Daily challenge game

[ZOIDBERG]

This could go on for a while, and hopefully it will.
Every day I will post a challenge for you, along with a certain amount of points it is worth. You will have a week to complete it, so seven challenges will be running at any one time. The first three to complete it will get more (2x, 1.5x, 1.2x) points than everyone else, and an unlimited amount may win. You can join in the game at any time :)

The first challenge:
Score 5000 points on this game:
http://www.mindistortion.net/games/infect
This will be worth 50 points (1st place gets 100, second 75 and 3rd 60) and will of course end exactly a week from now. Get screenshots, post here when you're done!
Current completions: 8 (Shru, stalefish, Urlosenged, Sebas, Bacon Machine, Furnie, Smartie, 3v1l |\/|1NiOn)

This month's scores are in brackets. These scores are now only affected by challenges (i.e. not by codes or doubling). Each player will score 50 points for each person who is ranked above him/her at the start of the month that he/she can score more points than during the month. The 3 players who score the most during the month will earn 2,000, 1,500 and 1,200 points respectively.

GAME CHANGES
7th Oct: Reach the top at any time to get the golden "1" rosette next to your name on the board.
8th Oct (after challenge set): Post the word "double" at any time to risk your points. Complete the next two challenges posted after you post the word "double" to double your points (you do not score the regular points for completing them); if you do not complete both, your points will be cut in half.
5th Nov: Stickied :)
7th Nov: Solutions list (above) added
23rd Nov: Post #1 reaches 10 THOUSAND characters so it carries onto here.
2nd Jan: The entire first post gets moved here.
4th Jan: Complete 5 challenges in a row to add 1% extra to your points at the end of each week. This can be done more than once, including having 1% added twice if you complete 6 in a row. Interst is reduced each week by 1% to ensure it does not go out of control.
4th Feb: As a result of the poll, interest has been scrapped, the double is no longer available to the top 3, and codes have been added (see below)
1st March: All players now also have a monthly score, which is reset on the first of the month and is shown in brackets on the scoreboard. It only takes into account points earned from challenges (which includes those completed during a double) and can include challenges set (but still running) before the month began. Any player who scores more points than another player, who started the month with fewer points than them, will earn 50 bonus points at the end of the month. The top three points scorers in a month will also earn 2,000, 1,500 and 1,200 bonus points respectively at the end of the month.
15th October: Solutions to old challenges to now be posted under where the old challenge was posted, i.e. below it in the same post.

CODES!
Codes are 8 characters long, made of 4 letters (A-Z only, no !"£$%^&*() etc.) and numbers in any order. They are worth 20-100 points, and will be posted by me around the forums and kept there. To score, send me a message with a code in. They are not affected by the double, and the first 3 to find them do not get bonus points.

There are currently 38 codes posted, with a total value of 2,202 points (Last added: 30th September).

CODE LEADERBOARD
1. sursmiley: 1,126 (19 codes)
2. Smartie: 371 (8 codes)
3. Goom/Perkelachov: 279 (5 codes)
4. giantalbino/Oi Scout: 181 (4 codes)
5. RadioactiveHam: 134 (3 codes)

OTHER
Two challenges to be posted everyday until Friday due to total chaos during the past week or so! If you need to contact me but the PMs aren't working or my inbox is full then you might want to use MSN. My address is zoidb@hotmail.co.uk.

Random fact: The game has slowed down by about 15% this month judging by how many points have been scored in October and September.

Today's challenge:
Find a (one-word) anagram of an element. Worth 20 points (1st 40, 2nd 30, 3rd 24). Rules:

-Post it here, along with what it is an anagram of
-Duplicates of anagrams are not allowed but multiple anagrams of the same element ARE
-It must use every letter
-The anagram must be spelt differently to the element and not just a different word
-English words only
-ONE PER PERSON

Current completions: 10 (Paul12345, kikumbob, the basstard, stalefish, 3v1l |\/|1NiOn, Urlosenged, Sebas, Bacon Machine, shru, Smartie)
Words: groan, organ (argon), carnies (arsenic), sanitate (astatine), deal, lade, dale (lead), none (neon), livers, drone adorn (radon), sliver (silver), odiums (sodium), nit (tin).

