Well I just woke up, so interesting things to read through.

Let's see what I can remember from that fall..

Shortly after I started falling, I felt a collision with something else. Couldn't see it in the pitch black atmosphere of the hole, but it didn't seem to be too large. From what I could tell in my limited perception, it altered my trajectory slightly and I could feel myself moving horizontally for a bit during my fall (since the reflecting sounds of my yell seemed to be getting closer).

Fell for a bit after that, I hit a very solid something smack on, which I am going to assume is the side of one of the holes. It put me on course, and zeroed my horizontal movement. Ten there was a quick blur as I saw the main room, before falling back into limbo again.


It's hard to give you a time between when all this happened, since everything quickly meshed into a blur or events..

Bardull jumps into the hole that is diagonally in front and to the left of the screen. He pops up out of the hole diagonally behind and to the right of the screen... and so on

x1's body is still going through the loop

bardull can't post


a lil help: zen/kary are on the right track

So a top down view of the floor is like...

1 ----- 2
-screen-
3 ----- 4

And bardull is going in 1 and 4 (and the corresponding ceiling holes) in a seemingly circular path?

Kary steps up to the mic and says: "8". A slight smile sweeps over her face as the screen flashes green. It doesn't last long as she gets hit by a dart and passes out.

Kary can't speak

I don't quite understand this orbit thing and its relation to the puzzle. Anyone care to explain?

Zen, following Kary's example, speaks "62" into the mic. A green flash and a noxious gas leave Zen unconscious.

Ramen King can no longer post

bardull and x1's body are still chillin in that neverending loop

Observe those bodies in limbo, time how long it takes X-1 to fall from the top of one hole to the top of the other

assuming you mean measure the time it takes for x1 to fall through one hole and come out the other:

you attempt to count the seconds in your head... you get 45... no 48, 48.64 seconds

Terminal velocity is approx. 54 meters/second. We can assume that X1 has been falling long enough to be at terminal velocity.

That gives us 48.64(seconds)*54(m/s)=2626(m/s²)

Assuming equal holes, that would put each at a depth of 1313.28 meters (before you somehow link up with the bottom of the next hole).

kary was talking about **** involving moons before he died. pretty sure the last 2 guesses were the number of moons that had CONFIRMED orbits. however im tired and going to sleep so someone else can google that ****

Good lord, those are incredibly deep holes. Just over a mile deep. o.o

Bear hug X1 and Barbell as they fall past me (take them out of their falls)

John slams into bardull and x1's limp and probably disfigured body as they fall ending their descent.

Bardull can now post

Jeez, finally.

I'm vaguely beginning to understand this sequence I think. The 8(66) looks extremely familiar to me, but I can't put my finger on it just yet. Any thoughts on that?

What orbits a planet? Moons! I guess that was the outward hinting in relation to the holes and the insistent looping. We were caught in orbit.

But I still don't know what the **** that damn song is supposed to imply in regards to this escape. XD

The numbers in the OP of the riddle represent the number of moons each planet 'possesses' in order from closest to the sun to furthest. Mercur and Venus are the closest and neither of them has any moon, earth has one, mars has two, jupiter has 66 confirmed moons but only 8 of them are 'regular' satellites. Next comes saturn who has 62 moons out of which 53 have a name and 24 are 'regular' satellites.

Uranus has 27 moons so that has to be the next answer.

Say 27 into the mic

A stroke of epiphany hits the group and vandy runs up to the mic and shouts "27", the screen flashes green and vand is knocked out. Bardull following in vand's footsteps yells "13" The screen flashes green one final time.

Suddenly the invisible force of emitting from the screen grabs everyone in the room. It picks each person off their feet and starts to slowly move them slowly around the screen. Each persons orbit seems to be different from every other, some circling the screen horizontally, others verticallly (as it seems the floors have suddenly dissapeared), while the rest are coming in at various angles and directions.

The orbits become violently faster and people begin to wake up.

Everyone can now post in the thread again.

The screen and everyone caught in orbit around it... appears to be moving through space... and the lights in the background... er stars, zoom past them. The orbits are now to fast for anyone's vision to make sense of what's going on. The screen begins to grow bigger and bigger until a huge flash of light explodes from the screen, completely blocking each persons sight.

You no longer feel the force of gravity and begin to fall... into the next room.

puzzle completed =D

What I was thinking with the clues for this puzzle:

someone would jump down the hole. See the shape of the handle. Hear the two songs, the pi one, which hinted at circles/loops and the neverending one which hinted at songs that loop... (that might have been pretty vague). Also the circular screen in the main room, should have helped a bit since, i've never used a circular screen before. To solve the holes, you just had to move the handle in a circular motion/complete loop.

This was done so that you would recognize that the people falling through the holes over and over were going in a circular/elliptical motion and not just randomly falling over and over again. That would help you find out that they were seemingly orbiting the screen and from that get moons.

congrats (to kary specifically for figuring out moons first)

when I think up a new puzzle i'll update the thread

It was either something that looped or something that went on forever...

The screen being round and glowing and the faint lights in the background sold it though :)

I'm going to try and pay more attention to the little details than the clues next time.

Apologies if I did too much on this one, was trying to leave some work for everyone else, but 'MOONS' was probably too strong a clue :ohwell:

This was awesome, thanks Macman.

give us some of the puzzles from the other escape games that never got to be used.

They weren't clues. It's just how I started the first escape. It was to show that you were surrounded by other dgames peeps
