HERE'S A LITTLE CONTEST GOING ALONG WITH THIS CAVE!  
  
42 IS THE ANSWER - BUT WHAT IS THE QUESTION?  
THE FIRST WHO SOLVES THIS CAVE AND AFTERWARDS POSTS THE CORRECT QUESTION WINS A SPECIAL PRIZE - I'LL DESIGN A CAVE DEDICATED TO THE WINNER! THAT'S GOTTA BE FUN! ;D  
  
RULES:  
- THERE'S ONLY ONE CORRECT QUESTION PER DEFINITION.  
- IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS CAVE.  
- IT IS "SIMPLE", FOR EXAMPLE IT MIGHT BE "HOW MANY BUTTERFLIES ARE THERE IN THE CAVE?" BUT NOT "WHAT'S THE RESULT IF I MULTIPLY THE NUMBER OF DIAMONDS AND NUMBER OF FRAMES PER SECOND?"  
- THE OBVIOUS QUESTIONS "WHAT DOES THE MAGIC WALL IN THE MIDDLE FORM?" AND "HOW MANY CSO CAVES ARE THERE SO FAR?" ARE RULED OUT.  
- THE CORRECT ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS 42.  
- EVERYONE HAS ONLY  O N E  TRY. IF ANYONE POSTS A WRONG QUESTION, THEY'RE OUT.   
- QUESTIONS THAT ARE POSTED BEFORE THE CAVE WAS SOLVED BY THE SAME PLAYER DO NOT COUNT, NEITHER IN POSITIVE NOR NEGATIVE SENSE.  
  
HOPE I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ANYTHING IMPORTANT. THIS IDEA JUST CAME TO MY MIND - LET'S SEE HOW IT WORKS! ;D  
  
I'LL MAKE AN EXCEPTION: IF SOMEONE HAS A QUESTION WHICH IS NOT MY INTENDED ONE BUT FULFILLS ALL OTHER CRITERIA, THEY'RE NOT OUT BUT HAVE ANOTHER SHOT! OR, IF I REALLY LIKE THE QUESTION BETTER THAN MY INTENDED ONE, THEY WIN THE CONTEST WITH THE ALTERNATIVE QUESTION!

THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND WAS "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?", BUT THAT WOULD ALSO BE TOO OBVIOUS OR UNRELATED. I THINK NO ONE KNEW WHAT WAS THE QUESTION, SO... YOU KNOW... :D  
  
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE QUESTION? :D

HUUH, THAT WAS QUICK! ;D  
CONGRAT nesdori, THAT'S CORRECT!  
NOW I WONDER IF THERE'S A WAY TO FIND OUT WHERE HIDDEN EXITS ARE? AFTER ALL, YOU CAN'T TRY THEM ALL OUT IN THIS CAVE, CAN YOU? OR WERE YOU JUST COMPLETELY CONFIDENT THAT THIS WOULD BE MY KIND OF QUESTION? ;D  
  
IN ANY CASE, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO DESIGN A nesdori-CAVE! IT MAY TAKE SOME WEEKS - AFTER ALL, IT SHALL BE STH SPECIAL! ;D

dustin, DOUBLE UNCERTAINTY. I WASN'T SURE THAT THERE ACTUALLY ARE 42 EXITS AND EVEN IF THERE ARE, I WASN'T SURE THAT IT WAS YOUR INTENDED QUESTION. I FIRST NOTICED THAT THERE ARE 5 EXITS IN ONE OF THE CORNERS. THEN I TRIED MIRRORED SPOTS ON ANOTHER CORNER AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE EXITS TOO. 8*5 = 40 SO I'M MISSING SOMETHING.. HEY WAIT! WHAT ARE THOSE TITANIUM §WALLS IN THE MIDDLE.. 2 HORIZONTAL WALLS BUT NO MIRRORED PIECE OF WALLS VERTICALLY. THAT'S SUSPICIOUS BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS MIRRORED BOTH WAYS :) BUT I STILL WASN'T SURE IF MY QUESTION IS CORRECT BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAP AND THERE ARE EXITS ON THE OUTER RING TOO :)

THAT'S EXACTLY THE WAY OF THINKING LEADING TO A GOOD "EDUCATED GUESS" THAT I INTENDED! A FULLY DESERVED VICTORY! ;D  
  
TRAPS:  
41 FFLIES  
MW TIME 45  
INBOX DELAY 40  
POINTS PER SECOND 32  
41 PIECES OF MWALL

dustin, AHH! THEN I NOTICED ALL TRAPS! I COUNTED FLIES, MW PIECES AND POINTS/SEC. I DIDN'T TIME BIRTH TIME AND MW TIME BUT THEY WERE EASY TO FIND OUT BY SEMI-CLONING AND CHECKING ALL THE FIELDS. BUT I KNEW THAT THE CORRECT QUESTION WOULDN'T BE THAT EASY :)

UHH! I JUST REALIZED THAT AFTER YOU HAVE SOLVED THE CAVE AND YOU DO A FULL CLONE, THE HIDDEN EXITS ARE ALSO REVEALED! :D SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY JOB TO VERIFY THE SUSPICION, STUPID ME! :)
