 		I'm up to

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Orangehairedboy.com too.


But now it's not so easy, or mabye it is and I just cant see it.

I typed in Amir Khan into the JJB website and it gave the letters ---

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"I" "S" and "E"


so it was pretty obvious what the word was from there.

EDIT: Ive added their Facebook page to my friends list, so when that gets accepted it might show something.

 		Does anyone play Myst?

On http://www.orangehairedboy.com/ there's a link to speak to OHBot, who is currently located in the Guild of Robots' Bevin, which it turns out is a public neighbourhood in Myst?

 		Here is a complete guide for today's trail. Written by myself.




SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!






Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So, obviously you start out on http://secretlewis.com/ and check out the latest blog post http://secretlewis.com/blogs/blog4.php

The blog post then sends you off to Amir Khan's Twitter page which asks if you want to help Lewis Hamilton in his next secret mission. I guess you do since you're here. In that case follow the link on the Tweet: http://www.numeroq.com/trail1.html

Once you get to the website that the link sent you to, it should say "YOUR MISSION"

It's asking you to find 5 letters to fill in the gap in "www.doiop.com/***** and tells you if you fill in the missing letters you will find the information.

Below that is another link to a website http://www.jjbsports.com/ and it tells you to search for a specific shirt.

Now if you want to search the whole website, then this is where you start. Click on the "Mens" tab at the top left of the page, scroll down and click on "Clothing" and then "T-Shirts". Scroll all the way down the 23rd line of shirts and you will see the shirt you are looking for which will have the letter "S" on it. This next tip is thanks to "Agent Lex". If you actually click on the product, the picture on the left hand side gives you a hint to the next product, (every product has a hint) in the order that the letters are meant to be in.

Or from the main page of the website you can type "Amir Khan" into the search bar.

It will then come up with a list of clothing. You will see 3 items with letters on them.

The letters are "I" "S" and "E".

If you're smart you can work out that the word is eventually going to make "LEWIS"

So now you have the missing letters to the website, it makes: www.doiop.com/lewis.

Type that into the address bar and it will re-direct you to this website http://www.orangehairedboy.com/ Now, that website has nothing to do with today's challenge belive it or not.

What you actually need to do is jumble the letters up. I tried:

LEWIS
WELIS
LESIW and finally
SIWEL.

The one you want it SIWEL. So now you have www.doiop.com/SIWEL

Hooray, you're nearly done. Typing in www.doiop.com/SIWEL will re-direct you to http://www.numeroq.com/fdgshsghdghrfdg/uk_trail/trail2/index.html

That website will have a CCTV picture, a passprt photo and a message that says "Pass this information onto Lewis. You can mail him at 1234 @ secretlewis.com"

So now you can send an email to that address. Make sure you include the link to the website with the information on.

You then should get an email from Anna. Mine read:

"Hi Charlie,


Great work. That face definitely looks familiar - I think we have our thief…

Keep an eye on www.SecretLewis.com over the next few days. We might have to call on your services again.

Thanks,



Anna & Lewis"

And there you go kids, puzzle SOLVED Smile

 		Quickly coming out of hiding to note that if you actually find the first product on the page linked from Amir Khan's twitter, and go onto the product page, it gives you the clue to the next in the final photo, and so on... in the order you're supposed to find them (which isn't hard given the clues) you get the correct letter order straight away.

Thanks, i'll add that into my guide and give you credit.

Hi! I'm OHB (from orangehairedboy.com). This was fun to see. Sorry for the detour! Smile

But, as someone mentioned earlier, I do have a robot in a game. What's more: that game is completely free. 100% free.

As you might have noticed already, the new heist simulator is now live. You'll also see a new training video from Joe – and with all this drilling equipment and those nippy security droids around, Lewis will need to be in prime condition.

I've tried to model the behaviour of the droids according to the basic information Lenny got from the bank manager: I know how fast they can move and I know that they'll trigger the main alarm instantly if they make contact with an intruder. They're very tricky.

What I don't know is how they manage to track intruders in the first place – do they track changes in light, temperature, movement, disturbances in the air...? If we can find that out, maybe we'll be able to find a way of nullifying them.

I'll work on that. You get to work on the simulator – and your training.

Is it just me or is the new heist sim really annoying. I can do everything but I always get caught by a droid that is nowhere near me.

