[Xecer]

Confirmed.

[Sy_Accursed]

Im still trying to ger buies n revers engineering my numbers.

 

I've got:

m-(20+P)=8

45 - 5 = 40

X-(83+)=9

 

based on the nubmers i 100% sure on

Ok I've further reverse enginnered my numbers.

 

I'm certain there was 20 trees and 18 flowers; so there msut be 46 gems to create answer of 8

45 statues is confirmed by the fact there is 5 broken statues and outcome is 40

83 cabbage is definite, 41 swords seems to be right; which means 133 candles

[Saru Inc]

Wait whats so hard about counting things?

 

Counting isnt hard, finding what Jagex deem worthy of a "living" tree or "gems on display" is.

 

 

Ahhh.

Confirmed :-D

[Guthorm]

Isn't there suppose to be a cloak as well?

[Kalafai]

Counting troubles

Alt count for the three gems on the table, not in the display.

 

# MyCount/AltCount (other counts); correct(supposedly)*

 

M 43*/46 (44) (40)

N 20 (21) (17) (19)*

P 18*

 

Q 44 (32) (42) (46) (45)*

S 5*

 

X 160* (159)

Y 83*

Z 42 (33) (43)*

 

Orb of Occulus is very much a requirement, and none of us can be a bean counter.

[Silent_Kill]

Mark H says you can claim your reward NOW if you know who the author is...

 

Anyone know who it is?

 

 

[hide]I've heard it's duke Horacio in lumby[/hide]

It's a hat, coat and trousers.

[ThePie]

So, any idea why the Mysterious book is in the costume box? We can't wear it.

[topper4125]

MMH now says that 46 was right for the gem count according to their counting as well:

Err... good luck getting rubies.

[Jon Arcane]

Absolutely love the outfit <3:

 

[topper4125]

Err... good luck getting rubies.

 

 

Luckily I had a few hundred laying around... Throne of Misc FTW!

[BloodAngel]

So im annoyed when I get home. Think "Lets enjoy some of the clue fest."

 

3 and a half hours later I find out the grid is wrong.

To top it off, no store sells uncut rubies and thanks to the double exp weekend, rubies dont buy in the ge.

 

Now im just pissed.

 

Kill Bork today and tomorrow and you'll get two or go and kill some Goraks.

They should have really tested that this actually works though rather than have people wasting time to try and solve something that was unsolvable because Jagex messed up yet again.

[Jehosaphat]

I was going to participate in the Cluefest, but I really can't be bothered running around the F2P area bringing random crap to people in order to get a new aesthetics outfit. I'll stick with my current 30 or so skilling outfits, tyvm.

I imagine they'll have another clue fest at some point that, even if it doesn't add anything to the game they'll offer up the old items for those who missed them, so don't worry about it.

[Big_Stingman]

Wait what? I just got on my computer...what is this about not being able to solve the clue?

 

EDIT: Haha 101 users reading this topic...I can see everyone loves solving the clue for themselves. XD

[Aking]

Here's the answers for todays puzzle (chapter 5):

 

6 Bronze Maces

2 Uncut Rubies

4 Fire Runes

Skirt shop owner

2 Pike

6 Earth Runes

1 Bronze Mace

the reward is an outfit (not as bad as some other holiday reward costumes)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oops, i didn't know it was a new topic, sorry

[Mil]

All 6 clue solutions have been posted on the first post, just in case you're struggling/lazy. :thumbup:

[Sy_Accursed]

Right I'm fairly certain of my numbers now:

 

M: 46 Gems - Jagex said so on twitter

P: 18 Blue Flowers - I've like tripled checked

N: 19 - Must exclude the none-cuttable one that amde it 20, else equation fails

 

S: 5 Broken statues - Easily counted

Q: 45 Statues/armour suits - S proves this must be true to get outcome

 

Z: 83 Cabbages - One of the easy couns

Y: 41 Weapons - With the shield swords etc. I've tripled checked.

X: 132 Candles - Never quite landed on this with my counts, but it must be for sum to work.

[ilovesilvia]

Paying max in trade for someone to sell me all the items needed for the clue fest?

[strilmus]

Using uncut rubies was a horrible idea. I know it's hindsight, but I can't help but feel that it's extremely obvious hindsight.

 

Wait whats so hard about counting things?

 

You would not be saying this if you had actually gone out and counted them.

 

Seriously, how many candles or suits of armor does somebody need anyway?
