PenDazzled!
December 26th, 2009
Though it is a known fact that the Pentazzlers of Instincts V5 are extremely sure of an awesome feedback to Pentazzle, it has to be agreed that even we did not expect such a quick response. Pentazzle reaches 100 participants within a day of its inception and the contest is getting hotter.
Tirupati Devasthanam has reported a considerable decrease in the amount of hair offered to the Lord. Meanwhile, NASA satellite imagery suggests that the water level of Bay of Bengal is raised by 1 cm in the past twelve hours due to excessive hair deposition. The salt content has also increased drastically and this is attributed to the tears of joy and frustration from the participants of Pentazzle.
Thanks to all the players for trying the puzzle. We are PenDazzled!

To avoid too much hair loss, the Pentazzlers have decided to set up a discussion forum for the puzzle. Visit this link and discuss the Pentazzle.
Avoid direct answers or direct hints in the posts. Indirect hints are good fun and that way you may be contributing to the fall of one or two hairs.
Enjoy!

Once upon a time in a distant place called Kalavakkam, there was nothing. Now, in the very same land, are a group of people who call themselves PENTAZZLERS. They were all working on nothing for a long time. Overcome by the guilt of boredom, PENTAZZLER ID#035 and PENTAZZLER ID#007 decided to abolish the word “BOREDOM” from the student dictionary. They began on a journey of enigmatic mazes which boggled minds and set the paradigm for future quests.
Three months after their return from a successful maze victory, the two PENTAZZLERS along with PENTAZZLER ID#052 were faced with the task of integrating five indispensable elements of the human mind. Armed only with a PC, two laptops and three pea brains, they began the strenuous labour of bringing together, from across the five lands, all that the world needs today.
One of them began by writing a story (Rumours suggest he stole it from a famous British lady) and his companions were stumped by the story and believed that this could well be the answer to their quest. However, the writer of the story was not satisfied, he needed more. He asked PENTAZZLER ID#007 to make the story a comic book with beautiful, colourful pictures.
“Loosu..Are we doing a cartoon?” came the reply.
So, the comic book drawings were compromised to just simple, pencil sketches which did not require too much effort but just 10 days of bunking classes ,sharpening pencils and scanning images. PENTAZZLER ID#35 thought he could have done a much better job than 007 (no he is not as sexy as The Bond, in fact he is fat!) and in return, received a sound thrashing. That was the last time he spoke about drawing.
The two of them approached PENTAZZLER ID#052 with the story and the drawings (and PENTAZZLER #035 with a black eye) asking him to help them out in making their task successful. As always, he graciously agreed and sat down scripting their works down on code. Not even a huge grid of pixzels could stop him from getting this work done. A Harry Potter story which had nothing to do with either Harry Potter or the questions which were asked, was taking the shape of a web page.
So, five weeks into their efforts, the three PENTAZZLERS had created the greatest invention of mankind – PENTAZZLE!
Pentazzle contains the five basic elements that can keep the human mind healthy – Harry Potter, A stupid writer, an ok cartoonist, a decent web designer and INSTINCTS V5.

WARNING:
Repeated Googling, Wiking and Pentazzling may cause loss of hair, exponential increase in knowledge and a strong urge to break your PC monitor. It may also keep you from having your meals at the right time and may, in fact, lead to an addiction. Rehab centres have refused to give treatment to patients of Pentazzlomania, citing vague reasons which we hardly care about.

Any loss of hair, internet bandwidth and boredom is purely intended and we claim reponsibilty.
