Heh heh...Grim, that puzzle you listed with a box in it was my question X3

Anywho, yeah, I haven't found anymore yet

Tbone; I checked the last user before I went to bed last night, it was ID 119.
I'm sure that a few of these are you guys testing. I've seen a few accounts where they haven't gone anywhere yet - either a bug, or... they registered and didn't log in.

Anyway, watching the list

-EDIT-
Ah, they are logging in, they just don't know what to search for.
Path, 1 - Potentials, 0.

Also,

The blupills are going crazy!
PM hell for me right now, there are a couple of people online now doing the path trying to get PM help. Dang.

The servers were down. So I finished the challenge.

Got an access code (which needs to be highlighted a little - I mean the final answer is teeny gray text? C'mon! But I digress...) Anywho. Got this code and was going to write something silly in the potential site.

Which I would have done... except... Incorrect Access Code!

Yeah. So. Anyway. There's that. Then I went and looked at the access code again just for fun and there are O's and 0's in it and the font is not conducive to telling the difference. In fact, that font even has bad differentiation between Y's and V's. So how about the access code generator gets redone? No 1's no L's no I's no V's no 0's no O's no Y's and generally no other letters that resemble each other (or any other characters) in that font (or in any other font). While I am a cut and paste kind of person, there's a lot of folks who would rather scribble. Word. And yeah I know that is really in Kosila's ballpark.

First, just to let everyone know we now have more than 1000 registered users. Although some are "multi" accounts, this is a great achievement. Roughly 700 accounts have at least been to the first question, and we now have a few people at the very end.

Ratio, thanks for the feedback - this access code part has been recently added. The incorrect Access Code should be fixed shortly. We decided to keep the access code as another part of the challenge, rather than just go to the signup page automatically.

The access codes are actually being generated on the PHP side, once you complete the last question.
I'll update the flash so that it can be easily read, I will either make sure letters are distinguishable, or change so they don't appear as you suggest.

Are you the first to officially complete the new challenge?

i think i'm actually at that stage as well, but i can't tell, the text on the door is too hard to read

Ketamininja · « **Reply #36 on:** March 25, 2005, 10:12:16 am »

copy paste!

UPDATE:
Access codes now working perfectly.
Everything is running as it should now, still to update Ratios requests.

I'm seeing an error or maybe not. The spelling on the Thor's hammer question

MjÃ¶llnir is how 99% of literary works spell the hammer's name however,

I had to type it in like this MjÃ¶lnir for it to work. I ended up finding that second spelling on some obscure website.

I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but I wanted to bring it up.
