Dumb: The Game

For #47,

Look at the background. Does it look very familiar? Kinda like the poster of a pretty popular movie? If you can't, nevermind. But if you do, the answer is pretty obious from there. Else, google for the crests. Describe the crests in google and you'll find something. Next, what does the numbers look like? Numbers are numbers and? Put them together and you'll know what you need.

can't seem to solve nº 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!! H E L P!

For #4:

First, you have to figure out what the three "neighbors" are. Each one has two words in their name, but they all share the second, which is the answer. It's a weather phenomena that rhymes with send.

And I'm stuck again. Has anyone else here solved This One is Bacon, Side of Bacon, or Traditions?

I have solved side of bacon. Here are my hints:

notice there is odd capitalization in that quote
"side of bacon" refers to a famous bacon who made a cool cipher
Once you decode the message, imdb should get you the answer.

Thank you!

Just solved #55, Traditions.

All of the objects have a particular tradition in common.

Each is assigned a number in that particular tradition. (And note that there are two sets in this tradition, but all objects belong to the same set for this puzzle). Fill in the appropriate numbers, then do the math. Google the answer, and it will be obvious which result fits the puzzle.

I need help with #25 "What's in a name?"

So far:

Thanks to the hints on the Hamumu forums, I right-clicked on the image and got that the name of the image is "doofy" and that the image is 351 by 269 pixels. I also got the idea that the solution is the word "doofy" typed in with your hands incorrectly placed on the keyboard. I thought perhaps the pixels meant that I am supposed to shift my hands one space up/down and one space left/right... but none of the combinations I've tried have worked... Help?

Need help for 51 and 54

For 51,

I am pretty clueless as to what "dialect" it is. First thing that comes to my mind is shakespear but I don't see how it can fit. And with google, It says there's the TH cree language or something. I'm lost! HELP!

I know the song. But I get 1960. Does it have anything to do with the portland penny by the way?

I haven't solved #51 yet either, but I'm quite sure of this hint. Also, any help on #9 would be appreciated.

Hint for #51

Try a form of "Latin".

Imagine you walked into that store and bought what you wanted. How much cash would leave your hand?

For #25,

You're somewhat on the right track, but I think you're missing a step. Is "doofy" the entire name you're getting for the image? Because it really shouldn't be.

You're actually looking for a url in the file name. Go to that url, and you'll get another clue that will tell you what you're trying to type.

No, it's not the Portland penny. :) That Oregon clue threw me off, too. I'm not sure if you live in the States, but in most places in the United States, when you go into a store to buy something, the final price you pay at the register isn't the amount marked on the price tag. There's something added to it. Search for the percentage charged in the town named in the puzzle and add that to the 1960.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with pig latin (with the "th" as the "ay") and then a further encryption, but I can't manage to break the code.

I solved 51!

For 51, you are on the right track! However, there exists another rule in the STANDARD code. It has something to do with w. No, it's not a "dialect". And the solving takes a bit of time. A crossword solver is of great help. =) This puzzle is a good one. You get bacon, sadistically speaking. It's quite a gross title...

Isn't it 7.25% for California? I tried. But it just doesn't work!

Thanks Trix!

Argh! I hate to do this! But I've solved 54

One more left... Multipuzz.

I have solved till...D A- Dallas B- Cowboys C- Indians D- New Delhi And I'm stuck. Festival??! There are sooooo many!

Hi everybody...I, too, am stuck on #25, What's In A Name. I have gotten to the text and have looked the page up and down, but alas, nothing is jumping out at me. I will gladly trade hints for another puzzle if anyone is willing to help. Thanks.

For 25

The page that you are talking about. Does it have weird characters? If it does.Try to type it out. However, shift your hands one square to the left. If the page doesn't have weird characters, you've probably not found it yet.

Gosh... Why am I always doing this?!?!?!

But whatever, I've solve all ^^

For those who are stuck at number 54,

Do not do it in chornological order. Do LMN and you'll get the answer. There is only one set of answers that can apply for LMN. The answer is quite funny actually. Wonder how that rule came into place.

OK, I am new to the message board but not new to this site by any stretch of the imagination. :) I have solved all the puzzles (through #55) except #9 and #39 and try as I might I cannot make any headway on those two whatsoever. I have done the math on #39 (Jungle Sounds) but my result makes no sense to me whatsoever...nor does Google seem to recognize it. As for #9, well...even the clues on Hamumu are proving impossible for me to comprehend. :-S

I have been at this for about 2 months (I think) so I am pretty much at the end of my rope with these two puzzles. Any help at all? Thanks!

