Welcome To Mr. Logic's
"Dragon Drop" Riddle!

The "Dragon Drop" Riddle is a URL-completion game, similar to all of Mr. Logic's other games, but with a slightly different twist: Instead of finding a puzzle each time you advance from one web page to the next, you will find a SiMPLE Program Listing there. When you run that program, it will present the puzzle that you must solve in order to advance to the next web page.

Wait!... Before you go away mumbling to yourself that this all sounds "way too complicated" or "geeky". . . it isn't! (In fact, most of the game's puzzles are actually quite easy.) And, to further set your mind at ease:

None of the puzzles in this game require you to write any computer programs. (In fact, you are not even required to know how to write one.)

Every program that the game uses has already been written for you. All you have to do is run them when you find them. (And running them is one of the most fun parts of the game!)

To run a SiMPLE program, all you have to do is copy & paste the Program Listing into a new text document. Then drag & drop that text document onto the "SiMPLE" icon. It's that easy! (You do have SiMPLE installed on your computer, don't you? If not, then click here to download your FREE copy of SiMPLE.)

Once you've figured out the answer to any level's puzzle/riddle, the location of the next level will always be of the form:

www.simplecodeworks.com/dragondrop/level-answer

where:

"level" is the two-digit number of the level you are trying to reach

and

"answer" is the answer that you hope will get you to that level.

As usual, the rules for specifying the answer to each level's puzzle/riddle are very simple:

Every answer consists of only one word (or number).
Use only digits (0-9) when specifying numerical answers.
Use only lower case letters (a-z) when specifying non-numerical answers.
Do not include any kind of punctuation symbols in your answer.

For example, suppose that the Program Listing for accessing the first level of the game is:

SiMPLE Program Listing

// // Game: Dragon Drop // Level: 0 - 1 // Author: Mr. Logic // Tab xy (32, 11); Display " 123 + 456 = ? " Tab xy (32, 15); Display "(Press any key...)", Wait quitkey

To run the program, just:

Copy the source listing into the Windows Clipboard.
(Right-click, then "Select All". Right-click again, then "Copy".)
Paste the Clipboard into a new text document.
Drag & Drop that text document onto the "SiMPLE" icon*.

(Hmmm . . . "Drag 'n' Drop" . . . I wonder why that sounds so familiar . . . )

When the program runs, you will see that you are being asked for the sum of "123" and "456". Therefore Level One of the game would be located at:

Well... what are you waiting for? Go there now! But please refrain from posting any puzzle answers anywhere (even in forums that let you use "spoiler" tags). Everyone should solve the puzzles on their own. (Otherwise, what's the point of even playing the game?)

Mr. Logic's IQ Question

In the following group of images, which one does not belong in the group?

"Mr. Logic" is the producer of many online puzzle games. In the Spring of 2002, he created the concept of the "Online Riddle" when he released his Cybertrek adventure game. Since then, hundreds of other game makers have implemented his "URL-completion" method in the design of their own games (e.g., "This Is Not Pr0n", etc.).
