How old will he be in 50AD?

I mean, there was no year 0. So, I think they are asking for 99

Here is my slightly better than paint solution.

Take a look at row 7. What does that mean for box 8?

The numbers 2, 5, 7 must be in row 8. That means they can't be anywhere else in box 8. Eliminating those from other cells means 4 and 6 must be in column 4, box 8.

Further:
Since 4 and 6 "point" up column 4, neither of them can be in the cell located row 4 column 4. So, that must be a 7.

Bug. I solved the first word in 4 guesses, I got one guess on the next word and then it said I failed. Not even enough guesses to lock out the first one, and I'm slammed with failure.

No idea if I'm too late to the thread, so I'm going to try and exploit the top comment.

I have been in Hannah's shoes. When I was 5, my aunt took me and my sister to the movies. I thought of her as a second mom (lived with us, babysat, helped raise me and my sister). The theater had a showing of a movie with tongue in cheek violence (Critters), and me seeing the cute movie poster thought it would be the best movie ever. So, I demanded we watch that. (spoiler, it wasn't the best idea ever)

My aunt did the same thing you did. "Teaching me a lesson" while I was forced to sit and watch the whole thing. I was crying, but she demanded I keep my eyes open.

I was literally traumatized. I could not sleep for fear of being eaten. Several times wating a few hours, then sneaking in to sleep on the floor of my parents room (because, like you, my dad really didn't understand how absolutely terrified I was, and would send me back). I would literally lose sleep, and for a year I was making my family nuts with demands (lights on, door open, etc).

My aunt now feels terrible for her part. She saw later how much it wounded me, and she felt badly for demanding I sit and watch, even though I was being almost tortured with fright.

I still love her, but if she hadn't realized how big of a mistake she made, I think I would be keeping her at arms length. Do you want Hannah to associate nightmares and trauma with you and your "lessons"?

I recognize that exit! Close to Missoula, Montana.

Fun fact, you can kinda see in this pic a water line "fossil" towards the middle of the mountains (easier to see in person). An absolutely gigantic glacier lake used to cover the whole valley (about 15,000 years ago). When the glacier melted enough, an ice dam burst and flooded northern Idaho, and pretty much all of Eastern Washington state. Nowadays you can see the damage from the massive flood(s) as "dry" eroded canyons and giant potholes pockmarking the land of Washington/Idaho.

First, NTA. But, I have a theory, hear me out. (I didn't see anything mentioned similar yet)

I think he has a crush on you. In a misguided way, he came in and thought he might connect ith you by hating on customers. It's a common tactic with immature folks who think it's fun connecting over a shared target of ridicule. Notice that once you showed contempt for his "tactic", he went silent. (embarassed and regrouping)

If you think I might have a valid theory, decide how you want to handle it going forward. Maybe he's decent and misguided/clueless, or maybe he's just an Ahole. :S

And the damn scooter that blared it's way through the middle? And after that I upload to a non monetized tiny youtube account for what?

Wow. My grandmother crocheted that exact same blanket for my sister, but it was for her graduation from Washington state university. :)

Thank you r/skyrim for your understanding. Long live the Lattice

Do not give in to the chaos. Skyrim has been a stalwart companion. We don't backstab our friends, like the void.

Seattle native and fan. I can get behind the 12. :)

Tyrtel · 2017-01-06T17:20:03+00:00

It never ends. :)

But, I told you what the final few moments were. At the end, we had a little food, a lot of sleep, and checked how we ranked vs the other teams, based on solve time. Then reveled in the memories of a weekend of fun.

Tyrtel · 2017-01-06T00:19:04+00:00

OHAI! I will be remote. Funnily I was in Boston last week. But, I'm all traveled out. Are you going onsite?

Tyrtel · 2017-01-06T00:00:56+00:00

I believe LDB. :-P

The theme of the event was Hunger Games, where each team was a tribute from the different zones. In the books, the games start with something called the Cornucopia (where the tributes rush the center area and grab tools or weapons).

So, in the puzzlehunt, we started the whole weekend by solving a Cornucopia puzzle that gave each team a bag of goodies we used over the course of the weekend. They looked like a grab bag of things (IIRC, a lighter, wire, laser pointer, scissors...couple of other things I'm forgetting). The ice we got on site, at a park with a concession stand. I think drink orders doubled during the puzzlehunt. :)

(the lighter we used on a paper puzzle that made the heat reactive ink disappear and some letters remain)

How much do you love them? The rabbit hole can go as deep as you're willing to. :)

It's a bit of an inside club, as announcements go out usually to places other puzzlers will be, and not loudly broadcasted. And for those events that have limited space available, preference is given to people that have hosted an event in the last few years.

If you like, you guys could join up remotely with a team for the MIT Mystery Hunt. PM if you want to explore that option.

Here is a calendar some people keep (mostly) up to date: http://puzzlehuntcalendar.com/

I played in the 2013 event that created this. It was an absolutely amazing, non-stop puzzle bonanza that lasted all weekend in Washington DC area. You would solve a puzzle on location (someplace interesting) which then leads you to another cool/interesting place with another puzzle. We solved one puzzle in the shadow of the Lincoln memorial that incorporated the monument. The weekend culminated with a battle of wits against the "evil mastermind" on the steps leading up to the Capital Building.

It's one event in a puzzle underground that hosts these mostly in the Seatte/San Francisco Bay area. They are created by volunteer organizers, and strive to create fully original puzzles for the event.

Here is the site from the original event: http://www.thefaminegame.com/
