Yeah I found it easy, but I can see how people are overanalysing it.

I was like: /:{(
But then i was like: (:{D
In all seriousness, it took me two hints and falling out of my chair to get the solution. I thought the damn squiggle WIDTH and LENGTH were code to the position of the number on the numpad :{\

The main problem I had with this one was that it spells out HIHE instead of NINE. The other pieces on the N's really should have been triangles, not dashes.

jp-30 · 07/01/2010, 10:30 pm

My favourite so far too - I used up all my hints to get there. And even with the final hint it still took me a while to get it.

Now of course I can't see anything else but the solution when I look at it.

Symbermine · 07/01/2010, 11:12 pm

I have spent two hints too, but that´s the great of this puzzle. The solution it was so obvious that you begin to over-analyze it.

I found it mid-way. At first I thought it was two numbers being made, then I realised it spelt a word(after a hint).

Yeah, they looked a lot more like Hs than Ns. I couldn't first picture the I and E at all, so all I saw was H H or N N. Since there's no number that spells H as first character, it must've been N N. That led me to Nine Nine, 99.

Satans_Ferryman · 07/02/2010, 02:44 pm

I think this is a terrible puzzle... they look like H's

julian · 07/03/2010, 12:20 am

This is the only puzzle for which I got a 1 score because of severe over-analyzing.

First I tried to interpret the long and short lines as binary code which didn't work. After using two hints I tried the same thing with the spaces in between.

Even when it dawned on me that it could be letters, I didn't get it the solution because I too read HIHE and interpreted the letters as numbers and added them up...

Toast_Burner · 07/03/2010, 01:57 am

I found it very easy. probably the easiest in the game

Zee_pso · 07/03/2010, 10:33 am

I also had trouble, I figured what to do, (after thinking about over complicated stuff) but the Ns look too much like Hs. so I had trouble getting it, even after I found the way to solve it.

henke37 · 07/09/2010, 10:08 am

I have to admit that I didn't get it at first (yup, tried binary), but with some hints I got it. It is a good puzzle.

As for the complaint about the squigies not being triangles, I thought that they looked like triangles. It's hard to tell the difference, but they are triangular.

Ayiko · 07/10/2010, 07:14 am

Yup, I didn't find it either, not without a hint on this board about it being a word.

The red outline in the hint told me it was a Z or a 2. So that gives 22 + something below (11?) Nothing useful in any way

It's the only puzzle that had me completely stumped with no way to get any further except for browsing this board.

Clord · 07/13/2010, 03:05 am

When I did read it... It was "HIHE" so I ignored that and thought that maybe it is "88" as there is 8 and two strokes showing count of them.

Then I thought it was submit count what I was intended to type so I typed "9" when it would be 9th submission attempt.

Basically it was one of few puzzles I didn't fail because of too vague rules.

I guess if you see it, it's easy...

I had more trouble with this than any of the earlier puzzles, but I managed without a hint. Maybe the most confusing thing, to me, was that you can enter two digits on the keypad, so I was looking for a two-digit answer.

I looked at this puzzle for a long time and I finally resorted to looking online to get the answer. The hints had me convinced the answer was twenty...

If you look at the first section it appears to be an X, the pattern then repeats followed by an = sign.
So you have X X which in Roman Numerals is 20.

In addition to support the 20 theory there was:
line, dot, dot, line
line, dot, dot, line
and then an equals sign so I figured Morse Code. I looked up line, dot, dot, line in Morse Code and guess what? The letter X.

I thought the game had a glitch but it turns out: way too much thinking.

If you think that one's hard, try the Monkey Island 2 Hand puzzle.
I just figured it out yesterday, and I've been playing the game for about 13 years.
Just waited for a lucky strike the other playthroughs...

I actualy found this very easy. What is funny was my friend showed this to me on his Ipod touch saying it is the hardest one and I got it immediatly.

GeorgeC · 12/07/2010, 12:25 am

The fun part was over analysing it, I was expecting a room like 105 or 236, something big. So I kept looking at all the dashes and studying their positions relative to everything else, when really the answer sticks out like a sore thumb: nine
Was strangely entertaining