For #39

You are over thinking. Do not think so deep. It has nothing to do with differentiation whatsoever. It is primary school (aka grade) math. I believe any 10 year old should be able to do the math. Just slash your way out. The answer is pretty dumb. It's not a VERY well set puzzle. Then again, most of the answers for Dumb the Game are... well, dumb.

I don't know how to do it the orthordox way. I just guessed from the background. Got it at the first guest. Think kiddy. It's seriously just plain guessing. But then again, that's not the way it should be solved... But whatever, I don't know how to solve it that way. xD Anyone can hint how to solve it the supposed way?

Hi everybody...I hate to do this, but I need a nudge on "Bad Book". I've tried to decipher the text to figure out the quote, but I must be going about it the wrong way. Any nudges to get me started to get the quote to do the layers of more puzzling I need to get this finished would be great. Thanks.

Look at Trix's hint. It helped me a lot. If you still cannot get it,

After you minus all the stuff, re-allocate the numbers to letters again. a=1, b=2. And allocate another set for the negative numbers ;)

Minus what stuff??? I have referred to Trix's hint and am still lost here at how to get the quote. Boy, do I feel dumb. But I guess that is the objective here. Man, I solved Blacker Box, and just can't seem to get over this one. I'm not sure how to do this. It doesn't seem liek any standard cipher I remember seeing here.

#49

I have a phrase, and I have Googled FOREVER, and I cannot find the answer.

There must be one website on the entire Internet that has this answer!!!

#022 Need a Pen, Pal?

I dont understand what to look for to find the anwser, can some1 just post the answer for #022

For 49,

You only have to google the name. And vessel. You will find that everything comes full circle. The answer is right there. You might not realise it though.

If you read trix hint, you should know. Quote trix:You're on the right track in figuring out numeric values for each letter, but you need to subtract instead of divide. Eg: n-a=14-1=13=m. A hint: it DOES matter which letter has the highest numeric value. I mean, "n-a" is NOT the same as "a-n".

...... Then what's the point of playing? It's the pig pen cipher. Go decode it. Only the last line is needed to find the answer. And it's very simple. Do not try to find it's name. It's a thing.

Any pointers on #33, "On the House"?

I've looked up the drinks on webtender, but the result I'm getting isn't helpful; it's just two ingredients that make a drink, and that drink doesn't give me any leads to the answer.

#33,

It should. Wiki the drink. It is a person's name as well.
Else, you've got the wrong ingredients.

Um....thanks, I guess? :-/

For Jungle Sounds:

I have got the equation down to "rs/(3)". That's where my trail ends. Not sure how I am "overthinking" it, but there you go. Anyone know what to do from there? It's been a long time since I was 10 years old, although I think I might see some hints in Zhey's response - between the lines.

I have no idea what the background is and even if I did, I would rather at least TRY to work it out without simply guessing. If you just guess the answer then "what's the point in playing?" ;) Anyone solve this one the "long" way that can give some kind of push? :)

Hints for #9 (uncoordinated):

First you need to convert each number into another number using pi. What is significant about pi? Try googling pi if you're stuck. Once you've got them converted, do what you would normally do with coordinate pairs.

rs/3 is correct. This is a geometric formula for a specific 3-dimensional shape. I don't think a 10-year-old would know it, but it isn't too hard. Think about what r and s could mean in 3 dimensional geometry.

If you look back at the puzzle, the shape it refers to should be obvious.

p*** e*******

For #33

Then I think you've got the wrong drink. That site might not be the best. try http://www.1001cocktails.com/recipes/
It's much more reliable and you'll get the answer. Just remember that it's Gin Gin not Gin.
You should get this name: s****** t*****

Well, thanks, MadDog72. I finally did get the Jungle Sounds one, and I have to say it took a shot in the dark to get the final word. However, because of what you said in your post, I was at least able to go back and figure out why the answer was what it was. Your nudge was exactly what I needed.

However...for #9 (uncoordinated):

I have tried - and a long time ago - the only thing I can think of w.r.t. pi - "mapping" the co-ordinates of the puzzle to the decimal places of pi. In this instance, I get 33=2 (2 being the 33rd decimal place of pi). I haven't been able to make any leap from there, though, no matter how I plot the new co-ordinates...so it makes me wonder if that was the right thing to do in the first place? If I know I've done that much right, I will plug away some more. If not...please give me a slap. ;) Oh, and perhaps a "redirect". Thanks.

Upon further review....never mind. Solved it. :) Thanks for the help!

