Well, it isn't negative anymore, but it wasn't me...

EDIT: Oh that one. It was an interesting topic though!

It is. I'm not talking about the post in this thread, but rather the old post of mine that was modified to include the location of the screenshot.

Oh, hah. Didn't realize that was possible.

I still find this very amusing - I wonder if this was a random act of vandalism, or whether someone was genuinely really upset (maybe they didn't understand the hint? Or really hate TCB spoilers?)

I think I don't think so...

I think so, Brain, but where would we find five wubbas and some duct tape at this hour?

Okay, since the smallest an object can be is 1 tile, what would be required to have a 1-tile spool of duct tape? Let's find out!

One tile is five feet by five feet, as Danforth Strout will easily point out to you.

For simplicity, we'll assume the duct tape is 10 millimeters thick.

Google Calculator tells us that we need a 76-layer spool.

So, we'll construct a cylinder of duct tape of radius 2.5 feet.

Now, since a 1-inch radius spool that's 10 millimeters thick covers 60 yards, a 2.5 foot radius spool, the type you would find in dungeons, should cover 30 times the length, or 1,800 yards, or 600 feet, or exactly 120 tiles.

Whoa there - are you attempting to tape a bulldozer to a wall or something? (Would that be considered weapons-grade duct tape, then?)

A thickness of 0.10 millimeters seems more likely to me...

np: Autechre - LCC (Untilted)

...Oops.

That seemed a bit thick, but I wasn't really sure what else 10 mils could mean.

The results stand, though!

I figured that, but I was referring to the riddle of the bar[/goodies]

[goodies]Oh, there's no aspects to the bar riddle that aren't publicly available - there haven't been for a while. Of course, we might add new spoilers and stuff, but honestly, we're sort of moving past the "coy games" phase of hype and into straightforward information phase[/goodies]

Y'know what? I think that whenever nothing else bar-trackable is there, the bar should measure the chance of getting a goodie on the next click, and go up a small amount every click that doesn't get a goodie. That way people can solve the riddle of the bar, 50 million years after the fact...

I'm so close!! I've almost got it! I'll get the riddle of the bar, then I can read this thread. A man, a mission. A bar.

EDIT: Er...Maybe I'm not as close as I thought. Whatever.

Well, I believe the bar is again giving out goodies while it shows the patch progress so there's new people bound to solve the riddle - so where else should they post about it if not here?

np: Broke - Overthat (Speicher CD3)

Incidentally, I have received 2 bar goodies, and yet I haven't gotten a bar goodies tab. This is particularly sad, considering I've clicked it many times. Also, I didn't get a screenshot, so it could be considered not to have happened. I'm just wondering if I've done anything wrong, or if collecting them isn't going to work anymore.

Hmm, yeah. I solved the Riddle before TCB, and I no longer have the goodies listed in my profile. So even if the DBOD is giving out the goodies again, there won't be any way to actually solve the riddle with them.

That's not good. Nope. Not good. That means 15 or more million people won't be able to read 15 pages of posts.
