    Solve this

    http://i12.tinypic.com/73dnr6d.jpg
    TIPS

    (a) each puzzle leads you to figuring out the next one
    (b) some steps involve a chain of ciphers
    (c) if using text with spaces (i.e. as a key), ignore the spaces
    (d) there are red herrings & tricky riddles
    (e) share your partial solutions because this may require cooperation

    From a post on the WOW boards (though I'm sure it originates elsewhere). I personally am not very good at this, but it's pretty cool what people come up with.

    Recap (so far) of what people have come up with is here . Sort of spoilers for the first image, obviously

    Yea, it does...which makes it so interesting Pretty much all of the answers found so far have been way over my head, so I'm really hoping to see some people familiar with cyphers/codes/encriptions/whatever here

    Re: Solve this

    The first one is very easy if you are familiar with this type of stuff. (Hint, look up ROT47 on the Wikipidia)

    As for the rest...maybe tomorrow

    do we get gil if we solve it? Seeing that you get 1000g in WoW if you do (I have no idea if that is a lot)

    So we are basically helping some one get 1000G, which he could possibly turn around for about $200 if he RMTs it?

    Passsssssssssssssss

    It obviously says "Call Foof for a good time". I'll pass on that though.

    iirc she's quite pretty and no longer jailbait.

    Section 5 is pretty obviously wingdings, but without the first 4 it probably wouldn't mean anything.

    Re: Solve this


    Given two adjacent vertices p and q, the resistance across the edge from p to q is the voltage drop along the edge when a 1 amp current is injected at p and withdrawn at q. Whether or not p and q are adjacent, the unit current flow from p to q can be written as the superposition of the unit current flow from p out to infnity and the unit current flow from infinity into q.

    By symmetry, in the unit current flow from p to infinity, the flow out of p is distributed equally among the 2d edges going out of p, so the flow along any one of them is 1/2d amps. Similarly, in the unit current flow into q, the flow along each edge coming into q is 1/2d . If p and q are adjacent, when the two flows are superimposed the flow along the edge from p to q is 2*1/(2d) = 1/d.

    But since this edge has resistance 1 ohm, the voltage drop along it is also 1/d, so the efective resistance between p and q is 1/d.

    I'll watch out for semi trucks on the way home from work.