Wow - finally (and I do mean finally) solved every puzzle. :-S After the two I was stuck on for months, I had to knock off the two new ones this weekend. Nice feeling...but now I may have to go outside and I'm scared. ;)

Once again, thanks for the help on the two dastardly puzzles.

...um... i dunno if anyone still comes here, but can i have the name of the car company for "which white?" I have a blocker on my compy so i can't just image search it. thx!

For Which White:

To be quite Acurate, it took me a while to realize it was an A instead of an H.

does someone know how to get the answer to 46: Southern Routes? I'm completely stumped.

need help with #56 puzzle mix

#46,

You should know your roots, you know. If you don't, then leave it. If you do, then find the root.

Add W-A-T-E-R and stir! Look, everthing is mixed up in the right way now.

Can get another hint for #51 "This one is Bacon"

Here is what I got so far

I get the original language. But I don't know if I'm translating the language correctly because I'm translating it into a cipher. Then I'm not sure on where to start deciphering the cipher, other than the fact that its a letter substitution.
Oh yeah, and after I translate the first part is there a way of telling whether I did it correctly or not? Because if I do it wrong and then start working on the cipher, how am I supposed to know that I'm not trying to decipher the entirely wrong chunk of code.
I must be missing a very vital hint.

Help with #15

for #56, puzzle mix, here's a spoiler

Add water so "w" with the first, "a" with the second, "t" with the third and so no. You might want to use an anagram server. Here's a URL: http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram
You might need to search up the answer on google.

I'm stuck on 3, i've looked up the colors of that car in 1997 and i just cant find the answer

i've figured out the code for #22- but i still can't get the answer... and clues anyone?
i got:

kotetsu's world record. first america's cup. what did teddy ride?

i'm still stuck on #22- i figured out the code... at least i think so:

kotetsu's world record. first america's cup. what did teddy ride?

I've solved all except for "Tall and Boney"

I've got the word in the boxes for #31. I assume it is longitude and latitude, but I can't seem to get a place other than San Severo

I solved #31.

I was right with my first guess; however instead of four numbers, only two are important in the list. The two that are important and the correct order are found when you solve the colored boxes.

#13 Arizona Love

I have found where you guys are talking about. I am looking at it and reading it, However all the answers I put in aren't working. What am I missing???

For #25, What's In A Name, I've found what I'm supposed to be looking for, but it doesn't work. Could someone please confirm that what we're looking for is still valid or am I wasting my time?

I'm also struggling with #14. I know the code and have tried several ways of using it. It would help to know whether I should be getting one letter for each group of letters or maybe just one letter per line - that might help me to work out what I should be looking for.

Also having problems with #55 Traditions. I've found the traditional things, done my sums but don't know what to do with the result. I'm pretty sure I have the right numbers (apart from number 4, but I've got that down to a shortlist of a possible two, neither of which give me a workable result).

how do u beat #22

Also how do u beat #48?

a hint to #24 is all 3 clues happened on the same week but a diffrent year

what do you even do on #19 chess mess

Heres a tip for #19

Meh... I think I'll just post the full set of spoilers here.. If you still don't understand some parts of it, feel free to email me.

