Hey everyone! I'm back from holiday, with a great new game! (Because apparently I like to give away free adopts )
So I absolutely love Puzzles and Maths. I know, that's not too common, but still, I do. For those of you who agree with me, I am making this thread.
So, what will happen here? Obviously, as you can see, this is in the give away forum, meaning you can win Adopts here! And how else would you do that than by solving puzzles? (Disclaimer: Puzzles might include maths!)
But I want this to be an interactive challenge! Since I am only a human and can only come up with so many puzzles in the time that the (hopefully) many minds of you out there are taking to solve them, I want you to send me your own challenges: With prizes please, but without solution!
How to do this: Choose an adopt as a prize and change it's VC to the solution. Send me a message with the puzzle. Only the puzzle if you want to make the adopt ID a puzzle too, if not, send me the ID too. I will then put the puzzle here for everyone to figure out!
How to claim your prize: Go to Pokémon Center -> Add Pokémon -> Insert Virtuadopt ID and VC -> Contact me if it worked so I can set up a new puzzle!
For the first puzzle, let's make it simple. The ID of the Adopt you can win is 4277216. The VC is right before your eyes. I am 98% sure you have read it within the last few Minutes. You just need to decode it. Have fun!
* <- This star represents the beginning and end of a puzzle. This puzzle has already been solved. Other puzzles will be put in spoilers a few lines down below. I promise that everything after this or before the first star has nothing to do with the current puzzle. There are just a few more things I have to say to make it a little easier for you
The ID of an adopt is unchangeable. If someone was to make a puzzle of the ID, they would have to work backwards.
The VC of an adopt can be changed. It consists of only numbers numbers and up to 10 of them. Multiple adopts can have the same VC.
I want to ask you for a few things. First: Don't type your solutions here before you tried them yourself. Please do share them here if they were wrong, and share your thought process! I want to know which ways people think and it will sure help other people to read your wrong thoughts. Though I wouldn't call them wrong, just not fitting for the puzzle
Also, just like in my other game Pansage's 100 doors, I still need prize donations. As said above, if you want to enter a puzzle of your own to the contest, please include a prize. You don't have to, but it would be nice, because the current prize is one of my own adopts and I want to be able to deliver good quality prizes constantly without having to sacrifice all my special dex and/or collections. So if you got any Adopts you don't really need and that you think someone else would be happy to recieve... well, I'd be infinitely grateful for any donation! (Right now it's using the same prize pool as Pansage's 100 doors)
Last, but not least, I want to tell you that this is only a warm up. The next puzzle will be a really hard one, though rewarding on the same level. This is why the prize for solving this puzzle is so small. It isn't too hard, and I don't find it worthy for a big promo. The next one on the other hand might blow some minds, I think it will take around 4 months to be solved. But don't be scared by that, you might find it totally simple and easy to do!
PS: You may ask anyone for help. Your friends, family, cryptologic professor, it's all allowed, as long as you find the solution through the way it was supposed, meaning by solving the puzzle!
PPS: Have an idea how to make this better? Have a question? Anything? Post here!
