Why does Sekhmet get to have a .gif avatar? :( (reply)

I'm a little shocked that wasn't the first thing you tried.

She probably should've thought of that, but that was the subject (or the solution?) to Sekhmet's last puzzle, so it would be... I don't know, for some reason I don't think it'll be used again, at least not in the near future.
edit: oh, you mean having a GIF avatar-- yeah, that would've been a good though too >_> :D

I've been partly giving up and partly still trying things and I read this thread a little earlier today and the rest just now, having held off thinking someone got it days ago and there would be hints or clues-- but no, it was stuff I figured out, stuff I didn't figure out that was irrelevant, and some information from Sekhmet that was fairly helpful (and some that was counter-productive), and it was figured out just over a day ago-- and I imagined pictures, text, and numbers, but never this. Congratulations, BeingU, you earned it, whatever "it" is.

Congratulations!

The final process was a bit unexpected but I can finally rest easy knowing it was solved.

A very unexpected answer (probably why it took so long... as somebody mentioned they had already joked about this). But now that this thread is "completed" I don't feel bad about going slightly off-topic:

Hurrah! Yaaaaaay!

Thanks /Sekhmet/, that was fun. =)

And thanks to everyone else who helped in the puzzle cracking!

I'll be sure to let you know the details of my /chicken dinner/ once I find out.

Congrats! (reply)

Well done on this one. I never thought we would take 4 days only to find out later the puzzle was a whole lot simpler than we thought it was going to be. I'm impressed you were able figure out that all that we needed to do once we got the base square roots was to just connect everything that equaled 7.

Very impressive, and yes, that goes out to everyone else here that's worked on this as well. This one sure was a doozy. Tell us what your prize ends up being! I am quite curious because I think I know what it might be, but I'm not totally sure on that.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER. (reply)

/Sekhmet/ — Sun, 04 May 2014 07:22:55 +0000

The 3 x 1 boxes can be positioned to cover all the places where the numbers add up to 7.
Is the answer 42 ?

Oh dear, I'm afraid I was playing with my Mandelbrots again and lost track of time!

PERFECT, Guardian BeingU! Please send me an email (my address is in my profile) so that I may arrange delivering the victory parcel to your coordinates.

Another job well done, Guardians.

Haha...that's great! I'm terrible at these things but this was exciting to watch. Nice job ya'll.

BeingU — Sun, 04 May 2014 01:32:56 +0000

I swear BeingU if you win a Destiny branded towel this puzzle will be officially perfect.

It could have a picture of the Traveller next to a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias.

Just in case. (reply)

For those of you who don't know the magnificence that is "42", in the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" a supercomputer, Deep Thought, is tasked with the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything"

The answer returns to be 42.

When the beings reacted with surprise the computer made note that the reason it seemed meaningless is because they failed to consider what "the question" actually is. This would be fitting - since in this case here we have never had a question of sorts to go off of - just data.

Aha! I see it now, very clever!

I was trying to add up the numbers, not look at the shape the boxes made.