Away you go!

[Paul12345]

Tin - Nit
Lead - Deal
Well that one was rather easy. :p

[ZOIDBERG]

Hence being worth 20 points. One at a time please everyone :p

[kikumbob]

Neon - None

[basstard]

Argon - groan.

[ZOIDBERG]

30 and 24 points respectively to you two, 20 to everyone else from now.
There are plenty more, remember you can use an element again, just not the anagram :)

[stalefish]

[Paul12345]

Radon-drone
Wheres the 'e' in Radon?

[stalefish]

Wheres the 'e' in Radon?

My bad, I managed to confuse myself.

*slaps forehead*

EDIT-I redeem myself with:

Argon-organ

EDIT2-If plurals count:

Arsenic-carnies

[ZOIDBERG]

You DID redeem yourself with that first one (and get the 20), but...
Hence being worth 20 points. One at a time please everyone :p
You still fail :p

[3v1l |\/|1NiOn]

Silver: Livers


can I post some more?

[Urlosenged]

http://img336.imageshack.us/img336/9670/untitledfj7.png

And also Lead -> Dale

(If you don't believe it's a word. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dale) And yes I had to check that.)

[Sebas]

First challenge:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/adarklingcalledsebastian/score.jpg

Edit: Looks pixelly, I know, but that's due to JPEG-ing, not due to shopping. I mean, would anyone make up a score like that?

[ZOIDBERG]

Silver: Livers


can I post some more?
One per person for all of these I'm afraid. I can think of 10 of the top of my head...
EDIT: Seb that's a suspicious-looking score... :p

[Sebas]

Like I said, would anyone make up a score like that? It's truly true, and it brought me a sore right arm from all the clicking. :p

[Sebas]

Lead - lade (http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/lade?view=uk)

Oxford approves.

[Bacon Machine]

Astatine - Sanitate

Woop, woop, woop.

I got over 5k on the game but then decided not to send it to you, for some unknown reason. I may do it again(probably not, though).

Edit/ Protactinium - Atomic Turnip.

Made me laugh too much not to share.

Edit2/ Decided to get 5000 again, so here we are:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c244/bacon_machine/germgamethingscore.jpg

[Sebas]

Silver - Sliver

[kikumbob]

Silver - Sliver I could swear that the only version of slither I've heard of is sliTHer

[Sebas]

I could swear that the only version of slither I've heard of is sliTHer
http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/sliver?view=uk

Thank you, goodbye. ;)

[ZOIDBERG]

- ONE PER PERSON
Thank YOU, goodbye :D

[Sebas]

Oh dear, I thought it said one per post.

Thank you, goodbye.

*Leaves thread in shame*

:p

[Shru]

Radon - Adorn

[ZOIDBERG]

EDIT2: Got it working. http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2931/winnortk9.gif (http://imageshack.us)
Get to the top and your name gets that next to it.

[Sebas]

Oh, never mind then.

http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/1496/6241scorehs0.th.jpg (http://img180.imageshack.us/my.php?image=6241scorehs0.jpg)
Now for the anagram.

Edit: Noir - Iron. Or is that French?

[ZOIDBERG]

French for black, sorry. Today's challenge will be up in a bit.

[Smartie]

Anagram: Sodium - odiums

[ZOIDBERG]

Anagram: Sodium - odiums
I like it (and also allow it.)

TODAY'S CHALLENGE:
http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/5722/villa6za4.png (http://imageshack.us)
See those people? They play for Aston Villa, and are in some kind of order. (Top row from left to right, then bottom from left to right.) I would like you to figure out this order and explain it to me through PM. In the PM I would also like you to add pictures of another six footballers in the same way I have, and ordering them in the same way. With names please so I can check it's right. 60 points, and the first 3 score 120, 90 and 72.
Completions: 2 (Smartie, 3v1l |\/|1NiOn)

Good luck. I may have made this a little hard.

