Hey guys!
I found this online riddle game. I figured people on this forum might like it. You need to be a good thinker to solve this baby.
Just enter transylvania and try to find an answer to the riddle you get by looking at the given picture, reading the text, checking the source code, searching google etc.
It's fun!
www.draculasriddle.co.uk
(for some reason the author decided to put a piece of music in the background of the main page so for you with slow connection it might take a while to load)
Good luck!
I'm currently on level 2, can't seem to get passed it. Let me know if you find something out!
Stuck on L2 also...
EDIT, I found a clue that says "bag zip"... I have no idea WTH that means

Sadly can never do any of these internet games, not geeky enough, they always involve knowledge of HTML or something, I like puzzles but when it goes PC nerd I go south. Ah level 8 oh bugger I need to know how to do what in the what in the where why?
Can someone for once put up an internet riddle where you don't have to have some knowledge of some obscure code or an ability with wierd out of the ordinary PC knowledge, just your brain and a search engine, even my technophobia can cope with that.:biggrin:
Where did you find this clue? :biggrin: Because I seem to be stuck on L2 as well.
Bottom left-hand corner...flipped vertically
V spoilers V
bag.zip has 3 files....one of them an .xxx file extension...
Message.txt says
"not all letters in a word are important...
Not All Letters In A Word Are Important..."
A Bag.txt says
"The content of this Silk Bag seems to be usable somewhere in Sadam Woods.
--- What could be the correct extension for a decryption tool? ---"
Any ideas...?
Spoiler
I used vi to edit the file and it seems to be a truetype font file. The extension would be ttf.
Using a font editor the following letters are bolded. The rest are normal.
L, W, S, O, R, V, E, c, d, e, p, R, t, y

yeah i found this too.. hmm it says you're in the haunted forest of veros.. to me it seems the author is trying to tell us that that silk bag thing is not to be used here... hmm not all letters in a word are important... haha that's a stupid thing to say, i'm sure it means something :s

Theriver and that's it I'm not helping any more :smile: enter it not as an extension but before the extension useless words take the letters out of the first words.
Are yet the OK.
EDIT: Gale look at the words without are the yet, the first letters spell the river.
VVV posted after me, it's a red herring the bag thing.
SPOILER
Gosh, i thought the letter clue was easy, but i dunno how to read that file even though dduardo said what the extension is... i dunno how to change it..
anyway, they next level is theriver. its the first letters of the words on the page, but for some reason it skips some of the words.. i dunno. but now on to level three.

May7-06, 05:28 PM
gale: hehe the text underneath.. we "ARE" "YET" "THE" useless words.
it's a bit of a long shot..
thanks...I've been playing with words and stuff...now that I look at it...it' very obvious..
Can anybody make out the text in the bottom right of the picture? (on the river level) This laptop screen is pretty crappy.
There was metadata in the file that said which editor the guy used. The program is called Font Creator 5.0. I had to use WINE to run it in Linux. Here is a screenshoot of the window:

Okay, you guys need to learn to type in gray if you're going to share spoilers. :rolleyes:
[color=#ededed] is gray.
woo, i'm cruisin, level four now.
I can't make it out....but I made a wild guess and put >> styx.htm and I got a page that said "learn about it"
i didn't even need the dumb extension thing, just common sense...
anyway, for the river level the word on the bottom right is lamentation.
Moonbear, I fixed all the posts.

May7-06, 05:43 PM
okay i made it to 5.. this is going sweet
i'm still stuck on four. is the main text the only clue?
Spoiler
for the river level, find the name of the river they're talking about. then google that. then see the text at the bottom of the page? answer that riddle and type it into the address.
so...spoilers for level 3:
what format do I put the answer in(100 years)?
Schrodinger's Dog
May7-06, 06:00 PM
hehe thanks gail did styx then ahhh I see? Been there seen it done it googled the river name got some info about rivers and then googled all the other river names, and then I saw your spoiler? Riddle where all I see is obscure websites? I guess I wasn't cut out for this type of thing, good luck guys and girls, I know when I'm beat. Anyway sooner or later I'll get to lvl 8 and it'll demand I know some obscure stuff about whatever HTML wise, and I'll fail, I don't like the internet riddles there just too reliant on spoilers and frankly that's not what a riddle is about for me. Don't want to spoil your fun enjoy :biggrin:
so...spoilers for level 3:
what format do I put the answer in(100 years)?
Spoilers for level 3
100 years is not even the answer. Read the question carefully, it says curse of SILENCE. Try looking up styx and reading about what happens when you drink of its water.
yomamma and schrodingers dog, google styx river, its the very first link. i dunno where you got 100 years, but thats not the right answer. this is a great link cause you can see how all the other clues on the page fit in too. also schrodinger's dog, i don't know anything at all about html coding either so you'll be as good at this as me... i'm still stuck on four, so you guys hurry up and help me.
Gale,
the answer to 4 is shadow. That is a neat little riddle.
grrr, i can't believe i didn't think of that. thanks!

May7-06, 06:23 PM
Argh!!! I give up. I got to level 3, and can see there's some sort of text/symbols on the image, but I can't even make out what it is...the colors are just too similar to the background. I could barely make it out on level 2 too. I like these puzzles, but it's hurting my eyes too much to work on this one.
So...
I don't know if this means anything but the 4 numbers you get from taking each number to the (1/4) power are 13, 17, 19, and 23.(on level 5) Does anybody have anything?
Level 5:
13^4 = 28561
17^4 = 83521
19^4 = 130321
23^4 = 279841
Prime? Odd?
4th powers of primes
Level 5:
13^4 = 28561
17^4 = 83521
19^4 = 130321
23^4 = 279841
Prime? Odd?
lol
I had typed in prime and it was incorrect and then after reading this i typed in primenumbers and it was right. :biggrin:
I found a clue for a future riddle:
http://www.draculasriddle.co.uk/jova/oldoak-b.jpg
I figured out riddle 6:
palindrome
[edit] I'm on fire now. Riddle 7:
The link is within the source code
Riddle 8:
impaler
where and how did you find that? i mean the picture.
The picture for riddle 6 was oldoak-a.jpg. I figured there must be a oldoak-b.jpg
I can't figure out the keyword for Riddle 9. I believe I found the context:
That was not a forest, that were the impaled inhabitants of Tirgoviste!

try stakes
psst : what's the color that hides this best ? White doesn't work too well...
I fixed it for you. The color is [COLOR=#ededed]
Gokul43201
May7-06, 07:20 PM
I fixed it for you. The color is [COLOR=#ededed]Got it...thanks !
Any ideas on the next one ?
Change stakes.htm to stakes.mp3
It is hard for me to decipher what they are saying. Are they saying:"Take me out of here?"
Gokul43201
May7-06, 07:26 PM
"Take me away"
yeah, i think for level 8 its referencing beethoven's 9th symphony. but then that has nothing to do with the stuff in the source code. so maybe i'm wrong.
Yeah, that is one freaky voice though lol.
Gokul43201
May7-06, 07:33 PM
Gale That was my guess too, so I tried choral.htm and beethoven.htm - neither worked
yeah, i tried that too, i think maybe its the sixth
now.. but i can't get that to work either. grr, stuck... do you think the stuff in the source code means anything?
Wind? Rain? What comes next? Thunder?
Gokul43201
May7-06, 07:52 PM
That doesn't seem to be it either.
Okay...got it...never mind. Should've got it before !
<<tempest>>
How the heck did you get that? Wow
[edit] It looks like we are nearing the end. The flow of the story has been following Castlevania II pretty well.
The next one is:
directions, if you didn't know...
yeah, i noticed that too. all i get with google are hints for that game.

May7-06, 08:33 PM
Any luck with the name ?
Nope, still working on it.
ok, so for figuring out this guys name. clue 6 says that the 6th and 7th letters are in Am, so they're ACE. then clue 9 says that if you saw the world through a mirror the fifth note is i.. but the fifth note backwards is the 6th note, which has to be ACE... so i don't get it... other than that, i used the chart dduardo posted early for clue 5. clue 2 is m? what else would it be?? for 7 i took away the letters that appear in frozen from fire and got i. and you 'c' when you open your eyes. thats all i've got so far.
so...SPOILERS AHEAD
The first letter is C...I think that the third letter is W...any luck with the others?
Gale, i'm not sure you can trust the table I posted a page back. I don't think we were supposed to see that until later.
Yomamma, yes, the M would be inverted.
okay...I got more:
Clue #2 s self-explanitory, it's W
Clue #4 says to take the achievable(possible) away from the impossible. impossible-possible= im
Clue #5 say it's in place. (1,6) first row of your keyboard, siz letters in is y
Clue #8 says the first letter is what you do when you open your eyes, c
Clue #9 say if you saw the world through a mrror, letter 5 would be i. since there are 7 letters total, letter 5 is 2 away from the end...but in a mirror, letter 3 is what we're looking for, so letter 3 is i.
Which means: C-IWY--
since there are only clues for the first seven, no.
yomamma, you got I and W reversed.
Clue 4 gives you positions 3 and 4:
M and I
but clue 2 gives you position 3:
M flipped which is W
Gokul43201
May7-06, 09:01 PM
there are 10 letters in the name, so (in the mirror) 5 goes to 6
there's only seven letters...that it tells you
i get letters overlapping a lot.. i dunno..
there are 10 letters in the name, so (in the mirror) 5 goes to 6
Yes, that is what I was saying...but this doesn't make any sense.
<If letters 6 and 7 are from the minor chord of 440 hz, then letter 6 simply cannot be I, since I is not a musical note. Right?>
P.S. On the main page containing the clues, is states that "my name has ten letters."
yomamma is using clue 3 to say how many letters there are.
Gokul43201
May7-06, 09:09 PM
Could the fifth letter in (1,6) be R from the Vigenere grid dd discovered earlier ?
Lotsa possible contradictions between the clues. Only fairly sure abt C_W...
yomamma is using clue 3 to say how many letters there are.How does that work ?
Grr...gotta go now...
no one's gotten any further?
no one's gotten any further?
Not really, I'm about ready to start trying random ten letter words that begin with C. It could take a very long time...but maybe not as long as getting it from these clues...:rofl:
Gokul43201
May7-06, 10:00 PM
I'm back...and I bring trouble :
<<"There is a large street in the place where I rest...remove it and you shall have the first two letters of my name..."
place where I rest = grave
large street = ave (for avenue)
grave - ave = gr : first 2 letters !! >>
what the... ??
yah... whyd you have to come back, that doesn't help at all......
It is very curious that no one has ever completed this...enigma (according to the homepage). Either this has been recently developed or maybe it is simply impossible to complete. Clue 8 states that the first letter of my name is what you do when you open your eyes. The obvious answer to this is see or "c", but the grave - ave makes perfect sense for the first clue. Up until now this puzzle has been addicting...but this last part is extremely ambiguous. So I'm either up for introducing an extremely methodical approach to tackle this problem...or admitting that this guy may be playing with our heads. </conspiracy theory>:rofl:
i got it guys!!!!
i have no idea what the clues meant, but cause of gokul i figured it out

Omega, yeah you get that from the TTF font file from the silk bag
Gokul43201
May7-06, 10:32 PM
Or from a monoalphabetic substitution cipher...which is way harder to crack.
Next one : <<tongue of the dead = Latin ?
Only latin I see are the words undique and nex.
Undique = everywhere, or more accurately (from) all sides.
What's nex ? Some form of nexus ? >>
Edit : Just noticed the symbols on top-left...
nex = death in latin
Death from all sides?
The answer is
<<deatheverywhere>>
What is the origin of the text on the next page? Same?
I think the text is greek.
[edit] musae is latin spelling, but the meaning of the word has greek origns

I feel stupid (Although it is late...). I can't even get past the first level...
Did anyone else notice that the url changed to something completely different then what we typed in before? Maybe it's a hint
Gokul43201
May7-06, 10:53 PM
"eum" is also Latinic, isn't it ?
But I don't think any of those are real latin words. I don't know if they're greek, but I doubt it.
On the other hand (except for valnirta, about which I'm clueless), the other words are either phonetically too well-constructed or otherwise based off known words for them to be encryptions...
PS : Yes, I noticed the url change...
dd : Any silk bag (whatever the hell those are) tricks up your sleeve ?
Yeah I noticed that...and is it just me, or do you see a face on the left side of the text?
Gokul43201
May7-06, 10:58 PM
I see it too...only after you pointed it out though.
gokul, I don't think this has anything to do with the silk bag. I posted the output of the font file on the first page:
http://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=982433&postcount=14
i think it just shows too many letters and the word is hidden amongst them.
Perhaps the letters are out of order and need to be rearranged?
Maybe, but I do agree with Gale, because your "vision is diminished by the fog, yet you see too much."
well it says we see too much... so i assume some aren't necessary at all. and some are faded, so i was working with that. and then the url made me think every other, but nothing i've tried works
I played around with the levels on the image to make the dark and light letters more obvious:
The dark letter are:
e, i, a, s, c, o, n, n, u, v, n, r, a ,s ,u, s
The bright letters are:
n, g, m, t, u, e, m, a, l , i, t, o u, t, m, a, e
There 6 bright pairs:
GM, TU, AL, OU, TM, AE
There are 5 bright singles:
N, E, M, I, T
this sucks... no one? anyone have a clue?
I'm trying. It feels like we are getting close because the riddles have gotten very difficult.
maybe we're all just tired... this doesn't seem like it should be a hard puzzle.
Nothing I try seems to make "quite" enough sense...there has to be something else to it. But yes, it feels like we are getting close. This is one of the most entertaining online riddles/puzzles I have ever played.
The bright letters in valnirta spells: tail
The bright letter in contuneum spells: mute
well whats everyone trying? maybe some of our methods combined will make some more sense? i feel like we're just missing something simple here...
has anyone highlighted the bottom? it says "remove the zeroes" but I tried removing the zeroes in the URL but it told me that I was removing the wrong zeroes..
has anyone highlighted the bottom? it says "remove the zeroes" but I tried removing the zeroes in the URL but it told me that I was removing the wrong zeroes..
Whoa...I can't believe I didn't highlight that. I knew it was strange that it had extra room down there.
wow, good one! this is the first page i haven't highlighted... curses!! so lets see now..
Has anbody been keeping track of the numbers in the source code...? They were in between comment tags...the one on this level says 12
yeah, they're the number of the level.
Based on castlevania 2 ,"13 clues solve Dracula's Riddle." I think we are really close since we are at 12
oh...I thought I saw 7 several times...
What about those numbers and letters on the first page?
http://www.draculasriddle.co.uk/veros/darkforest.jpg
oh...I thought I saw 7 several times...
I believe that the 7th riddle had multiple parts.
Perhaps the X and 0 are alternating bright and dark?
its alternating something.. but before i even knew about the zeros hint i was trying to cross out every other letter in whatever i did.
BIG CLUE!
i wrote in eimscnuemvlitosmse which is every other letter of each word, and it says transpose the matric and read row by row
well, if you alternate letters and erase every other letter starting with #2, you get Eims Otnu Vlit Osmse..
whoops, gale already got it
cmon, anyone figure out how the mean to transpose the matrix, nothing i try is working.
I got it...the anser is evilmistconsumesme.htm
well, I'm stumped on level 13...any ideas?
I think the she that is watching is: Elizaveth Bartley/Bathory
Atleast that's the next enemy on the list. We've already gone through vlad and the grim reaper
I found out that some band "the Jam" has a song called "Wasteland" if that has any meaning
My guess is that there are three different phrases. Where ever there is a zero the respective letter doesn't get used. The arrows should be followed to know which order the letters go in.
i sort of got ghostlyopaquesky when i moved all the letters around according to the charts. zero's mean a letter stays still, otherwise you move it where the arrows say. but the next level seems..yeah..
edit: the source code still says 13 so maybe i didn't get the right answer... but it did something.. makes me think that maybe the game just isn't finished...

