CCLP1 Early Release Opportunity

[jblewis]

Hi, everyone!

As many of you are aware, CCLP1's release is 20 days away. Last month, we put the community to the test with a CCZone thread with four puzzles that revealed information about CCLP1. By solving these puzzles, you've unlocked this fifth and final puzzle. Finding the answer to this one will be a challenge, but the reward will hopefully be enticing: the release of CCLP1 one week early! That's right - if you're able to find the message hidden in this level, CCLP1 will be released on March 28, 11:59 P.M. GMT. Fair enough, right? Just download it here and get to work!

Deadline for puzzle completion will be March 21, 11:59 P.M. GMT. If no one can provide the correct answer before then, the release date will remain at April 4.

=NOW

This would be my guess. though I doubt it's correct.

Ok, I have a guess (kinda just throwing it at the wall at this early point)

[Click to Show Content]

Getting to the top-left room requires a minimum of 4 balls to be cloned.

The top-right room has 20 chips.

It takes 9 blocks to cross the water in the bottom-left room.

It takes a minimum of 10 button presses in the bottom-right room (including presses by both Chip and monsters) to get the toggle walls switched.

4 + 20 + 9 + 10 = 43

The hint says "-1"

43 - 1 = 42!!!!!!!

Therefore, the hidden message is 42.

Here's my guess:

Move 9 blocks to fill in the water and obtain the red key.

Use key to open red door and portal to pick up 20 chips in the sand surrounded by invisible walls.
Open socket and portal down, then portal left and read hint (-1).
Trigger tanks twice at correct time to allow flame to toggle walls.
Portal to finish.

(9+20-1)*2=56

How's this? 56, The number of designers who submitted levels for CCLP1 voting.

or this based on similar movements:

(9+20)*2= 58-1= 57 Same reason as above. Is that number even correct? How many were there?

Edit: I just watched my solution and noticed I had to toggle the tanks 3 times. so my answer would be:

(9+20)*(3-1)=58 Same reason as above.

Is there a link so I can add the level to Will's World?

This probably is not helpful for the puzzle, but my best time for this level in MS is (949).

Thanks IceyLava but I need an URL that ends with .dat (or .ccl). At least this is what I think. I ned a link that points directly to the set itself...

This link will be valid as long as the file is downloaded at least once every 90 days.

No one has gotten the right answer so far, but these are good guesses! Without revealing too much, I'll go ahead and say that counting something in each room is involved in the solution, but the actual solution is not a number or set of numbers.
