[Puzzle] 4. Yellow Face - Calculator

Looks like a calculator.
Input a number.

x x x x x - x x x - x x x x - x x x x x x

green - red - blue - yellow (???? just a reminder of ascension path from last night replaying in my head). But I wouldn't know how to translate that into numbers.

[ETA: 22222-111-3333-444444 did not work (the color's number)]

I suspect this one will need some of the "unique clues" one gets after buying a VQC T-shirt (but I already have one from the first open game).

Kona, I'm speccing that the answers might come from puzzle #3, or from something which hasn't been revealed to us yet.

I could be wrong though Wink

That's what I was thinking too - that we are supposed to solve them in order - #1, #2, ...

Yep...

So many numbers, so little time... or something :-p

So I think it's safe to say that we should focus on the others for now.

Malfunction or clue?

If you clear the input completely, sometimes if you press a number then another number the first will be replaced. Seems to be very random. VQC might wanna take a look and fix it if it's not supposed to happen...

edit: and if you hit Clear lots and lots and lots of times the whole thing seems to completely give up and only display one number at a time. VQC, are you reading this?

I agree. That's why #6 isn't open to us yet.

Hey, looks like they fixed it. Thanks, guys!

Please be gentle...

I'm new, but I'm learning!

Anyways, I kinda thought that the spacing on the characters here reminded me of an old Microsoft OEM license number. Not that this means anything, but, what the heck?

Must be reeeaaally old. For the past 6 years now, it's been 6 groups of 5 alphanumeric characters.

Showing my age...

I'm meaning the OEM keys for DOS 6.11, Win3.11, Win95, and some Win98. Yeah, realllly old.

Hi i'm new.

Has anyone noticed that the enter button is made up of capitals and lower case?

Also what is that weird texture in the background?

What about the backgrounds for each puzzle so far.
We are looking for a 5 number-3 number-4 number-6 number
the backgrounds so far were moon (4 letters), forest (6 letters), water (5 letters, net?(3 letters). They could be translated into numbers.

Could be clues but could be worthless.

I would assume that's because it's impossible to make a lowercase 'e' using that type of seven-section LED-style display without it being the size of an uppercase letter and looking like a reversed 9.

Another thought for the numbers:

Queen
CHaSeD or CHSD (how the Si Stebbins stack can be refered as)

and two other words from other sides.

I thought this was dead awhile ago. Please spare time for my questions.

1- What faces have been solved?

2- How do you win? Does a person have to enter in the solutions for all the puzzles, or is it merely the first one to solve the last face only? That is, does a win belong to the community or will the "cube" ask you for the answer every time?

Thanks you,

Lt Ender

Puzzles 1 and 2 have been solved, although I think there are more clues to be had from puzzle 2 to try and solve puzzle 3.

Presumably the first person to win is the first person to complete the cube. Virtuquest have said that whoever wins it must answer some questions relating to the cube before they can claim the prize.
