Apparently, the problem arises from the fact that the crossword only checks your solution when the final letter is entered - so if you go back and change the other letters, it never checks the solution.

Yeah, I noticed that the other night. Sorry, I didn't even think to mention that here. :oops:

Wanna know the real kicker?

I tried that solution early yesterday.

Apparently, the problem arises from the fact that the crossword only checks your solution when the final letter is entered - so if you go back and change the other letters, it never checks the solution.

Ugh.

And Rich - your name is on the Virtuquest home page, so I'm guessing you are the winner.

I still don't know if I've won anything, although the Virtuquest website is now showing faces 5 & 6 as Solved (A change from this morning).

As for donating to UF. That will be a definite, if i'm a winner.
I've spent the last eight odd months looking at the forum and trying to decipher anything, making spreadsheets of GaGa lyrics, etc. and ending up frustrated.
Then, got back from offshore last night to find some major progress happening. Spent a few hours this morning plugging in various combinations and lo and behold! :o

Congrats to the winner! :D

I was secretly rooting for you aznxasazn. You never gave up, and you and a few others worked hard on solving face 3 and 4. I didn't think it would ever get solved.

lol xar, don't worry about it.

I feel rather "stupid" by the solution as I knew right away the last word was "won". I tried all sorts of things involving it but not once did I think to use the "havewon". I kept saying to myself there basically needs to be a "have" in the sentence, but since it didn't fit at the start I ignored that thought. Then for awhile I was sidetracked on things along the lines of "usedmytwoeyes", returned to the "won" things..then went to bed early so I was prepared for my 12 hour workday today.

Gratz man... Hope you win.

I entered it. and it works. and give you a (submit) button.

Mine button didnt work.

Man lately im thinking i should just stop doing these ARGs.
I feel like no ammout of my efforts are worth it.
I just distract people, and fail to come up with anything useful.

It really sucks, Puzzles are all im good at and here i just suck at them.
Kinda shows me how totally useless i am... Life blows.

I need to buy a gun.

obviously they all have to be short words... maybe four to five letters because only a few sentence fragments make sense... so really shor words that make sense... hmmmmm.... I don't have the first foggy clue...

I (verb) (?) (n?) (n?).

First word. Verb. third letter e.

used awed freed shed viewed
opened beeped eyed sped
flexed died grew peeked
bled fled lied slew
chewed drew knew spewed
aged flew peed sued

Its past tense. "have you done" not "are you doing"

Im sure there are more words. Possibly even other arrangements.
But it seems like the first word can only be a verb.

ive tried so many possibilities. like
SEETHESKYENDS USEDUPALLEYES... ill just keep plugging and hope
I hit something. But i doubt it. Everyone gets these before i do.