Solution: In order of birthday - the first was Steven Davis, who was born on the 1st of January.

[Smartie]

I'll admit, i'm struggling to find the connection!
I have the names though.

[ZOIDBERG]

I am introducing a new rule to make this more interesting:

From now on, you may post the word "Double" at any time. Post this and the following will happen:
If you can complete the next two challenges posted, your points total will double. (You will not recieve the points for doing the challenges.)
If you fail one or both of the next two posted, your points are cut in half.

Could make this unpredictable, which is why I have introduced it.

[Furnie]

For challange 2 do we have to be up to the modern day understanding of elements or can we pretend we're in the middle ages? Fire - Rife
Or perhaps we can swap two identical letters around so Copper becomes Copper* Worth a try. :)
Oh well, I'm not giving up. I'll get one one of these days.

*these aren't propper guesses, I'm just showing I'm getting to the point where I'm grasping at straws

Finally got 5000+ on that damned game.

[[murray]]

Bloody hell Zoidy, you werent kidding when you said it was hard. Ive checked international appearances, dates of international debuts, dates joined the club, squad numbers, age, dates of birth...

[3v1l |\/|1NiOn]

I also checked heights and weights and then places of birth relating to latitudes and longitudes...

nothing.

[Smartie]

Right, I have submitted an answer, now to see if i'm on the right track.

That'd be a no then.
arses.

[ZOIDBERG]

Think things related to what the above posters have already guessed. It's simple-ish. I'm bumping the value up to 60, since there are 6 players and I like it when things like that happen :)

Next challenge!
Complete this puzzle and send through PM:
http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/1096/20x20kj1.gif (http://imageshack.us)

This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanjie) could help. 40 points, first 3 score 80, 60 and 48. Good luck :)
Current completions: 2 (Smartie, 3v!l |\/|1NiOn)
YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS BUT I LICKED YOUR PILLOWWhat?

Solution: http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/8038/hanjieim2.png

[Smartie]

Ok, my brain hurts now :D

[ZOIDBERG]

We have a new leader!

On a completely unrelated note, http://forum.weebls-stuff.com/images/avatars/1ef8b7b4.gif

[Smartie]

*does a litttle dance*

Hope you appreciate I missed the Simpsons for that...

A now back to the football one....

Football one cracked too... muhahah...

I guess I should said double, huh

[ZOIDBERG]

Football challenge solved...
120 more points to Smartie!

Actually, doubling would have been bad. You would have gone from 70 to 140. I planned it so the double would not always be a good thing :ninja: Seriously, I DID.

Today's challenge:
Finish Four Second Frenzy (http://kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=4319) in four minutes for forty (top 3 get 80, 60, 48) points.

[Hydralisk]

oh my fricking god that four second frenzy is so damn hard yet so addictive :D

[Furnie]

By finish do you mean the sudden death one or the normal one? And with 4 mins, do you want it less than 4 mins or more?

[ZOIDBERG]

Normal, in 240 seconds (4 mins) or under.

Too true Hydralisk :D

Well that was a bit of a jump. You got the Kontraband high score 0_o

[Urlosenged]

Yeah, 205 seconds, is that even possible? :o right, I have to try beating that. I'll fail miserably, but still. In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm only good at the game ones, so more of those please :p

[ZOIDBERG]

Don't worry, I'm too lazy not to give you two or three a week. :p
(My record time is 216 BTW, so it is just about possible...)

[Hydralisk]

Lol, appreciate the "compliments", but I am used to hotkeys and combos, what with Starcraft and what not.

Both are underlined in blue (I have checked the text on the page, both words appear).

(I did find a couple with NO results!)

Fair enough, I didn't because I get redirected to .co.uk.
60 to [murray], 50 to Smartie, 60 to 3v1l |\/|1NiOn for getting the puzzle (post 41) done.

NEXT (LUCK-BASED?) CHALLENGE!