It's not just you. This is the most unforgiving heist simulator to date. Fortunately the new code from Anna (232121876) helps a lot with the overzealous droid issue.

Chill out
20 September 2010

Thanks to the superb efforts of the guys in Dubai, Beirut and Cairo over the weekend, we now know the secrets of the bank's security droids. They work by tracking heat.

Knowing that, we've been able to devise a strategy for slowing them down and avoiding detection as far as possible. Lewis is going to have to take his time and focus on staying cool – and we've got some Reebok kit that will really help him do that now.

So I've amended the heist simulator to reflect these changes. Enter the code 232121876 and you'll find that the droids now move towards Lewis more slowly – making it much easier to get past them in those corridors.

I just hope this theory proves true in practice.

Lewis is annoyed. He hides it well, but I've known him for long enough to see when his blood is boiling. He gets restless, he gets tense, and he goes very, very quiet. The only sound coming from him for the past few days has been the slamming of doors and the steady hiss of steam coming out of his ears.

Somebody broke into his house in Switzerland. They took one of his trophies. Now we're all in trouble.

This is clearly personal. The trophy they stole wasn't the most glamorous, but it was the most precious: the first karting trophy Lewis ever won. And in its place they left a business card - no fingerprints, no message, just the logo and web address of a shipping company. AQ Hawker Ltd.

If you recognize the name, that's because they've crossed our path before. The Turner painting that was stolen back in March was being transported by them. Thierry Henry's missing sculpture ended up in the holiday apartment of Hawker himself. The da Vinci sketchbook was stolen by one of his company's ex-employees in August.

Each time, there was never enough evidence to take Hawker to court. But now it looks like escaping justice isn't enough for Hawker - he wants revenge. And he knows all about us.

While Lewis swears the business card wasn't in his house before the break-in, the authorities don't consider it to be a concrete lead, so we're going to have to follow this up ourselves.

Hawker wants us to know he did this, and he's probably reading these words right now. He knows about us, so we need to find out everything we can about him - starting with whatever there is hidden on his website.

Click below for a guide for today's post.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So, at the end of the blog post it tell you to start looking for whatever is hidden on Hawker's website. So naturally - go here: http://www.aqhawker.com/index.html

Now you dont need to read everything on the site to find out what's hidden. I actually stumbled upon it by complete mistake but it might not be noticiable to some.

Right so, at the top of the site click on the "WHY AQ HAWKER" button.

Now scroll down and you will see a little picture what looks to be a Rabbit or a Hare. Click that.

It will take you here: http://www.aqhawker.com/blog1.php Once there, everthing is clear. Just read the post and do what it says - "Watch this space for your first instructions.

When those first instructions will come is beyond me, but when I know you'll know.

So it looks like Mr Hawker - sorry, Sir Alexander - likes to play games. He's holding the trophy to ransom and, until we figure out a way to get it back, we're going to have to play along.

The more observant among you found the hidden link to Hawker's private web pages. Apparently, we have no idea of the damage we have done - but Hawker will kindly enlighten us. I don't like the way this is heading… We have two days to figure out the answer to his little puzzle. Get thinking.


AQ Hawker Wrote


I don't think you realise the damage you have done. In each of your little adventures, you have cost me a great deal of effort and valuable time. You claim that your playing is heroic, but in truth, it is destructive. You have undone hundreds of hours of work. How do you think those involved feel when they see all their efforts undone by your interference?

So I am going to educate you. I want you to learn the value of things. That is the purpose of today's challenge.

You must complete this puzzle, finding the most economical way of filling the grid I have drawn. Any fool can throw money at a problem and solve it. Only a truly intelligent person can find the most economical solution. Begin.




Has anyone managed to do the challenge today? I'm finding it a bit hard.

I don't know. The hard part about the challenge is knowing if you have the optimal solution or not. The worst case scenario is to fill the grid with 10c pieces, totaling $5.70, but it is fairly easy to get a total of under $5. I've been starting with the large pieces and then filling in the gaps with the smaller pieces.

This puzzle is undoubtedly an in-game "trap" so that Hawker knows who is helping Lewis. So of course I went right ahead and submitted an entry. Wink

I done that too. I managed to get $4.54 within like half hour so just submitted that.
