How on earth was the answer to the last LC "Scorchio"? I solved the code and it said to look at the user look-up for the pet thisweeksLC (or some such thing). The look-up asked a question using the same code, and I definitely remember the answer being the Library Faerie. What the heck????

The clue reads to look at the PET WEB PAGE of the user thisweekslc.
If you go to the pet's webpage, you get a different clue.

I got it wrong too. And I was so excited that I was solving a too-easy Conundrum. I sure learned my lesson. :(

Ooh, I think that means if you get one of the Goodie bags it gives you a hat you can put on your Neopets. ^^

That's correct. Scorchio was the answer because it asked what was the main neopet in Petpet Rescue. That was the question in more words or less for everyone that doesn't want to solve it. I'm sorry that some people didn't get it. :(

I did look at what I thought was the pet's webpage, but there was no clue there -- just the default pet lookup. I guess I don't know how to go to a pet's webpage. I searched for the user, then clicked on the pet's name. Obviously this was wrong. So how DO you look at a "pet's webpage"?

On every pet's lookup there's a "visit pet's web page" icon, located at the bottom of the Statistics box. The icon is a blue Lupe's head, I'm sure you'll notice it :)

Thanks, munduses. Sometimes I'm so blind. I should have been more patient and looked harder. Thanks again!

And a bit sad that the toy shop only stocks 1 goodie bag at a time. I got as far as to the haggle page before it got sold out, though. Mission impossible :roll:

I don't know if this is a glitch or some intended gesture of celebration, but you can STILL send game scores five times a day and get twice as many RE's. I don't have the birthday site theme anymore, but I still have its effects and so does everyone else I've talked to.

Sending 5x a day will happen for a week (starting on the 15th). So until next Thursday, you should be able to send 5x.
As for the REs...maybe they're being nice? {shrugs}
