OK, I'm close to the 75% secret
I think I found two clues (red herrings).
But now what?

You don't; the 75% scavenger hunt is a wee bit broken right now (since the server incident). I'll shoot a PM to Schik and see if he can find a way to fix it.

You're on the right track, but for the moment you'll get an error if you hit on the solution.

Are you sure? Because I can still find it.

The way I would have liked to have found it to begin with never worked for me in any case.

Okay, it's still there, you just can't find it the way I found it. :) The current solution is a little more brute-force than finesse, and you need to be semi-confident in what you're looking for.

In the past week I've gotten three goodies. One every day I've visted the forum.

Clearly Schik has added the following lines of code:

if user="Mattcrampy" {
      generate_goodie{now}
      give_goodie
}

Come on! That's way too far-fetched. Most people on the boards already have ten goodies, so the odds of getting one are much higher. That was my plan all along, and it has been working pretty well, with one goodie every ten clicks or so.

Now that there is so little competition, I'm up to *nine* goodies, and down to absolutely no clue regarding the solution. Still, be warned I will do my best to interfere with your own attempt at claiming all the goodies.

Does somebody know how long the bar has been at 82%?

Sure been a while.

Question: After you solve the riddle, does the bar still give you points?
Haven't got any since.

Well, the first person to post an "82%!" post was 5 days ago - so I'd say 5 days.

Question: After you solve the riddle, does the bar still give you points?
Haven't got any since.

I got my first rank points from the bar only after "solving" the riddle (disclaimer: I didn't actually solve the riddle, I was given 10 goodies and told the solution by Schik)

I don't change the percentage on the bar. So yeah, I did read your post, but that's not really relevant. :P

Fake how? I'm pretty sure it's a 100% genuine bar. No additives or preservatives at all.

It's updated by Mike, not Schik, though.

Any admin can change the Bar percent...but no one would think of doing it without Mike's permission on a non-April-Fool's-Day occasion. ;) Actually, once Mike let me change it by 0.25% after he put one of my changes in, that was pretty fun. :D

Game on,

I wouldn't have noticed you had eaten a clown myself, were it not for that clown hat you are still trying to swallow.

My scheme has reached Perfection, and the last goodie is now in my hands. Now all I need is a gentle soul to give me a nudge, a hint, or a good slap in the head and the solution to the Riddle. Them silly evil eyes wreak havoc with the one theory I had.

I had a conversation pretty much along these lines with Erik when he visited earlier this year. I shudder to think what you people could do if Schik didn't give you the bar to amuse yourselves with.

We have a second computer, plus my dad's laptop, my uncle's laptop, and a very old Dell upstairs that no one uses anymore because it takes 15 minutes to turn on and crashes after about 20 minutes.