Complete a game of (Expert is more or less the only way to do this) Minesweeper in 777 seconds (or less. I do it a BIT quicker :p) and print-screen, post here. BUT! It must contain a 7 somewhere.
70 (1st 3 get 140/105/84) points to finishers.
Current completions: 3 (3v1l |\/|1NiOn, sirch, Smartie)

Good luck!

[sirch]

Appologies, I thought as he was talking about seconds he meant there should be a 7 in the number of seconds.

Also I didn't know you could get a 7 on minesweeper.

EDIT: Deleted above post.

[3v1l |\/|1NiOn]

From the wording of the rules, you implied that we could infact add more mines to increase the possibility of getting a 7. Here's 200 mines with a 7 at the top on the right.

http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/5654/minefn9.gif

[sirch]

Have have now done the same as Evil Minion. Having 200 mines makes it much easier to get a 7 and the number of seconds... 777.

[ZOIDBERG]

Good on ya. 60 points to you, your total points after 2 days will now either be half (214) or double (864) what you NOW have (432), depending on whether or not you do the next two. Good luck though, you'd be way out into the lead. :)

[3v1l |\/|1NiOn]

To save my lead... I'll double too.

You take the lead (by 8 points!) now as you are trying to double your points by getting the blurred face pic and tomorrow's challenge. Nice avatar BTW.

[Smartie]

So cos we've doubled we just get the standard points, no points (because to double is to double our total with no games poitns for the 2 games) or still get the points for 1st/2nd/3rd on teh blur face pic.
I'm guessing no points?

[ZOIDBERG]

Correct... sorry about messing the scores up. *edit*

[3v1l |\/|1NiOn]

I think I've worked out who the blurred face belongs to.

[[murray]]

I thought I had it but now I'm stumped :(

I didn't have it. I'm now just guessing celebrities based on beard consistency and tendency to wear sunglasses.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE!
Find and post a word worth exactly 34 at Scrabble. Rules:
The scores for each letter (A-Z) are: 1 3 3 2 1 4 2 4 1 8 5 1 3 1 1 3 10 1 1 1 1 4 4 8 4 10. No blanks!
English words with no double/triple whatever tiles added. JUST THE WORD!
No more than 15 letters else it's too long to fit on my imaginary board.
I have a reliable site that tells me if words are real or not and will use that to solve disputes.

This is for 30 (60/45/36 to first 3) points. Good luck.

Completions: 2 (Scram, Smartie). Words: Quizzes, quizzer.

[edit] So poignant. Can I get bonus points?

[ZOIDBERG]

Bedazzles
That's only 30. (3, 1, 2, 1, 10, 10, 1, 1)

Scram no bonus but you get 60 for being first. It was the the one I thought of. :)

[Urlosenged]

[sirch]

Does it not matter how many of each letters you can have as in scrabble there is only one Z :p .

[Urlosenged]

Does it not matter how many of each letters you can have as in scrabble there is only one Z :p .
Not if you take one of the blanks, write Z on it, then use that. So there. And yes that is allowed.

[scram]

No blanks allowed, but Zoidy's rules don't say anything about the number of tiles available so it is allowed (as is mine) on that basis ;)

[Smartie]

Crap, I can't add up.
Funnily enough in bed last night I was lying there thinking "that's only 30 not 34"

I'll (weakly) submit "Quizzer" then (noun: One who quizzes)

Dazzlingly.

Is only 33 I think.

Correct, so I shall allow Smartie's. Urlosenged's was only 33.

Curses.

