Good luck on that [the minor]. It sounds unenviable...

But wait, what's wrong with you people, only doing 1-2 majors? Why, back in MY day... :P

I do agree that more abuse might have been called for, though. How close was he to the machine? There's always the "oops-I-tripped-on-the-ball-and-flew-off-the-pads-*accidentally*-landing-full-force-on-your-rib-cage-with-both-knees" maneuver. After tonight's fiasco with all the ninja's at the Bowli...

Ahhh. Okay - you really had me going. :oops:

Interesting combination. Just out of curiosity, what does the Japanese minor entail over there? Is is a pure language minor, or do you also take asian studies courses, etc.?

She's never going to live that down, is she? 8) Seriously, yes, by all means let people know when you're going to be playing and invite them to join you... rub it in for those of us who are the only IndyDDR members in our own little burgs. :wink: Okay, I lied - that wasn't serious either. :P Welcome...

It's not that difficult to install, but if you've never been inside the system unit, it may not be immediately obvious what to do, and there are a few mechanical tricks that can help out a lot. I wonder if his kit came with any instructions. Lord knows ours didn't! :P It's pretty simple stuff for a...

Badly grounded arcade machine....hum. I'll let Ho comment further on that one. I don't see why he should bother. Two lines of that post should have convinced you there was nothing intended to make any sense. :P [Edit: okay, except for the implication that I'd be appreciative of instructions for loc...

... And for Arka, all of the mentioned machines are all in a less than one mile (or pretty damn close) radius of each other. =D Okay, so here's the plan: I look up the address for Putt-Putt, then I go door-to-door interrogating people until I've located all the major machines. The men with the whit...

According to the first page, an ordinary high school student should be able to finish these... so why does one of the challenges look like it's in binary? >_< Doesn't an ordinary high school student have knowledge of binary and hex? Ooh. Maybe that "should" is in the same spirit as "gasoline should...

You can definitely still qualify on Saturday
I guess this means those of us who qualify on Friday will not have to do so in front of MonMotha?

*sigh* If the answers require programming skills, then I'm screwed. Hell, I don't even know how this contest is supposed to work due to the lack of a first page and a first question. Google still has the original first page/question cached. http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:wQtSNMYuVEIJ:www.relpa...

well the first bit in ASCII is: URs.dO ~oP+..`..eO.db.|..'..+%.B.f+..c.Sj.X}\ now if that makes sense to anyone... let me know Egads! I must return to the homeworld at once!

yea I'm on the last level now :( so close but yet so far. Yeah - quite far, if my experience is any indication, as I've now spent more time on the last puzzle than on all the previous puzzles combined. :P If I don't get anything in the next half hour or so, I'm going to feed it to Anachronism and s...

"You only have one more extremely hard challenge left." More like impossible Doubtful. Ask any MIT Mystery Hunt vet and they'll probably have encountered at least five problems which look almost exactly like this - only the solutions are changed (to protect the innocent?). Or ask anyone who's won T...
