While barcodes were first invented in 1949 and patented in 1952, it took another 22 years until the first retail product was sold with a barcode reader (In case you were wondering, it was a ten pack of Wrigleys Juicy Fruit Chewing Gum). Today, There are over 300 Different types of barcodes used all over the world.

Here are the barcodes for four different products. What could you cook if you had them?

Your task is to crack the secret code that is made up of four coloured pegs. Bear in mind that the codemaster has six possible colours to make up the code ( red, yellow, green, blue, white and black) and that the same colour can appear more than once in the final solution. On the board below, four incorrect guesses have been made, the codemaster uses a mini black pin to indicate a correct colour in the right position and a mini white pin to indicate a correct colour but in the wrong position, it is possible to figure out the code with your next guess, what is it?

In Victorian England young lovers were often prohibited from publicly expressing their affection for each other. Even corresponding by letter was considered too risky in case their parents intercepted them. Instead many lovers sent coded messages to each other via the personal columns of newspapers.

A young man has penned this missive for his sweetheart. Can you decode it to reveal where they are plannning to meet tonight?

"There is an old story of two brothers at the Academy called Sinister and Dexter. they worked as guards, and it is said that on their patrols of the grounds, they would meet like clockwork at the Fellow's Garden several times a day. Because Sinister was the elder brother, he always walked a little slower than Dexter, and so they would meet at different points around the garden each time.

When Sinister and Dexter meet for the seventh time after they begin their patrols, be at Gatehouse 1."

Sente.

When should you be at Gatehouse 1?

Internet Fever

...gripped Earth during the last few years of the twentieth century. The dot.com bubble, as it came to be called, finally burst on March 11th 2000. The NASDAQ crashed and brought to an abrupt end a period of extraordinary financial irrational exuberance. It wasn't the first time investors had gotten so carried away (who could forget the tulip bulb craze of the 1630s or the South Sea Bubble of 1711?) and it certainly wont be the last...

The dot.com boom spawned thousands of new companies flush with venture capital financing. Many of these companies burned brightly and then slipped quietly into obsolescence for a fraction of their former value. You might even have shopped at some of them before their virtual doors shut forever.

Can you identify these four dot.gone companies?

Magine Hall was built by Peter Alten in 64 AC as a second home in the then-new Magine Park. Today the hall is open to the public, but with the exception of its attractive gardens, visitor numbers have been dwindling.

[S2] [Cards set] #129 Topologic

Mikeyj@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 23 May 2007 10:30:30 +0000

Guest Puzzle Architect: Peter Blake

If one object can be mapped onto another via a continuous bijection that has a continuous inverse, the objects are said to be topologically equivalent. For the non-mathematical among you, this is the same as saying you can turn a stretchable model of the first object into the second by moulding it, but without tearing or joingin parts together.

Group the marked objects in this picture into sets that are topologically equivalent.

"Is that Saunion?"

Daniel scratched his leg while trying to plot a safe route down. the rock fall had made the slope desperately unsafe and it would be easy to accidentally dislodge more debris.

"Saunion?" repeated the voice in his ear hopefully.

"I can see you, keep moving, I'm heading over now," he replied.

"Great... I can't believe..."

The voice broke off into sobbing as Daniel slowly made his way down towards the waving hand below. Loose pebbles crunched and scattered underneath his boots, setting off chain reactions. He never considered himself to be much of a climber, and this was the kind of situation he hated most, half-crouching, half-slipping down a slope. As he traversed across, he lost his footing and slid down sideways until he managed to flip himself round and spread his arms out. Shaking, he slowly stood upright, and looked for the hand once again. It took him a while to find it, since it had stopped moving.
