Super Sleuths? Created 14 years ago2010-02-16 19:47:40 UTC by Archie

Solved.
Maximum redemption.

Tentative solution submitted.

Edit: Yay. I somehow waltzed around the correct path to the solution and found it anyway?

Edit2: Yep, I have. I happened to be lucky.

I think the same thing happened to me. I think. I'm awaiting confirmation.

[Edit] Yep. Somehow missed the first ten stages.

Lol, I must be stupid because i'm clueless.

Still too easy, Huntey
Great way to waste time at work, though. Do a longer one!

Edit: oh shit, sorry Huntey I didn't think I was logged in as supersledge //potatis

^ Remove please

Solved.
That was fun.

I am utterly confused. I have no idea what is going on atall.

I'm worried people are just guessing who one of the passwords in this case belongs to. This is the problem with only being able to use new accounts (and tuna, who donated his account to science.)
You knew which ones to try it with, and thusly didn't have to do one of the trickier parts of the investigation.

here's the official walkthrough. Avoid if you haven't solved yet.

SPOILERZ

PART A
Clue 1: EVO's "HL1 map" thread. I reply in it, linking to the In the Beginning Tutorials. Click it.
Clue 2: Tuna has commented the In the Beginning tutorial linking to his recently uploaded map. Paste it.
Clue 3: Download the .zip, extract and open the .map in Hammer. It's empty. Check the .map in notepad? Oh my days, a password related to Monkey Island!

PART B
Clue 4: Evo also has a link in his Bio. It leads to a journal made by me many moons ago. The journal mentions an easy code to remember.
Clue 5: Supermatt mentions that BiscuitNinja likes Monkey Island. Connection to earlier found password is formed.
Clue 6: Logging in to BiscuitNinja's account, you find out that Billybop has the answer.

PART C
Clue 7: Supermatt, like so many before him also has a link in his bio. It leads to his very aesthetically pleasing website.
Clue 8: He mentions checking the source code. Doing so will reveal another password - Invader2003, and states that it belongs to the person with the answer.
Clue 9: Logging in to Billybops account reveals a private message from BiscuitNinja with the answer in code. Refer back to Huntey's journal.

Clever. But I seem to have skipped half of all that and found the answer anyways. And without cheating too!
Fun anyways

I manged to do part A and got lost.

Minky Island was a brotastophe.

lawl i was just pwned by the game.. =)

Heh, I did part B

You guys should join the forums here.

wink wink

Ah, did C too. Just didn't figure out A.

Oh, I get it!

EDIT: What did supersledge have to do with it?

He was involved with the first puzzle.

How the hell can the answer end with G??

Because it's a word. But you might have it mixed up with the second puzzle, the answer of which ends in an E.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~POSSIBLE SPOILER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After logging into Billybop's account, the pm in there from BiscuitNinja says the answer is in code and has a 3 letter word in the code where a=b, when deciphered, the last word does end in E, like you said, TJB. So I've done the second puzzle? I spent like 2 hours mega stressed trying to find the next clue on the S&E website.

You've done it.

wtf did the first puzzle go?! lol

I spent like 2 hours mega stressed trying to find the next clue on the S&E website.

Scotch & Ethanol?

Superb.
Couldn't possibly make another?
Or would that just take too long?
Too bad it ended so quickly.

ok ill stop.... lulz

edit: I can't believe some people took over even 20 minutes to do this :/
edit: I didn't read the 2nd page of the thread before I posted my answer btw.