There is a zip file hidden in a period on that page. Highlight to see it or check the source.
Holy crap, it is a pretty freaky video. (::is sitting in a dark dark room lol::)
i don't get it... how do i get the zip? i saw that in the souce code but it only says .zip? i see nothing on the page./
Gokul43201
May8-06, 12:57 AM
Okay (thanks for the warning), that's something I do not want to check out until tomorrow morn...nite all !
i don't get it... how do i get the zip? i saw that in the souce code but it only says .zip? i see nothing on the page./
The link is a period on the page. Its hard to click but you can do it.
In the video, the second time you see the face there are letters written on it...the answer has something to do with that.
oh wtf, you just click randomly allover the page?!?
edit: found it, but lame...
yeah, and how does that help anything?
oh wtf, you just click randomly allover the page?!?
edit: found it, but lame...
yeah, and how does that help anything?
It opens a zip file for you and it contains a video. Watch it and you will find the answer. Well actually another clue.
Few, finally moved on to the next one.
I think you need to solve the other two squares?
I'm going frame by frame to see if their are any clues.
[edit]Done, the only text is on the second scary face and it says: "Erido"
i had the right answer. it brings you to a black page with a link to a zip file which you watch for the next clue. when you solve the next clue you go to the next puzzle.
I think you need to solve the other two squares?
Here:
<<Type the answer Gale gave into the address bar, and you come to the page with the period link. Click the link (a period) and then watch the video contained in the zip file. The second face you see has the word erida written on it. Type erida into the address bar and then it will ask you "who is she". She is the goddess of hate. So type goddessofhate into the address bar and you're done.>>
yeah, you figured out what they want from this next level yet? prefixes that mean happen again... "re"? thats all i can think of, and i dunno how they want me to use that.

Yeah...I'm not really sure. When it said to watch out or you'll set it free, I was thinking something along the lines of release but it didn't work.
i thought the same. i'm not good at these riddle ones.

god damn you people are smart...
by the way.. i noticed on that clue with the grim reaper standing in the town
if you go back to number 4.. it says "there is a man in the town of alba who's identiy noone knows. ask him for directions. you'll have to find a way to tell Lies from truth".. i figured the clues that start with a captial letter must be lies? that's why everything got so messed up?
You have to analyze the wording very carefully: "Watch your step around these cliffs, or you will set it free."
Set the cliff free? Set Deborah free?

Yeah...I wasn't even thinking about the lies, which is a perfect explanation for the contradicting answers that we received. So I think you hit the nail on the head.

Set the cliff free? Set Deborah free?
Does this mean you have the answer and are holding out, or are you offering wisdom? ::smile::
I'm trying to offer wisdom. Thinking aloud might spark something.
no one? nothing??? any other ideas for the prefix it could mean?
This is the only other thing I could find:
2. doodanaha'1n1'idl1 'nothing will happen to us'. dooda 'nothing'; nahaa- 'to us' plus imp. of '1-n1-i-...[hi- perf.]-d-l1 something happens again' [pass.; '1- 'so'; n1- 'again'; 'i- indef. pronoun].
Well I guess I'll get some sleep. Good Luck

apparently its Chiricahua Apache, so likely useless. its definitely refering to "re" as the prefix.. just what else does it want?

He just break down the word "doodanaha" into its parts: dooda, nahaa. And analyzed them to find the meaning of the word. Its a dictionary entry without proper spacing and format.
Arggh, anyone have any ideas? This is really tough.

a "friend" gave it to me and he apparently knew the creator of it.
the friend is just a fellow musician on another continent so it's not like i know them personally.
yes the riddle is new, it was published a couple of days ago he said
he refuses to give me clues though, he says he's not aloud to :P
Don't ask for a hint, just ask for the ftp username/password to the website. hehe

[/color]
Thanks it was late last night and had to go to bed just tell me the answer I've done all you suggested in fact before you suggested it and all the web sites >>Archeron or Cocytus< lead to have no web sites with riddles in them, I've tried all the web sites on the first page for both and tried including so and so river, that's what I did originally but nothing? I think either My google is broken or I'm just an internet moron, what's the web site or better still just give me the link I'll catch you up if I can I'm good at riddles usually, just not literate with computers obviously. Anyone else who remembers that dimly back in time might want to help too :smile: Oh just to make sure I tried all the other rivers too in case.
Well I don't know if this has been cleared up yet...but the answer to the Deborah Cliff is <<chainreaction>>

Ah Omega what's the answer to three, short of someone giving me the answer I've tried all the spoilers and done all they suggest and nothing, now google should throw up the same for everyone: type in liar first entry: Tony Blair:Biography guaranteed,everyones the same right? So I'm being dense obviously, this is drving me nuts I've typed in all the river names and nothing like what gale has suggested as site comes up or any text like a riddle in google, you remember the answer? PM I'd like to get through this, I really feel I should have come up with an answer when I figured out Styx and then the river names but my internet tom foolery is unsurpassed :smile:

So I'm being dense obviously, this is drvingg me nuts, you remember the answer?
If you are speaking of "the river" level then the answer is <<nineyears>>
It describes how long one will be silent after drinking of the river Styx.

I tried <<dvorak.htm>>, but got a screen that said " how will <<dvorak>> help you solve the riddle ?"
Yeah I got that too...hmm
The title is "more than a composer"
Dvorak is a type of keyboard just as qwerty is...
Now it makes sense...
Boxcutter
May8-06, 02:29 PM
ah yes i guess it's only to decrypt that stuff then! =)
Gokul43201
May8-06, 02:35 PM
but the obvious decryption of substituting keyboard characters between dvorak and qwerty (on hadja_brcobam) only gives gibberish...??
Dont' forget: Red: D->Q | Green: Q->D
Here is a tool to convert:
http://wbic16.xedoloh.com/dvorak.html
From wikipedia:
"Dvořák wrote his Symphony No. 1 in C minor when he was only 24 years old. Later subtitled The Bells of Zlonice after a village in Dvořák's native Bohemia, it is clearly the work of an inexperienced composer. The scherzo is considered to be the strongest movement. It has many formal similarities with Beethoven's 5th Symphony (for example, the movements follow the same keys: C minor, A flat major, C minor, C major), yet in harmony and instrumentation, Dvořák's First follows the style of Franz Schubert."
well you translate from Dvorak to qwerty then from qwerty to dvorak, like the hint in the source code says. and then you get mansion_ahead
Gokul43201
May8-06, 02:39 PM
Okay, my keyboard must be weird...
So it seems that we still have a ways to go...
Do you notice the span in between red and path?
yeah i got that, but i dunno what to call it, "door" "entrance" "front door" am i dense?
Ohh, Dracula's mansion. We're almost there, I think?
no no, i got that, what do you do after that??
never mind i got it... thedoor
Gokul43201

Ohh, Dracula's mansion. We're almost there, I think?It says there are 5 more mansions to go through before you get to the castle...still a long ways off methinks.

yeah, i was getting frustrated with that too. so once we have the map, anyone know what to do with all these coordinates??
:biggrin: Has anybody "walked along the path" yet
Do you think the words have to be split up by an underscore? That seems to be the trend for the last two solutions.
how do we walk it??? i posted the door solution in post 175.

May8-06, 03:01 PM
OK so let me know where you want to work from, I'm in <<hell>> here?
i can't figure out the number part of the piano. if you don't know the piano, the order you play the notes is the far left, then far right, then middle, then far left again. so for the numbers it goes 9, -4, 4, 16.
edit: got it! >>deadmeat
Gokul43201
May8-06, 03:07 PM
SD : how did you come up with that answer ? Anyone ?
Okay, I'm in hall 1 now (lvl18)...though my reasoning is not very sound
i don't know how they got 'hell', but to get to hall 1, you start on the piano and play the notes in the order i said. then you take the numerical value of the notes (a=1, 3=5 d=4) and add the numbers written on them. you get the words i said, which lead to hall1, where i'm now clueless.
is everyone in the first hall now?

Above the door, there's a picture of what appears to be 2 cherubs (angels). There's something between them...any idea what ?
Also, can anyone read the text above the door ?
"You are out of this world."
It looks like a globe above the door, which is what the statue is looking at? Perhaps some planet? Mars, Venus...
Perhaps red is the color of the planet or celestial object

Revelation 17:12 The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. [13]They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. [14]They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.

Roman numeral conversion (based on the hall3 picture). Basically it was close enough to the number.

I'll use a little Unix magic to get rid of the verbose files and find the good file
Well, I used "grep -RL Nothing *" and got the following files:
101/202/,.txt
161/80/,.txt
66/6/,.txt
After opening the picture i'm guessing it has something to do with phi...
well, i went to folder 161, then folder 80 and the file there says /moveon
oooh, enter that but not htm
But there seems to be more...
After that use <<deeper>>
We just did trial and error, but I see your point. We also kind of cheated by using the grep command to search the files instead of figuring out the folder from the image. O well, next riddle...
hmm...let the past inspire you......
yeah, what was the room of your darkest fears 666? ok, then the room of errors in half? that was the other line of folders...
Based on the library clue, I'm guessing that the triplets are the dewy decimal classification.
for this next one the "look for help in your local library" led me to the dewey decimal system. which is three digits, so that fits.. from there ...

i just finished up some work, so i'm gonna try again. anyone else still around to work on it?
I'm here, I'll try again...
Yeah I'm done...or close enough.:rofl:
So what is the deal right now on this riddle:
I. We are fairly certain that the numbers represent the dewey decimal system.
II. The only number that has to do with history is 959.
III. That whatever it is, it is trying to touch me...:yuck:
What is the purpose of the connecting lines...its not adding up yet.
289 is the only number that doesn't have another link...in the dewey decimal system, that's "Other Denominations and sects"
289 is the only number that doesn't have another link...in the dewey decimal system, that's "Other Denominations and sects"
Yeah, I tried messing around with that but nothing worked either...but it is definitely something to note...
same, i was trying to add and subtract things to no avail. i wonder if this is really all the hints we get or if we're missing something like we were in the first hall.
Probably, but I don't think it is refreshing because I have refreshed the page at least ten times...:redface:
Maybe the "past" they are referring to is a past riddle...
i was thinking that too. before my browser closed i was looking through old riddles, but i didn't see anything similar. i can't go back and check now though. only other time i remember seeing three digit numbers was the map
Where's boxcutter, he probably knows the answer
i'm feeling pretty stuck here... i'm not even sure what i'm looking for..
i want to give up on the numbers cause they seem to go nowhere, but i doubt they'd be there for no reason.
It is trying to touch you...listen to it.
This is the clue that we are leaving unaccounted for...does anyone even have an idea what this could mean?
i was thinking it meant the past, but i really have no idea. i can't figure out what all the lines mean. some sort of path? i don't know what to do with it.
I thought the lines led to dub categories in the dewey system...
I thought the lines led to dub categories in the dewey system...
i don't think that really makes sense. the system uses decimal places and it doesn't usually have that many after the decimal. and sides, you don't know where to start ever. and sometimes it forks off.
i think i give up.
The Doina is a Southeastern European musical tune style, having its roots in the music of Romanian (Vlachs) shepherds.
It can be found in Romanian music, as well as in the Klezmer music and the Roma/Gypsy music. The Doina's main characteristic is its beatless, often improvised slow melody that generally can't be danced to.
The very origin of the word "doina" is unknown and it is spread throughout Romania and Moldova.
Doina is also the title of one of the most important poems by Mihai Eminescu, probably the best-known and most influential Romanian poet. In it, he speaks of a Greater Romania stretching "from the Dniester to the Tisza", naming the two rivers which in traditional Romanian thought have always been considered respectively the nation's Eastern and Western borders.
Don't give up...
P.S. This is probably useless information but I am becoming desperate...
I'll wait for someone else to come back...

At work so can't linger; had a quick look, type help into the url and also those numbers are all convertable to musical notes except the last 3 if you link them? And past is obviously referring to a way that you add up the numbers to get a date or a year. All I could think of quickly, can't use the help thing wont run at work?? Must go tea break over, might be of some use? Will look again later.
Ek! Did the guy update the puzzle? Now the text says:
"So many numbers. In Bodley Mansion you needed the map. Now you need help..."
It doesn't mention the library anymore!

Yeah, it did change...it went from being impossible to easy. But I'll say more when I get home...since I'm at school.:tongue:
yeah, thats funny that he changed it. but at least we can move on. i dunno what he wanted before, i tried typing in library, and locallibrary, i even tried hint.. not help though. he also changed the source code.
anyway, so i typed in >help and got a program that gives letters for 3 digit numbers. it gives different letters everytime though, (when you do the same number twice, it changes) except for R, A and T. but its not rat, and its not tar nor art. i even tried rodere which is rat in latin... soo..

