Here's a puzzle.



Solve the puzzle, and you get a prize. You'll know what to do when the time comes, if your really hungry for some puzzle prizle.

I might do some of these every week or so. I'll make em harder each one is cracked.

Hint: Start/Run/cmd
Hint2: easy is SIMPLE, right mr. caps-lock button?

PS: I won't tell you what the prize is. Just know that it'll be worth all the trouble it is to solve this puzzle.

Have fun!

Good god, you're too fast.
I'll give you the prize, and another person as well. That means I'll wait until someone else figures it out too.

So, Jerico, take out that post... and just say "I WON WOOT!" or something
(PS yah, it was a typo)

For everyone... to fix the typo, add a 2 after the X in the address.

I must be a noob. I don't see anything other than scribbles and I don't know that language in the lower right hand corner.

I know... it looks like German or something. But that doesn't help me as I don't know the words. And looking em up on a translator seems like cheating I'll do it anyway

Edit
The email was returned as undeliverable

EDIT 2

Maybe I should read posts correctly

Ok, this puzzle is done for.

1. Save the image to your computer
2. Rename it to .zip
3. Open it, and open the text file
4. Password is SIMPLE... as stated in the translated german text in the picture
5. Send an e-mail to me... e-mail address type... my bad

So, Thraxas and jerico get prizes. I've sorted out with jerico what prize he should get. Now Thraxas, we can sort out the prize for you



Good work everyone. Thank you for trying. I'll think of the next puzzle, and try not to make any stupid typos

That wasn't really hard after doing those notpron ones . I'm still in that mood, so I expected you to be in a similar one. The trick was quite... simple .

Here is my Puzzle! Thanks for the idea Xenocythe
This is more advanced puzzle.

Download the .Zip file from attachemnt.

And little NOTE:
- The trap.exe contains the password for Victory.txt file! But that exe will shutdown your computer in certain time limit.. When you run the exe it will give you instructions how to shutdown the window. The exe is totally safe because its just windows commands

If you dont like that then dont download the puzzle.. The victory.txt file contains the final stuff you need to enter here and you will be verifed as winner of this puzzle ^^

Here is picture of Trap.exe and you see what i mean:


To prevent the shutdown just type "Shutdown -a" into Start->Run like it says on the message

That was good

I couldnt figure it out with Roxas's help. Good luck to others.

Thraxas can talk to me about his prize if he wants it

I'll work on the next puzzle.

Two free 3D building models for Thraxas, which I intend to sell. Im doing some skinning and texturing for a couple of Jerico's models.



Don't worry if you missed out, guys. Im getting some good ideas for the next puzzle.

It didn't really take me all that long to figure out (about 10 mins). The hardest part for me was to figure out the last password. Finally, it just clicked.

Scared? I just did what you did: made a printscreen and shut it down with -a.
