Entropy Report post Posted October 18, 2006 I visited pretty much all the people that participate in the contest, and so far everyone is on the wrong track. However, some are on a less wrong track than others, so I think it might be a good idea to share ideas. So if you want to share ideas with others, post here.

ScaryMary Report post Posted October 18, 2006 ok - i thought a subdivision of a big measurement unit (kilometre?)might be centimeters - CM - Carmien Manor, the cave. Then subdivide 324, to 162, then subdiv that to 81. Tried all available coords with those combos. No bag yet Ent these clues are ebul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legolas_big Report post Posted October 18, 2006 im sorta lost anybodies clues might help (besides radu he got me lost) lol ty all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xand Report post Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) Visited? Oh, how can we understand that? Well my idea is that 324 is x coordinate. And the y coordinate is "subdivision of a big measurement unit" y = km then ? 1000 metres? /50 = 20... thats all my sleepy brain could come up with. BIG units would be AU (astronomic unit) or the like, but even divided by 50 no real coord. Edited October 18, 2006 by xand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gurgeh Report post Posted October 18, 2006 I tried several big caves with the coords (324, max_cave_coord/n) n=integer, also (324,100*n) etc... but without luck :-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gohan Report post Posted October 18, 2006 EL works with the metric system. Cyprom said that the measurement we've got are metres. The largest subdivision are decimetres which are 10cm each. -Blee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanstenzel Report post Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) clue #1 "324*subdivision of a big measurement unit, inside the cave" clue #2 (via mod announcement) "Reguarding the contest, I decided to reveal one more thing: a step in EL is 50 CM. And no PMs subdivision could be 1/2, 1/4 or an area split in two or something like that MM is a measurement, but is small Roman numeral MM is 2000 PL->WS cave is at a 324 MM cave is at a 324 I have no idea what other caves are at 324 * might be multiply or something else...it is hard to tell * might be a type and it was supposed to be & Big units of measure: 1,024 = 1 kilobyte, 65,536=1 megabyte, 5280 feet in a mile?, 2200 or 2000 = 1 ton?, maximum 2 byte signed number = 32768 The map for the PL->WS cave is map6nf_cave.bmp....but I doubt that would be a clue even if it was the PL->WS cave. Anyone else have any big units of measure? Edited October 18, 2006 by nathanstenzel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alderan Report post Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) Me and Avernus came up with this. 324*500 50 CM is a step in EL, a millimeter is a subdivision of a CM. 500 MMs in a CM = 324*500. Found nothing so far. Edited October 18, 2006 by Alderan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted October 18, 2006 Me and Avernus came up with this. 324*500 50 CM is a step in EL, a milometer is a subdivision of a CM. 500 MMs in a CM = 324*500. Found nothing so far. I think a milometer is a device, not a measurement unit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted October 18, 2006 BTW, the number isn't really 324, it's 324.077649 I thought that I would make it simpler, since in the end 324 works as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) well, I tried 324*(steps in meter) steps into the cave, only cave I thought of big enough was Sth NC, but no bags where i checked and Ent, that's mean, you know he meant millimeter... you'll just confuse further those people living in a backwards country that uses archaic and non-standard units like yards... it's not their fault... ed: eh, too slow Edited October 18, 2006 by ttlanhil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Errrrrr.....sounds like a unit conversion to me. Anyone know what of one unit is 324.077649 of another unit? Or maybe a x50 or /50 of one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knuckles Report post Posted October 18, 2006 Anyone mind giving me the exact clues, I logged on about 2 mins ago and missed them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fullmetal_aj Report post Posted October 18, 2006 well the only cave that in the exact 324 is mm ...... weast some keys there ... nothing the 50cm thing make me think of ...... 324/50 = 6.48 .... maybe a coor for a small map ... but also nothing garg cave in ws .... not in 324.... its near it ..... i weast 1 key there ... nothing in c2 i didnt search .. dono why .... these information cost me 9~10 keys .... P.S. subdivision wth is that FMA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nidan Report post Posted October 18, 2006 Ok, you are all way off Dont you know that Ent loves his parsecs and attoparsecs? an attoparsec is a subdivision of a parsec (which is a really really big distance) 324.0... x 1 parsec = exactly 10 meters. 10 meters would be 20 steps in EL. so my guess would be that at least one of the coords is 20. now for the location: the cave should be cave1, which is Crystal Cave in DP. Unfortunately for me, there is no solid ground at 20,20 in that cave. I would suggest you guys look somewhere in other caves for those coords, because i really have to go to bed now. Did i at least win a cookie? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gohan Report post Posted October 18, 2006 This was my idea. 1 metre as measurement unit. Subdivision = decimetres. 1 decimetre = 10 centimetres. I calculated it with centimeters. 324*10 = 3240 Then divided by 50cm for 1step. 3240/50 = 64.8 You can't take like 0.8 of a step so I was figuring it would be the coords of 64, 8 somewhere. Tried inside of caves and tried to find caves, but found nothing. -Blee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayreus Report post Posted October 18, 2006 google couldn't answer all my questions... anyways i thought of 18 * 18 = 324... tried the coords 324,18 and 18,18 in a few locations... nothing... 7 keys wasted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fullmetal_aj Report post Posted October 18, 2006 P.S. subdivision wth is that There is this new cool thing on the net, called Google.

Entropy Report post Posted October 18, 2006 Did i at least win a cookie? Wow, you got it almost 70% right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knuckles Report post Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) Did i at least win a cookie? Wow, you got it almost 70% right Going by what you said, and what Nidan said, I'm guessing the first bit is right, and the cave bit is wrong.. And at a wild guess, some people say some Caves have a point at say: X,324 ? I'm intrested in seeing if this means anything too. #edit - well, I tried 324*(steps in meter) steps into the cave, only cave I thought of big enough was Sth NC, but no bags where i checked Do you have map's with the coord's, or are you guessing? And what cave are we talking about, the Top (PK Cave) Or bottom. Edited October 18, 2006 by Liquid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallosZek Report post Posted October 18, 2006 324.0... x 1 parsec = exactly 10 meters. 10 meters would be 20 steps in EL. 1 so my guess would be that at least one of the coords is 20. 2 now for the location: 3 Wow, you got it almost 70% right 2/3 = 66.67% = almost 70 => not CC Guessing 20 steps inside a cave on a map with entrance at 20,20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knuckles Report post Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) Ok I've looked at all spaces that are "accessable" to go to which are 20,20 - None of the C1 Caves (That I know of) Start or have 20 in them.. So I'm guessing it's C2 unless Ent has stated otherwise. Edited October 18, 2006 by Liquid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
