[PUZZLE] Whipsmart Factory

two things on this page that grab my attention..

1) the order the squirts are squirting
2) the order the squirts get to the finish line

This appears to be a definite puzzle.

I can not find what would use a series of 4. The cows on the front use 5. The fields use 5 (moo's, ladies, jumping, sheep, truck - although I think the truck is the finaliser of the tune you are to create - also there is 3 lots of ladies etc so it works out more than 5.. unless they are the verse *shrugs*). Braille uses 3. It could be music notation and there are 4 notes.. however, I can not find an option for only 4 notes to be inputed anywhere.

Any idea's?

Someone posted on the forums that he decompiled the flash on whipsmart ice and didn't find anything that could begin to indicated that there is a puzzle on the site... No event, no trigger, nothing.
So probably there is no puzzle. Rolling Eyes

Hey, that all sounds really true...

But it's been speculated that the whipsmart ice cream site was updated this weekend.

Just because there isn't a flash trigger doesn't mean there isnt some kind of puzzle there. It could have some hidden code or such which could point to a subdirectory. Not that I have found anything, just throwing in an idea.

what the dude with the Moustache says

If you click on the history then click on the link to his shop then click on his If you click on the history then click on the link to his shop then click on his Moustache he'll say:

"Whats a ghost's fav. food" or summit

click on it again and he says:

"I scream" but just before the speech buuble goes away it changes to sumething different. I've tried printing screen but its too quick and i can never get it.

You may well have posted this before and i've just missed it...

It looks like "He just loves his Quantum Cherry," one of the responses from after you look at the flavors. Might just be a bug?

I still think that if theres a puzzle it will be a message, not something you unlock.

Trees - chords with notes which are letters (could not be written in western music) for instance. Pure spec of course.

With the factory though there isn't much to click on so how much choices to unlock are there, I think many have already tried fanatically clicking every possible pixel in every concievable order, so again i think it would be a message (if its a puzzle at all) So how is it written?

(oh, and his sayings have been notcied already...can't remember where though)

i clcked on that little guy in the shop (on his mustache) and he said ' we had sente in here the other day' then if you click again he says 'he just lves hit quantum cherry' and click him again he says 'those milkmades are right handful' this is after i visited just the flavours section. also regarding the ghost joke it does flick to 'he just loves his quantum cherry' another joke he tells is 'why am i such a great farmer?' click again an he says 'because im outstanding in my field'. next . if you click on factory visit on the homepage a factory appears (obviously) now if you guide your mouse upwards from where the delivery milk truck you should see a flickering lightbulb. click it and a small guy appears with a speach bubble. in his bubble it gives two links about who made the site. lunartik made the site an brandnew provided the music. you mite wanna check these out. oh an ive just found that when you go into the shop dont go to flavours or history just click on the guys mustache. he says 'this is not a game!' (possibly reffering to what Sente said?) and if you click again he says
'when i was a lad this was all fields' and click a third time he says ' anyone seen a lunartik around here?' then for a fourth time he says 'you still here?' .ok theres everything i can find on that page. oh btw the sheep looks evil close up. lol

It's always helpful to get a fresh view on things, don't worry about smelly fish or anything like that. Just remember, if you are unsure that your information has already be posted use the Search function. Smile

yo guys
i was bored so i was looking at the clouds on the whipsmart ice site when i thought i would try something. they kinda look like dots and dashes (the dots being the half covered clouds) so on the pastures green site i nscrambled the clouds in mores code. have a look at the pic below. anyway the letters i came up with were k,u,r,m. i think that trying to unscramble the other clouds could give something Smile

P.S. the (sort of ) straight lines indicate where the clouds are dashes and the dots equal where the clouds are dots

EDIT: here is a url to a morse code page
