I think it means that Bigfoot paces are used throughout, but at the end of the first leg, you need to take one normal step back. I think it's interesting it says STEP, instead of PACE. And do our answers for paces mean regular men paces or Bigfoot paces, and are paces 1 or 2 steps? Maybe hints will be supplied soon.

It would be nice if the scores were reset for people who submitted the right answer.

For Q31, my IP's were reset back to where I entered the correct answer.

For Q32, if it's any indication of how I'm doing, Earth Ambassador Simons will not wake up in time for the Grand Opening. I think I've already made him miss his flight back to Earth, the birth of his 2 children, and the premiere of Rocky LIV

Really not getting this, i've had over 20 guesses now Shocked

I'm fairly confident i've got the metres to dig, and the cipher. The steps are puzzling me, do we start with bigfoot steps, normal steps, or is the map written in normal steps for bigfoot, so we want to half the normal steps. I assume after the first leg, you stop, turn, and then carry out the message? Do we continue in normal steps, bigfoot steps, or half normal steps?

I've exhausted all these combinations (i think), but i'm not sure how many were input before the glitch was fixed Rolling Eyes

I'm happy to pm someone that's done it what i think the cipher and metres to dig are.

EDITED cos i confused myself!!

Just look, how magnet0 thought a few pages before and what kind of combinations I thought about regarding the step back.

If you want more confident about the depth and the cipher write me ~~an email.~~ a PM.

But for the clock in Q32, there are a total of 25 positions for the minute and hour hands. We are told that there are 6 hours in a day. How do you divide those 25 positions into 6 hours?

On Q31, I wrote down my first inclination after understanding the correct birthdate, then wrote several other combinations. I tried all the other combinations before realizing I hadn't tried my first inclination, which turned out to be correct. Lost points there.

Anyway, I'm on Q32 and have exhausted my penalty points. Any clues?

I'm still stuck on Q27. I'm just not finding the connections. Can someone PM me a hint? I already have the letters for each shape. Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for the help, I am now on Q29!