Yeah the program basically does crap except for those 3 numbers...and I've done the same thing ... but what is significant about r,a, and t. Maybe it has to do with the dewey decimal code? I've been looking at the list that was posted earlier but i'm still not quite sure.
i would doubt it has anything to do with that or he'd have left something about the library. i'm really bored of this picture though... must be something... the tongue of the dead clue seems to point to latin for something... or maybe some other dead language?
Now the source has "now where have I heard that before..." This changing this is getting pretty annoying.
I started going through some of the other riddles and there are more changes as well...
ahahahaha, man i love this. boxcutter is on right now, reading this, and the puzzle changes... anyway...
the source code just changed. it wants us to go back to that level in the grave yard i guess. there's a clue or something there? i'm gonna have to start from the begining to get back there because of when my browser closed before. any ideas anyone?
Boxcutter...if you want us to test your game then come clean!!!:biggrin:
Even if it isn't your game you definitely have some explaining to do...
If you're not back yet gale...the link is http://www.draculasriddle.co.uk/sadam/werewolves.htm
well its obvious enough that the creator is reading the thread. i also went back through all the puzzles, the second level changed too. apparently we're like beta testing. hehe.
anyway, so i got all the way back to the graveyard, and i'm not sure what i'm looking for, you? we never did anything with the symbols on the top left before so i was checking those out.. not that i have any more clue about them now than i did before. i was looking maybe for a rat in the scene... but i don't see one of those either.
haha, you were a bit late... i went through it all from the begining. but thanks
well anyway, the symbols at the top left look like avestan from what google brought up. or something similar at least. maybe some form of sanskrit? aramaic? i think i may give this a rest till the others get back.
Hey boxcutter, mind making the program cross platform (i.e. javascript or flash). I only have Linux and Mac running and I don't want to setup the old windows machine in the garage.
Also, I think we've reached the threshold where we are answering the questions faster then he can add them.
well whatever it is. we're playing a game that develops itself as we go.
anyway dduardo, if he doesn't change the program anytime soon, it just accepts three numbers, and outputs a letter. you can put in the same number over and over and get different letters except when you put in 289 (R) 959 (T) and 117 (A).
alright i'll come clean. I thought everything would be a bit more mysterious and fun when you didn't know who the creator was and what was happening. the reason i've been changing the clues etc is because i realize some of the riddles might need more clues, or that some clues don't make sense at all.
i hope my coming clean doesn't ruin the game atmosphere/feel for you. it has been great fun watching you solving everything up till now. i must admit that i am very very impressed by your achievments.
as for the current riddle, it is not something i have made to stall your progress. keep searching for the answer, and thou shall find it!
No, it won't ruin the game. If I may ask, what possessed you to make such a game?
Are you Daniel then? are you from sweeden?
I played online riddles as zestriddle and notpron and i enjoyed them but i realized there were things in both games that I did not like at all.
zestriddle became (to me) very illogical after a while and the answers could pretty much only be found by guessing at some points. The good thing about zest was that it had this creepy atmosphere over it. I loved shutting the door to my room, turning out the lights and playing zest all night. But then, as I said, the riddles got more and more weird and I lost faith in the game and quit.
Notpron is much more logical but the layout and the whole notpron-spirit is very unsatisfying. you kept getting pictures with the author without a shirt and pornopictures etc. and everything was so witty and straight out gay.
neither zest or notpron had any story, so I said to myself "perhaps I'm too dumb to create challenging and entertaining riddles, but at least I can make the game the way I want it. I will include a story and I will try to achieve a mysterious atmosphere (which i have kind of ruined now, at least for you guys hehe)".
i guess it's all a way to express my creative
Yes I am. Now you are making ME scared... how do you know my name?
lol, you didn't see earlier about that? But yeah, basically, we know where you live and if we find any riddles unfair then you'll know about it...:rofl:....Daniel Jansson
hehehehe. yeah, now its a big conspiracy. i'll tell how i know your name and where you live if you give me a hint!!
honestly though, i dunno what you all have, but i'm pretty stuck. i've tried translating those symbols into every dead language i can think of. most of the characters resembled phoenician or aramaic, but it doesn't spell anything. the letters turn, so i was turning the picture, but that helped little. sooooo...
hehehehe. yeah, now its a big conspiracy. i'll tell how i know your name and where you live if you give me a hint!!
I just want to know one thing Daniel...is the game complete yet? Or are you still thinking up new levels?
i'm sure he wouldn't've given it to us if it wasn't complete. he's just working out the bugs. i seriously want to move to the next riddle though. i found your name because last night i was so bored of being stuck that i started looking around for clues to who you were. that entertained me for a while, but we're still stuck on this puzzle!! arg!!

he should've known that if we could solve these riddles we'd be able to get other sorts of info. there's a couple people with his name from sweeden online from what i found last night. i couldn't tell if they were all the same, but it didn't seem so. just must be a popular name over there. either way, they all were into digital art, soo yep.

Boxcutter, you never replied to my previous request:
Can you convert the program in help.htm to a flash or javascript so no matter what operating system you're using everyone can play along. I don't like sites that just cater to windows users. Mac users might be interested in playing your game and when they get to this point they might get discouraged after all their hard work.
[EDIT] dduardo: i am sorry but i have no knowledge of how to convert or reprogramme it in javascript nor in flash. Thank you for pointing it out though. I will work hard to learn how to do it, so that our fellow linux users can solve this riddle as well. For now, you will have to rely on your friends. I can tell you one thing: When you find a way to figure out the combinations of 3 numbers that you need, you will know immediately that that is the right way. So you can put all your energy in trying to find a way to obtain these three digit numbers, and then give them to your windows-using friends for them to convert them!
Perhaps I have said too much now? If so, I am sorry.
Goku: Indeed it is Uppsala. I suppose you are in Sweden as well since you knew of the city?
Gale: I am sorry for not completing the riddle before I put it up on the web. As I said I was not expecting this quick advancement.
First I thought I had made the riddles too easy, but now I realize it is you 4 - 6 people who have brilliant minds (this is because all other people whom I have talked to who is playing the riddle, seem to be having huge problems with each new riddle they come to). You reason in very logical ways and it has been very interesting to follow your journey.
There's just one thing I would like to tell you guys.
Remember back in Bodley Mansion when things got a little confusing? You reached the 666.htm and the demon.htm before you were "supposed to". This is how it really goes:
you come to hall1.htm. you change boldey to bodley and come to hall2. if you look in the sourcode it says <bgsuond instead of <bgsound at one point. if you download the mp3file which is mentioned there you will hear a voice telling you how to get to hall3.
Concerning the Haunted Woods (the 9 mb zip file) which' code dduardo so elegantly broke:
the first riddle talks about the golden number Phi. if you go to 161/80 (which are the first digits of Phi if you skip the comma) you will find a txt file saying /moveon. You go there and you get an image which says "go to the room of your worst fears, from there go to the room of errors split in half". The room of your worst fears is according to the great novel 1984, room 101. The room of errors split in half would be 404/2 = 202.
there it says something about the beast again and from there you go to "666" where you are set free.
Now, good luck on solving the rest of the riddles! I challenge you to race me. Will I complete the game before you catch up with me?
I promise I will not make any "stall-riddles" just to keep you hanging.
Yeah, I knew the first one due to Phi but I just didn't think that you were referring to 1984, so I just used what dduardo did to solve it.
FINALLY...I am on to something. The symbols at the top left of the graveyard SHOW you what to do to the other numbers...
how do you mean?
<<861
237 the first symbol says to place the bottom middle between the top two outside numbers. So you get 831...which is G...now begin using the other symbols on the other pairs>>
WOOHOO!!! I finally got it all. Here it is if you want to know...<<greatflame>>
Gokul43201
May9-06, 05:04 PM
Is there any way I can do this without downloading the helper ? I'd rather not, if I didn't have to...
The helper is key...but if you want the answer then it is above. The helper just gives you the letter the corresponds to the 3 numbers you get.
Gokul43201
May9-06, 05:09 PM
The numbers (for something to double-check against) :
831 289 652 117 959
821 (or 216?) 371 734 882 671
Do the corresponding letters come from the helper ?
Edit : Omega, got it...I'll just wait for you/Gale/dd to get the letters.
Yes they do...I didn't write the numbers down but <<greatflame>> Each letter corresponds to a set of 3 numbers from the helper, so yeah...and hey I already got it...
>> the numers were 831, 289, 652, 734, 959 for the first row and 826, 371, 734, 882, 671. which spells greatflame like omega said. nice one omega.

Any thoughts, anyone ? And did you notice the different operators (+, *, -, /) straddling each of the first 4 hint lines in the source ?
Could elite mean 1337? I don't think so....just asking
hey yomamma, i'll give it an other go. i haven't been very good at the last few though.
also, boxcutter, i'm just curious, but i don't know how we got past the map part. that didn't make sense to me.

Perhaps something to do with astrology; fire, water, earth and air are how the zodiac signs are classified. I'm looking into birth charts right now.
edit: Just now I think the picture changed. It looks like there's another line of numbers underneath the cards now. Maybe I just missed it before but I'm pretty sure I didn't.
Kazza_765
May10-06, 03:59 AM
Well I'm just about sick of this one. But here's my thinking for others anyways.
The cards have values, and the operators are given by what suit they are (from the source file). The source file also says read it in the x direction first, and then in the negative y.
I'm thinking start at zero means start in the top left corner where the purple zero is. I'm not sure about 'elite', but perhaps it refers to the kings and queens?
I have no idea what the numbers in the background mean, but if I was right and boxcutter just recently added the '25 5 4 8 2' and I didn't just miss it earlier then its probably important.
I've tried looking up all sorts of different points systems for the cards, but I get all sorts of funny results, none of which has helped. Hopefully someone else can figure this out.

Might be a coincidence but from the level name North and Bridge things are both indicate bridge the card game? I would of said the four face cards were players NSEW, with S as the other queen and dummy. but one card is the same ace wise? Maybe I'm just reading too much into the cards :smile: only the tens, aces and face cards score in bridge, the other cards are worth 0? Mmmm, will look again this evening after work.

Yeah I tried the bridge connection as well, but couldn't make anything of it. I don't play bridge though, so tried to work out the scoring from wikipedia. By the way Boxcutter, this is by far the best quiz of this sort I have ever come across, absolutetly fantastic.

putting the url on this page, too lazy to keep clicking back :smile:
Seriously I played notpron I stopped playing at level 8 when I found I had to use some sort of insider geekoid knowledge about html, because of my lack of skill with html I had to use the spoilers to get passed some levels; for me a good riddle should be about thinking not computer experience and so far I've yet to see any sign of how riddles can't be completed unless you know such and such a language format or jargon. This is much better than not pron, and I think the fact that we are the first means we really are getting these off our own backs and not cheating from spoliers, that makes it more fun and more rewarding.
Good job Box cutter, word of advice though, number and letter solving riddles are fun but don't forget the obscure knowledge once in while, like you did with the Devil hallway, googling it is also fun(I had to do some research on the number of the beast myself quite recently so I particularly enjoyed that level, off the top of my head I'd say.... :smile:) I think gale prefers them as well :biggrin:
I tried using the first letters of the cards numbers minus the picture cards. I came up with a few anagrams that made vague sense but none of the worked. i.e A staff feast and one or two others, nothing helps? I can't see any relation to those numbers in the cards, are they even related?

<!-- Read it x wise until your goal is reached, then fall in the negative y. Each row is a unit. -->
anyone around and trying to get this? i think we did loads better when we were all solving things together. i keep trying the same things with this one, i need some fresh ideas...
i was using the numbers on the card with their respective opperation, but with the division i get decimals, which i think is no good. i'm thinking you'll get 5 numbers when you go across, and 3 more down, and i'm hoping its just assigning letters to the numbers after that. first we have to find the numbers though...
also, with the new hint, i wonder if he meant literally a "unit" or 1. and then perhaps the cards are all variables. i'm going to fuss with that probably.
and anyway, i got a little bored, and went through this whole thread for inspiration. boxcutter apparently didn't realize i'm a girl, cause he called me a guy earlier. just thought i'd clear that up. does gale seem like a masculine name? everyone always thinks i'm a guy...
but back to the riddle. i think i'm the only one up, so i'll just diddle around some.

May10-06, 11:45 PM
May I ask what you have tried so far Gale? I looked at it a little bit yesterday, but I am going to begin working on it now for a little while.
P.S. I didn't think you were a guy...:tongue2:
I'll try again in a few minutes
i know i'm talking to myself but still...
i've been googling trying to get some ideas, and i dunno if the author intended it or not, but they have a deck of "elite" playing cards... the riddle uses traditional cards so i doubt it was intended as a pun. which makes me wonder if perhaps the word 'elite' refers to something else... either way, a note to the author: i think one reason we've gotten stuck as a group is because we take a lot of the words used literally, and mistake wrong things as clues. so, hopefully you're picky with words choices..
Kazza_765
May10-06, 11:55 PM
Yeah I've been trying more or less the same things gale. Trying to assign points to the cards in such a way that I don't end up with decimals. Have tried dozens of different ways but I can't seem to get anything.
I'm not sure about the fire/water/air/earth, might be a red herring. In tarot that is what the cards represent but I can't find any relevance to this problem.
I've tried heaps of points systems (based on card games I've found) where A=5,K=4,Q=3,J=2,10=1, or 10=5,A=4,K=3.... etc as well as just A=14, K=13, Q=12, J=11, 10=1 etc... But I can't seem to find a way to do it without resulting in decimals.
Kazza_765

"it all starts with zero."
There are three strings of numbers on the page, and they all start with zero, so perhaps the answer does as well.

Yeah, I can never get all the rows to work out as integers...but like Gale said, lately we have been taking the wrong things literally and other things not literally enough...
yay! i much prefer doing these puzzles together. i thought i was all alone. anyway yeah, mostly i've been adding and multiplying trying to get some numbers that make sense. then take the 5 numbers and assign letters... so on.
the other thought i had was that we go x-wise first because its easier to equate equations of 3 unknowns, and then use the values to solve in the y direction. so if he was literally about the units thing then each row equals one and then you can solve for all the variables that way. if he's not literal i was still messing around. the best place i've seen to work from seems to be the first and last rows since they're very similar. also there's a lot of 5's
there's also 10 different cards, he doesn't use 4, 9, or 10. significant or not? dunno.

