INSTRUCTIONS: Remove all decimals from the answer to each question and add the .htm extension to get the name of the next page.

After completing all 8 stages you will be taken to a new puzzle based on General Knowledge...

I can't get Stage 4. I don't know what it means.

The first three stages should be easy for any good ATOTer. 🙂

yeah, but that's the image puzzle....a different puzzle

the code puzzle isn't too bad though.

405?... mathematically challenged person found...


Took me all of 3 or 4 minutes... it would have been less if I hadn't waited so long to access the calculator.

Think of an "ice cream cone" section of a sphere....try to use Pythogorean's Theorem to find the height of that section.

that was the problem that I finally gave in and clicked on calculator.

Can't really do that problem without a calculator, unless you can take square roots in your head....which I guess you can do on paper.
 
the last one was way too easy. just basic physics. 7, on the other hand, I had no clue how to do. thank you to meanmeosh who posted what to do. BTW, what is that equation? the sqrt(X^2 - Y^2) i recognize it from algebra 1-2, but can't remember exactly what it was used for 🙁

ahh crap... I read it as a deck of 16 cards and did 4/16*3/15*2/14*1/13 😱

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh. thank you, haha i am too rusty at math to even put two and two together to see a slightly different form of a^2 + b^2 = c^2..... thanks for the help.
