
 | | PhilFeeley: I had all the seven words before I left work, but didn't know what to do with them. If someone hadn't pointed out eliminating their letters to reveal the message, I wouldn't have known. By the time I got home it was solved. I'm bad at this :-( |
|
Dec-22-11
 | | sleepyirv: Had Larsen-Cardoso. Couldn't get a server connection. |
|
Dec-22-11
| | JamesBJames: Got that super fast. Good thing I'm a college nerd familiar with memes. Had LARSEY-CARDOSA at first; realized the black guy was actually a black MAN, fixed my spelling error... and then the site went down.
Found the game with google, kept refreshing until the site came back up. |
|
| Dec-22-11 | | ericlgame: RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got Larsen Cardo and then I lost internet for a few minutes. The clue is solved right after I get it back. |
|
Dec-22-11
| | JamesBJames: Oh, I see, they might have taken the site down to fix the philosoraptor error -- originally it was highlighting the a instead of the o. |
