FAQs

[Show] What's Bimbogami all about then?

Bimbogami is free-to-play puzzle site. There are no prize for competing/completing, other than perhaps some element of self satisfaction amd maybe an entry in the Hall of Fame.

The puzzles on the site are all original, from the tricky mind of the Sensei or his minions - or at least bimbogami believes them to be. Any similarities to other sites are purely coincidental.

However, should you believe you have genuine copyright over any of the question materials used, please do let bimbogami know and you'll either get a mention or it will be removed.

[Show] How do I play?

You must register to take part in Bimbogami's challenge. This allows the Sensei to track your progress through the puzzles, and let you come back and continue where you left off.

Your user id will be valid for all future puzzle seasons on Bimbogami.

Please be assured Bimbogami respects your privacy and will not pass your eMail address or any other details on to anyone else.

You will need JavaScript enabled, as some of the puzzles and features rely on that.

[Show] Questions too hard/easy?

The questions are intended to start off fairly easy and get progressively harder. Although 'easy' for one person can be 'hard' for others. If you have problems solving the questions, feel free to use the bimbogami forum for clues and discussion on the questions, but please remember; while nudging and hinting are generally acceptable behaviour, spoiling is neither big nor clever and Bimbogami frowns on that sort of thing.

[Show] Can I use some of your stuff?

It is prohibited to copy, duplicate, reproduce or otherwise use any of the questions, content, style, images, or concepts on this site without prior, written consent from Steve McCallum. This includes, but is not limited to the technology (code, including javascript), graphics, individual questions and merchandise.

That's not to say the Sensei won't allow you to use it, but you should know to get permission first.
