well i worked it out, and this was my favourite puzzle yet!!

very well made

eyesofblue227 · 05-21-2006, 12:07 AM

I know nothing about the videogame mentioned throughout the forum, although I did deduce that the title of the puzzle refers to this specific game mentioned. I have found a number (I think), but could use a reply or PM with a bigger nudge, as I am so completely lost. Thanks.

Google is your best friend, always. Especially when you don't know what in the planet the rest of the people are talking about.

happyfish · 08-01-2006, 04:15 PM

I have the number and letter had that straight away, I also understand what the symbol means mathematically and how that then relates to the title and the last clue "on this planet",

But what on earth is the number relating to I can only see one constant result given by any search engine google included, which in abbreviation and extended versions are not the answer.

I have used the symbol (in words) and the numberical (as number and as words) but alas to no avail.

I have read Wilkapida and each of the possiblities including the discussion comments.

Sorry to go on please a hint to the number reference. Or if it is so obviouse a hint would be too much to post please pm me.

Thanks in advance

Hehehe...

I scanned the title and skewed the rather good hint in the wrong direction. If you want to score big, then skip these hints and skim your science textbook. I'd say the chances of missing it then are, well... I'd say slim, but another word would fit better.

happyfish · 08-01-2006, 06:41 PM

Yes, I was in the wrong direction with game.

I have the answer thanks to a very kind hint from a member.

For those still in need, concentrate on what BigNel said

If you are not finding this one elementary here's another hint, once you've decoded the first part of the puzzle, the letter is a common abreviation. Use the word rather than the abreviation when googling for better results.

Work on the letter first.

Never mind, solved it.

dumbutt1 · 01-04-2007, 08:56 PM

well, i can only find the number and the letter, but when i type this in, i get nothing of much significance to the answer (in my opinion) but when i think of the game that i think this is, i can only think, 17. any help would be appreciated.
this is a place where you can make spoilers.

You need that part but you need to figure out where to look. There is one more piece of info (in plain site) that you need to use.

Aariana · 06-16-2007, 02:46 PM

I just solved this puzzle, and I have to say that it was REALLY well done. It was kind of easy to start out, but got harder very quickly. There were some very good hints in this thread, and even if you don't understand the reference to the title, I'm sure google will be very helpful.

Androgeos Exeunt · 11-22-2007, 02:36 AM

I'm completely lost. I think I know which game is being referenced, but that's it.

davered00 · 11-23-2007, 09:01 PM

i found the element it refers to, but i don't know what to do next. can someone PM a big hint?

Just think about that element and the video game refered to, and use Google.

LukeGT · 01-19-2008, 04:15 AM

hahah i got it! This is a very clever puzzle. Btw if anyone's still stuck, the answer isn't about the game Half-life, but rather where Half-life gets it's name from...hope i didn't give too much away

Ewzicyn · 01-21-2008, 07:46 AM

I don't get it. I know the element, the scientific term and the number, but searching any combinations of those gives me nothing.

TyTBone · 07-01-2008, 11:58 PM

Arg! I get the number and the letter, but searching the periodic table of elements reveals that they don't go together! How much reading should I do? Goodness...

minmay · 07-02-2008, 06:44 AM

The letter does not stand for an element, but rather a word. A fairly generic one.

Does the letter SOUND like the same word?

minmay · 07-03-2008, 01:59 PM

No. It is, however, the first letter of the word. Think about a word that would often have a number before it.

writerstix · 12-22-2009, 07:48 AM

type in the name of the game, followed by the number, then the word the letter represents. the answer should be the first or second search result.
