YOUR ADVENTURE IN MATFOR

HAS BEGUN!!

In this blog you will have access to all the information you may need to succeed in your adventure. Now that you have started to wander the Lands of Matfors there are a few things you should never forget...
 - Matfor allows you to buy potions to skip Theory Questions
 - Matfor allows you to buy potions to skip Excercise Questions
 - Matfor allows you to practice the contents of every unit for your exam
 - There are special gifts/extra-points-rewards if you play and finish the game

Also, remember that after every Mini Test ("Training Battle"), Partial Exam ("Boss Battle") or Global Exam ("Final Boss Battle") you will be asked to introduce the EXP Points you have obtained. Those EXP Points are always written next to the mark you have obtained in any Mini Test or Exam. 

Finally, don't forget that you need some PASSWORDS to get access to battles and to continue the game. Those passwords will be periodically uploaded in this blog

Have fun... and GO FOR IT!!

Euler Piruleta Vs. His Pet

Euler would never have an ordinary pet such as a cat, a dog or a Guinean pig… Instead, he has a 5-feet Bear, which requires 60% of what he earns in food.

Due to the current financial breakdown in Matfor, Euler couldn’t feed properly his beloved bear and he escaped looking for something to eat. These are the directions the bear took
1)    First he headed 300km South
2)    Then, he went 400km to the East
3)    Finally, when he realised that he really missed his owner Euler, he run North and he got home

The question may seem strange, but it is not… Which is the colour of Euler’s pet?

Note: the colour may not be any those depicted in the drawing.

Dedline: Sunday, 25th of May
Printable version available here.

The video below shows 10 outstanding visual effects which have been created without any CGI (Computer Generated Images), they are old-fashion-style but impresive :D What do you prefer? CGI or practical effects?

PS:  Dragneel and Cesar Romero got 30 coins and V-Lo 60 coins solving last challenge.

Euler Piruleta Vs. Himself

The evil Lords of Matfor have created an Euler Piruleta Clone using a technique they learnt thanks to compulsively playing two thousand hours to Tomb Raider I.

Euler faces his fake-himself for the first time while he is visiting a round square. Both of them freak out and start running in opposite directions at the same speed.

Every time they meet, they freak out, and run changing the directions with one little difference: after every future encounter one of them will change his speed to half of his previous speed.

They change their speeds alternatively (let’s say that Euler is the first who changes his speed. Then after they meet, FakEuler changes the speed, after the next meeting, Euler changes his speed once again, and then FakEuler… this goes on forever and ever…)

How many times do they have to meet before they face themselves once again at the start position?

Deadline: Monday, 28th of April

Every correct answer will be awarded with 30 coins if only the answer is given and with 30 extra coins (making a total of 60) if a thorough explanation is featured.

Lara Croft Versus Doppleganger

PS: IBatman, V-Lo, Cesar Romero and The Headhunter have been awarded with 40 coins for solivng our last challenge!

Euler Piruleta Vs. The Labyrinth

Our beloved hero has been mysteriously teleported into a bizarre labyrinth. It seems the responsible for this is Jareth the Goblin King, who was bored stiff and decided to put Euler into this trial. 

Help Euler to get to the teleport pod to leave this nerve-wracking maze!

Tips:

  -   Print the labyrinth’s map and fold it as if it were a cylinder.

  -   This way you will have the chance of continuing your path.

  -   Draw the path which leads into the pod on the paper.

  -    Hand in your solution with your name written on the back side.

Deadline: February the 28th.

Printable version available (and required!!)

This challenge is based on the famous 1986 Jim Henson's film "Labyrinth". Jim Henson is also responsible for the creation of "The Muppets". Althouth it is a film mainly aimed to children, it is indeed a classic and I therefore recommend you to give it a try ;) (you will even find some interesing logic challenges in it)

Furthermore, Labyrinth's main actor is David Bowie!! (who also wrote and performed the featured songs)

"Underground" - David Bowie (aka Jareth the Goblin King)

PS: IBatman, V-Lo, Cesar Romero and Stark have won 40 coins each thanks to their solution of the 2€ challenge :D
