Game 3: Chasing Shadows update

By Cowpattybill

As I’ve mentioned before, the game is delayed until February.

I was doing some research recently online and came across a video clip of a foriegn made movie that had the subtitles replaced with a funnier version. I thought it quite comical. Then I discovered that this particular clip has been edited numerous times with many variations to the subtitles.

I found it so interesting in fact that I created my own version of the clip.

And a circle complete,
and let two semicircles
On a perpendicular meet;
Next add a triangle
That stands on two feet;
Next two semicircles
And a circle complete

Puzzling changes

By Cowpattybill

So the site looks a little different. I decided it was time for a change. I wanted a new look and new colors. So far the feedback has been positive. I guess people were tired of the blue and gray. I don’t know how long I will stick with the current look. I am continuing my search but for now, this is the one that stays. In the meantime, please be patient while I move things around. The layout is different and some of the links are missing (like the Clue Club). I’ll have them back shortly.

One the puzzling front, game 3 development is continuing to progress but at a very slow pace. My personal life has gotten very hectic. Hopefully soon it will slow down and allow me more time for puzzle creating.

I dropped a major sub puzzle (by that I mean something like in game one where each correct answer gave you a number that was part of a set of coordinates) which was really bogging my mind down trying to figure out how to do it. With it out of the picture it has freed me up to think bigger and as it turns out, the game will be better without it. Double bonus!

Still looking at a December release. A new teaser video should be out in a couple weeks.

LT 10: Let your fingers do the counting

By Cowpattybill

Assume there are 6 billion people on Earth. What would you estimate to be the result, if you multiply together the number of fingers on every person’s left hand? (For the purposes of this excercise, thumbs count as fingers, for a total of 5 fingers per hand.) If you cannot estimate the number, then try to guess how long the number would be.

LT 7: We’re going down!

By Cowpattybill

A normal submarine was on the surface of the sea with its hatches open. It sailed due east for two miles. Then it stopped and went down 30 feet. It then sailed another half mile before going down a further 30 feet. All this time it kept its hatches fully open. The crew survived and were not alarmed in any way. What was going on?

LT 5: Gas shortage

By Cowpattybill

During a fuel shortage, Running-On-Empty Randy drove to a gas station and waited in line behind many other motorists. A man in the familiar gas-station uniform walked over and explained to him, “We have a ten dollar limit. To speed things along we’re taking cash only, in advance.” Randy gave the man a ten dollar bill. When he reached the front of the line and pulled up to a pump, he asked for his ten dollars worth of gas. “The limit is five dollars,” replied the attendant. What happened?

LT 4: Dead Battery

By Cowpattybill

Always-Late Larry woke up, you guessed it, late. It was raining outside and although he drove as fast as he safely could he was still late for work. He hurriedly drove into the parking lot, parked, turned off the windshield wipers, jumped out of his car, slammed the door, and ran for the main entrance.
After work, he could not get the car started. The battery was dead. He checked and everything- the lights, wipers, radio, etc - was turned off and the door had been fully closed. Puzzled, he got a jump start from a co-worker, drove home and used his battery recharger to put a good charge on the battery. But despite careful testing, he never found out why the battery went dead. Can you?
