the great puzzle game

[+Guest]

welcome all to the great puzzle game!

this is the game where you have to think outside the box to get the answer to the questions i give and this will follow a point scheme where you can have a go trying to be the best puzzle solver on ST which will feature at the bottom of this post, there maybe multiple points given depending on the question

 

here is an example: someone entered a field and died, how? you can try and answer this, after a few incorrect answers i may give a clue such as: which way did the person enter through the field? to help you get the answer, but if someone got it right, they'll get a point (there maybe more than one point depending on the answer, so someone could get all points or 2 or more could share each point between them), of course, the answer of that question is that he came from the sky (parachute broke)

 

you may ask a question such as (using the example above): was the person carrying a bag? and i'll reply either yes or no to help you guide to the answer

 

the 2 post rule is still included in this game

 

if you see me in chat, feel free to ask me there

was he in a feild?

[Hordijk 18]

was he carrying any self hurting items??....

[MrVegetable 2]

Was he running away from someone?

[Bach2Baroque 168]

Was he walking along the backalley?

[+Guest]

Rymac91 that's two no's from me i'm afraid, he wasn't in a filed and he isn't religious

Hordijk yes and no, he did do something to himself with a lethal weapon, but he wasn't carrying it

MrVegetable to an extent yes, but you that's only the tip of the iceberg

desz02091 not at that particular part of the place

gggg a clue coming up...

 

clue #1 are you thinking that Saint Jimmy existed? ever think that he is a fictional character?

[amal81 3]

is death of saint jimmy related to computer grahics or something like that... its only a hunch; I dont know for sure

[GDDan 4]

this wouldn't happen to be about green day would it?

[+Guest]

amal81 no it has got nothing to any computer graphics but...

GDDan you're getting warmer

[GDDan 4]

hmm... well in a song, it goes Jimmy died today. He blew his brains out into the bay....

and it mentions a City of lust

[gggg 9]

when, where and how did Saint Jimmy die

quote>

 

OK... I gott the answer

 

when: Today

where: in the City of lust...I think

how: he blew his branin

 

sooo..... do I gett 3 points or what??

[+Guest]

GDDan 2 points for mentioning He blew his brains out into the bay that being where and how, although you did mention the city of lust, the bay could mean the bay at San Francisco (i found this info at wikipedia) if your not sure why, i'll post all info once this puzzle is fully solved (be lucky i din't disqualify you for breaking the 2 post rule)

gggg nice try

Hordijk as i said in my last reply, he wasn't carrying anything as his death (suicide) was private (see MrVegetable's reply why he did so), and the lyrics he blew his brains out into the bay implies that he was carrying a lethal weapon, hence why i said yes and no

MrVegetable as i said in my last reply, you were right to an extent, as St Jimmy at this point of the album could not cope with his personality, so he decided to kill this ego and go back to his Jesus of Suburbia image (again, wikipedia)

 

clue #2 (for when) find the book with the heart-shaped hand grenade and find the page of St Jimmy's death, the date is there (okay, i'm talking in riddles, but i like to make things harder)

[gggg 9]

well...the heart-shaped hand grenade  is the image on theyr last albom....

I think its called american idiot....

 

EDIT: it was released at 21 September 2004.... if that what you mean

 

[GDDan 4]

How: He blew his brains out.

 

Where: The Bay (San Francisco?)

 

When: October 19th

[+Guest]

GDDan you've got all 3 points for that question well done

gggg unlucky, just keep trying

 

the answer expalined

 

from American Idiot

 

and from wikipedia:

 

The story of St. Jimmy, aka Jesus of Suburbia is a tragic tale. At its beginning, Jesus of Suburbia--a nameless character representing all rebellious youth--is seemingly any other person. Subsequently, on Easter Sunday in Jingletown, USA, Jesus of Suburbia develops a second personality: St. Jimmy. St. Jimmy is the more renegade version of the Jesus of Suburbia, and takes part in riots and revolts all throughout the town. Soon he meets Whatsername ; she hooked up with St. Jimmy, but later left him on account of his wild side. St. Jimmy then proceeds to burn all the photographs of him with Whatsername, as well as destroy everything that reminds him of her. This act takes the entire month of September. Being the infamous St. Jimmy, he decides to pull off one last stunt to restart his life: a fake suicide.

Nobody knows how, but St. Jimmy fakes a gunshot through his head by the bay. Afterwords Jesus of Suburbia gets a desk job and loses the friends he once had under his rebellious alter-ego.

 

also about the where being San Francisco: i've read about it in another article on wikipedai (can't find it now though) and in the next part of East 12th Street where Jesus of Suburbia was arrested, this is where Billy Joe Armstrong once had to fill out paper work at the local precient in the state of California, so there are some connections

 

2nd question

 

i started doing an essay at 3.20pm and i finish the essay at 3.20pm on the same day, how

[gggg 9]

hmmmm..... the clock is resantly moved one hour back.... so I guess you had one hour to write it.....

Im only guessing........

[GDDan 4]

you copy+paste it from a website?

[gggg 9]

^^ROFL

[+Guest]

gggg no, because where i'm from, we change our clocks at the last sunday of october, and it is changed at 2am i think

GDDan there's websites that have got essays on it lol joking, no i don't cheat seriously!

 

the more posts there is, the sooner clues will be posted

[Slowhand 0]

Oh. This one is hard.

May I ask a question? Were you traveling?

Hm. I'd say when you were doing your essay, you were traveling on some sort of transportation and you finished on the other side of the world, which would be 3.20pm?



Thats my clueless gess.

[Bach2Baroque 168]

Started at 3:20pm and finished 3:20pm on the same day, thats kinda tricky. Im guessing you din't even do the essay and just pass it up

[gggg 9]

maybe your clock stoped working at 3:20..... that way you lways have the same time

[+Guest]

gggg right my friend i got the idea for this question when the battery died, and this is how it came to be, 1 point to you

Slowhand i can understand wh you said that, better luck next time

desz02091 you should have seen my face when i saw your reply better luck next time

 

3rd question coming soon

[GDDan 4]

hmm... if your clock stopped working, wouldn't it either be blank or flash 12:00??

EDIT: ah yes the second-hand clock. forgot all about those

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

A digital clock would, but a clock with hands would just stop.

[+Guest]

3rd question

you may know that i like to run (because i'm crazy) anyway one day i decide to do some running over 800 metres, but the problem is on the 1st 3rd and 5th run , i do approx 2 minutes 20 seconds but on the 2nd 4th and 6th run i do 2 minutes 40 seconds, and i am also wearing a heart rate monitor which tells me my heart rate is approx 150 beats per minute on all runs, how is this possible

 

if you don't get what the question is asking, just ask

 

Leech10 i would have imagined that if the digital clock was flashing at 12:00 the time would have needed reseting, not the batteries needing a change

 

edit: i've designed a scoresheet on publisher, it'll be up asap

[GDDan 4]

i dont get what the question is asking

[gggg 9]

where you runing up and down a hill??....

you know..  1st down the hill 2nd up the hill 3th back down again.. etc

[Bach2Baroque 168]

oh so its,

1st 3rd 5th run = 2min 20secs
2nd 4th 6th run = 2min 40secs

heart beat rate 150 per min on all 6 runs.

hmmm, maybe your heart beat reader has errors.

or, becoz on run 2 4 & 6 you ate before you ran, thats why its longer and slower. (im not making any sense XD)
