 		Puzzly
A-HAH!
I was on the right track in regards to how the answer would form, but i realized I was hindering myself.

After going back over the puzzle, I realized I made a very simple mistake in one group that, in-turn, influenced the outcomes of the rest of the groups. This gave me gibberish for the answer. Which caused me to re-evaluate the groups and eventually formulate the answer.

For those who are still stumped....

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Do you prefer Dos Equis?

[spoiler]No, and this stupid puzzle has now got me miffed.[/quote]

I've been looking at this thing for a week now, and I've got to be honest, it's still ticking me off. I've been reading the info in here, and I'm seriously still puzzled. Some of these are mutually exclusive, but most are not, at least to me. Can someone at least help me with that part? At least then I'll know I'm working with the right ones?

Thanks,
Ted

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
One of the hints tells you the order with which to solve each of the groups. If you figure out the first pair, the next set is answerable based on what you know as true and false from the previous. There will never be a "maybe". The key is to keep looking back at the previouse "solved" groups and using previous concrete information to decide what is true in the future groups. If you know an item is false in one group, the other two are true by default and vise versa. Don't think of the facts as something that is possible for one man to acomplish. Think of it as a chain of logic.


As far as the answer goes

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
you and I aren't the only ones who's favorite beer isn't Dos Equis

You are so close. Try actual words, though, instead of deitied, etc.

Facts:
1. You are extremely close.
2. The answer is a palindrome.
3. One of your failed attempts is *one* letter off.

The word Ancient implies something in the past. like a past-tense. Also, Use spell checker. some of your guesses may appear more promising if spelt correctly.

From what I can see, there are very few statements that are mutually exclusive. I can see I'm just not going to get this one.

Thanks, guys. Got the theorem solved now.
However. I did not know this word. I don't have any idea in what context it might have even be used. Half of online translators don't have this word. Only some spell checkers could have helped with this.

The foreign-speakers-unfriendliness of that really bothers me.

Thanks again.

 		puzzly
I joined TMT about a month ago, blasted through most of the theorems and seals, etc. Thought I was pretty clever.

Then last week's theorem hit, and I've been stumped. I don't know much about beer. I feel like I know enough to find exclusive (and therefore untrue) statements in the lists, but now I'm left with a collection of letters, or a collection of sentences, that I can't seem to figure out.

I've read the spoilers, none seem to be striking a chord. i've left and come back, also no good.

anyone got any more suggestions?

the answer is not an anagram or typical word game. The answer will be direct from top to bottom. If you have a nonsensical word, then your conclusions are wrong as to which statements are false. Hint 3 tells you the exact order in whicn you should solve the fact groupings. Each successive group will use information gained directly from the preceeding groups to weed out the false statements. There are no Maybes. Pay attention to things like dates and quantities and similar (or identical) clams that re-appear.

I have to admit, I was a bit surprised at how...straightforward the answer was.


Anyone else get Yet Another Tie? (For bonus points, anyone else /earn/ it? I can provide video of my adorable little one.)
