Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
Oh hey cg, I meant to also state earlier glad to hear nobody was majorly injured in that accident!

Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
I call it "unintentional aversion"... 64mb:
(4, 5) - 2.236 (3, 4) - 3.606 64mb:
(5, 5) - 1.414 (6, 6) - HIT! Orin27:BG: (18, 19)
BG: (13, 14)
(18, 19) - 8.944 (13, 14) - 3.162 BATTLESHIP
4 ships left(3, 4) - 3.606 (4, 5) - 2.236 (5, 5) - 1.414 (5, 6) - 1.000 (6, 6) - HIT!(13, 14) - 3.162 (13, 19) - 5.000 (18, 19) - 8.944 64mb, you get a space from the Prize Box! No promises as to when you'll actually see it uncovered... *edit*  What a draw... Larrikin, you've found the evil smiley! This means you get to steal ALL of the letters from any other player - you jerk! However, because of the order of things, you're only eligible to swipe 20rules' N, 64mb's Y, or Orin27's Z. IamHydrogen, you've found yourself a green star, which means you get to pick two more spaces from the Prize Box! 64mb, you found a G, which is safe from the likes of TheLarrikin... That jerk... So, just as a refresher, 64mb, you have a space coming from Battleship, and IamHydrogen, you've got two because of the green star.

Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
What is PB? And why not use both of your guesses? I'll take 6 if it's open. EDIT: I just thought of something, I bet the prize box is set up in the form of a puzzle/pattern...

Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
PB I would believe stands for Puzzle Box. Those are his spots he wants, so I doubt he'd be able to make a second guess there

Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
I'm gonna go against human nature here and accept the evil smiley as a red X (if that's allowed). I have no reason to take any letter other than Orin's 'Z' (PRIZE is one of the words to look for), and there's one 'Z' left, so I still have a chance. But this is a game about fun, cameraderie, and helping each other (intentionally or not) solve fun puzzles - nothing more. I know I'd rather not have my letters taken, so, given the choice, I'll do the same. A red X for me, please.

Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
I gave it my best, Orin. My apologies. I'll have Orin's 'Z', regretfully. (Now, if I could steal Hydrogen's... ;)

Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
I have to faithfully say that 1 extra column and row is no hindrance to me...
BG: (7, 13)
BG: (20, 0)
[EDIT]
cg, can we get a double check on that there is a 0 row and 0 column? I am assuming there is, as I would believe you would mention that the 0 doesn't exist in that one guess I had yesterday. If that's true, I would like to update these guesses, as they are based on the 0's row and column.

Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
Whoops... You are right, there are no zeros - brain fart. 64mb:
(14, 17) - 4.472 (16, 6) - 2.828 Orin27:BG: (7, 13)
(7, 13) - HIT!Orin, you may pick another space! And I would let you have a freebie (extra) guess today because of the 0 thing, but it would be a twinge unfair - sorry. BATTLESHIP
2 ships left(3, 4) - 3.606 (4, 5) - 2.236 (5, 5) - 1.414 (5, 6) - 1.000 (6, 6) - HIT! (7, 13) - HIT!
(9, 19) - 4.123 (10, 15) - HIT!(12, 16) - 2.236 (13, 14) - 3.162 (13, 19) - 5.000 (14, 17) - 4.472 (16, 6) - 2.828 (18, 19) - 8.944 Just for my own recollection - I need to update the Prize Box giving 19 and 56 to IamHydrogen and 77 to Orin, and Orin has another space coming to him. You guys are clearing that thing out...

Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
Really cg, not even if I were to tell you I was obviously going for the bottom right bound of the board? (i.e. I wanted to guess (20, 1) and not (20, 0) which is obviously out of bounds) *sigh
Well, guess I might have to burn yet another of my guesses today then..

Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
Uh ... cg, did I hit (14, 8) as I guessed or did you miscalculate and was the space (14, 9)? I would assume it's (14, 8), as (14, 7) missed by 1.000.
Also, you turned my 2 to a 12 in the second guess 
It's true that you're ... human! *shocked* haha jk man.
Told me the same thing though, I missed either way.
BG: (18, 8)
If the spot I hit was real, I'll take ... 52.
[Edit] 52 is for the one that I hit, if I did hit it. 52 is not the puzzle box for (18, 8) as there is always a chance I may have made a miscalculation ...

Re: The EggXpert Prize Box
CG, if that is the final hit, could you post your BS page for me? (I'm guessing you have an image or drawing of all 400 spaces, with the answer you give us in each one. If you don't then this request is obviously void.) I'm hopping that I'll figure out how to do this if I can see that, and I was trying to make my own but I have a feeling there weren't enough guesses this round to make a decent version of it. (I figure things out in a more brute force approch. I tried working backwards on the example of the first post but royally messed up.)
