Here is an interesting flash game that requires deductive reasoning and smarts in physics, math, and English. It will appeal to our more nerdy crowd. Enjoy.

Scott, Nerdy and "Trippy". Thanks for sharing.

Ha. you see the longhair on the bottom level?
Armand, yeah, quite the advanced basketweaver. never know when you might need one. lol

Yeah that little guy with the hat does have long hair and a beard.

Did you get all the way through it? It took me about an hour. Some of those questions are hard.
Scott
Cool game thanks for sharing!
I am glad you liked it. I really like stuff like this. I wish there were more flash adventure games like this.
Scott
Oh I'm rather sorry I have quite an active life and don't time to look at such things!
Cheers,

Shame on you !
Getting an old man hooked on a time-sucker like that ! HA!
Gosh but I love those things....miss some of the first computer game that were all deductive.
Thanks for passing that along

I knew you would like that. And yes, it is a time sucker, but a very fun time sucker for sure.

I never thought I was nerdy, but I had such fun with this game!
I was going to leave it there, but I have to be honest: I had to get my 18 year old son to help me with some of it! I just couldn't work out the level with the animals until he pointed out that the mouse icon changes when you're supposed to click on something! Duh!
Yeah, it gets you thinking for sure. And a lot of those questions appear to be college level too.
Scott
Thanks for sharing that fun little game.
The actual questions themselves were ridiculously easy for me. The hard part was starting the questions. Like that level with the satellite dishes. I tried all sorts of combinations of red blue green and yellow for like 15 minutes before I accidentally must've hit the right secret code (either that or there's some timeout period that expires and the questioning starts regardless). There was another level (the one with the light bulbs) where, although it was evident what you had to do, it seemed to test your hand-eye coordination --- I just couldn't grab that stupid battery until after a dozen orbits.
Most of the questions were easy but I did miss some of them. I just thought it was a cool game, and thought it would amuse some of the intellectual longhair crowd here.

You're doing better than me. There's only so much I can do with an owl and a chick; they are the only clickable items it seems. I have two channels of input there, so in theory they are signaling me when to click one or the other, but I give up as to exactly what the signals are.
Click the cat's tail first - I think that's what worked for me! Then, I think, the bird, the worm, the flower that grows and then the rabbit. It really does help if you have an 18 year old son explaining the logic of these things to you. It's like a kind of lateral thinking which was completely new to me, but such fun too!
Good luck with it - let me know how you get on!
I moved my pointer all over, I could swear those were the only two clickable items. I guess it's as much a test of fine motor coordination as anything else.
I figured the owl was the eventual target. The breakthrough came when I realized that there was a bird who was cornered by a cat, so I got the cat to move out of the way, and then from there on it was pretty linear.