One interesting thing is that no suit repeats itself x-wise...it probably is nothing but it would give the answer you get for each row a suit.
also something that bugs me, is the "each row is a unit" so i try to treat each row separately. but rows 2 and 4 start with mult and division. so i haven't known how to treat that. i tried carrying the numbers from the row before, and i tried starting with zero, and with 1/x all with not fantastic results.
One interesting thing is that no suit repeats itself x-wise...it probably is nothing but it would give the answer you get for each row a suit.
i'm not sure what you mean. the first row has two hearts...?
Kazza_765
May11-06, 12:13 AM
I've been wondering about that too, I also tried starting each row with one of the numbers from the background, so start row 2 with 25, row 3 with 5, which works well until row 5 which ends up with a decimal
Omega_6
May11-06, 12:15 AM
i'm not sure what you mean. the first row has two hearts...?
Yeah, I don't know what I mean either:rofl: Just a quick glance and I missed that...
i think the cards must be somewhat straightforward or he wouldn't use cards. i don't think they're random variables, and i really want to make it so each one has the value written on it. the division at the begining of those two rows makes me think i'm approaching it wrong.
Kazza_765
May11-06, 12:35 AM
The other problem I'm having with this is that there are so many possible ways to look at this, and each one comes up with different numbers, that I don't know if I would even recognise the solution if I saw it.
For all I know I've stumbled upon it already and just dismissed it as another bunch of random numbers.
yeah, the latter puzzles haven't been as straightforward. before you'd see an answer and know you were right, it was just a matter of finding the answer. well, maybe this will seem straightforward once we get it. thats my hope at least.
ok, so i'm gonna try to start over with my thinking.
first look, we have some cards, what can cards be? numbers usually. 13 cards per suit, 13*2 is 26, so you could use them for letters. can use them to represent patterns. think of poker hands. other card games....
ok next i see the sequences of numbers, no quickly discernable patterns...
source code gives operators for each card suit, and an element. gives directions to approach the ordering of the cards.
it seems blatantly obvious that the cards represent numbers that we're supposed to add subt mult and divide. then we get a sequence of numbers which logically we transform to letters like before.
soo... i'm still stuck where i was before starting over.
oh, i forgot about the words at the bottom... yeah, those seem useless. the start with zero seems obvious anyway cause all the other sequences started with zero. and unless by elite he meant 1337 i doubt its significant.
Boxcutter
May11-06, 02:29 AM
i must admit that this one and the previous may have too many elements of confusion. however when i see your reasoning (especially some of gale's reasoning), i can't help but think that there is still hope left for you on this one. hence i will not be giving any more clues for now.
i hope you won't find future riddles as confusing as these two.

If no ones mentioned it your probably looking for the values of columns not rows, 3 sets of numbers 3 columns btw.

The hint in the source code says that each row is a unit. But it also says read it in the x direction first, and then in the negative y, which seems to suggest both rows and columns are important.

Unfortunately I can't really try anything as I'm at work:frown: I'll have to look at the numbers later when I'm free to go over them. I'd imagine the numbers of cards would follow the blackjack system if no other system works i.e. 1-10 with aces being 1 or 11, can't take that for granted though.
I have the feeling someone will get desperate soon and try working in base 14 :rofl:
EDIT: Had a thought that the suits could indicate the operators hearts being add or whatever, just a thought, again no real time to experiment with it.

I'd imagine the numbers of cards would follow the blackjack system if no other system works i.e. 1-10 with aces being 1 or 11, can't take that for granted though.In bridge, we use a different point system : 1-10 = 0 pts, J=1 pt, Q=2 pts, K=3 pts, A=4 pts.
My best guess right now is that the answer is a 5-letter word, each letter formed from a row of cards.
The numbers in the background/foreground are confusing. It's not clear if they are relevant (serve as a key, maybe).
Schrodinger's Dog
May11-06, 09:40 AM
Yeah, the operators are given in the source code as well. Hearts is +, spades /, diamond -, clubs *.
:smile: How do you access the source code btw, since I seem to be out of the loop, clues wise, might help if I know what your looking at from the start. Instead of guessing after the fact :biggrin:
Yeah that's where we started from Gokul, we figured North Bridge were clues from that game and tried the bridge system but that doesn't appear to give anything either?
EDIT:you can use the numbers as the initial numbers in the sequence 25,5,4,8,9 to start each row
so
25+2/3=9+4=13
1x5/5+7=8
4-5x2+4=2
8/8+5-4=2
until the last row
2+9/6-4=-2.16.. d'oh!!!
Not that the numbers equate to anything coherent anyway we have M,H,B,B,?

omega, in leet a 5 is an S, a 7 is a T, a 3 is an E, a 4 is an A and 1 is an L.
Oh, n00b speak...
yeah, so i'm guessing the change in the tenses of "be" is likely the key to this problem. nothing else stands out to me. "have been" is perfect progressive past tense. "be" is just present tense. there's also a comma in the newer version of the phrase.

how do you get her voice?

how do you get her voice?
It is a short song and it doesn't loop, just refresh the page and you should hear it again.
Or do what Gale did.
for some reason i can never hear the background noise, so i have to do that.
maybe we have to edit the sound? how do you get to that wav editor thing from the run box in Windows?
Kazza_765
May11-06, 07:57 PM
It doesn't sound like there is anything hidden in the sound. Perhaps it is the notes themselves that are important. I haven't done aural training for years, but I can have a go at figuring out what those notes are, perhaps someone better than me will need to do it.
dduardo
May11-06, 07:57 PM
Perhaps we need to find the note of each tone played? You can use audacity to do frequency analysis and it will tell you the note:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
well, i was trying to think of how those symbols could be explained by the song and it doesn't look like any music symbols i know. and by the sounds it doesn't seem like the notes of the song directly correlate to the symbols either.
i can probably find out the notes, but it will take some time. i think that would be silly though because there's not as many notes as symbols and like i said, i can't see any correlation myself.

May11-06, 07:58 PM
My tuner can "read" the notes that it hears...so let me see if i can find it...

Kazza_765
May11-06, 08:02 PM
ooh, didn't think of that, I'll try it with my tuner. I checked the id3 tags, nothing hidden there
edit: nope the notes are overlapping too much to get anything, will need to be done by ear.
to me it sounds like E, A, B, C, D, E. its definitely straight up a scale. so again, i don't think its significant.

Maybe by "how to read" it means in terms of music...like in what key.
But it doesn't seem to be working...
again, we can try editing it, reversing it, speeding it up.. etc.
the key is E minor, the scale is natural, what else would you like to know?

I'm for going backwards, except this laptop is loaded with graphic and animation software only. But I'll do it if no one else will.
I'm not asking for anything...just thinking out loud.
well in notpron, there was a riddle where you had to reverse a sound and speed it up 3 times to hear some voices
i'm looking at the symbols. some of them aren't double sided, as,nd that one is slanted. how could music convey that kind of thing? the slant could be sharps or flat, the only sharp in E minor is F. umm, i dunno what the double sidedness could be though. also none of the symbols have more than 5 horizontal lines...
Kazza_765
May11-06, 08:22 PM
Perhaps those symbols have meaning somewhere else in the world. Like, I was thinking braille perhaps, but that doesn't seem to be it. They look kind of familiar to me, but maybe thats just from doing other riddles.
Gokul43201
May11-06, 08:23 PM
Those signs look like they might belong to some ancient nordic rune...
Edit : I take that back. I looked at some Nordic runes and only a couple of those symbols appear in them.
they reminded me of the symbols in the graveyard. also, yomamma, in not pron they gave you the sound as a file. i recorded the song into sound recorder, and i'll speed it up and play it backwards..
uh yeah, haha, speeding up and reversing isn't at all helpful. they're just notes, and they're already high pitched and slow.
Kazza_765
May11-06, 08:33 PM
I've just been through a symbols database and can't find any connections.
(It did have some very obscure stuff though, like the one with three horizontal lines through it is used by vagrants in England and the US to mark places where police live, or people that call the police live)
so i'm wondering if the song really has anything to do with the symbols, maybe she's trying to tell us in a different way. also, the picture is called dea.jpg. i searched dea and found that it means some goddess.
dea also means 10^30, which is probably irrelivent
Omega_6
May11-06, 08:59 PM
I have a hint! Type in <<abnoba>>
It is the second part of her name...
oh i didn't think of that. i just looked at the symbols and saw the name didn't fit... nice one.
>>druidlands its translated from the ogham alphabet.
so..who knows what *thqrk sfaz means?
ok for the next one, i found out that the faint weapon is called a morning star, which is a clue in the source code.
and in castlevania the flam whip is twice as strong as a morning star...?
Kazza_765
May11-06, 09:15 PM
There is text in the picture saying "The roots go home"
I got the morning star thing, just not the flame
Kazza_765
May11-06, 09:18 PM
Perhaps this has relevance. The word lucifer is from a latin word meaning "Morning star"
edit: One site also said lucifer wielded a morningstar, called 'lucifer's hammer'
so we have to figure out what "home" is? i was trying to see where morning stars were used, but most sites just refer to their use by peasants. still not entirely sure what flame means, except that its just some other weapon i guess? and next to the morning star in the picture, is that some other stick?
also, kinda thought it was funny how all the sites say morning stars didn't actually have chains... i wonder if the author made that mistake, or if its delibrate?

Ah I finally get what 1337 means I was going to ask, one small step into the 20th century for me.
OK get STEAL but why haven:confused:
OK and where is the writing on the picture apart form Druid lands? And where did morning star come from, it's not in the source code? That aside nice work there, wish I was around when you did it.
OK morning star/Venus no link whatsoever to Abnoba I can see in Google? Diana yes(huntress God of the moon) And a link to the Danub via Danu her daughter, it's source in fact Mt. Abonoba. Looking for her roots or origins, I can see none, mother of Danu from where the river comes from goddess of rivers and births herself.
Celtic one of the Sidhe, they all come from Tir Na Nog? No one knows where the Sidhe originated they are alien though, it is thought they came from another world or land fleeing a battle? No luck there? I'm drawing blanks again.
In conclusion pass, she appears to have no origin or roots, or if she does it's an abstract or metaphorical one that you need? The Celts originiated from? No one knows for sure? Somewhere around the Alps seems to be the best guess.
Maybe it's a tree root we're looking for :smile:

Well, Gale got morning star from the source and there also seems to be a morning star in the picture.
P.S. Unless I didn't read your post correctly you seem to be still on the blackforest one about the girl...the answer to that one is <<druidlands>>. Now the next one is still ripe for the solving.
anyone notice that "morning Star" and "*thqlrk sfaz" have the same amount of characters in each word
so i think we're looking for "home" right? but aside from looking for places the morning star originated from, i can't think of any other homes. anyone have ideas?
I was thinking in some wierd way...*thqlrk sfaz=morning star and using however that was translated, home=[something]

what do you mean decrypion font?
Davorac
May13-06, 08:10 PM
I joined (mainly) because of the riddle, but I know one thing or two about physics, and I'm pretty good at math, if I may say so myself.
And as for finding this forum, google is my firend. The one who introduced the riddle is another student, who studies math.
And the decryption font is that file you found in the silk bag, with the .xxx file extension.
Edit: Could "the roots" have anything to do with the root of a Linux system? It's sort of the home directory...
I thought morning star could mean the sun as it is rising...just a thought
wow we've gotten really far on this riddle eh guys??
its funny how the script in the source code says "don't give up now" and everyone seems to have given up.

Wow, was worried I would have missed something. Haven't been on since last thursday. Will give it a go again tomorrow, maybe looking at it with fresh eyes will help.
Hi folks, i've been doing this puzzle for some time now, and stubbled accross your site when i was stuck somewhere in the 20's. I'm stuck on 27 with the rest of you guys, I thought perhaps i could share a few google hits i've had around this topic.
Firstly I noted that the picture is not actually a morning star, the morning star is just the spike bit on the end, and it is normall attached to a solid stick. This image is a flail, often confused with a Morningstar (flail is a bit similar to flame you may note)
Also note that morning star was the name of an native american indian cheif, but i couldn't get any workable info out of that.
Interestingly the morning star is another name for Phosphoros (the greek god of light)
I also found this quote
Eosphoros (Morning Star) watched the east, Hesperos (Evening Star) the west.
given that we were at the eastbridge.jpg i thought this may be of some use (i got it from http://www.theoi.com//Titan/AstraPlaneta.html a good site overall).
Also along that same lines, i found the Phosphoros (Eosphoros) and Hesperos were though off as two seperate celestial bodies, however they were both infact names for Venus at the different times of the day (the latter being evening the former being morning). Now the man who discovered that these two names were the same body.... pythagoras..... which may explain the "roots" comment
Thats all i had so far
Oh morningstar also has some connection to a book about a vampire slayer
Edit: Also isn't it a it strange that the "me" is not on the same rock, almost like it is not really meant to form the word home

So, Gale, where were we before we entered Transylvania, I'm growing tired of typing in names of regions, countries, and cities...
But if you don't want to tell me then I understand.
hehe, omega, i'll help no worries, before we entered transylvania we were on the main page of the game. check the source code there. notice the *symbol. see if you can get it from there...
so for denis marsh, we have some letters, and an arrow which points right. and at the bottom it says turn two into three. the source says to follow the directions (go right?) and it also says level 17... on level 17 we turned one word into two, by adding the numbers written on the piano to the numbers of the letters i got from the notes of the piano. also on 17 it says 2 from 1, and in this level its two to three. so i'm wondering if we're supposed to change the word two into the word three... maybe not?
so are we all on the next level now? anyone else have ideas?
So far your ideas are the only ones...what's the URL for level 17?

I'm still stuck on 16. The one with thedoor, the red_path, and themap. I know you guys got past it but I can't figure out how you did it. I found this earlier in the thread
The map has a 666 in it, but I don't think that's useful...ideas ?
wait...that helped...i think
yes it did
But the map doesn't have a 666 in it at all, so that post makes no sense! And if you go to 666.htm it says "If you got here from riddle 16, you're not on the right track" so I'm guessing whoever came up with the way to 17 did it just by pure guessing/luck and didn't really finish all of 16.
Hey,
I've been working on this riddle for quite some time now, i found it on the LWS boards, and have been solving it through since then. My friend Steve google'd dracula's riddle today and this site came up. After reading the thread, i decided to join you guys, hoping adding another head to the team will work better. I'm on riddle 28 by my count, but the source says its 17...

i sort of got ghostlyopaquesky when i moved all the letters around according to the charts. zero's mean a letter stays still, otherwise you move it where the arrows say.I don't get it? Can you (or someone who knows) explain how you did that ??
(Riddle 13)
a_moron: its kind of confusing but start with the first grid, then super impose the second. if there's a zero, leave the letter alone. if there's an arrow, move the letter to the square indicated. if it points off the edge, imagine it loops around to the other side. double arrows mean move it two squares in the direction indicated. this worked for everything until the last grid, there was some overlap on like 3 letters. i'm not sure if i messed up or not. for those i just made educated guesses.

