| I'm somewhat surprised that no-one has started a thread yet, so here goes... "No bigger, but harder and more satisfying that before" | |||

| Stuck already - and I'm only on question 3. I can see that this isn't going to be a very productive December... | |||

| Lucky you, I can't even do question 1... | |||

| Q1 has me stumped at the moment, too | |||

Mike said: I'm on 5 now. Where are you? same, but the site seems to running slow. I submitted what I'm sure is the right answer to 4 but the connection went dead so I can't get Q5 yet | |||
| |||

jmg said: same, but the site seems to running slow. Probably too many people trying to access it on the first day. It does seem to die every so often, but comes back fairly quickly. | |||

sat said: I'll join the people stuck on Q1 :-( I think it's roughly medium-cryptic. I just spent far too long on Q1, having first been too unoriginal and then too oblique, but have now moved on to tormenting myself with Q2. | |||

tormenting myself with Q2. ...or not, given that it's so easy. | |||
| |||

| Don't suppose anyone can give me a hint for Q9 ? (Expecting Mike and Graham to be way ahead of me by now) | |||
| |||
| by gf - Mon 1st Dec 2003, 6:03pm | |||
(Expecting Mike and Graham to be way ahead of me by now) My job and my stupidity are unfortunately hampering my progress... | |||

Mike said: Unfortunately not, as I'm stuck on it as well... Well, that's nice for you. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with 3 - I'm virtually convinced I'm on the right lines, but can't make anything out of it | |||

| re q3, the title is key :) | |||

| Still stuck on 9 ... Grrr. | |||
| |||

mjb said: Still stuck on 9 ... Grrr. The site forum was useful for this one. Probably gave too much away, but then if I wanted to do the puzzle on my own I shouldn't have been looking at the forum anyway... | |||

jmg said: I'm stuck on the pictionary one. No idea who the egyptian dude is Try the other bits of it. I worked out who the Egyptian dude was once I had the whole thing... | |||
| |||
| by mjb - Tue 2nd Dec 2003, 2:08pm | |||
| The egyptian dude is quite famous. But I still can't get past Q9. | |||
| |||

mjb said: The egyptian dude is quite famous. But I still can't get past Q9. I don't really want to post hints on here so I don't spoil it for anyone else, but if you want you can e-mail me with what you've thought of so far, and I'll see if I can help out... | |||

| Is everybody else finding that the server is crashing all the time? They must be getting an awful lot of hits! | |||

rawd2 said: Is everybody else finding that the server is crashing all the time? Yes - and just when I think I've found a new line of attack on the one I'm stuck on. It unfortunately means I have to do work to pass the time until it's working again... | |||
| |||
| by jmg - Tue 2nd Dec 2003, 4:54pm | |||
Mike said: Yes - and just when I think I've found a new line of attack on the one I'm stuck on. Which one are you on Mike? I see from the stats that someone's half way through already! | |||

jmg said: Which one are you on Mike? I see from the stats that someone's half way through already! Round 2 Question 1 at the moment. Been stuck on that for most of the afternoon, and it's not helped by the fact that the site is fooked right now... | |||

| Was doing really well on PD2, but now everyone in my lab, Dubya and Rich as well I think (unless he has had a flash of inspiration over the weekend) are all stuck on Round 2, Puzzle 13. Can anyone who has done it give us some small hint to help us? | |||
| |||
| by sat - Mon 15th Dec 2003, 2:57pm | |||
| You know when you read the PD forum and people do the 'post and then get the answer' thing? Well guess what. | |||
| |||
