Just for the record, that indicates my thoughts. Would have liked to... erhmmm... have had more riddles. Yes, that's it.

Sorry to bother you all, but I am a little bit confused with all of this.

What's the riddle about? Is one of those "The solution is to find the problem"? Or you have to find the correct 10-goodies combination? Can you do it before you get all 10 goodies?

The evidence does suggest that it has something to do with collecting the full complement of goodies.

Although rumour has it that finding the answer to the riddle will only leave you with more questions...

*mysterious!*

Finally, the bar delivered a negotiator, and I am the latest to solve the riddle! :thumbsup

Keep on clicking.

Several people have figured it out before they got all 10, but they couldn't do anything about it until they got the last one.

Game on,

Isn't it a bit strange that I was clicking for a decent amount of time and so far I still didn't get anything? Just how long do you have to click to get something on average?

After 82846 clicks, there have been 335 goodies given out, for an average of about 247 clicks per goodie. You've clicked 138 times, according to my records. Oh wait, it's going up... now you're at 159. Still, you're under the average number of clicks per goodie, so I'd say it's not that strange. Now let me pick a random user who has all of the goodies. Let's see, this one has clicked 7874 times (name withheld to protect the innocent).

Woah! (Pronounced woe'-ah). Yes, I've clicked the bar a good so many times. Almost 1000, I think.

Schik, would you be so kind as to tell me how many times I've clicked the bar? I'd be willing to guess, but can I access this info somewhere?

It's not publicly available. You've clicked 638 times.

How many times have I clicked ? I just got my fourth goodie earlier today (an awake evil eye), but it doesn't feel like I've been clicking the bar a lot ..

Indeed you haven't been. 61.

For the record, another user who has solved the riddle did so in a mere 629 clicks.

Because it's a timed thing, batch clicking doesn't really do much for you. You're better off checking the board somewhat frequently throughout the day and clicking on your first visit. That's how some people can get away with relatively low click totals.

Is there any particular reason why this information isn't available to each user? It would be fun to be able to see your own click count (it doesn't have to be publicly available, just a counter somewhere in the profile).

I hope I'm not the one responsible for about 10% of all bar clicks...

They should try other more interesting forums... (Hint: help me.)

Oh, and I haven't got any goodies for a long time...

Thanks for the info about the riddle.

I have 8 Goodies, and no idea about what to do with them...

By the way, I think I have *too much* goodies for the number of times i've clicked it. I think I've done it about 500-600 times...

I'm wondering if the order people are listed the 'Goodie Leaders' list has anything to do with the number of times they clicked the bar. Even though I was 5th to solve the riddle, I seem to be listed first no matter who else gets added to the list. If so, that would mean I was either really good or really bad with my # of clicks compared to others. :blush

The only reason is that I haven't coded anything up to do it. I didn't bother adding a new database for tracking clicks, I just write them out to a log file. So I could code this up, I just.... haven't.

The ordering doesn't have anything to do with the number of times they clicked. It was kinda random... There, I've alphabetized it.

Kinda random?! No. Wasn't it ordered by registration date? Anyway, an alphabetized list is better.

Whoa.... looking at the raw results, yeah, that *is* how it was ordered... though I didn't specify how to order them. Weird. I would have thought that if anything, it would have ordered by who got their first goodie first. You learn something every day.

Pretty much all of them. By the time you get ten goodies, you pretty much know what the idea is.

Well I hate to buck the trend, but I'm equipped but don't know how to use the equipment. I never found any interesting combinations when I had only a few items, and now the task of decoding the secret based on what other people have posted is daunting to say the least. I'll probably work on it some this week/weekend.

Out of curiosity, how many times did I click the bar?

Huh?
Statistics show you have 10 goodies.

I've got a spider about an hour ago. :thumbsup

I'm only a checkpoint away to solve the riddle, makes me feel like playing DROD, when you're just one move away from a checkpoint, but you can't step on it or you die

But, me now clicking like mad man :w00t

Ah well, next will be mine (starts clicking again) :w00t