May18-06, 01:44 PM

a_moron
May18-06, 03:33 PM
a_moron: ******* OK, a few more questions.. (on riddle 13)
1) What square in the grid should I start on?
2) When I move that letter to another square containing a new letter, should I then overwrite that letter?
3) When I have moved the first letter from the first square, where should I go from there? continue to square to the right/left/up/down? or should I continue to move the first letter in the direction the new square points to?
4) I guess that the first grid with directions is the first word, and the second grid the second word.. so on.. right?
5) Zero = Leave the letter alone, if that is so, the 3:rd grid (the one to the left) would contain the letters "SKOQHLYSYUA" since they are marked as Zero.
or is it viceversa? remove all those letters since they are marked with zero? Then the letters "TPGEA" will be the letters left to move... and that won't give me any of the words in the solution..
no, you have it quite wrong. have you tried doing it? start with the first grid, and move ALL the letter according to the second. then take the new arrangement and move them according to the third, and yes, most stay still. you don't overwrite letters, they all should move out of eachothers way. so start with the first grid. create an empty grid. fill the empty grid with the placements given in the second grid. now repeat the process with the third grid. you just have to try it and keep trying till it works.

Keats, I have tried "printing" l in one language already, i'll try for some more. Although that wouldn't make any sense unless it comes up with a strange syntax error lol...
Sigh, I lose internet frequently, the idiots at adelphia don't understand how to provide cable internet...
So, anyone have any ideas on Denis Marsh? We played with the letters given and riddle 17's answer and spelled out "wanted murder" and some others but nothing worked. I'm stumped though. Anyone else have any ideas, or have you all given up on this?

Actually, we've moved on (or some of us). But I simply can not just tell you the answer. The key to this riddle is that it is simple. Much simpler than you are making it out to be.
Hint for 28: look down.
Omega, you notice that if you take the first letter of each word on the picture you can spell "value"? Not sure how to use it, but it fits the theme of the level.
doh, Jumped to 32, still stuck on 29.

May20-06, 12:54 PM
Omega, and a_moron, does it deal with turning "w" into "e"? I did that and got reiner..But that doesn't work...And I got your hint, sorta..Anything else?
Im going bloody crazy this is really getting to me, i alway thought of myself as pretty clever, well very clever. But i can not for the life of me get this.
Look down: no that does not help me at if i look down i see feet, smelly, but feet non the less
as for there being a B missing, well that gives me brien WR, who google does know.
Give me more before I shoot myself, and if this answer turns out to me lame i will kill myself

It's a clue.. not a spoiler....
The riddle asks how long the silent curse lasts. Look up the river Styx on google and it will tell you how long. That is the answer.
well how about another clue, i seem to recall you getting stuck on 13 and people helping you out, its ok to request substantial help...right
when i get it i;m sure it will compound my frustration of not getting it for so long :(
i'm playing with mirroring the image now... not getting anywhere

May20-06, 01:21 PM
apj101 has a point. everyone was working together and now they just seem smug to me...Yes, you and others help by giving tidbits, but seriously...I don't get your clue...We're on riddle 28, turn 2 -> 3, you get 38...Then turn rienwr into...ugh...Ok..ON the keyboard:
1=q
2=w
3=e
4=r
5=t
6=y
7=u
8=i
9=o

OK.. This you know.. the clue in the Html says "17".. but you are on riddle "28"... and you know that the picture has the letters "RIENWR" on it... and the clue on the page tells you to "Turn two into three"
If you take 17 and turn that in to 28..(only looking at your keyboard) what have you done then?
Can you do that with "REINWR" by only looking at your keyboard ??

found out that venerableness means Commanding respect by virtue of age, dignity, character, or position.
Worthy of reverence, especially by religious or historical association: venerable relics.
and attaints means To impart stigma to; disgrace: “No breath of calumny ever attainted the personal purity of Savonarola” (Henry Hart Milman).
To pass a sentence of attainder against.
so yah
Omega_6
May20-06, 06:59 PM
Everyone needs to calm down. From now on all we should really be doing is giving hints. At the same time, there is nothing stopping anyone from giving the answer. But I'm sure everyone would feel better by figuring it out for themselves, even if it requires a little help.
Word meanings aren't very hard to figure out, especially for attaint and venerableness.
As for some of the riddles being too hard or too easy, thats just the way things are. Almost (and I say almost) every riddle seems pretty solvable (and this means "logically" solvable, not guessing) to me once you solve it, you just need to have your head in the right place.
Just being clever isn't going to solve every riddle, you need perseverance and sometimes luck.
apj101: I don't feel that anybody is being "standoffish", we are just trying to preserve the integrity of the game. Earlier in the thread we were more open because we were all basically doing our part for the good of the group. Now that we have so many newcomers one may get the feeling that they are not willing to actually work for an answer (this may not be true for any, but this way forces all to at least try). And just so you know, if I were to find an answer that I thought was ridiculous, then you would know that answer. But if I think that the answer is fair, then I will give hints. I hope this reasoning is the same for all.
Wow i just got internet back, been down since my last post.
Holy Crap, i just got 28. That was one of the first things i tried, but the B was still missing when i tried it. Never thought to actually place in another letter... Man i feel dumb for that one...
Omega_6
May20-06, 09:54 PM
Well now that I and another know the answer for 29, we have so far come to the conclusion that the answer is unreasonable (simple and easy to guess but so far unreasonable to deduce logically). So If I can't see a way to come to this answer soon then I will post it and allow some of you to take a look. But I don't have any real hints...I mean, why should it be so hard to enter the mansion?
Hint for 29: W, L, level 2.

for that problem: use the coordinates back on the page where it says you needed a map. the coordinates match up with letters. which spell the word

OK been away from a while?
Kudos Gale: the roots go home the roots=source code----> home=home page, thanks for the hints, once I got that it was straight forward, would of taken me decades to think of that.:smile:
Next level was straight forward, am now on Berkely mansion I'm not sure what level number that is, in fact how do you tell, I'm confused by looking back as I'm not sure where you guys are, or if your even still here. Anyway, if I get anything I'll put it up.
Looking back it's 29.
attaints, looked up the definition:-
1. To impart stigma to; disgrace: “No breath of calumny ever attainted the personal purity of Savonarola” (Henry Hart Milman).
2. To pass a sentence of attainder against.
3. Archaic. To infect or corrupt, as with illness or vice.
4. Archaic. To accuse.
wonder if it's a clue or just an act of misdirection? The definition of venerableness is interesting too, I just thought it meant age. English is such a rich tongue :smile:

I think there has been a few misunderstandings here.
People have gotten to the temporary ending directly from 35 by probably just guessing that word. I have created a subfolder to prevent this so those of you who were on riddle 36. Go back to riddle 35 and type in the solution again and you will be redirected to the subfolder.

Check your pm.
I gotta say great riddle so far, can't wait for the new levels.
FYI, the grammar is a bit off in the source to 36 "This is the caves". I think it should be "These are the caves" or "This is the cave".

well i think the cards on 24 have to do something with it. Im not really sure though.
Also notice how those 7 groups of 3 numbers start with 1 or 2
Gregulator
May25-06, 09:55 AM
Yeah... could it have to do with each gray 1 being love or hearts and each gray 2 being diamonds or jewelery? Something like that. That was just off the top of my head, don't know where I'm gonna go with it.
YtseJammer03
May25-06, 09:56 AM
i noticed the numbers cant all translate into letters, like the 99 and 156, so i dont know if they are the key. Wow I think this one is really hard.

Gregulator
May25-06, 10:13 AM
Well, I thought that you would count like A = red 1, B = red 2, then when you got to J, J would = white 0, but I don't know how to use that either.
YtseJammer03
May25-06, 10:16 AM
well on the right side of the cards there is 7 numbers. Maybe they have to do with the 7 gorups of 3. Like 7 letters in a word.
YtseJammer03
May25-06, 10:19 AM
actually there are 3 series of numbers on riddle 24 all starting with 0, and one of the 0's is really bright. But in the one with the bright 0 there is only 6 numbers.??
Schrodinger's Dog
May25-06, 10:45 AM
This one is an utter git guys, there is an answer way back but i'll give you a clue below, run your mouse over it to reveal. It's all in the cards :smile:
The source code has a method of translating the cards subtly burried in it, make sure you get the right value for the cards though. Once you have the numbers you need you need to translate them. 1 row's total = 1 letter
We needed some help from Boxcutter on this one, and frankly you have to be slightly nerdy to get it, which is another clue :wink:
None of the clue links from a moron work for level 29? Can someone PM me with the hints on the thread so far, I'm definitely stumped?
Boxcutter
May25-06, 11:16 AM
scrhodingers dog: i think you have misunderstood the sitatuion. your hint was for level 24, they are on level 32. (i'm only saying this to clear things up for ytsejammer03 and gregulator, getting a hint that was actually for 24 when you are on 32 can become very confusing).

hmm....yeah not exaclty sure still how to get this one.
Hi! A couple of my fellow employees and myself have been working on this riddle for a little time now and it appears I've hit a road block.
The others I work with are slowly progressing through and are on levels 12 and 13 but I've managed to work through to level 30. However I'm completely stuck on 30 now. I figured out the matrix that needed to be transposed, the significance of the numbers, and the event but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to enter the answer. I actually stumbled across this forum googling for some kind of hint as to what the correct format for the answer might be. If someone could provide me with some help it'd be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you for the help! I got this, but that's where I'm stuck. Entering the name I get to a page that looks like it's no longer part of the riddle as it has nothing in the source, no description, no level number, etc. I had assumed it was just a place holder.
Without providing any further hints, unless I'm on the incorrect path can you at least tell me if I'm headed in the right direction or if I've gotten side tracked?
Thanks again!

Ah ok sorry, trying to be helpfull, your reply sounded like the riddle on 24. As people keep hopping backwards and forwards I somehow seem to have got into the habbit of ignoring posts from other levels by context unless I've already done them; but if people in future can make it clear what riddle they are referring too it might help us to avoid further confusion.
Oh and do you have any hints for 29 Berkely mansion, with the moon and the skull? I can't read the links, I'd apreciate if someone just posted them as clues as we used to do as pming is too much hard work, as long as people cover them with the grey colour[color=#e9e9e9]*type your text*then the open bracket and/color] then if your like me you only look at them when you get stuck. Just some suggestions and it's also less hit and miss than links which it seems don't work, for me at least. If it's awkward to do it that way though, just pm me, whatever:smile:
Omega, ignore my sister (HEather). She doesn't know anything about source code and programming... And she can be annoying...
And can you pretty please give a hint? :shy: Please :wink: lol.
Tekk...I'm with you on the adelphia thing. THey suck major @$$....lol.
Neither did I: source code is obtained by Ctrl+U or on the view menu: view page source, at least in firefox, wont touch that leaky old explorer programme, I had to have that spelt out to me too, I am an archetypical sub-laymen when it comes to programming. Sorry.

Yes I did also Yomamma, frankly though I disagree I have had two pm's about level 29 which are actually a little condradictory and I can't get what begins with w and l in the picture. w yes l no, I know what I have to do when I get the words but I just don't get this one it's annoying.
Im feeling pretty stupid right now even with copious clues I'm not seeing the words that boxcutter and kaya are on about, I'm assured they are in the picture what the hell are they? The clues are fine thanks but I already know what to do, but if you can't see the words or word then your lost, besides the clues are what it says in the source code I know this. dag nab it.
I give up really, someone just pm me the answer:grumpy: I feel like such a fool.

Hi! A couple of my fellow employees and myself have been working on this riddle for a little time now and it appears I've hit a road block.
The others I work with are slowly progressing through and are on levels 12 and 13 but I've managed to work through to level 30. However I'm completely stuck on 30 now. I figured out the matrix that needed to be transposed, the significance of the numbers, and the event but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to enter the answer. I actually stumbled across this forum googling for some kind of hint as to what the correct format for the answer might be. If someone could provide me with some help it'd be much appreciated.
Thank you!
if you figure out what the numbers, it represents someones birthdate. In the picture, the word theatre is in there. That person died and used to work at the ???? theatre. Figure it out

35 is giving me a headache
Hello :-)
I must say this riddle has been a complete challenge to me. I've done pretty well so far but I'm am completely stuck at the second part of 35 and I've been working on it now for close to two weeks and at my wits end. If anyone could please message me and help me out with it I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Alright...Got 35 finished!! YAY!!
Got the first part of 36 finished!!!!
now the second part of 36...hmmm *pulls out hair* I am not alarmed :-s
figured out so now I have the info
"death is everything"
"Anger -> Depression" "x takes you there etc"
"depression is often anger turned inwards" ~~
cannot figure it out..
please a hint or something=)
I just realized that "blue" is a synonym for sad, depressed etc..
"blue is what takes you there"
cheerless, dark, dejected, depressed, depressing, depressive, despondent, disconsolate, dismal, dispirited, dispiriting, down, downcast, downhearted, gloomy, glum, grim, heavyhearted, low, melancholic, melancholy, morose, sad, unhappy, wistful
tried it with "ness" added to some of the words aswell..
comon im close but cannot get it, HELP! :D

what does take you to depression when you are currently angry????
:D
telling the riddle again is not a clue ;)
I mean I figured out all that, but cannot get the exact word even tho I tried alot =)
please give me a clue to what the exact word is..

