    Hmm, something to do with Twitter plus Ezone's three free games for Halloween: Scarecrow, Crazy Skeleton, & Crazy Pumpkin. I haven't figured out the magic /4/ answer though. :p

    Funny, I could have sworn I'd tried "ScarecrowCrazySkeletonCrazyPumpkin", but I don't know why I didn't get the page. Maybe I typed something wrong. :( This was an easy one.

    But congrats, jwcasser!

    Rank update!

    Congrats jwcasser! :D Sorry cloudcastles! :(

    Good teamwork though... :rolleyes: :)


    Okay... just for fun, I processed all of the data and posts on this thread to see where everyone stands (rank-wise) in the running for the Grand Prize...

    So far (taking into account who has solved the most, who has helped the most, who has tried the hardest, who has the best manners, who has accumulated the most eligibility points, who has been given the most eligibility points, who has really tried, who has dropped the most hints, who has given it their all despite chasing red herrings and going off on wild goose chases, who has finally understood the hints, who has used both sides of their brain to the fullest, who has stepped in at the last second to solve the puzzle, who has taken the wildest guesses, who has come up with the most amazing deciphering ideas, who has blown the most gaskets, who has lost the most sleep, who has shown the most devotion to deciphering, who was the fastest at solving the puzzles, who has solved the most puzzles in a row, who has spoon-fed the answer to other players, who has been spoon-fed the answer by other players, who has raced in at the last second and used the answer that someone had just provided without realising that they had just provided itÂ…etc) this is the updated top 10 list of names of who currently has the best chance of winning the grand prize of a Parrot AR. Drone (a cool hover toy!!!)

    8. Daldaris
    9. warcrack
    10.KoOne23

    Note: This list may change depending on how the rest of the contest continues... As you can see (if you look through this thread)... we've had quite a shuffle of names as we've progressed through this contest! So you never know! You've got to be in it for a chance at the Grand Prize! So get in there!

    If your name hasn't made the list - you need to try harder (you may just be in position 11)!

    Extra note: You don't need to actually solve the puzzles in order to be eligible... you may earn eligibility by just being helpful in the thread!

    Good luck everyone!

    Be on the look out for more puzzles!!

    word one/word two and word 3

    You could look at those ovals as O's or 0's. That thing in the middle looks like an A.

    I think we're supposed to look at it diagonally, judging by the quotes. So the smile part is one word, the nose part is another, and the eyes are the next word. If viewed diagonally the nose is a greater than (or less than) sign. The ovals are still O's or 0's. idk what the smile is though.

    Yeah set it to that combo and shake it. The crazy skeleton will appear and say Happy Halloween. I know I'm going to regret giving away this hint, but I've tried every combination
