My two previous puzzles were deciphered by a few of the blog sphere’s most talented bloggers. Yay! Congrats to all of you, you know who you are. The one who will receive $100.00 is the one who first answered the two IQ puzzles correctly and satisfied the hints accordingly. I am giving more than $100.00 USD because I’m so happy of the outcome and I’m very glad that these individuals exerted effort to solve the puzzle and gave the correct explanation and answer. Even if they were not the first one to post the correct answer, they still deciphered it with their own brilliant ways.



Congratulations to Ron Del Rosario, the Mysterious Neo (because he has no blog, that’s why he’s mysterious for me, hehe), and Dexter Panganiban. I will give $10.00 as consolation prize to each of you. Just drop me an e-mail (jehzlau at dostscholars dot org) with the subject: BS2 and BS3 Puzzle Prize. Kindly include your Paypal address in your e-mail. Deadline of claiming your prize is on March 20, 2009. Congratulations to Jen Jimenez for correctly answering the two puzzles first. Technically, Ron was the first one to get the right answer, but for BS3 only. Followed by Dexter, and then Neo for BS2 and BS3 (Sadly, Neo’s answer is invalid because it didn’t follow the mechanics and his explanation was not enough to satisfy all the hints, but his answer was right). Finally, Jen gave it a shot by answering puzzles BS2 and BS3 correctly. She satisfied all the hints but was confused with the 204 and 205. For clarification, 205 is really greater than 204 based on Ron’s explanation and Neo’s. To sum it all, only Jen got all the hints and satisfied each and everyone of them. She also got the intransitive verb: To practice Witchcraft, which also means Hex.

To the winner, please e-mail me (jehzlau at dostscholars dot org) with the subject: BS2 and BS3 $100.00 USD Winner. Kindly include your Paypal account e-mail and your complete mailing address so that I can send you your Google Code Stickers! Yay!

If you’re keen enough just like Ron, Neo, Dex, and Jen, you will quickly notice that the only barrier in answering this puzzle is hex. Almost all the hints are pointing to this magic word. John Nash is the inventor of hex games, there are no hex colors in the stone age, hex is the intransitive verb which means to practice witchcraft, and a whole lot more is pertaining to the word Hex.

If you want to know more about this puzzle and how it was solved, you can read Ron’s, Neo’s, Dexter’s and Jen’s explanation about the Blue Stickman Tribes and the Five Unique Individuals.

Here are the graphical illustrations of BS2 and BS3 answers:

If you notice, H and D is the one that we are looking for because it satisfied the hint 570565 as the sum of all the hex values of the blue stickmans inside the box. There are no hints that contradicts this logical approach. With the help of Thomas Knoll, creator of Photoshop, you can easily get the hex values of the blue stickmans.

As you can see in the image above, only C, R, E, A and M has a unique left hand. The hex value of their left hand is 0738CC, while the rest had no 0738CC in their left hand. That’s what make them unique. The logical approach to get the right answer on this puzzle satisfies all the hints. If you want to read the rest of the hints, click here.

Here are the excerpts of the correct answers:








That’s all for the excerpts. If you want to have more fun why not try solving this new puzzle below. I will create a series of 5 puzzles in my next post, and this one is leaked so that you’ll have an idea about my next set of Blue Stickman puzzles. Don’t answer this one yet. If you know the answer, please reserve it for the next post. Please wait for the final mechanics, hints and tips on my next post next week.


Enjoy!