Jun7-06, 04:38 AM
figured out so now I have the info
"death is everything"
"Anger -> Depression" "x takes you there etc"
"depression is often anger turned inwards" ~~
cannot figure it out..
please a hint or something=)
denial-> anger-> fear-> guilt-> depression-> acceptance
The path to acceptance, I'm still stuck on 32 though so I can't help you :frown:
Sounds like a clever metaphor for word play, try literally turning words inwards?
hmm you might be onto something.. but the "depression is often anger turned inwards" is not from the riddle but from google, so its probably not that..
could be something like fearandguild I guess then ^^ lets try some.
omg I got it lol :D
took some time.. :D
Grats Predoo!!
Now if I just stop going bald from trying to get through the second part of 36's lol

You'll have to randomly select the last digits operator I supose. I guess if the number was 365 you would +3 then - 6 at a guess * 5 so you'd have -15 then you'd start from -8 on the wheel and count back to the letter? I haven't tried it yet though so I'm only speculating. What letters turn up when you follow this procedure? Also if it comes up with nonsense try starting from the same place every time. or 0-8

For those that are currently at riddle 36, part 2, try looking in the field of psychology...Specifically...Plutchik...Then ye shall know what to do. :)
I'm apparently missing something. I've tried everything related to Plutchik and still am not figuring it out. Wish I knew about him on the second part of 35, but for the second part of 36 I'm just not getting it. :-(

Jun8-06, 12:29 PM
yea this is getting sad...i looked up Plutchik and im getting no where..but i can do it..i just need 2 knwo what im looking for...
Me too, I've tried every single thing he had up there, Tried his theories name and so on and so forth. This stinks to get this far and then get stumped.

Jun8-06, 08:36 PM
Ok. I am going to practically give it away...
http://www.fractal.org/Bewustzijns-Besturings-Model/Plutchikfig6.gif
In the above pic, look at where anger and fear are. No where near each other. But, look at the colors. Anger is red, but fear is NOT blue: its green. So therefore go to where purple is. Try those words, and their synonyms...If you still don't get it...That's sad...
I saw absolutely no chart that looked like that on any of the stuff I looked at. So thank you from my pathetic self lol
michaelkenji
Jun10-06, 12:24 AM
thanks for the link, chris.. i seem to have tried everything that google/yahoo gave me as synonyms for the words in the purple region but still nada..
is the answer a single word or a combination? a noun or verb? is it really "everywhere in these lands"?
this is the last step and i don't wanna give up... :cry:
pickles
Jun10-06, 12:50 AM
PRAISE ALL THINGS THAT BE!!!! I thought I was the only one who lost my brain cells on the past 35., to not be able to figure it out. I've used combinations of words, I used all the purples ,,,I've used every single word there PLUS their synonyms, Plus putting all of them together in one form or another. I went by theory, I went by chart, I went by color blending, and the answer still eludes me like the winning numbers on a lottery ticket.

I am still stuck on #35, I have done almost every one of these puzzles without help, I came here for help on the Theatre board, and I still don't know where you found the 2nd egg...but with the hints you provided I figured out what the answer was. Can anyone give any hints to what 35 is, I've been stuck here a while, and I've tried every combination of word, synonym, whatever, that I can think of for the answer. Going from anger to depression, am I overthinking it and it's not even something that deals with these two states or is it something so simple that I just am not seeing it? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Jun30-06, 11:51 AM
Well, I managed to get up to number 40 on my own, but now I'm quite thoroughly stuck. I browsed around on the internet and saw this forum, so I figured I'd see what you guys had to say on it.
Info with possible spoilers follows:
I initially did the obvious thing and searched for enlightenment, and tried various different philosophers and religious figures with no luck.
Looking back at it, I noticed something in the image I didn't before. I put the image into my image editor and adjusted the contrast, and the letters I, O, R, and what looks like part of either a Y, V, or W are visible. I ran a search for that, and then searched within pages under a search for enlightenment for those series of letters, but to no avail. I also couldn't find anything in the source that was helpful.
End of possible spoilers.
I'm thinking that either I'm overthinking this thing or that I'm really close to it but am missing something obvious. If anyone can leave me any hints that won't spoil the whole question, or just tell me if I'm on the right track at all, I'd be much obliged.
MelodyKitn
Jun30-06, 12:09 PM
You're not over thinking, but you have the first letter wrong. Look closer and you'll find it's a different letter than what you posted.
Out of the letters you put up, three of them are right.
ffutahw
Jun30-06, 12:33 PM
I can't believe I messed that one up. That changes everything and gives me a bunch of results. I have yet to find anything that works though, but I'll keep at it.
MelodyKitn
Jun30-06, 12:38 PM
Well, hmm... I'll tell you that you're just missing the first two letters.
You gave two sets of letters and three letters are right, so hopefully I won't confuse you when I say that two letters from the first set are correct, and one of the letters from the last three you gave are correct O.o

He's right.. you're just missing the first letter. Think of words that end in the letters you just gave.

use the code [ color=#ededed ] before the text you want to hide and the code [ /color ] afterwards (remove spaces between [ and c, d and ], [ and /, and r and ])

Jun30-06, 03:34 PM
Hmm, reworking it a bit...
<I'm seeing the first letter looking like a D or possible a lopsided O or A, the middle letter is an I I'm almost certain, and the last letter looks like it could be a K or G, or possibly a messed up E. of the possible combinations of these, I thought "die" and "dig" looked promising, but neither of those got me anywere.>
Am I still nowhere close? 41 and 42 were so easy...

Ffut.. you found the answer. Retry those words again, because one of them should work.
MelodyKitn
Jun30-06, 03:38 PM
Seraph, I see two patterns, but on one of the patterns, the first hour hand doesn't make too much sense. On the second set of patterns, I can go row by row and then take the last clock and loop it up to the first so it's a repeating sequence.
But yeah, that format... the riddler needs to at least hint the way the time should be put in since there's so many ways to tell time and there's no clue as to which format is right...
Example (not the answer)
EightFifteen
Eight-Fifteen
08:15
8:15

There has never been a "-" in any answer before, there has been "_" but then it has been obvious that it was supposed to be that way.
Using colon in filenames is not allowed by windows. It is almost obvious that a point (".") would not be a relevant thing to put in an answer. That narrows you down to two possible ways of writing the time =)

ffutahw
Jun30-06, 04:44 PM
I thought I saw a pattern with both hands from clock two on, but...
<It looks like, in a couple of places, the hands are off by one minute mark from the obvious pattern. It kind of skews things if you look at that. In addition, I'm thinking the pattern may lie in the total number of minutes passing from clock to clock, but I can't be certain. I'll have to look into that next.>
MelodyKitn
Jun30-06, 04:47 PM
I thought of that too Ffut, because it does seem as if it's not on the number marks, so it can be misleading...

Well, by just following the hands, like it says, and then finding the hour hand...I can get the time I "think" it is. However, if I have the right time, then my format is wrong...I have tried roman numerals as well...
I see so many ways to get to the "answer", but no luck on how to input this answer.

If you "walk" along the hands, then you can get a definite minute hand. The hour hand can be deduced in many ways.
If I have the right answer, and can't move on because of the format...then grrr.
If I have the wrong answer, then that is alright, but how can I know? I don't want to waste time and have it end up being the format.

The thing about the hour hand is, I have tried every hour value with the minute value I got and nothing works. This leads me to believe that it may indeed be the format.
MelodyKitn
Jun30-06, 07:56 PM
I did that too, when I first made the complaint about the format. That's where boxcutter mentioned that using '-'s '_'s ':'s or '.'s wasn't feasible, so that left either doing it numerically, or spelling it out, and both have proved ineffective.

MelodyKitn
Jun30-06, 08:47 PM
He also said there was obvious reasons why the '_' was used...
It doesn't seem to make sense to use '_' when telling time tho, does it?
@.o?
Between all the hour hands in each step the sequence is:
1 6 8 6 8 6 8 6 8 6 ?
and between all the minute hands in each step the sequence is:
6 5 6 8 6 8 6 8 6 8 ?
Something worth thinking about? Maybe?

Hi Speedy
< Notice every word has a colored in letter that matches the colors below.
That's the order you'll go by.
So to make it easier on you, write the words down in the same order and underline each colored letter.
Now, think of the synonyms.
Use google or dictionary.com if you need help thinking up some.
Count what number the colored letter is for the first word.
Count the same number of letters on the synonym you come up with.
Hope that helps. >

MelodyKitn
Jul1-06, 10:54 AM
What he means is that the movie is filled with opposites.
Each two scenes you see are opposites of each other.
There are five scenes.
The fifth scene is the last scene. What word would describe the opposite of it?
Think of how the image looks like.

there's some guesswork involved now, but you should notice the spaces and that some letters belong in certain places.
Once you put it all together you should be able to come up with the answer

SpeedyKupad
Jul3-06, 07:22 AM
way to go reggie! let me know if you find anything when you reach 53. meanwhile, i am more stumped than ever! hahaha
Well, I came back after a much too short weekend and saw the new hint in 44, which immediately solved it for me. :tongue2: Now I'm working on 45. With any luck won't take me long.
SpeedyKupad
Jul3-06, 08:08 AM
good, get it going so you can't help me on #53
Hmm. Maybe I'm taking the wrong tack here on 45. Info follows.
<The immediate things that jumped out at me were the words "Everything is the key," and of course the picture "yellowiswhatwillsaveyou" Thinking back to the previous relic rooms, both had something to do with the something was typed in the address bar. Noting the answer from 44 that was of course still in the address bar, I went back to riddle 31 (20 past 11!) to look for any clues there, but failed to find anything yellow there, nor anything that got me any closer... >
Am I completely off the mark here?
SpeedyKupad
Jul3-06, 08:15 AM
you are doing the right thing. remember when we had to figure out what the colors meant. At least for me that's how i got it.
SpeedyKupad

SpeedyKupad
Jul3-06, 08:27 AM
any ideas? :uhh:
Still on 45...
<I pretty much dead-ended looking at riddle 31 for clues. So I decided to focus on the other clue, "yellow is what will save you." Taking the most obvious route, I opened up each individual page from riddles 1-45. Turns out the only one with yellow in it is #38, Aljiba Woods; the first letter of the word Fury.>
I'm not exactly sure how to work this into the equation, and I feel like the answer should be so simple too... any hints here?

Damn, still not getting 48! Well at this point the answer can't make me feel any dumber. I'd say I've tried everything, but obviously I haven't since I still don't have it :P I've got a different tact I'm going to try.

I'm asking for assistance for number 49 x.x
What follows is what I have so far.
<Ok. So it was pretty easy to get where I was right now. I use firefox, so I opened the entire Dracula's Riddle bookmark folder in tabs, and clicked through, keeping open the ones that matched the pictures in 49. I then used the clues to get the answers to each of the riddles listed: c from crucifix, o from shadow, ? from ???, a from chainreaction, r from neveragain, and d from deatheverywhere. Giving me co?ard. Pretty obvious what word that is pointing to -> coWard. I tried that, and several synonyms, but that didn't work. I then looked back at the question. "Find the missing piece of the puzzle". So I went back through the entire series, looking for an answer that started with W. I found it: riddle 10, Sadam Woods answer: werewolves. So I tried sadam, sadamwoods, riddle10, riddleten, numberten, number10, and werewolves as answers. Still no luck. I then tried entering 'coward' into the decrpyt tool from way back in bag.zip that was used to solve riddle 10. Still no luck. I must be missing something OBVIOUS here.>

you have already got the right answer, you must just have typed it in wrong.
ffutahw, you have the answer in your post! Retry, probably you misspelled it :smile:
My lights are on, but noones home apparently.
A word of advice: When you highlight your answer to overwrite it and try another, make sure you dont have the period before htm selected as well.
Wow.

You're missing something. You haven't got the full riddle yet, just think about it, you do it on every riddle, but you have to do it differently this time...
As for having the entire riddle on 53, I have no answer, and no where to look, literally...
Nevermind. Saw it right as I was about to close the window. Don't focus is right. 51 now.
Now on 52, I'm on a roll!
This ones tough...
Anyone else stuck here?
<So we need a map, and the image is ,.jpg There was a ,.zip in #42, with a ,.avi inside of it. I thought I was on to something when I noted that the hint for 42 was "? is the answer" (referring to the ? from the movie and opposites and whatnot). Of course, trying to pull up ?.jpg or ?.htm doesn't work, and shouldn't really, and I'm silly for trying :-P So back to the drawing board for now.>
Anyone else stuck here?
Yep. And I've exausted all my ideas for now. :confused:

I'm still on 52, so I can't be certain about this, but something rung a bell in my mind. If you recall from riddle 30, part of the process of finding the answer was attributes on the file forming the date to look up. Have you looked at the file attributes on whatever image is in 53?

And speaking of owned, I'm still getting nowhere fast on 52. Starting over from scratch on it.
52 is not going very welll for me either.. and I'm all exhausted.. working at a gas station is very demanding.. especially if you're a girl.. puh
Well, trying getting off early from work...only to be called back to play softball later.:cry:
Well, still no headway on 52. Heres some of what I've done.
<I tried map, themap, and the_map with both jpg and htm extensions. None of these worked. I then tried superimposing themap.jpg from #16 overtop of the ,.jpg. The coordinate (67,126) was close to the words "Where are you?" on the image; in fact directly under the word 'where'. this prompted me to try where.htm, where.jpg, whereami.htm, and whereami.jpg. None of this worked so far, and it's likely just a coincidence with themap.jpg happening to nearly line up. Back to the drawing board again.
I've even gone so far as to look up maps of the actual transylvania area, but you can guess how successful THAT endeavour was. it's another one of those so simple its complicated ones...>
And I'm calling it quits for the day. Later!

How many ways is there to "view"/"look" at something?
I've tried fantasize, imagine, visualization etc.. no luck
im getting reaaallly sick and tired of 53. i know it has to be something obvious, but all my knee jerks fall short.
So about 53.
<There are several strange entries in the attributes for iknowall.jpg. The 'Title' field is '---->.' For a moment I thought maybe this was indicating a direction, eg. spaces after the arrow leading outside of the window, where a not-immediately-visible message was, but there are not. The 'Subject' field is 'gnvkhmfvhmc;' not much to work with here immediately. The 'Comments' field reads 'This time, don't look down...' I think this looks back to riddle 17; turn 2 into 3 and then you will see, where the answer was simply an offset based off of the keyboard. This leads me to think we need to translate 'gnvkhmfvhmc' into something, but its not going to be done by their positions on the keyboard.>

Well I'll be Ffut.. I can't seem to find how you got all that information O.o
You guys sure work a lot whenever I leave *laughs*
If the way I'm thinking you should find the answer is the way Ffut found it... I'm rather sorry to say for me, it never worked and for some reason, I could not get any information in that manner.

but its all i have. :frown:
i'll have to take up osX 101 to solve this. or maybe go to an internet bar to do this. :frown:
not sure if you can get Mozilla for Mac, but Mozilla has a built in view source for pictures, that you can view with that

Jul3-06, 07:25 PM
Perhaps that's it.. you see, I use Internet Explorer and Firefox.. and my friend who first showed me the riddles insisted I use explorer since he mentioned there were problems with things not showing up on Firefox.
If that's the case.. without Ffut's help, me, Iggy, and perhaps a few more were probably on the right track, but if the track is broken, of course, we were getting nowhere.

