It is as...

I was going to make another joke guess and say "as", since it is as, but I've thought of something that is definitely more confusing and possibly AGS related:

Do you actually mean: 'IT (information technology) is as confusing as this one'?

I think more hints are required before we get this one, I don't have a clue where to start

Spoiler

It's the most confusing AGS thread so far (at least to me)

Spoiler

Baron and Stu already figured out that the answer could be written in two different forms except that it's not really considered an abbreviation.

The next hint will give it away.

Edit hint:

Spoiler

What is written as words and characters and still can be pronounced exactly the same?

What? Wh..at?

AnasAbdin · Tue 06/01/2015 13:02:13

Lol the puzzle is either too smart or too stupid. I think it's the latter

but seriously that game screwed my mind

Baron · Fri 09/01/2015 12:34:01

What has it got in its pocketses? (7, 4, 5, 9, 16)

(Just kidding)

Panhellenic meeting in an expert tube for imbalanced speck (5, 2, 10)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhellenic_Games Olympic games were called Panhellenic, because PAN-all + Hellenic-Greek = were events which united all Greek Polises. Ancient Greece was never one country, like other states which existed in that time period, the only thing that unified them was their language, religion and Olympic games, which happened every 4 years from year 776. BCE.
Appearently, there were other games than Olympic which also belonged to Panhellenic games. I didn't know that.

Dadalus · Fri 09/01/2015 21:37:06

Ahh, I was thinking Greek letters but your explanation makes sense.

Once I figured out what 'EXPERT TUBE' meant, it was just a case of figuring out the rest.

Baron · Sat 10/01/2015 01:34:31

Correct, as usual.

But I'll get you crazy kids next time!

Dadalus · Sat 10/01/2015 04:25:21
