Howdy!

Hi All,

Just thought I'd introduce myself, the name is Adrian, and I've just pre-ordered Silver.

This is my first Revomaze, and I guess some of you may think I'm a little crazy jumping in at the deep end with Silver :o , but I think I may have a bit of an aptitude for these things (famous last words...)

My day-job is Software Tester, working for a console-games company in the West Midlands. Basically, it's my job to prod and poke a game into crashing (thereby finding bugs). This involves a lot of exploratory analysis and methodical pattern-testing, not unlike a Revomaze puzzle.

Hobby-wise I have recently begun to collect puzzles, with the Revomaze being the second piece in my collection. I'm also a keen enthusiast of close-up sleight-of-hand card magic.

So, what with the 'black box' analysis I perform at work, coupled with my manual dexterity gained from the sleight-of-hand work, I think I stand a good chance of (at least someday!) solving Silver.

I guess I'll find out come October 14th...

Nice to meet y'all,

Ade.

Welcome Ade!

I thought I had a bit of an aptitude for puzzles myself, but my time for solving the blue was awful. So yes, I suspect jumping in with the Silver might be a tall order. And this is only your second ever puzzle? What was the first one? Maybe we should try and guess...
I am thinking an Isis perhaps?

G'day*edit* ADE!!..(lol hows that for attention span)

Welcome to the forum mate. I take my hat off to you for going straight for the silver.

With a Guesstimate opening time of 60 hours Its going to be very hard work for all of us, novices and seasoned enthusiasts alike.

One thing I can say is you will get marvellous support from the guys and gals here. They are a great bunch of people:)


regards,

Chris
