I'm thinking as fast as I can, but unless someone knows how to watercool and overclock my brain, I'll not have the thinking power to figure this out.

I have the watercooling covered if someone can do the overclocking

Sleinous

Ill deal with the overclocking. * Ships 1000 cans of soda to Mad*

 
not just any soda, he needs one rich in Caffiene
 
MOUNTAIN DEW!!

When I hear "help the penguins fly" i think of those flash games called Pingu where you throw a penguin and try to keep it going as long as possible. Maybe there is a game like that on the site somewhere.

If you send me an über insulated dewar, i'll sneak it past customs full of free LN2 for you

well i just threw about 30-40 404 errors to Shane ... lol
 
still nothing though :(
 

Add 8 more 404s :(

Clue 3

You fools

I honestly do not know why I put myself through this. Your pitiful attempts to make even the simplest word game successful have removed three years from my life. I suppose you help sparing me enjoying the golden years with my favorite dog. I sometimes think to myself: of all the things you could be doing with your time, why do you waste your valuable energy on a group of barely multi-cell organisms? What was once enjoyable, is now painful... like watching a penguin trying to fly .

12 is coming

I keep seeing shane checking your posts, you guys must be making him nervous

Shane isn't the one we should be worried about ... it should  be trust_me we need to be on the look out for
 

I have never played this penguin flash game so I have a quick question. What exactly do you do with the penguin? As in do you throw him or what helps him fly in that game. I know this is stating the obvious but its the only thing I can think of.

From the PM, I think we need to drop all the current thinking of folding and games. Focus on what we know from trust_me, as recapped by Sleepee, and try to find a method to the madness that is similar in nature to what has been done in the last two anniversary mind bogglers. Remember, no "what about"s or "could it be"s, it will be something that will jump out at you and say "here I am" once you do find it. This is exactly how I got the pain page, thinking about what was said and finding something that was obviously the answer we were looking for. Now we all have to try the same thought process on what we got from that page.

Do we have happen to have any linkage to the successful 10th Anniversary game? I know that ~The_Dude~ made the most progress there as an individual.

Give me a couple minutes. I put a link to the 11 game back in the first couple pages of this thread, and there are links in that mess about the 10 game.
