Blog: Real Test Contest

[CSR_Bribbo]

This is the place to discuss the difficulty of the "Time for a Real Test" Contest.

Is this one too difficult?

Please don't tell me it was too easy :p

But do not give away any hints or clues to the answer.

If you've solved it, post how long it took.

[The-Sakura]

I think the real test is figuring out what the promo even is ^_^

[rath38]

4mins 5tops, even my mom got it in about 5mins

[miroku_]

why is no one else posting on this thread? guess no one cares about the event.....

[CSR_Bribbo]

4mins 5tops, even my mom got it in about 5mins

Haha, no way! Gah.

*Starts thinking creatively how to stump next time*

Was it really that easy for other people?

[Funkeymunkey]

Grrrr. I can't figure it out.

[The-Sakura]

NO!

I've recruited some friends, and we are STUMPED.

We're trying anagrams, codes, all sorts of weird stuff. I think we're barking up the wrong tree.

[Fre_ak]

i dont get it....lol

[eugenetwj]

Doesnt make sense... the spelling is wrong... hmm...

[eugenetwj]

Bribbo, do we already have 30 winners?

[parras]

is there still pricess, cause i think i now the word but is not working

[rasen.kao]

i think i get the code, but it dont work, the 30 pricess are redeemed already?

[bedingfield]

BRIBBO is there already 30 winners pls post asap

[The-Sakura]

9 hours bribbo.

7 of them spent sleeping, the answer was obvious in the morning. I had it, except the last letter. Ug.


And before you feel all smug Bribbo (well, you can anyways~) It was one of the first things I tried. =P I just messed up with one thing. Ignoring the mess up- a few minutes.


Oh ya. They're all gone. Try harder Bribbo =P (I've got a great idea, PM me for it- it will REALLY stump people.)

[seirayami]

Damn I cant figure it out >.<

[nicholas456]

Im pretty surer i got it but i think theres already 30 turned in.

[Fre_ak]

yeah usually when some1 get it...they tell their friends or guildmates. (well thats wat i would do) lol

[jokerinsane]

yeah,, i got it too , but they used it -.-

[achiizachiiz]

yeah,, i got it too , but they used it -.-

he didnt get it hes lieing trying to say hes good at this anyways 30slots r already turned D: so nvm xD

[holychips]

he didnt get it hes lieing trying to say hes good at this anyways 30slots r already turned D: so nvm xD

yeah ,, i guess that too xD cuz i just noticed , that its hard and tought i get it :P

[caliab]

how do you know if the code was actually correct and that the 30 were used up? The message says "this code either does not exist or is expired"

[eugenetwj]

I think if its expired means its not available anymore ie. all of it is snapped up.

Since so many of us could get it so fast, i guess it isnt that hard.

Sigh...

[caliab]

I mean is there like a special message? If I typed "egg" or something it would give the same message so how do people know they typed the right code or if its actually been used up?

[ashluhh]

yeah,, i got it too , but they used it -.-

yeah ,, i guess that too xD cuz i just noticed , that its hard and tought i get it :P

lulz.. well idrc..

[azsazs1]

are there already 30 winners i know the answer but its says its expired.

[eugenetwj]

Its already after so many days, i guess all 30 prizes are taken :(

[CSR_Bribbo]

Hey guys all the coupon codes have been used up.

The code was Neenjastar, or "NEENJASTAR" since it isn't case sensitive and it was based on the first capital letter of each sentence.

I apologize about the inconvenience of not knowing whether or not you have entered the correct code because you get the same error message no matter what. I have started the process now of correcting that so that there will be two different messages depending whether or not you have entered a correct code that has expired or you have entered a code that does not exist.

In order to get this changed, it will have to go through engineering, and they are very hardworking but busy people, so I can't give an estimate this time of when it will be changed.

For the next puzzle I will give an update of whether or not this invalid message has been changed, and if it has not been changed yet I will have our data person monitor the coupon codes closely so that I can update you guys as soon as the code has been redeemed completely. (I cannot see whether the code has been redeemed or not myself because there is a separate tool used for this).

There will be another puzzle this week, thanks for playing!

Paragraph*

Yes, they are all one sentence until the last one- if it was by sentence, they solution should be NEENJASTARSG (For the set? Go!, both of which are sentences)

Sorry Bribbo =X I hope that you'll take a stab at what I sent to you!

(To the other players, if Bribbo really takes my suggestion, it might be a full week or so before someone gets it)

[caliab]

If Bribbo takes your suggestion we'd have to trust you wouldn't use the coupons yourself or spill the beans to your friends. Just a thought.

[WinterClown]

Bribbo, it took me 30 secs to figure it out. :P Though all prizes were gone when I tried to redeem it....As usual. -.-'

Are there new ones every friday? What time?

[CSR_Bribbo]

There is a small issue with the coupon codes at the moment.

It should be fixed and there will be another puzzle this week.
