Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR Release v2.107.04 beta - Sep 23, 2012

I upgraded today, and all of my own aliases were gone.  It turns out that the myaliases.alias and myaliases.alias.bak file were both overwritten with empty ones.  :(

Thankfully, I had a copy of the files on another hard drive, that I think was only missing 1 alias in it.  8)

One of the advantages of playing a lot, as you have, is that you become familiar with puzzles seen previously, allowing you to solve faster.  You'll remember the one that stumped you, the next time you come across it :D

And just when I was beginning to think that I had every puzzle memorized I get done in by a mayor:

And on that note, I think I'm going to not play for a while. It took me somewhere around an hour and a half to get that score, and I don't think I'm going to have that kind of time again for a while.

Yes, the three puzzles were presented in a correct fashion.   :Thmbsup:

And yes, the numbers aren't a bug; they're just a lot harder to guess than the letters are. (Though I usually remember them after I've seen them a few times.)

Actually the trivia puzzles with numbers in them, and the really short occupation puzzles (like "chemist"), are the ones that usually trip me up - more often than not.

Just think, if I had known how much Warner Communications had paid for the copyright to "Happy Birthday", I may have broken a million points.

I wish I had the talent to reverse engineer exe files. Right now my coding experience is pretty much limited to editing other people's AutoHotKey scripts for my own personal - and often rather specific - needs.

So, during my last game I had all three of the puzzles I had previously reported errors on show up; only to be done in finally by the number "8":

Numbers cause to me lose quite often, but that's not a bug, it's a feature.  ;D

Plus it's educational. You know, in case I ever need to know how many calories are in an Avocado.

Cool, thanks for the quick fix (as always) and the credits.

From the screenshot, it looks like my score was: 318035

Also, my OS is Windows XP SP3.

Not sure if this makes any difference, but my "language for non-unicode programs" is set to Japanese.

edit: Apparently, I play better while listening to Japanese Heavy Metal.  8)  Wish I had known that a couple days ago.
