question and answer thread.

has anyone passed step one?!
I'm begginning to think its a little complicated!... :rolleyes:

ooopsy I've made a calculation error :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

sorry but the number from step 2 must be 1271999

i think that noone's there yet but at least i found my error :D

so if anyone's there sorry!

i edited the condition so its ok !

Seems to me that I'm the only one to solve this "scavenger hunt" but anyway I won't post the answer here because I had quite a lot of fun solving it and I'm sure you will "suffer" the same. Wish you all good luck finding out this nasty word :p :p :p

I don't know how to go about finding the popular internet number :(

hmm im sure www.google.com will help =) remember if you serch for it it gives more than 2000 web pages

A question regarding the user: Is the three-digit number his username, or does the name contain the number? And: You mean CG users, right? I'm at step 6, but can't find the user. :confused:

5. get the number of this site and add it to the least of the devisors from step 3

number x, devisor y
user id for step 6 x+y

and yes it's about CodeGuru users, i missed that sorry.
Go to the personal info of somebody and you'll see that in the url there is a user id, that's what i'm talking about

OK, that's what you mean by user ID. So am I right that the answer is "TableDataModel"?

gstercken, no!
but anyway you're third to post an answer so i'm gonna reveal the solution... i think that you were close ;)

so the number from step one is

3,083,324,652 not 3,500,000,000 i said it was about something exact and precise and what in the world is exactly 3,500,000,000

so summed with 1271999 it gives 3084596651, which devisors are

521
769
7699
400649
4011179
5920531

the most common digit here is 9 and in http://90.com in the source there is www.46.com and 521+46=567

and the user with id 567's longes word from all his 5 posts
is jtableheader, which is the answer ;)

so chaos_user PMed me first with the correct answer, then solarflare, if i had given you more thime you'd probably answer too

so did you like this, cause i have some much harder ones... do you want me to continue...
