Its 00.30 here, and the bar keeps me from my sleep

i have 9 goodies - i should have the last one on wednesday, then i will try to solve the bar.

not too sure where to begin though, as the sequence i had for eight will be very different to one i have now of nine (i can't make any more interesting comb's by just moving the new eye i have)

I have some possible answers for 10 goodies, but we will just have to wait and see...

well its the kind of answer that when you know it, you know it.
in fact, you then start to hit your self for not realiseing it immediatly.

so be sure to tie up you hands before realising the answer, and have very good control with your feet.

I guess I'm going to set a new record for the aumount of time between getting ten goodies and solving the riddle. I think I need another hint.

EDIT: If you for some reason are unable to look at the posts below, I've got a PM. Just to be safe, I don't think anyone has that problem.

Thanks Kie and gamer_extreme_101 for the PMs,
I didn't really use the hints, but it kept me brooding just long enough. I now solved the riddle , but the reward kind of worries me...

Oh well, the bar clicking was fun.

Goodie update:

I haven't received a goodie for several weeks. It's most frustrating, especially as I'm pretty sure I know what the answer is and what the secret is.

All I've got is the negotiator.

So it's been at least a couple month since I got my last goodie. I keep thinking on them at some times (I got a lot of other work to do, you know ).

So, I just need a little little help. Does it have relation with anything? The colors, the numbers, ... ?

Is a list available of top bar clickers so far?
i would like to know if i am in the top 10, as the bar seems to have become my drug of choice... even after solving the riddle.

Does anyone know any therapy groups I could join?

Too bad my home computer doesn't allow me to click the bar . . . although spending click time at work keeps me from interfering with truly productive people.

Up to nine goodies!

I suspect when I get to ten I'll still have no idea what the order is. (I have re-re-re-read this thread, looked at the 16-square color thing, and followed the "350" link, still missing the point.) The nine I do have show an "interesting" order as Robin noted on page 21 - Orb . . . Seep - is this an indication of the full-10 order?

Not directly, but if you work out why that 9-goodie-arrangement is interesting, then an interesting 10-goodie-arrangement will probably suggest itself.

Got #10 . . . . yay me! Ready to go . . .

I don't, however, have a clue as to the right order. Perhaps all the pieces are there - the couple of color grids, the 350 room file, the hints blurted out a few pages back, the (etc), and none of it fits together for me.

I tried:
1) Sorting the goodies in the same approximate color order as the two grids;
2) Sorting the goodies in approximate intelligence order;
3) Sorting the goodies by their relative "friendliness" - for example, goblins are more friendly than most other monsters, because they can be manipulated.

I suspect these aren't correct. I suspect further that those in the know find these approaches very hilarious. I, however, do not . . . and any hints are welcome.

Thanks -

Hooray! I have solved the Riddle of the Bar!

I actually think I knew what the answer was just from reading this thread, but gotta keep those clicks up. (I'm tempted to continue -- half of my rank points have come from bar clicks so far.)

What happened when I solved the Riddle?



Eagerly awaiting TCB!