Knowledge without the ability to apply it is useless :-P Back to the grind! I'm going to solve this thing!
Is the picture important in solving 54?

Indeed. What is missing? Obviously a way through the wall...a door...whatever is missing. There is no bg sound (but that wasn't in some of the previous ones. I assume that "he has many names" is referring to lovecraft. Dark is written on the wall...It is their creation...

booooo lovecraft. that picture in 55 threw me so far off....goodness.
so what do we have so far...lovecraft has a lot of names, there is no painting and.....a big fat blank?

This just seems wrong to me...let people gather in their own groups. An "official" riddle forum takes away even more of the mystery.

Jul4-06, 12:54 PM
Well, my mind is also poking me with niggling questions...
Who is 'their' referring to?
Is their any significance to knowing them? Or their creation? Is it 'their' creation that's missing?
Oh.. don't mind me, thinking out loud x.x
Is it LC and ?
Dracula and ?
Or maybe LC and Dracula's scary monstrous child....
Gregulator
Jul4-06, 12:56 PM
Melody: I'm not sure, at first I thought it was vampires, and the answer was also vampires, because vampires can create vampires...
but I've all but buried those thoughts.
humans? monsters? arrggl...

This just seems wrong to me...let people gather in their own groups. An "official" riddle forum takes away even more of the mystery.
Good point. That is what I felt as well but I guess I fell for group pressure. I will do it again by taking away the forum =)

MelodyKitn
Jul4-06, 01:05 PM
Thinking out loud.... if it won't spark me, mebbe it'll light someone else up.
Who is 'Their'?
'What' is missing?
Who is 'he'?
Is 'their' creation what's missing?
Is 'their' creation a being (he)?
Is 'he' with many names missing?
We figure out who 'he' is... or what 'he' is...? Is 'he' the answer?

*buries an old thought in The Graveyard Of Dead End Thinking*
See.. at first I thought it had to do with Lovecraft's 'The Haunter of the Dark'....
Their creation > Cultists, or the Starry Wisdom cultists were 'their' (they 'create' gods or summon them)
Something Missing > Windows/Light ..the Dark Steeple...
The light was missing because the Dark Haunter couldn't go to where there was light...
The windows were sooty, and there were pictures on them, I think...
The dark steeple was the room where the shining .. I'm not even going to try to spell it offhand... was
He Had Many Names > Nyarlathotep (the cults worshiped him)
The Dark Haunter is an avatar of a god with many names (Nyarlathotep)
Robert Blake was a character made after Robert Bloch.. he wrote and painted... the seven canvases of unnamed horrors...
Lovecraft and Bloch created the trilogy of where The Haunter In The Dark was the second of the three stories...
So yeah... *pats the buried thought* It was good while it lasted...

hey guys.. just a thought.. in the picture.. a piece of brick is missing.. a broken brick.. i googled broken brick and lovecraft.. didn't expect anything.. but then instead i got a link! http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~wcoburn/hpl/waste.html
Waste Paper by HP Lovecraft..
But still haven't got anything with it..
Funny enough the words like 'missing' are in the poem.. i hope this is somewhere close.. not another red herring
EDIT: "A broken brick that didn't show" Ironic eh?
Quite ironic.. it might be something
Edit: Nah.. boxcutter said that we should get off google and think instead >.<
it is their creation..
Maybe the dark is someones creation.. somehow

Jul4-06, 08:53 PM
i bet the answer is staring back at us!
I think this is an incomplete riddle. Even with the new clue we don't know what is needed. We still have "it". What is "it"? We still have "their", who are they? We still have "he". All we know now is that "he" had three names.
Looking at the riddle itself all I can think of is that "it" could be the wall. The Wall is their creation? We still have the problem of "thier" implying more than one and the clue telling us about "he", a single person.
I think this is a bad riddle. I understand wanting to make harder riddles but this is only hard because none of the clues gives us a direction. Its still way too general.
Edit
It definitely seems to be a very broad riddle...but right now I don't feel that i'm in the position to complain. I mean, if I figure it out and realize that it was right in front of me all along, then i'm gonna feel...like an idiot for saying anything.
You're right Omega. I didn't mean to sound so harsh and I didn't mean to complain. The answer could very well be right in front of our noses and we just don't see it. I haven't stopped trying.

Jul4-06, 09:01 PM
The only part that really confuzzles me is whether or not I put the hints in relation to lovecraft or to the theme of the riddles.. dracula and whatnot...
If it's a jump from lovecraft to something else... that's some big jump ^^
SpeedyKupad
Jul4-06, 09:01 PM
Yes, but did he mean think before we google...or just think and not google...:rofl:
i guess he meant think and not google cos he knows we've had enough and more about lovecraft. and with what he said, it means we can find the answer by not googling for more.

I know, I am referring to the one "name that is already used." If we know this first name, then it is only a matter of time (short). I mean, is it lovecraft, nosferatu, the minotaur (is that what is depicted in the darkpainting?), or is it just plain "dark." Or is it something less obvious? (or more obvious)
I identified the painting used for riddle #55. Its called Dark Berserker and you can see it here. http://facezero.com.ne.kr/a.html Are there 3 names for a Berserker?

Good luck all, I hope you solve this one.. but I'm going to sleep now so I can't help until about 6-7 hours..
My gosh.. it's 6 am here in sweden >.<

Wow. What hurts the most is that you stayed up this late and we have not really done anything. Good night.:rofl:
Don't fret though...I will probably do the same...and I have to leave for work at 5:30.:rofl:

Are we free of the curse of 56?! ><
I keep trying all the norse stuff.. so far going nowhere.. so I'm probably chasing the wrong path again x.x

no, we're not, it's just out of control
Gregulator
Jul5-06, 12:32 AM
fitting that this riddle would be called "The Wall", because we've certainly hit one...
You found the next part of it?
You found the next part of it?
Just a lead (possibly). But we all know how that goes.
It isn't Pink Floyd is it? :)

From Lovecraft to Pink Floyd?! O.o That really would be a jump!

Jul5-06, 02:55 AM
michaelkenji, are you already in 56 as well?
Boxcutter
Jul5-06, 03:00 AM
i think this riddle is much harder than I thought it would be. I guess there are too many clues that don't seem to fit together. hence i removed the "it is their creation"-clue, because i think that one is the most misleading right now. You could probably solve the riddle without that clue, and that clue is not what you need to focus on right now.
i guess why this riddle came out to be so hard is because it is made a little different than the other riddles.
SpeedyKupad
Jul5-06, 03:10 AM
whew! now i have to reset my mind. honestly, the "something missing" clue is still at the back of my head. gotta set all those clues free.
SpeedyKupad
Jul5-06, 03:17 AM
this is funny -- i still find myself googling for dark and the he with three names. totally opposite of what my mind tells me to do. ive been addicted to google! i need an antidote. help me! :eek:
michaelkenji
Jul5-06, 03:36 AM
@speedy yeah i am.. i've followed the leads on your discussions but still can't come up with anything..
this has nothing to do with lovecraft anymore, right?
reggiewaters
Jul5-06, 03:42 AM
no lovecraft hasn't been ruled out yet.. infact it is something to do with one small fact out of EVERYTHING we know bout this riddle till now! Something which we have already used.. something we don't have to google for (oh my head aches even when i say 'google').. geez
SpeedyKupad
Jul5-06, 03:43 AM
i believe so. and we've all been googling for more than 24 hours now but none of us have hit the right spot. :biggrin:
i just went back to vlad the impaler, with him having 3 names (or more) and being the dark prince but don't know what to search about him at this point. :frown:
maybe i'll go back to the dark wall later and then my list goes on & on.
at least your mind is still fresh, mine's a mess. :frown: :confused:
michaelkenji
Jul5-06, 03:46 AM
i just tried satan, lucifer, beelzebub.. even their latin names.. still nada
michaelkenji
Jul5-06, 04:25 AM
skimming through lovecraft's writings.. i haven't found any reference to a he with three names yet.. hmmm
are we certain that one of the "names" have been used as an answer before? or just part of a clue or reference?
SpeedyKupad
Jul5-06, 04:34 AM
that we have to discover. but i have backtracked all the names that had been used but still no success. and believe me, ive read all the articles you are on right now. dont waste your energy on that.
im exhausted. but i shall not stop until i see #57.
SpeedyKupad
Jul5-06, 06:45 AM
reggie: what are you working on now? right or wrong im gonna concentrate on dracula alone. tough but im using trial & errror until i hit it. we've been working on this for ages. :tongue2:
reggiewaters
Jul5-06, 06:51 AM
i'm just backtracking a bit.. tired of mulling over the same clues.. i'm surprised that all of us are still working so hard on this for almost two days now! I mean if nobody got it after so much trying..
I'm not against challenges or anything.. i thrive them too.. but this is more of a dead end! U don't even know ur close or far..
reggiewaters
Jul5-06, 08:22 AM
hey speedy.. what's the scene? any luck? any hunch?
SpeedyKupad
Jul5-06, 08:31 AM
nada. our evil strategy didn't work ei. :biggrin:
Wow. What hurts the most is that you stayed up this late and we have not really done anything. Good night.:rofl:
Don't fret though...I will probably do the same...and I have to leave for work at 5:30.:rofl:
haha, I slept a bit longer than i intended xD
but now I'm back.. so what we've got?
reggiewaters
Jul5-06, 09:02 AM
I got something!!!!! But it says 55! But it's definitely not the 55 we've seen before!!!
reggiewaters
Jul5-06, 09:07 AM
where is everybody??
Boxcutter, why does the riddle say 55 again?
Boxcutter
Jul5-06, 09:10 AM
reggiewaters: you figure it out ;)
Satan/Lucifer/Devil
Vlad the impaler/Dracula/Vlad Tepes
Howard Phillips Lovecraft
I can't really think of anything else that really fits in to this.. but none of the names above works if you just write them in like that.
I wonder what "dark" is implying to.
I got something!!!!! But it says 55! But it's definitely not the 55 we've seen before!!!
what now?:bugeye:

hey zarii! think hard on this... 'he had three names, and we've used one'. Don't google!
I'm not.. I'm just temporarily stupid.. okey.. I'm still thinking about lovecraft but I'm not sure if that's the correct one. And if he is.. what to do next cuz his name ain't the answer.
55 don't say much to me >.<
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 09:31 AM
hey zarii! think hard on this... 'he had three names, and we've used one somewhere'. Don't google!
Does that mean the answer is a name we haven't used then? :zzz:
Too early in the morning.... *grumbles as she gets ready for work*

Does "somewhere" mean a previous riddle?

*cling* Zariiiiiii
I don't remember either.. and I'm not good of backtracking because of that :\
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 12:52 PM
Well, I can't backtrack regardless... I'm on a computer at work and it doesn't have anything that far back.
But.. it can't be so far back.. it has to be on these recent sets of riddles, right?
But I don't remember going anywhere that would fit the clue we have...
Speedy.. are u good at backtracking?
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 12:54 PM

I had serious trouble backtracking with the lovecraft thingy xD
I rarely save pages here and there so that i can go back so when I backtrack i'll have to start form the beginning or from dabi's path :P

Jul5-06, 12:57 PM
Same here Zarii.. except that since I'm here at work.. I only wrote down the address to the riddle I was currently on.. So, yep ^^ I'm at a standstill myself...
But we can't be backtracking too far
(Hey, I thought we weren't gonna have anymore of these riddle types *laughs*)
It has to be somewhere in these lands, right?

Btw.. how many of us has reached 59?
Boxcutter
Jul5-06, 01:10 PM
hehe i forgot about this one when i said that about the backtracking, but this one isn't that much of backtracking, since it is practically telling you where to go.
i put in an extra clue though, which was meant to be there but which i had forgotten about
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 01:11 PM
Until Greg and Omega get on and see the clues and progress, so far I count you, me, and Speedy makes three.
Oh, if Reggie were here, I think he'd be with us too.
*tugs on Iggy's string* C'mon Iggy! You're the best at backtracking!

Okay, looking at the map.. I know we're heading in the right direction... and I think I see our destination...
But... how we get there is ... troublesome.
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 01:49 PM
We're pretty much backtracking down to get to...
Given the path we've been taking...
O.o I think I've just confused myself...
Yeah, I totally just went in the wrong direction ^^
Omg.. I get lost even in a cybermap x.x
Where the f*** did the wind bite hard O.o
Are we sure we're thinking of the right place
I got 53 thans to a verbal slap in the face from Kaya :-P 54 stared me in the face for a bit before I got it, and 55 went down pretty easily too. Onto 56!
the most confusing one of them all.. i feel sorry for u ffut xD

GOT IT!
Ffut.. Thank you. I couldn't have found the way back without you :hugs:
(Dangit! I have to go to lunch!! Zari, as soon as you make your way there, I'll join in again, but I -have- to go eat)
how far is everyone.... cause I am still stuck on 52... and I have no idea what I am doing wrong.... I just can't figure out: Where I am....
Please someone point me in some direction... i got nothing....
The names of the locations we're visiting in this riddle aren't just random or made up. They're coming from something else. Do some research on some of the location names and you'll find out where, and from there you can find out the next step.
the most confusing one of them all.. i feel sorry for u ffut xD
Obviously the riddle is broken, because the answer simply must be Fidel Alejandro Castro.

x.x Please find me.. you know how lost I get without a partner to throw ideas off of >.<
I will find you.. I'm just a bit ehm.. slow :P
In all seriousness for number 56, I have tried the following names (various permutations of each and changes in order, single and multiple words used, .htm and .jpg for each) with no success:
<
Nero Claudius Caesar, Howard Phillip Lovecraft, Vlad Dracul Tepes, Dracula and various synonyms, Erida and various synonyms, Dea and various synonyms, Camilla / carmilla and various synonyms, Luke and various titles for him, Judas Iscariot and several titles and variations.>
I'm gearing up to do some more research, but this is what I've eliminated so far.
Am I moving in the right direction with this?

