The Final Answer to Everything is the rather ominous and foreboding title to a mysterious game that popped up just a few days ago. Tag this one under "riddle" as it is an HTML-based puzzle game for which answers to on-screen riddles are entered as URLs into the address bar of your browser to advance.
But time is ticking. The game keeps track of your progress and allows "between responses, no more days than three." However, even though three days equals 72 hours, when guessing the answer to one riddle incorrectly I was informed that I had just a little over 33 hours to input a correct answer. I guess that means you shouldn't take anything at face value in this game.
So, put your collective heads together and crack this thing. Will we find that the final answer is really 42? Whatever it is, it's already been copyrighted: The final answer is ©1954-2006 Holders Of The True Answer. Click.
Cheers to Dude999 for the link to this one. =)

i'm stuck on the very first level.

To the first puzzle...
Posted by: Jonathan Hartman | July 26, 2006 3:28 AM
Eh, the problem with this game is it doesn't give us THE question. I mean, "what is 6*7" just doesn't quite cut it for me, at least. I want something a little more deep and philosophical. Perhaps the question is more along the line of how many dimension there are, divided by the number of days we have been on earth, multiplied by the total amount of energy in the universe, minus the number of fingers on god's (or the gods[or the atheist's) hand(s). But no Deep Thought will tell us this. Deep Research. I am building it now!!!! But I need your help.
Thank you. Golden monkey out.
In another, completely unrelated update, WoW (World of Warcraft) is coming tomorrow, so I may never see the light of day again. Or I may see it much more often. And it better be the Universal Binary version or there will be HELL to pay. But Newegg has not failed me yet, so I have faith. Well, in Newegg anyway.
Also, jay, if you actually read this far email? Did you get it? I think I need to give up on this...
Hmmm... what else to say.
What is up with the new look of jayisgames? Is it just my friend and my computers? The green is not as nice as the purple. And I can't seem to change it back.
Sorry for whatever spelling errors there may be in this long and completely irrelevant post. And, while we are on apologies, sorry for this post!

Erm.. the color themes are normally changed by clicking one of the 5 boxed "j"s on the left side of the website.

You can allways cheat and start all over again. This comes handy for example after a break:

If anybody is majorly stuck, then there is a list of answers at http://seekingtheanswer.blogspot.com/, and a long discussion at http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread217854/pg1
The game appears to have stopped at level 31 due to not enough refering sites, but whether that's just a puzzle waiting to be cracked is anyones guess

Also you can ask the game questions using /q_[question].html for several prewritten responses. Try /q_who.html and /q_why.html for starters

Hey, Imok: On the left hand side bar, there should be a "stylesheet switcher". Click in the different "J"s, and switch styles!

It's gone past #31 now! O.o

This link is broken, somehow:
Anyone else have that problem? It is the 5th or 6th one, and a showstopper for me...

Slippy, the answer to that one is

This is a rather moronic game -- while the number puzzles and word games and such are interesting, because they have the potential to be figured out by anyone, once the Timetravel_0 thing came along and I started reading up on the answer
Posted by: J-C | July 26, 2006 2:51 PM
That's a shame to hear, for up to that point it was looking as if it was very nicely done. Maybe then it's not surprising I got stuck at the time travel riddle.
Maybe not for the casual gamer then, but I believe there will be many that will enjoy it just the same. =)

Found a clue list:

Current question is "To drink"
Posted by: Drgamer | July 26, 2006 3:23 PM
Thanks for putting this on your site, jay. For me, it's a very fascinating example what people can achieve if they collaborate (by using the information thousands of other people collected on millions of web sites) :)
It's interesting to have a look at the forum/blog sites theholythom posted.
And if you are stuck, try this one:

Now it says "Between responses, no more days than 1.4." Much more difficult.

I can't help but think the "prize" is going to turn out to be some kind of computer virus or sumthing.
Posted by: bear_whisperer | July 26, 2006 9:15 PM
it says "no more days than 1.4" on mine, between responses, or whatever.

Dissapointing as the game looked weird interesting.

Game is over.
A winner has just been declared...
He has won the domain, so you might not be able to play the puzzle very long...
Anyway, it was fun, but terribly hard...
Posted by: felix | July 27, 2006 2:13 PM
42 is the final and ultimate answer
Posted by: MANAX | July 27, 2006 3:11 PM
The final answer to everything (as given after answering the 40th question):
LISTEN
Listen to each other.
Understand each other.
Know the desires, hopes, needs, wants, and fears of each other.
Listen.
