Free copy of Lead and Gold on Steam ...

Delboy · 15 Sep 2011 at 12:02

... rather than just post the link i've tried to make a little challenge out of it (I've had a stab at making it tricky but i'm not very good at making quizes, hey ho)

http://storefront.steampowered.com/redirect/?ackgiftpass=xx7FA624yyD79zzA

Replace xx, yy and zz with the answers to the following criptic clues. The pairs could be any combination of two alpha-numeric characters. For example, 2 numbers, 1 number and 1 letter or two letters.

xx Discovered during its periodic appearance on 1/1/1801
yy Paper or cardboard, size doesn't really matter
zz The son of Iapetus and Themis may have inspired a famous classical composer

Try and work it out rather than just plugging in random combinations, I will reveal the correct link at some point if no-one can decipher my attempt at the clues at which point it will be a race to see who can click the link first

Is lead and gold any good?? (plus the cryptic clues are very cryptic...)

Paper or cardboard, size doesn't really matter

:confused:

think you need to rephrase that one.

Bad game, very very bad game, I tried it a while back on it's free weekend.

did you try A4 ?

Kosmiche · 15 Sep 2011 at 12:19

Why A4?

Ok A4 is a format of paper but that doesnt make sense it being the answer.

arknor · 15 Sep 2011 at 12:22

was it the answer

? is what im getting at

Kosmiche · 15 Sep 2011 at 12:25

Well I think I'm sure on the answers to 1 and 3, so no you're wrong I think.

Upon reading the clue, paper size formats is what I got from it. The clue seems pretty well constructed and not exactly tough to me.

Well I tried three times but I'm not trying any more in case I bugger my Steam account for attempting hacking.

I went with DP (dwarf planet), A4 and FL (Franz Liszt)

Don't agree at all. Get a group of mates playing 3v3 or 4v4 and it's a great laugh.

Would never play it online with randoms (think it's pretty dead) but at LAN it can be massive fun.

Yes, A4 is the answer.

EDIT: Hint: #1 & #3 answers consist of numbers only.

This is too hard

GlacierMint · 15 Sep 2011 at 14:14

LOL - Pretty sure I know the answer but no Steam at work

PESolution · 15 Sep 2011 at 16:17

Is the first clue 46?

arknor · 15 Sep 2011 at 16:52

41 A4 43 (or 60) ?

guessing i was right it says someone claimed it already?

ic1male · 15 Sep 2011 at 16:54

Explain how you get your answer as I haven't a clue.

arknor · 15 Sep 2011 at 16:57

actually its "ceres" and probably 87

A4 as he already said

The Creatures of Prometheus (German: Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus, Op. 43) is a ballet composed in 1801 by Ludwig van Beethoven

but i could be wrong about the first one

arknor · 15 Sep 2011 at 17:05

woot i win

58 A4 43

the first one was based on the discovery of "ceres" more luck i tried 87 as the guy was searching for the 87th star , then 24 but didnt give up

i discovered "ceres" was almost on the periodic table but had to have its name changed to "cerium" because of the planet already beeing called ceres

guess i wasnt far off on my first few tries looking at the periodic table discoveries (at first i thought it was niobium)

ic1male · 15 Sep 2011 at 17:06

So where the heck does 58 come from?
