Re: Scioly Assassination 85: A Simple Test
Portal.
The bundle it originally came in from Valve was called The Orange Box.
The entire aim of the game is to get Chell (the protagonist) to jump through portals created by a handy portal gun and make your way through levels.
"Still alive" refers to the song playing over the end credits (sung by the passive-aggressive AI you just destroyed in the endgame, which is apparently, still alive).
"quadratic"...not sure where to go from here if it's not in the painfully obvious direction...
x-squared?
Intercepts? zeros?
Equations in general?
I'm not fond of one-word clues.

quadratic does have a brother, scientist.

God, this is the fastest game I have seen in a looooong time.
Physics is difficult for 99% of the world's population because they don't understand it. The other 1% know too much.

Oh. (duh)TheGenius wrote:scientist.
In that case, I protect scientist for his relation to quadratic.
I really dont think it will be anyone besides quadratic, de to the stress on the simplicity of this clue.
Maybe the sassy was trying to see how much we would overthink it.

Re: Scioly Assassination 85: A Simple Test
I am so disappointed in all of the officers right now for the sole fact that none of them posted "This was a triumph" when they figured out the qualifying clue.
