No, this is a cool puzzle game: Gridlock!

Is there a Special Relativity code or something I can put in that will bend the light? Level 8 is just kicking my ass. I can get all but one of the lightbulbs.

I'm betting your prism is in the wrong place. Hint:leave the 2 bulbs in line with the laser alone. Nothings should interfere with these two.

Okay, I'm jammed up on level 23 of the laser game. First it was 12th, then the 19th, and now it's the 23rd. I know the solution is there, somewhere...

Evidently, I rock!
Why not question something for a change?

Okay I just had to brag that I've beaten the laser game. Yep all 25 levels. So what do all of you geniuses have to say about that?

Level 25 is phsyco hard! I gave up on it a few times. I probably spent more time it than on all the others combined.

I say, do one of my puzzles. GeeMack nailed the second one in just a few hours. How much time did you spend on the laser thingy?

Hint: Both lasers need to pass through the prism.

Yeah, yeah, rub it in. I suck at making maps okay. Are you happy now?

I'll give the one with all the leading questions a try.

Hard to say exactly. It was on and off over a couple of days. I'd estimate between three and five hours total.

After spending about an hour mapping out the second puzzle (mostly because of mistakes), what the hell am I supposed to do with the colors? I don't see any words...

Can you give me a clue?

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Maybe it's a picture? I dunno, just guessing.

Well, Matt, you just gave Ricky a decent clue, and you haven't even really tried the puzzle. I'm beginning to suspect that your protests are simply self-denial.

As for your 3-5 hour claim, I've only put in about 2.5 so far, so unless levels 23-25 continue to kick my ass, I'm on my way to an SFN record. Nyah, nyah, nyah!

Unfortunately, "abstract art," is two words.

Edit upon reading Dave's post: Ok, maybe not.

Edit #2: Is there something I'm supposed to do with the colors? I've tried making all the non-white squares black, but that doesn't seem to help...

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Yes, Ricky, there's something you're supposed to do with the colors.
