Bump. But a horrible night for SGTools to be down. Right after finishing Fnord's puzzle.

Indeed platinum should always be above gold. Standard price comparisons !
PS: Bump for solving 9 of the puzzles. We should have 2 months for this instead of 1 month. Time is not enough unless all you do is puzzle solving.... :P

Yup, and with your extra puzzles in other threads, we need even more time. :P

I've decided to give at least 5 freebies where I will give you the direct link to the passcode after end of 5 puzzles to get platinum and gold achievements....
So you really only need to solve 25 of the 30 puzzles to get access to achievements... and we need some more to arrive there to get enough entries for CV anyway.
I think in the end we will post those who "completed" the event with a column of how many freebies they used... plus they deserve to get access to the additional GA rewards for their hard work in completing so much of the event.

I do like the "only 25" part. :P Like it's easy to do that haha. xD Anyway will see... I literally should be studying this month instead of doing these endless puzzles though... Such a temptation your puzzles are....

I discussed the CV problem with Imxn in the comment section and I had a suggestion for something which I will call the "Losers Bracket". The idea behind this is that those who solve all 30 puzzles have access to all gold and platinum giveaways. Then around two days before the event ends you will check which giveaways need entries and then give those who at least solved one complete category like "Life Science" the choice between all available gold/platinum giveaways. This way we could maybe motivate people to complete one category and still give them a good reward. Is it clear what I mean?
Alternatively you could also use the puzzle creators as "Losers Bracket". Just a suggestion. It is rather complicated I guess.

This is the latest I found on Gold and Platinum...

Had no idea things had changed so fast during the last year. Thanks for the report. :)

Hm, didn't know that. But I wasn't actually meaning the monetary value but the symbolic association. For example in music platinum records are over gold records. In some games (BoI) Platinum achievements is over Gold achievements. Same for trophies on the PlayStation. There are probably more examples.

All of those however were established from the era that platinum was indeed more valuable than gold. It just stayed like that cause we got used to it and just accepted it as something given. It's strange that the equation changed so much during the recent years...

Well, has to do with demand and supply I guess. I have no idea where in technology which one is used but it seems the need for platinum has decreased significantly. And it does not make much sense to change the accustomed order for those two years it was different. Have to wait for some more years since the last 5-10 years seem kind of unstable and it can change back very well again.

bump: I hope more people owning rocket league are going to finish my puzzle.. the dlc train has only 1 entry :o

Well, I won't stop you if you want to make one. But you have already done so much and wouldn't it be more efficient to let it be done by someone who has already solved the other puzzle. Faragona may be eager to do a puzzle or we do a joint adventure that everyone is sending you one or two questions and you just put them together.
This way you could actually concentrate on puzzle solving for the ones you haven't so far like Zelghadis' ^^

Listen- I'm serious-- Fragy's puzzles are fun, educational and lead to some awesome trains! Just finished puzzle 2 and it has an exceptionally nice train with so few entries! You guys need to jump in his puzzles and gain access to his trains!

Bump for countless puzzling hours, and having solved a total of 13 puzzles completely, and being stuck on one last question before passcode in one puzzle :
Geoscience- Oceanography (That barbie thing seems immensely crazy)
I don't even mention the zelghadis one. I've quitted on that one long long before... Would be more solvable if there was an extra rule or two.
PS: The more creative and fun ones till now, were definitely the Math-computer science and the Evolutionary Biology from those I tried. I also liked cognitive psychology.

Yup... I'd rather finish all other puzzles first actually...

That's weird, the "barbie" thing was really easy. I solved it in 3 minutes including all the converting of coordinates and such, and then check what creatures live there. The one that relevates to Barbie stod out immidiately. I think he's added some answers because the english name I had didn't work, so I tried the latin one, which did work, but appearently that was a new answer. So if you've tried something you think should have been correct, try again.

For everyone who has already completed my puzzle. I have added another level 3+ giveaway behind the level 4+ giveaway for a (in my opinion) really really good game. So please go there and enter if you are interested in it. It is worth your time.
For the rest: Solve the puzzle! There are a quadrillian hints.

You are definitely ahead of me, nice. xD One week extension would be so nice imo for some of us...

Are they easy/doable? I was thinking of checking them one of these days. Fragy's was such a normal/enjoyable one, for a change. xD no frustrations.
Comment has been collapsed.
Kalo's not too hard.... second part was fun and different...
(not many GA)
Sexy Budgie's had some unique GAs
puzzle was more difficult but she dropped enough hints to get it... I guess I had difficulty cuz I was searching with google without quotes on two of them that made it frustrating..

25 Platinum and 23 Gold Winners!!!
Click HERE to see the event champions!
This event is ended. If you want to provide solutions to your puzzle then post them in main thread.
Note to puzzle designers: Our goal is to get everyone through the event and try to avoid frustration. We want to see a lot of platinum and GOLD winners. Thus, have fun dropping clever hints in your GA thread and helping users that are stuck. We are all in a learning process-- we want our puzzles to be FUN, EDUCATIONAL, ENJOYABLE and promote COMRADESHIP.
com·rade·ship
ˈkämˌradˌSHip,ˈkämrədˌSHip
noun
the company and friendship of others with common aims.
"his greatest joy came from comradeship with others in the team"
Note: To solve the passcode puzzles use a copy of THIS PERIODIC TABLE. When it says Number focus on atomic numbers of elements. When it says Weight focus on atomic weight which is usually three digits after the decimal. If it says two elements added together to get a new element then add the two elements atomic numbers and get a new number--then find what is the element that has the added result. You will also need to goggle for common and scientific names of plants and animals. The first part of the passcode hint shows the format and special characters to use. (no passcodes have spaces)
Note: If you can't access the opening GA to the puzzle as you are BL then go to the ITH directly-- you will still get rewards for some GAs under each puzzle solved. (More explanation HERE if you can't see GA with puzzle because of BL.)
GO FOR THE GOLD!! (All puzzles in full event solved)
GO FOR THE PLATINUM!! (excludes Special Interest category)
