Shell 111 Challenge

Postby Robert The Rebuilder » Fri Mar 14, 2008 6:43 am

Hello, fellow explorers! I'm happy to announce that shell 111 is finally ready for public exploration. (For the background story on this shell, click here.) Please obtain the following release of Ahra Pahts (courtesy of the Rapid Age Development competition):

AhraPahtsLatestVersion.zip

The challenge: get to the top of the central structure in the shell - without the use of flying. Then get back down.

If you do manage to get to the top, feel free to post your picture below.

Here's a picture of your objective:

The only hint I'll give is this: look low and high for clues. Finding them is just a matter of perspective.

Have fun!

Is it the same version as on the Maintainers?

If it is I got all the way, but couldn't raise the white column

Thanks, I did. Loved the toblerone elevator puzzle! :)

Oh and Grog: I'm thinking about printing a "I defied gravity and swam through a caleidoscope and didn't even get this lousy T-shirt" T-shirt -- "Thanks for visiting" indeed. ;)

Last night, Robert made a similar comment.

I'm going to for a walk to a park soon, so i'll give Robert's shell another go after that.


Still the city seems empty, look like we'll need another competition targeted toward Ahra in the future

Shoot! There goes my rule-of-thumb for translating from $Other_language to English: "Take any word and just replace every K with a C" :B

Looking forward to what you have in store for future updates of the shell. :)

Wel done Robert! At first, when inside, I got confused but then I saw 'the light'.

Congratulations, Jojon, Kellinar and Frits!

I agree, Grogyan: we sure could use more shells in the city. I've been meaning to revisit your shell since I saw you on Friday. Hope to be swimming soon!

Finally got around to trying to complete your puzzle Robert ... VERY impressive! I really enjoyed it!

as you can see... I am "jumping" for joy .... ;) ... it was a real "leap" of faith to get to the top ... ;) (and no, I don't have flymode)

EDIT: OK, just made my way down and realised I didn't need to make the "leap" ... :oops:
when it comes to Age creation ... "DOH" seems to be my middle name...