[Smartie]

You found it yet?
You have limited places to look..... :D

[ZOIDBERG]

Today's less hidden challenge:
Fill in the boxes. Each row must contain a different word. Once you put in the first word, follow the instructions for what to do with the letters. For example, with the first word you need to switch the 1st and 2nd letters, and then once you have that word you need to change the 2nd letter. The key:
S=Switch, C=Change, I=Insert (a letter between 2 I letters), A=Adjacent (change letter to adjacent one in the alphabet, so B to a or C, C to B or D, etc.), V=Vowel (Change to another vowel), R=Remove, P=Pair (Make two letters the same, but only change one), M=Multiply (Put another of these letters elsewhere in the word too).
50 points (100/75/60) for completions. Good luck.

http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/6638/uniquewordgameaz2.png (http://imageshack.us)

Get this and you'll need to send me a list of all your words. Hopefully it's making sense to people now. :)
Completions: 2 (Smartie, saphiregirl)

[Smartie]

I do not understand :(

[ZOIDBERG]

You start with a three-letter word in this case, then follow the instructions on what to do with it. The first line, for example, means to swap the first two letters. So if your word was THE, you would change it to HTE. Since this is not a word, you would need to try again, but with a different starting word.

EDIT: 3v1l |\/|1niOn: NO! YOU'VE FAILED TO COMPLETE THE DOUBLE!
Your score at the time of doubling was 520. Your score has halved to 260. Bad luck. The answer was Serj Tankian, the lead singer of System of a Down.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE!
This was fun to do. I've taken two songs (same album and artist) and translated them like so: English > French > Spanish > French > English. The translator gave me them (or the first 500 characters of them?) back like this:

SONG 1
Good days, I waited for it, [song title] here
This afternoon, I throw myself in and red,
Of the head she sang
Having taken down and them decline with me, down with me
Slow how, you wanted you to be had been,
I am in my head, of the head which she sang
And I wonder when I sing with you
If everything could never smell it real forever
If any thing could never be this good once again
The only thing I shall never ask you
You owe

SONG 2
What it gluing together make us with innocence
It disappeared in due time, he has never had a lot of senses
A teenager resident
Fact to waste another night in a planning of my revenge
Every tenth (a), every tenth (a)
Please, be his triscador of monkey
Another improper accident
I would leave it from whom I would suffer
I shall never be his triscador of monkey
During all this time correct itself
What you make it makes when all his enemies are quelqu

I want you to PM me now with one of the following: the artist, the song(s) or the album they came from.

50 (100/75/60 to first 3) points for this. Enjoy! 0_o

[ZOIDBERG]

the scores on the leaderboards?
Fairly well known. Like I said, the band name gets 5 million results on Google. Also, the songs have both been released as singles.

As for the graph, here is the answer:
Go out onto the main forum index. You will see a list of forums, starting at FAQs, then Bannage, all the way down to Sports and Bets. Put your mouse over one of the forums and you will see the url for it will look like this:
http://forum.weebls-stuff.com/forumdisplay.php?f=(number)
If you do this for all of them, you will see the numbers from top to bottom go like this:
13, 45, 25, 7, 34, 8, 33, 46, 18, 22, 56, 16, 32,19, 20,30, 21, 31, 37.

I put these numbers onto a graph, and it came out like that. The "high point" is Forum Games Forum (where we are now!) at 56.

Anyway, 120 to you for Invader 360, well done :)

Here are 26 pictures, each of which represents a letter. I want the letters in the order they are in there, like this:

ABCDEFG
HIJKLMN
OPQRSTU
VWXYZ

...but of course in the right order. The initials you need to find out for these things are:
[top row] The missing letter, the country, what that is, the character this man is famous for, which flag that is, the album that is from (first letter), what the label on the big orange bit originally was.
[2nd row]Which ride that is, which flag that is, what replaces the black rectangle, the band, the show, the "proper" name, the species.
[3rd row] The band, the species, the element, the country, the sport, the name of the blue outline, his (?) name.
The type of camel, his first initial, its name, and the last two are self-explanitary.

Ignore the 2 corners, it's just that 26 is an awkward number and 28 isn't.

Get all the letter for each one and I'll be impressed. So much so that this is for [b]100 (200/150/120 to first 3) points for this. Good luck!

damn... I need three....

4th on 1st row is easy if you know him.

Would you be willing to take the 50-50 guess?
Bear in mind you're only allowed one go at this.

[bmfy.]

Hmm? Okay, but you'll have to explain.

