Wait, our suits get increased in preformance and such if we design them ourselves with technical things in mind? Hmmm, might try that with my stealth suit.

 

Not for the merits, but for the fact that I want a suit that's pretty strong.

[Jehosaphat]

Hmmm... if we ended up building a refinery, we could build stuff like the EDGE suit as much as we wanted, provided we blew up enough asteroids to get the resources for it.

[Seraphi]

Righto, thanks.

 

I guess I'll need to get to work on my weapons engineering so that I can build things like this faster and more effectively.

[The_Mather1]

The anagram answer has nothing to do with food, and is a fairly common phrase in a fairly large number of countries(if translated, obviously).

You have obviously not solved it correctly.

[Retech]

Arch, may I put double or triple puzzle locks on my data? And have them as a three-strikes for the entire thing? Like if you mess up three times combined, it won't accept any more guesses.

 

Not that anyone could solve all of these anyways. :D

[Icuownage]

Mather he was probably the one who made it. Or he got it from a source, I don't think Archi solves every puzzle he does, if he does then that's just scary.

[Retech]

If anyone wants, I can make math puzzle locks for them. Guarenteed almost unbreakable.

[Seraphi]

Except to you :rolleyes:

 

I'll make my own locks if I need them. Although since I have access to the beta override I can simply lock people out of my designs completely.

[Jehosaphat]

Screw normal math locks; I'm gonna use 1 math lock that's guaranteed to take a while to solve without a graphing calculator, and then a crypto lock with no hints. (P.S. I'll make sure they're both doable.... just not easy.)

[Icuownage]

My puzzles will be unsolveable, or just REALLY really unlikely that anyone will ever know the answer.

[Jehosaphat]

Oh, and after the math and the crypto, you'll get...

 

"What is your name?"

"What is your quest?"

And then a randomly generated solvable question from the AI.

[Retech]

What does a refinery do anyways?

[The_Mather1]

Mather he was probably the one who made it. Or he got it from a source, I don't think Archi solves every puzzle he does, if he does then that's just scary.

I was the one who made the anagram I and Pieis were refering to.

[Icuownage]

Oooooh, my bad.

 

A refinery is a thing that seperates out pure metals from their ores. It does nothing other than that I don't think.

[The_Mather1]

Since Pieis shows no sign of wanting co-operation then I say this to you all: I offer my services to anyone who can solve this anagram;

Dont eat feses, dont like pee

Hear the maw

I hire you, ty

[Retech]

Oooooh, my bad.

 

A refinery is a thing that seperates out pure metals from their ores. It does nothing other than that I don't think.

 

That doesn't seem that useful, considering there are mass fabricators on our ship.

[Seraphi]

Actually, that isn't completely true. We may have fabricators, but we still need raw materials to use them. For example, there is currently a lack of the raw materials required to fabricate the EDGE Suit.

 

A refinery would also allow us access to any strange materials we find on our travels. It would also mean massively reduced costs for fabrication, since we make the raw materials ourselves.

[The_Mather1]

And it should also allow us to shape anything that could be molten into moulds or smithed with hammer and anvil.

Puzzles must be reasonably solvable...

As in if someone sat down and tried to solve it, they could understand the question and have a reasonable chance of solving it with knowladge of basic Maths, Science or English....without knowladge of abstract principles which are on the cutting edge of science...such as n!, page and line numbers of quotes from books or the Schwarzschild radius.

 

 

As an example of what is not acceptable:

Where A6=3.9409, B7=272, C9=2057,D35= 7914, A18=-K32, B44=-J6, I21=-C29 and F25=-F25

 

What is the sum of the values of letters and numbers in the two formulas which generate this table?

 

Assume:

A is worth 1 and Z is worth 26, and the letters increase in value along the alphabet by whole integers.

Bodmas(Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) have the values of ther associated words

Irrational numbers are rounded to the nearest whole number.

[Retech]

n! = n times (n-1) times (n-2) times (n-3) and so on until 1.

 

So 5! would be 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120

6! would be 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720

 

And so on. Just an easy way to write a long list of numbers.

[Icuownage]

Still think shields drone and stealth all are above a refinery.

[The_Mather1]

My puzzle is solvable, people must just think outside the box, of undeniable logic and odd internet phrases. If I said the answer now some of you would laugh, those who have tried solving it would laugh twice a hard then facepalm.

[archimage_a]

Personally...I would just use a Technobabble Token if the puzzle was THAT hard...and I desperately wanted that data.

[Seraphi]

Shields and stealth, yes, but I think drones numbering under 100 can be controlled using a VISOR, assuming that the controller has a reasonable amount of willpower and their mind wont get broken from seeing 20 different perspectives at once.

[The_Mather1]

Keep in mind that I could only control 6 with my datapad, which should be able to control more than a visor.
