Bad news: Terry's house on the FunTrivia campus has been under a severe, sudden zombie attack and the few reports I received indicate that it may be in ruins already. Terry and his family are safe for now and making their way to the underground headquarter complex. I really need him here because about everything is password-protected, so right now I can't even start up the security cameras.

Once he's made his way to HQ and unlocked the software, you'll get further instructions. I fear we may have to mount a good defense with what little we have available on the grounds. I'll see what might come in handy - be prepared to do some careful foraging for anything we might be able to use as a weapon!

Update: Terry has made it to headquarters with his brain in the proper place. We now have the security cameras online and you can access them from the Tower of Challenges.

Our best (sporting) chance to defeat this invasion is to pick up some useful sports equipment and use that to drive those zombies back where they came from. The required codes to access our sports facilities are also available at the Tower.

Do your best and repel the invasion!

The idea of a paragliding zombie is terrifying.

I was able to open up a secret passage in the tower to a mostly forgotten underground corridor network. Maybe you can use that to safely get to the sports facilities.

By the way: So far, I have seen one really good idea posted on a team board. It was blissfully ignored by the rest of the team and not pursued further by the original poster either smile

It works for me, but if it doesn't do it for you, you can just go to challenges and then pick it (it's at the very top under featured)

Is there a problem with 44A? Answer should be NO, but it will not accept the 'O'.

It's a technical bug, "no" and "yes" answers don't work properly at the moment due to a backend issue. Terry knows about it.

The bug will NOT affect your ability to solve the Halloween challenge - in fact, it might help you save some time in certain circumstances smile

Thank you, thank you. My teammates clued me in on a few problems, so I can't claim sole credit.

So there are at least TWO people clever enough to take down the entire challenge on the same day it goes live. Good gravy Marie. Guess now we know why the zombies want your brains! They can just HAVE mine for free -- I'm evidently not using it!

I have figured out how to start, and figured out the code, but I don't understand all parts of the decoded code. Tomorrow is another day. Hopefully, the zombies will have better things to do, than attack me as I sleep shocked

A simple question? How to figure out you made a progress in the challenge??

I don't get why certain ones disappear, but I'll figure it out tomorrow.
