'You Force Heaven To Be Empty!' - Puzzle thread [Oh noez!]


Recommended Posts

OK, I'll start first, with the most ingenious puzzle I've ever seen devised in any computer game until today (really - my hat off to the designer). I'm looking for a seven-digit password containing numbers and letters. A postcard stripped with 'You Force Heaven To Be Empty' written on the back is your clue. Go.

 

Rules:

  • Don't add another question when there is more than two or three unanswered.
  • Puzzles don't have to come from computer games, but they have to be letter or number puzzles.
  • Remember, every time you Google for answers, the Panel kills a kitten.

 

Good luck, have fun!

Easy one: Three houses of a high school were to be made predominately with bricks. Each brick has a length of 10 inches and a bredth of 3 inches. The houses are 200 yards by 200 yards, and 25 yards high. The interiors floors and walls will be made using other materials. Construction happened at a pace of 33 bricks a day. Every time a thunderstorm happened, lightning hit the school, taking out 3 bricks. Thunderstorms took place every second day, but only if the number of bricks put down (not counting those lost to lightning) was an odd number. Strange weather, in other words.

 

How many bricks did it take to complete the construction of each house?

 

Don't let me down now;).

Didn't cheated and I hate chatspeak...my old eyes hurt everytime some1ne write 4u or u4 or 2b on the boards :whacked: But I've seen them used much more often than I wanted. That, the number of syllables in the sentence and the fact that I couldn't imagine that the phrase could have any secret meaning immediately pointed me to that solution :)

I had no idea what to do with the first one until I saw "Chatspeak" in Darth333's post. I figured it out pretty easily then. ;)

 

I didn't click on tk102's link, since I think it would direct me to the answer to a riddle that is similar to this one. If I remember correctly though, it only takes 3 total bricks to complete the houses - 1 for each house.

Chatspeak? :D (It's the "You For..." and "To Be" that gave me the clue)

 

I'm not totally sure about some parts though:

 

 

u4( 8? or 7?not sure about that one - I'd guess 7)2b(mt?)

 

Can also be a mnemonic. I use one to remember my pin.

Same here. I'd try everything from simple answers such as 'lucifer', to names and organizations in the game (such as 'thepanel') complicated things like assigning each letter a number (a=1, b=2, and so on) and adding the first letter of each word together. I never even though of chat/'haxxor' language. I did try to combine letters and numbers to create hybrids such as 'luc1f3r', but I never really saw that the whole word had to be in 'haxxor'.

Hey - sshhh!;)

 

 

Yesh. It takes one brick to finish the school.