1. Colourbars : Just rearrange according to the colours. It's very simple
2. Fourways: Google for the private first class. And look at your keyboard. The answer is there.
3. Which White: Carbrand called Acura. It's kinda rare here, I thought. Not very good puzzle. And differentiation and.....? That's the other symbol. Last one is a year. Google.
4. By Any Other Name: Blow Blow Blow
5. Cucking Wood: Just try all...=.=
6. Primary Location: Google the numbers. Remember, PRIMary locations. Googlemaps is a useful tool after that.
7. Counted Blocks: Just play it. It's fun
8. Jumbling Act: Anagram solvers do the trick
9. Uncoordinated: Just guess using the background. It's much simpler than solving it the correct way.
10. Play This Thing: To decrypt or not to decrypt, that is the question.
11. Got Your Number: Search for famous numbers in _____. Who's calling. Not calling who.
12. Future History: Groening
13. Arizona Love: Google maps
14. More Codes: .-----..-..-.-.-.------?
15. Black Box: Paint is your friend.
16. White Noise: If you are not passive, you are?
17. Sadly Similar: Add something before the words. And remember, the word is sad.
18. Type it: Yes, just type it. TYPE.
19. Chess Mess: No, it is not a barn. It is just what it is. Do not overthink it.
20. Not in so many words: Or should I say, not in SO MANY words. Think frequency. 10 is a good benchmark I think.
21. Puzzle boxes: Google is your best friend. You can guess most of them. and 83% is a B. Not an A.
22. Need a pen, pal?: Pig pen cipher.
23. Sliders: Just slide and read.
24. Know what I mean?: Equine = horse. And learn the googling technique of *. Like "My * horse" blah blah blah. Grrrrrr. I'm cold!
25. What's in a name?: Look inside. The picture. Source code.
26. Bits and Pieces: No, not the jewellery. Do not bother doing it. Just guess. It's much faster.
27. Hollywood Chat: Look at the background. It is a picture of a? And the solution for the top part is C.
28. Apologies: I don't know why it's called that. But a good place to start is Wikipedia. Yangzhedology! Woot. The study of the oh-so-great-person-who-solved-every-single-dumb-puzzle. =)
29. Roundabout: Print it out and a protracter is a good tool
30. Skater Math: Brute force is the way to go for this one since I don't know what extra rule there is.
31. Tall and Boney: (something, something) It is obvious. But smoking is bad for you.
32. Tangled Web: Just follow those messy tangled stuff to get two words. Who invented it?
33. On The House: Fun. Thanks to Nicole for helping me solve this one. Go wiki screwdriver(disambiguition)
34. Free Parking: Woot monopoly. It's a Single Player game. Track the places you land on. Don't land and go.
35. Crossed Words: FUN! I love it. Yes, it is just a crossword. It's very very very fun. Crossword solvers all the way!
36. Negative Greetings: Ah.. Tilt it nice. Yes, that's it.
37. Thugs and Brutes: Mila and Sneha to the rescue! Vanakaam. However you spell it xD
38. Ask He who knows: Asc he who knows. Or asc ii who knows.
39. Jungle sounds: No, it's primary school math. No differentiation included. Just slash your way out of this puzzle.
40. Blacker Box: This one is (hard). It is not difficult. It's very simple if you know what to do. xD I guess I was lucky. Will go through this one at the bottom.
41. Go fourth and...: Complete the quote. Take our your calculator and stop being BOOBLESS! (55378008)
42. Blue Shift: Yes, just shift the blue all the way up. It's an elemental game.
43. Baka Na Neko: This one is a bit... Far fetched. I don't like this puzzle. But whatever. Think Konami.
44. Old-Timey Music: Abe? Abe? Simpsons.
45. Easier Said Than Done: Say it out. And yes, the only people killed are the presidents. How sadly true.
46. Southern Routes: Southern Squares would do the trick too. Wait, no. You'll get gibberish then.
47. Dependency: IMDB is very useful. Just IMDB the title. There are tons of results, I know. But think, can it be sexual dependency...? nu.
48. Dollemma: ga ga goo goo
49. The Bad Book: Ah, my favorite of alllll times. Will go through it later.
50. Six Directions: This is another dumb one. I really do not like directors.
51. This one is Bacon: Gross. Gross. Will go through it later.
52. Side of Bacon: Baconian cipher
53. Multipuzz: Do LMN only. There is only ONE set of answers that can fit. Google after that.
54. How Much?: Wag wag wag. 5% for Singapore!
55. Traditions: Just google the things together. The first three. It's easier. You'll get something. I don't call it a tradition, but whatever. It's a nice one. And I want my future husband to get it for me too. It's HUGE.
For the 3 "hardest" ones (I seriously don't consider blacker box hard. I think stuff like side of bacon is harder than that.)
Blacker Box:
1. Get GIMP. Without it, you're thoroughly dead.
2. Open the Image there: Open up all the dialogs. 000000 should be the only one. How come there are more?
3. I love the Weasley twins!
4. Hex to Dec
5. a=1, b=2 so on.
6. Google.
7. Answer is a number. No do not brute force, you'll take a year.
The Bad Book:
1. Find out the real quote. Should not be a problem.
2. Compare the real quote with the crypted one. You will realise that it is not a monoalphabet cipher.
3. Excel to the rescue. Paste the stuff there.
4. Minus.
5. No, the positive and the negative are not the same.
6. Google. Once you realise that this is indeed a very very very well set puzzle, you're not far away from the answer.
7. Brothers.
This One Is Bacon:
GROSS.
1. It's Pig Latin. You must know this in order to do the rest.
2. There is more than one rule for Pig Latin. Find the other one. Way to go!
3. Decrypt. No decrypter can help you. you're on your own. Have fun. I spent 2 hours. =)
4. The last word is the trick in solving the whole thing.
5. Characters.
6. You really get bacon.
Anybody fancy having little piggy bacon for lunch?

I should amscray.

Have fun!