[ZOIDBERG]

Well, you have 2 left but you know the other 24, right? You may have this:

ABC?DEF
GHIJKLM
NOP?QRS
TUVWX

and may wonder which is Y and which is Z. If you doubt you'll ever work out which is which, you could always guess - that the guy is Y and the element is Z, or the other way round - but if you got it wrong you'd not be able to have another guess at it. Just something I wondered really, because you may never be able to work out which is which.

It's up to you.

Yeah, I said go for it when I had 2 left, and then said nevermind after I got one of them.

[ZOIDBERG]

...So you have 25 and can work out which letter the other one is by seeing which letter you haven't used yet then?

[bmfy.]

Ah, that makes sense now.

By species, do you mean the latin name or what?

[[murray]]

I fucking hope not. I have submitted. Please god be right...

[bmfy.]

Bugger, it seems I've got a few wrong.

Could you explain the 4th row 4th picture as well please.

[ZOIDBERG]

Bugger, it seems I've got a few wrong.

Could you explain the 4th row 4th picture as well please.
The orange background and avatar?
OK then. Whose is it?

BTW, [murray] has taken a guess. 5 wrong.

[bmfy.]

Oh right, damn, it means I've got several wrong now.

Edit: Maybe not, but ZOIDBERG for the 1st row, 3rd picture, you should have said "that things name" instead of "what that thing is". Well that is if my guesses are right, so I don't know.

[Smartie]

Obligatory gloating time.... :D

The reaction to you adding him made me lol so hardcorely.

Oh, Devilishly so.

[Smartie]

well he has only played 3 games under his zoidy ID, but who knows.....?

[bmfy.]

I don't understand it.

[ZOIDBERG]

La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo: beat
La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo (rematch): beat
Smartie: just about beat
bmfy: I won in the end

[ZOIDBERG]

I have been defeated!

bmfy 26 - 24 me

[bmfy.]

WOOT! I was winning in the beginning, but then Zoidberg came in front in the middle of the game. I used that bomb thing at I think 18 - 12, so Zoidberg was still in front. But then at the end of the game, when I was catching up, I eventually came in front and beat him.

[ZOIDBERG]

My excuse is still that I was playing 3 people at a time :p

Anyway, today's challenge (courtesy of c(:o(&)=//):

[[murray]]

I dont understand?

[bmfy.]

Have my points been added to the leader board on the first post?

Plus I don't understand today's challenge.

[Smartie]

The pieces are all stacked on top of each other.
One of the blue pieces is the very bottom piece (you will see how there are overlaps which tell you if it's on the top or the bottom).
Follow the pieces round and work out which piece is on the bottom.

No points awarded for the minesweeper one yet as no-one completed it.

[bmfy.]

I thought I beat him at minesweeper flags?

[Smartie]

TODAY'S CHALLENGE!
Hopefully not too hard, this one. Here are 6 words (verified even by GOOGLE!), where each letter of the alphabet has been changed to a number:

2 18 7 19 10 16 5 21
9 24 26 16 10 22 14 17 13 2 15 25 7
11 22 10 7 4 24 10 23
20 19 6 13 2 26 24 5 7
1 19 22 3 3 7 8
12 7 6

Your challenge is too find the words/numbers, whichever you like. Send by PM in one of these formats:

- [Word 1] [Word 2] [Word 3] [Word 4] [Word 5] [Word 6], OR
- The alphabet: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26, OR
- Numbers 1-26: PQOWIEURYTAMZLKSJXNDHBCGFV

And to give you a hint they're all in alphabetical order. 60 (120/90/72 to first 3) points for this one, good luck. :)

(No completions yet)

Solution: 1-26 are QAZWSXEDCRFVTGBYHNUJMIKOLP; the words are aneurysm, copyrightable, firework, juxtapose, quizzed, vex

[bmfy.]

Do the words have anything in common with each other, apart from that they use the same numbers for the same letters?

Technically, it could be anything, as you have not linked ____? with 1____?

