The daily challenge of 2013-3-14

Happily ever after

Three of the latest puzzles in the Daily Challenges of Shape Fitter have been raising a debate among certain concerned puzzle solvers. There has been speculation whether the adjacent puzzles are somehow linked together in a not-so-friendly way. Turska Games wants to ensure that all the animals and people that were part of puzzles: "Dolphin?", "Jaws" and "Backstroke" remained unharmed and they lived happily ever after.

No animals or humans were harmed making these daily puzzles.

Daily challenges FAQ

 

Question 1: So, what does it actually mean?

Answer 1: It means that you get a new and fresh challenge every day in form of a novel Shape Fitter level.

Question 2: Is this something that is available only in the paid version of Shape Fitter? I'm not sure if I'm ready to support Turska Games' work and commit to this awesomeness with the price of a medium sized cup of not-so-expensive coffee.

 Answer 2: The daily challenges are available also in the free version of Shape Fitter.

Question 3: If I'm unable to solve a day's challenge, can I do it again in some other day?

Answer 3: No. The whole point of daily challenges is that for each day you are given a new challenge that you have to solve during that day.

Question 4: I was fooled to visit this blog. What are you talking about?

Answer 4: Install Shape Fitter or Shape Fitter Free and you know what the fuss is about.

Shape Fitter birthday contest winner: FeetHarpist!

The winner of the Shape Fitter 1y birthday contest is found! Surprisingly, despite the vast popularity of the contest (n=1), the winner of both categories was found from the same place. Congratulations FeetHarpist!

The official results:

Category 1: Great minds think alike

Winner: FeetHarpist

Selected level: 42 Harshad

Category 2: Speech is silver, creativity is gold

Winner: FeetHarpist

Selected level: 42 Harshad

Explanation:

I've known that the number 42 has some special meanings and this Shape Fitter level just added one more. After misspelling the name as "Harsh ad", "Car's had", "Hers hat", "Hairs had", "Jar's cad", "Mars sad" and "Sars mad", I finally turned into Google and found the true meaning of "Harshad". 

Thank you D. R. Kaprekar! Numbers 42, 81, 112, 135, 195 and of course also all the other fellows are truly excellent joy-givers!

- FeetHarpist

Once again, congratulations FeetHarpist for winning the both categories of the first ever Shape Fitter contest! The highly desired prizes will be delivered to you shortly!

Level 42 is FeetHarpist's favourite

The silence of the lambs have come to an end.

If the sheep could talk, what would they say? This ancient question has been troubling the mankind for ages. There has even been movies about the non-talkative character of the lambs. Finally, the latest update of Rhythm Sheep shines a hint of light to this woolen mystery as the sheep are starting to talk!

"So, what do they say?" ...you are probably already asking anxiously.

Well, to be as annoying as the TV shows that say: "we'll tell you right after the break" (and it doesn't even always mean the first break), I'll just say that play the updated Rhythm Sheep and find out.
