Can anyone help me with this one??!!

Which creature walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening? You might know the answer to this famous riddle but who was the first to answer it correctly?

Okay, so I am posting up a quick Hint Sheet for the magazine clues, hope others find it useful..

Spoiler

1. Google the BOLD words and you'll find a number related to the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Add the number to the page you are on.
2. Okay so the world is changing, you'll need to be Going "520-570 nanometres" way, and ultimately to the page where no one writes. Subtract the page number where you came from, from this page no.
3. The other link in the board game.. add the answer to the page number in the Going "520-570 nanometres" clue.
4. Who uses muling minus 76.
5. Add 1 Plus the page you came from in this clue.
6. d1 b2 b6 d6, it'll have to be done in the Vishvanathan Anand way.. page 106.
7. Checkpoint 2;

Edit:
I think that I know "Everything from the past, and I won't slip back"..

can u tell me whats the number??

He gave you everything you need. Even highlighted it blatantly, don't be so lazy, google it. Expecting to be spoon fed will get you nowhere in a game like CTC.

Stuck on the onwards puzzle , guys pls help a bit...

 

[mukul_rockstar]

I hope my I P address has been recorded.. but I don't think it'll be of any use, I have a dynamic modem, it changes my IP everytime I connect to the internet.. :'(

 

[aaruni]

So how many finished and reached the checkpoint with all clues solved? Logs show about 10 IPs only if this continues, those 10 will be the eventual ctc overall winners only. And we have 100 prizes to give away. C'mon guys, get with it.

I hope my I P address has been recorded.. but I don't think it'll be of any use, I have a dynamic modem, it changes my IP everytime I connect to the internet.. :'(

I hope my I P address has been recorded.. but I don't think it'll be of any use, I have a dynamic modem, it changes my IP everytime I connect to the internet.. :'(

but if you send the mail, is the IP address really important?

 

[mukul_rockstar]

Congrats! You're almost there!

It has to be in numbers. For example, if the number is 5, and the file name hi.pdf, the url would be hi5.html. The smaller number works. Good Luck!

One question for anyone - after the FOSS answer (3 words), you got another question, the answer to which was a game. (Game has circles in two colors) .Did you answer the first game or the second one? (Sequel) Both seem to work, and go on different paths. Or maybe the answer is wrong altogether.

I wanted to answer you the very moment you asked... at the FOSS question we have three answers..
X
X Part 2
and Y.
Out of which X and Y are complete loops and part 2 is the way to go..!!

it isn't that...
they'll record only who sent them emails....

 

[Bornsleepy]

Can somebody help we with the jabberwocky clue and the time stamp, been racking my brain off but can't seem to get the correct time stamp. And I can't find anything hidden in the manual Would appreciate the help

 

[mukul_rockstar]

Thank you brodas!! but I wanted to know Raaabo's opinion!

 

[BassEXE]

can I get a hint for the foss password?

 

[Raaabo]

IPs that have seen ALL clues, and not jumped to the end, yes. Not important for the prizes, or the checkpoints, but in order to play leg 4, desired emails are all that's needed, just saying not more than 10 or 15 of you have played and reached chkpt 3 the long way.

 

[aaruni]

how do you get that?

 

[mukul_rockstar]

look the above post *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/contests/...c-iv-discussion-thread-44.html#post1750355and let me tell my friends who think, that the people who are sending mails are being recorded; they have google analytics/comscore code for each and every page.. even the whoops page..

<script type="text/javascript">


   var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-3260171-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.thinkdigit.com']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
  setTimeout("_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', '15_seconds', 'read'])",15000);


  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? '*ssl' : '*www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();


</script>
		
	
		
		
<script>
  var _comscore = _comscore || [];
  _comscore.push({ c1: "2", c2: "9989804" });
  (function() {
    var s = document.createElement("script"), el = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; s.async = true;
    s.src = (document.location.protocol == "https:" ? "*sb" : "*b") + ".scorecardresearch.com/beacon.js";
    el.parentNode.insertBefore(s, el);
  })();
</script>

@Raabo: if we send the mail first, and then continue solving rest of the clues, are we still entitled for the give-aways?