Thus me saying 16 is technically correct :P

[ZOIDBERG]

OK fine.
Find a square number that is a different square number when you put a 1 in front.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE!

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8004/cuberu4.png (http://imageshack.us)

This is a 3x3x3 cube. It is hollow and so is made of 26 smaller cubes. I have assigned a letter to each of these, and your challenge is to work out which is which. I have given you clues, which I will now explain to you:

"Above" and "Below" are pretty obviously about height. For example, the yellow cube is above the orange, above the pink, above the blue, etc. Note that it is above these cubes regardless of anything but vertical height.
"To the left of" and "To the right of" are self-explanitary. The red is to left of the pink, the black, the green, the purple, the gray etc. Note that it can still just be "to the left of" these things even if it is also below them or above them.
"In front of" and "Behind" are from our view. The yellow, green, blue, cyan (light blue) and orange are in front of the grey, black, red, purple and pink.
"Layers" refer to the 3 groups - which are 3x3 squares - that can be classed as "front", "middle" and "back". The "front" layer contains the yellow, green, blue, cyan and orange; the "middle" layer contains the purple and grey; and the "back" layer contains the red, pink and black.
There are 3 "Columns" which work in the same way, but with horizontal position: "left" (containing the red, orange and yellow), "middle" (containing only the grey as well as normal cubes) and "right" (containing the blue, green, cyan, pink, black and purple on the diagram).
There are also 3 "Rows" which are 3x3 squares and are based on vertical position. They are the "top" (the grey, red, yellow, green and black are all on this), the "middle" (containing the blue and purple), and the "bottom" (containing the orange, cyan and pink).
If a letter is DIRECTLY above/below/to the left of/to the right of/in front of/behind, it is only differently placed in this way. For example, the blue and cyan are both directly below the green as they are all on the same column and layer, but on different rows. However, the orange is not directly below the green as it is also to the left of it.
"Opposite corner" refers to the entire cube.
Other explanations can be added on request. Here are your clues:

A is not behind, below or to the left of Z
B is in-between A and N, and V and O
C is directly in front of X
D is between W and Y
E is directly behind Z
F is on the opposite side of the hole in the middle to S
G is in the same place in relation to Q as F is to M
H is on the same row and column as R or T
I is not on the same row, column or layer as X or A
J is directly below A, and not behind, below or to the left of Z
K is between A and L
L is in the opposite corner to W
M is on the same layer as I and C; it is also on the same row as one and on the same column as the other
N is directly to the left of V
O is directly above D
P is adjacent to the hole in the middle (i.e. touching it but not diagonally)
Q is in the opposite corner to A
R is not behind I
S is directly above one vowel and directly behind another
T is not on the same row, column or layer as O
U is on the same row and layer as two other vowels
V is directly above X
W is on the same row and column as Q and M
X is not on the same row, column or layer as A or I; it is on the middle column
Y is directly in front of F and G
Z is on the front layer, directly in the middle (sorry)

I told you it was one of my specials :p
130 points (260/195/156 to first 3) for doing this. Get your answers to me by PM in any way that makes sense. Good luck everyone!

If you go way back to post 138 you'll see a lyrics translation challenge. Here's a second!
The same rules apply; I took the lyrics from two songs of the same album, translated them to French to Spanish to French and back to English, and was left with these messes:

Song 1 (note: these are both first 500 characters only)
WHY THEY MAKE THEY ALWAYS SEND TO THE POOR PEOPLE!
Barbarism by Barbarians
With the pointed heels.
Victorious, wins kneel.
For mark new spankin ' subjects.
Fact to edge forward hypocritic
And hypnotic computers.
You depend on our protection,

However you nourish us the lies of the tablecloth.

The exit of them all in the party has the very good time.
Dance in the desert which exaggerates the sun.

Fact of agen

Song 2
The soft berries prepared for two ghosts do not differ that you.
Supporting ghosts wait for it.
They are him...
The soft berries prepared for two ghosts do not differ that you.
Supporting ghosts wait for it.
They are him...

When we, when we go
Do we die?
