Welcome to, 'Crack the code' 1
The basic concept of the contest is to pass all the barriers, and decode the final code. Who ever does this first will be rewarded with the first prize!
Kindly read all the rules, and the description.
Description:
This code-breaking contest is not related to any script or coding language, all you need is time, concentration and some common sense..
Figuring out the codes is very easy, according to me.
The contest consists of 4 barriers, you need a specific code to pass each barrier, the final barrier consists of a final code, which you will have to decode, and then you will get the final answer.
All the barriers are embeded flash files, these files are not just to be viewed! You have to do something in them, to go ahead.. check for the in-built hints.. Don't go to the next barrier unless told to do so in the present barrier, even if you do go to the next one, you wont be able to pass it, because you need a code 
Other than that, once the winner is selected, he will have to write down the method to get to the code, and how he de-coded it. So, you'll have to pass all the barriers anyway.
Rules:
1)Send all answers to me as a pm.
2)Post all questions as a reply to this post (if the question relates to anything which can help any other user to get through, then kindly pm it to me)
3)Do not tell the method of passing any certain stage to anyone, in-case you are caught doing so, you will be disqualified, along with the other user.
4)There is no time limit.. the contest is ever lasting.
5)All wrong answers will be posted by me in this post (in case there are any, which is quite unlikely)
6)Do not go to the next barrier, unless the present barrier tells you to do so.
7)if you are participating in the competition, then please reply to this post, saying the same.
prizes include:
1st prize(250 frih$)
2nd prize(100 frih$)

So is my understanding correct that the the time limit for the contest is equal to the first one to break the final code? Or are you going to time the intervals of the next codes?

Thanks! btw, what exactly do you mean by "announcement" ?
Any way! I have given the links to the barriers, so why dont you check them out?!!
The competition has officially started
Edit:
Please pay attention, if you are participating in the competition, then please reply to this post, saying the same.Ah, stuck at Barrier 2 
Can't think right now. same here. Is "pant" a clue or should it just be pants?
I am participating in the competition.
I tried, but don't think this is something I'm good at. I don't think I "get" what I'm supposed to do, either that or the screen should be a Flash Movie, and it is just dead HTML non-interactive Website.

i guess i'll participate I got number 1, but I'm stuck on 2... I just can't figure out anything that works with those letters and that clue... I'll come back to it tomorrow with a fresh brain.
JUST finished the 3rd one... I'm gonna say... It was easy, but requires a bit of thought at first
I'll pm you my answers tomorrow.. it's 2:30 am , and my hands are too cold to type anything else lol. | [FuN]goku wrote: |

Wow, that was fast!!
Well, people, looks like you'll have to catch up!! [FuN]goku seems to be at quite a position right now!
Well, I'll see his answers, so that I can verify if he really has passed all the other barriers!
any way! I'm pretty sure you people are having a lot of fun! | rvec wrote: |

Clarification:
just to tell you guys! pant just means pants....

its a flash file, maybe you dont have flash player installed..
Bug:
I checked barrier 2, and there seems to be some problem with the final screen... in-case you have already found out the answer, kindly pm it to me, and I'll give you a link to the final screen of barrier 2...
you may also continue to the next barrier, as the final screen doesnt really offer much, but still it will help you 
Okay, I've submitted my solutions to speeDemon, and i'm trying out the 4th barrier... it looks like it's gonna be a bit more challenging [fuN]goku seems to be at the top right now, lets see if he can figure out the final code!
Good luck 
I'm still stuck on 2 
Well I suppose Ill try my hand at this. The first one was easy, but I am stuck at number 2. Well back to thinking...
Edit: Nevermind got it.
I'm still stuck on barrier 4 lol.
Gah I suppose I need to wait for him to send me the final screen from 2 since I cant seem to get 3 right now.
Ok I'm playing, I've got to barrier 2 and I think I may have the answer. We shall see when you get my PM.
Has anyone beaten this yet?
Okay I'm stuck on barrier 3. I tried adjusting the RGB on my screen but that did nothing. I tried clicking on the area of the screen that you said but that didn't work. Hmmm....
Oh wait I just had an idea, lets see if it works.
well.... you dont ned need to change the rgb or anything..... just unsolve the thing using all the sentences... and then track down the thing.....
I'll give a crack at it.
count me in

I don't think they have, or he probably would have said here. I'm not sure how far everyone else is, but from what I can tell, I'm on the last part of barrier 4.... and I'm quite stumped.. but I havent really put any effort into it lately, as I've been busy with other stuff.. I think I'll try to finish it later Lol, I've been stuck on the same part forever. Gratz on 4th barrier [FuN]goku!
hey guys, the competition is still on!!!
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about this, I guess I'll go work on barrier three some more.
im in...but got stucked with the 2nd one.. Buck up guys!!
Most of you seem to get the whole 'ideas' behind the codes and all... but still... no one still figured out what the final code breaks down to....
Can't really disclose who those guys are... it's not illegal though!!
So, c'mmon! Show me some Brains!! I know it, and you know it better, that you can do it!! Haha, I'm talking like a politician!!
Any way... just get going!! I'm participating.
But I'm stuck at the beginning of Barrier 3 while the first two were easy.
Got a hint for me?

haha!! whats the fun if its not difficult! 
anyway... seeing that most of you want a hint for the third barrier's beginning.. here you go:
First of all, Try to relate the top sentence with the bottom one, then use some veryyyy basic algebra, and finally, track down something... somehow....!! so, are you guys still playing, or should I consider that no one has got the brains to break the barriers??
i just havent bothered for a while... nearing end of the school year so i'm busy with other things hehe.
oh common! doesnt anyone want to win??
or do you people have a lack of code-breaking skills I got stuck at Barrier 3, and to honest, I don't really care that much about it to try and figure it out.

Hmm......... looks like you guys are out of fuel! well, I'm not closing the competition, you all can keep trying if you want to, and I will still give the prize to anyone who can break the final code....Aww, got stuck on the "Polar Coordinate" question, and I'm not continuing until I get paid 
It's a pity I'm not signed up to participate in this competition, isn't it, speeDemon? 
At least I'm giving everybody else a chance to have their tries, though | Hogwarts wrote: |

umm.... I'm a bit confused.. what exactly are you trying to say?? I mean, this may sound a bit stupid, but I could'nt understand what you are saying..!!
1st of all, what does-"until I get paid" mean? do you want your prize before you finish the game??!!
2nd, "It's a pity I'm not signed up to participate in this competition, isn't it, speeDemon? " do you mean that I didnt write your name in the "currently playing" list?? well, if that is the problem, then I'm sorry, I guess I skiped you somehow, I just added your name...
btw, the part you are stuck on.... well.... its the ending portion of the competition.... I mean, its just next to the final code... maybe this will improve your morale..!! try a bit more, and the final code will be yours!! | speeDemon wrote: |

I may, or may not, already have the final code
I just want to give the other folks a chance without taking away their incentive to participate, though. Perhaps we can increase the prize for on it? | Hogwarts wrote: |

ahem ahem, I think you are a bit mistaken... you have to decode the final code... right... try it... its not that easy!! though its not very difficult....
and I'm sorry, but the prize money will remain the same! anyway, there is a second place too, so dont worry about "giving a chance" ok??
just crack the code!im probably too late in this one but if this contest is still on then i'm in.
BTW for barrier 2 are we meant to input two words with a space between each? and with capital letters or none?
Alright, Now that my exams are over, I think I might take another stab at it.
hope i can join if i can im in
of course you're in...
Best of luck
