Finally open!

Postby meansoap » Thu Nov 29, 2012 6:07 pm

Damn! That was something to crack.. Took me solid four hours to open this one! Internet and this forum was a great help but still had to have that *light bulb* moment while looking at my excel datasheet with all possible calculations relating to clues and the equation. Mechanically I think it could be even better if once you got the positions right a spring would pop the key out. No I had it couple time correct but to get the key out I had to bash it a bit against my hand and pull the key compartment open with wire.

Now I'm one happy camper!
..so where's the invite to 5% club?

You'll need to send Evilkeen a photo of your solved puzzle with the key chamber open and key visible in order to get signed up for the 5% club.

If you've solved it fully the 'PUZZ' way then submit your full solution to PUZZ and that should get you into the 1% club.

Same here!!

Didn't want to start with the Copernisis until I opened my G2, but I'm really stuck and start getting irritated. So this evening I did start with the Copernisis Extreme. The Secret Chamber wasn't too hard and had within a couple of minutes. After this I read some of the threads and got enough clues. Well,... finally after an hour or so. I could move the key chamber, but tapping or anything,... nothing helped. So used a nail to slide it out!! Still nice puzzle, way better then the Ramisis.

Immediately made a picture and send it in a PM to the gatekeeper. Now back to the Ramisis; all help is much appreciated, cause really start to think my BB is stuck.
