[quote="JebJoya"]I'm not 100% sure about that, I'm afraid... I got the impression that each card was designed by the puzzle scribes in Perplex City, and that the images were sent across to Earth - reason I say that is that some of the illustrations appear to be in the same style (ie by the same artist) as the images mocked up for the Sentinel etcetera. Or maybe, more likely, is that they know of our mobile phones and predictive text systems, and von threw together the puzzle and asked the MC team to make the card so it appeared to be on a mobile phone. Or, another option is that it's not a Sony Erricson mobile phone, but instead a key in "Earth Style" - since that seems to be so popular at the moment in Perplex City. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it - maybe it's just a puzzle. :) Jeb[/quote]

Yeah, they did, but sony erricson?
I suppose that with all the "let's all get stuff like on earth" fad going on, they might have modelled new keys on earth mobiles (sony and all), and even have "smirnoff" vodka and "carling" beer (maybe not even beer - it'd be a bit of a fuckup if you wanted vodka and you got a shitty lager... maybe they're not anything like their earth counterparts?)
It's a puzzle card. No reason to think that Von modelled it after a real event.

Your dictionary obviously doesn't have a comprehensive list of wines and spirits, then
Can you add to it?

I wrote my own "textonym" lister in perl:
Code:
# read dictionary
my %words;
open FH, '</usr/share/dict/words' || die $!;
while (<FH>) {
chomp;
my $key = txtify($_);
$words{$key} = [] unless exists $words{$key};
push @{$words{$key}}, $_;
}
close FH;
# go through words to translate
for my $word (@ARGV) {
my $key = txtify($word);
my @results = exists $words{$key} ? @{$words{$key}} : ();
print "$word: ".join(' ', sort @results)."\n";
}
# translates text to numbers
sub txtify {
my $x = lc $_[0];
$x =~ tr/'!,a-z/11122233344455566677778889999/;
return $x;
}
The results I got (still need to use human intuition, and several words aren't in the dictionary)

Here's a website that's really useful if you don't have a phone with predictive text:
http://www.textonym.com/
It lets you input words and gives you a list of all the words that fit with those keys. Very nifty and useful for those of us with less than current tech.

I just had the following accepted without that extra comma:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Was in the bar after golf tried to get smirnoff from the barmaid but got a pint of carling instead. Got a kiss off anna, but now she's gone home!

Nope, it's doing that to me too
Any ideas anyone? Have used up all 3 chances today trying with punctuation, without punctuation
etc but still saying it's wrong.
No fair
:edit: opps, didnt see the last page of comments.....will try with the comma tomorrow
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2005 2:57 pm
looosy
You have to make sure you put a comma in after golf. Even though there's not one in the text - a bit unfair if you ask me!

I just copied and pasted Enigmaster's answer rather than typing it all out myself and it worked fine. Make sure you get the exclamation mark at the end.
Having said that, I'm currently going through all my cards entering the solutions and so far Poison Pill (#075) and Arrange My Lace Bits (#105) have rejected my answers even though they're correct and other people have apparently managed to enter them and get the points. There may be a few kinks in the system that are still being ironed out

Zero Cool
The 'F' in 'after' is not funny shaped
the top line of pixels is just missing due to the text message being scrolled down
If you look at the letter 'i' in the first line you can see the dot on the letter is only 1 pixel whereas in all the other lines it is 2 pixels
same goes for the 'h'
top line of pixels is missing hence the 'f' looks different
can anyone with the phone shown confirm that scrolling down on texts can remove the top line of pixels from the letters?
I agree the 'f' looks weird and its nothing to do with the photo but i dont think there is any relevace to it and its just the way the phone in question displays texts

Has anyone noticed that the planned date for the building maintenance system at Ascendency Point is the same as the date on this card?

Actually, they have even managed to screw up the new blackberry keyboard. Now each key has 2 letters attributed to it. WHY?
