The basic premise of the game is to find the answer and use it to get to the next level. I just got to level 3 and the head scratching has begun.

Naturally there's forums (http://www.ab.fvvw.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=5) to steal clues from, and pass them off as your own.

Give it a bash and compare your brain power to that of other Generalites!

There was something like this to do with some manner of programming language here once. I failed that one hard.

Also, yay, level 8.

You can use the method you used to get the answer on level 2, but you don't need to. The answer is right there, and has been since the start of the game.

It's been fairly easy so far...level 6 at the moment. I liked Level 2. :)

I had to look at hints for level 2 ><

Then I accidentally got to level 6 after looking at level 3's hints.
Then I did levels 6 and 7 by myself.
And now I'm not sure I can be bothered to look at hints for level 8.

It's this strange scrabble board, no idea what to do with it. Think it follows on from some other puzzle ("Remember, letter then word" it says), so I've given up. I can't even solve level three by myself. Hopeless!

See?

Yes, I see how you get there after you know the answer, I just don't see how you'd go from the clue to the answer without knowing it already! if it'd been Rug + Bravo + Yankee I might've got it.

And the "before the soft network" one... Was that 13a or 13b? Because I saw the dancing and got that with Ifreann's hint, but what does that have to do with soft networks? What is a soft network, anyway? This is worse than cryptic crosswords ><.

I don't even know what the question is for 14. I do know the answer to 15 and 16, but not how to get there.

If you work on the basis that 'rug' has nothing to do with 'blue' or 'yellow', then it's a lot simpler.

13b is the dancing one. 13a is the soft network. A soft network is a network that's soft...:p

You're a computery type, you should be able to get it easily.

I don't even know what the question is for 14. I do know the answer to 15 and 16, but not how to get there.
I'm not sure knowing the question helps...
Wanna dance more?

Level 14: Before you start do anything...

[hint] An important process...

I got the answer to 15 from the forum, without knowing the question. 16's quite easy. But I've not got a clue about 14.

I got the dancing one, but only saw the soft network one. No idea what it's going on about, and I just googled "soft network" and neither does Google or Wikipedia. I'm not good at this :p
I take it that "3" wasn't the thing before soft networks? It should take me to question 13b?

Was just about to clue you for that one.

I'm stuck on 28. I assume it's something to do with Intel's Core 2 processors, but I don't have the faintest clue what.

I'm thrilled to hear that you're stuck on 28, because I'm stuck on 27 now. Hint me up, and I'll help with 28. :)

I'm on 30 now. 27...that's the 'device' one, isn't it?

Right...

Think in computer terms. What's 'tiny' about a computer? It's a common prefix (though it's not the answer). What do you need to have in a computer, that starts with that prefix? And who makes them?

Nevermind, I got it.

Ok. Tiny = an answer to a previous level. Soft network ring any bells?

So the device is _____*********, and the answer is a company that makes them.

I'm not understanding 13A. So unless soft network is short for Microsoft Network and it's some reference to Apple or unix or something I'm completely lost.

I figured that was the "tiny" in question. I'm even fairly sure that I'm thinking of the right device, but all the companies I can think of that make said device do not seem to be correct. Is this company one I have definitely heard of, or something more obscure?

Microprocessor, yeah?

You probably have heard of them. The [hint] on the page is a big clue. It's not just the first letter that's a capital...

That would be the device, yes.

The obvious two I tried right off were Intel and IBM. I have since found a webpage listing microprocessor companies and tried all of them. I am so bloody baffled as to what I'm missing... :p

12-04-2007, 01:12
So, 17 is confusing me...am I supposed to add up all of the numbers after the word style that are in the head, or is the numbers in the body part, and then take away the number in the span? I get 9 as a number after I do that second part but I still don't understand this...and the hints on their forum make it even more confusing.

I got that through trial and error, and I'm not sure how you get the correct answer. If you just try every number starting with 1, it won't take too long to get there.

Edit: That's an extremely bad way of phrasing it, sorry. Try every number, starting AT 1. So 1, 2, 3, 4...etc.

Bugger! It was, and it was about the only one not written as an acronym, and for some silly reason I didn't think to try its initials. *facepalm*

I've got it partially figured out...I think that by "without spans" it means take away the number that is in the span from the total...and the "itself" means one style, so add one to the total. The key is what the number of the total is...

Kyronea
12-04-2007, 01:27
I see how 17 works...see, the numbers after every style in the entire source code add up to 30, then you take "by itself" which is 1, then you take the span number again and add it to 31, and that produces 35, which is the answer. It's all about addition, with no subtraction.

Ummmmmm....*ponders*

Okay, so, as I already said, it's one word, and it would be a good answer to the question, "How likely is it that AxieBlast is richer/more influential/etc. than Microsoft?" On top of all that, I will add that said word is in the title of several Tom Cruise movies. :)

Impossible!

Hah, there we go...damn, that answer is stupid...and what's with the random a and the pickles bit? Talk about a way to throw people off...unless that was the point, to make you realize that sometimes you just have to discount some of the information you're given.

Well, I figured out 30: Ignore the "I am black" - I have no idea what that's referring to. Concentrate on the other clue, and think in terms of the sort of objects this puzzle has mostly been referring to so far.

Me, I'm stuck at 32 now. :p