Greg, I'm on 60 and waiting for Zarii to come find me (she's on 59).
I'm clueless when it comes to puzzles without someone to bounce an idea off of... and this new puzzle is making me screwy @.@
Gregulator
Jul5-06, 02:33 PM
Alright, so how about a hint on 56?
I'm going to have to say that 56, 'The Wall' is aptly named. I've exhausted every combination of names that I found readily. Back to the drawing board.
once you hit a wall it might be smart to turn back
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 02:43 PM
*tugs on Greg's line* Greg!! I need you too!!
*whimpers* I don't feel safe here all alone...
*nibbles at her taco as she looks over the clues again*
Hmm.. I have an answer that should make sense... but it doesn't work!!
*flails*
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 02:57 PM
*grins and drags Zarii's line*
You better believe it!
Now we just need the others...
*tugs on everyone else's lines*
Oh man. 56 just got a LOT more complicated...
xD told ya it was confusing
How are u doing on the riddle Greg and where is omega and.. everybody else? :|
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 03:04 PM
Zarii, I'm back to not knowing what to do on 60.. I ended up with another thought for 'The Graveyard Of Dead End Thinking'...
Still glaring at the screen.. I have a right mind to punch that guy so he'll take us across *laughs*
But didn't my thought seem to make sense Zarii?
Your idea was great.. darn shame that it didn't work :\
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 03:21 PM
Aside from that idea I bounced off of you.. I'm getting nothing so far...
You?
The white and black shadow thingy behind the letters..
maybe that's what the mysterious shadows and glancing lights have in common
Edit: I believe that we have to work with these letters somehow
U M Y G I V C L A U
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 03:24 PM
I did.. that's how I first tried to get the answer I sent you...
but now I don't know what to do with those letters...
I can make out words.. but none of them fit...
Ok, so on 56 (spoilers possible for those still on the riddle. Even if you think you know everything, you very likely do not.)
<So I've located all three instances of the wall. The only differences between the three walls that are immediately apparent are the words on the bricks, and the fact that one of them has the words "It is their creation..." printed beneath them. I'm fairly confident that I can deduce an answer from all of this, I think the trick is going to be where to actually type the answer. I'm thinking either back on #54, or on the wall with the "It is their creation..." printed.>
Anyways, headed home now, more work tomorrow.

At least he tried ^^ That's a good thing.
Well Zarii.. I'm positively stumped... there must be something we're missing...

k so i have all of 56 and 55. i know what the words are, but somehow the answers that make sense are not working, anyone have any idea what im missing?
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 04:09 PM
Probably not Iggy.. 56 was definitely the stumper.. I think me and Zarii have the answer, but we just don't know how to.. uh... see how it's the answer ^^;

Jul5-06, 04:12 PM
err me and my brother r still trying 2 get this riddle..im actually glad that its a simple riddle for this one..but then im not cuz its hard

MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 04:18 PM
*cheers Seraph on* You can do it!!
Dang we need reinforcement here, hurry up people xD
iggy_killer
Jul5-06, 04:20 PM
im hurrying has fast has i can think
So close, but yet so far away.. aww..."old thought of mine"
The Letters with the lightest background without any shade is R and A
so i tried checking up wich letters with the darkest bakground was missing some shading and found out that there was a O and a S that did..
I put together the letters and got Raos wich i later on realized is Soar backwards.. but that wasn't the password so no luck there
iggy_killer
Jul5-06, 04:30 PM
i see a name with those letters
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 04:32 PM
That's how I tried to get Oars, Zarii *snickers* Thought it was so apt for an answer... but no dice
I'm feeling exhausted.. how about you guys?
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 04:35 PM
Yeah, 60 is definitely wearing me down *whimpers*
That's how I tried to get Oars, Zarii *snickers* Thought it was so apt for an answer... but no dice
What are we missing.. what might be of importance that we have forgotten about..
*yarn* I will not rest until i solve this one, maybe :rolleyes:
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 04:39 PM
I know.. I was so excited after we finally got past 56... stopping again feels so sad :cry:
I know.. I was so excited after we finally got past 56... stopping again feels so sad :cry:
We'll get it soon.. I'm working my *** off with this one :P
There are five colours with five letters each
We are probably searching for a five-letter word
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 04:50 PM
Hmm... okay, let's go down that path then..
I'm not sure.. but it would be nice if the 5-5-5 pattern turns out to be working

Sounds like the Domino's pizza deal :biggrin:

*Zarii sings along with winamp to empty her mind*

Hmm, back to the riddle then
haha, true that boxcutter...
*Wishes he had time to look at 58*
Greg, at what time do you think you will be able to take a look at 58.. Sorry if i'm stressing you or something but three brains are better than 2 and as me and Melodyktn said.. we are stuck :)
Gregulator
Jul5-06, 05:58 PM
well, if it's like the grim reaper riddle, then I should be able to knock it out pretty quickly, but again, I haven't had too much time to look at it, and I won't have much time to look at it after work because I have some plans to take care of... but I'll try to look at it while I'm here
iggy_killer
Jul5-06, 06:00 PM
im halfway through 58...ill be there soon...i seem to be having the right idea...i hope i am
Yeah.. it's almost a reminder of that one

At one point, I would have thought.. Maria.. but she doesn't fit the clues either...

"X is where you start", what x?
"This is THE first image", why is "THE" written in capital letters and not "FIRST"

The problem is err.. that I'm stumped again..
Well, I'm stumped too. I probably shouldn't be, but I have lost the spark for now. I can see the connections, but nothing.
if x is where to start where do you finish?
MelodyKitn
Jul5-06, 09:59 PM
If there's something in the picture.. then I can't get it, regardless (like a source code info)... So it has to be something else...
Finishing still doesn't explain the capital lettered hint...

I don't think it's anything in the picture

Then i thought okey.. if you start at x then you might finish at y.. + the "THE" makes "They" but no luck there either
MelodyKitn

P-S
S-V
maybe?

Jul5-06, 11:29 PM
Have no idea how you got those letters... but there's not enough vowels...
All we have is A to work with and that won't support the whole word I think O.o
i wish i could just swim across west river...but this ferryman isnt playing nice since kitn kicked him...
I don't think that really happened. Kitn DID something, and i'm sure it had something to do with giggles.
Nah.. i was thinking at that little square if we gruop the letters A-D to the first column, this might work

i stepped out for a moment, any news? im still at X.
michaelkenji
Jul6-06, 03:49 AM
there's a pattern in the small grid.. turning A to D and D to G, etc, is made by counting 3 letters after the current letter.. if we start at X and do that, we go back at A..
i already tried this pattern on the capitalized letters but none of them looked plausible.. probably we're looking at either an eight letter or a ten letter answer..

don't worry zarii, we don't wanna leave this level without you. just like #56 remember? so far i have nothing. that phrase i got was ridiculous, dont even bother. its garbage.

the capital letters must be in order. and there's a double letter in the answer. the problem now is how do we use these grids? aaaaaargh!

Btw, that "DarnYouBoxcutter.htm" wasn't mine! :biggrin:
Just wanted to bounce the ones I have for 58 off of you guys, let me know if any of these are flat out wrong...
<
1) his reflection was shattered...
7: With Zariis assistance, seven years of bad luck for breaking a mirror
2) count the winds...
4: The four winds, north, south, east, west.
3) the wounds of our savior...
5: The wrists, the ankles, and the side.
Note: Trying 6 and 7 here as well to see if the crown of thorns and the whipping of the back are included. Generally is considered 5.
4) Optsprezece
18- Romanian for eighteen, simple.
5) It is perfect and the smallest of its kind...
1- going with 1 here, don't know what else it would be.
6) If you throw me away, this burden will be lifted.
Not a damned clue.
7) misfortune.
13- thirteen is an/the unlucky number.>
Am I flat out wrong on any of these?
about getting to the squares of hell -.- the answer is right under your face.. it's darn obvious once you think of it
Why am I always missing the obvious ones? :mad:
number 2 is wrong..and so is number 5(use google at that one)
number 3 is 5 so don't use six or seven.

you people don't have to worry so much. first of all i only see the logs by IPnumber and I would never know who is who. second: thirteen thousand people have tried this game so far, i'm not sure how many are still playing but at least that is how many unique hits i have had on the first riddle. whatever the number of people playing right now is, i get lots and lots and lots of guesses in the logs and there is no way i can keep track of it all, besides i only check the logs every now and then to see how people are doing.
boxcutter: is someone even close to cracking lvl 61 from what you see in the logs?
i haven't checked the logs but if i look at your posts on this forum none of the words and combinations you have come up with have been particularily close. perhaps the way you obtained those letters were close to what the "actual" way is, but unless you do it completely correct, you will not get the right word. however IF you do it correctly, you will have no doubt that that is the right way, since you will get a very straight forward, understandable word...

For 59,
<I've looked into the locations we've passed so far. Of those, the Town of Alba, Laruba Mansion, and Aljiba Cemetery have mention of wind, but not of the 'biting' variety.
I'm assuming one of these is where I need to go, and I'm looking at the map now. Of those, Laruba Mansion and Aljiba Cemetery don't appear to have a path east of them, so I'm assuming I need to poke around the Town of Alba.>
That being said, unless I'm off in that assumption, I just need to figure out how to take the east path from there.
Edit: Wait. Looking at the map... ,the mansion we have left to go to is the Brahm mansion... so where do I go east from to get closer to that? hmm...>

Yep, it used to be that W and I (the first letters of the sentences) were also capitalized (grammar and all, he probably just didn't realize it)... so they were made into the lower case letters, and that's the change.

Anyone notice that 'infront' is one word in the clue?
The box on the left is obviously like a compass, it tells you where to go. You start at x, but how do you know where to go next?
Just brainstorming here.
Aha, the first letters of sentences were changed. This doesn't help. :uhh:
Quick bit of assistance with number 60. I don't have the best eyesight and I'm having difficulty determining which of two of the shades is actually darker; I can see that they're different shades, but it's an extremely difficult call to make. Since thats related to the riddle and you guys have already solved it, you can tell me that without giving the whole thing away. Of the U and H on the first line, which is a darker shade?
Haha.. now i'm playing with the letters and a scissor..

That's the thing we haven't manage to figure out yet
You start at x, but how do you know where to go next?
Maybe the letters from source should be of help to find the next start point. But how? :confused:
Did you notice that the "x" is at the intersection of the row and column that have A and H as their first/last letters (A and H being the first two capital letters in the source) Maybe it's just a coincidence.
I never noticed that until now O.o
I tried to follow this logic but, after 5 steps, got nowhere.
And the x is on the "diagonal" that begins/ends with H/A. Don't think this is of any use though.
<edit> And the other diagonal is RM, the following two letters in the source!
Too many coincidences here! </edit>
<edit2>But the other letters from source don't follow this "rule". </edit2>
Failed word count for number 60: 7 and climbing.

ADGUJSPM... the letters in the mini-grid... what do I do with them?...
RTYEBOSN... the letters in the bigger grid... where I'm supposed to begin?...
A means 'northwest'
M means 'southeast'
D means 'north'
Where did you get that from? :confused:

Where did you get that from? :confused:
Thats translating from the compass
Well, my latest attempt yeilded "nnau" - its almost a word
Zarii, any success with the scissors? I hope you didn't hurt yourself so you cannot type anymore :smile:
AHRMTYD:
A means 'northwest'
M means 'southeast'
D means 'north'
Maybe the other letters have somethign to do with their position in the alphabet?
But then how do you divide the other four letters amont those three directions?
Maybe try putting the alphabet in a rough circle?
M is in the middle of the alphabet, so should be opposite A which is in the beginning of the alphabet. D would be between A and M, but much closer to A, so North. that would put R at South, T at southwest, Y at west...
I'm not on 61 so I dunno exactly what you're seeing, but just a thought.
Thats translating from the compass
Of course! My brain is on fire, so I can't see even the obvious.
But, are the cardinal points of any help? :confused:

*flies down and tugs on Zarii's shirt while pointing accusingly*
He's being meeeaaaan....
*sulks back up to the rafters to stare at the puzzle more*
Haha.. I'm cutting out some figures..
I've tried replacing the capitalized letters with numbers, that might tell how many steps to move with the compass pointing out where to, but i don't really get something usefull by that either
Bad Frankling, shame on you.:wink:
Still lost on 60. How irritating :-/
FranklinDR
Jul6-06, 12:30 PM
I dont think it takes rocket science to complete, none of the others have had really complecated methods - just arcane ones. Maybe we shouldnt be looking at the actual capital letter, but its position in the sentence? Probably not, but just thought I'd throw that out there.
hi, i would like to try this, but I can't even get past level one...any help?
Brent, use the alphabet xD

Maybe we shouldnt be looking at the actual capital letter, but its position in the sentence?
I've also tried this idea. But... what to do with the question marks? Count them or not? Same with spaces :confused:
FranklinDR
Jul6-06, 12:47 PM
Bad Frankling, shame on you.:wink:
*Crawls solemnly back into corner*
Ok, a couple things I noticed: A and G (corners of the compass) are also corners of the grid - but the others dont mach up, so its probably coincidence.
Now, the sentence:
whAt is tHis gRid infront of you? it seeMs soMeone is Trying to confuse You, Doesn't it?
Capital letters are at (word, letter)
1,3
3,2
4,2
9,4
10,3
12,1
15,1
16,1
It doesnt look like any sort of pattern, but if you see any answers in there, please tell.
Okey let say this then..
AHRMMTYD
represents the numbers 32243111
wich might be the number of steps to go by when we later on use the little grind as a "compass", but how do we find out wich directions we should go in?
FranklinDR
Jul6-06, 12:51 PM
but how do we find out wich directions we should go in?
Uhhh.... magic?
On a brighter note, I somehow ended up with "Dry Math" from the anagram solver. Maybe this is some sort of morbid joke?

This cannot be a simple anagram thingie. We have to use somehow the grids.

Jul6-06, 01:03 PM
Yeah, but I keep having an urge to do it like a word find. So far I have found "mersqn", "groaz", "waup", and "traucd" - some of them are lamost words.
Ok, back to staring blankly at the grid.
Haha.. my father is working on it too, I kinda commanded him to solve it for me xD

MAYBE it's an incredebly obvious answer with nothing to do with the letters or the grid, and he's trying to confuse us.
Well, thats how it would work in MY little world.

LOL, that would be something! But i don't think it's the case though.
I'm asking myself: WHY is x the point where to start from? I know, because the riddler said so :smile: But... maybe this starting point is set by a rule/method that will help us to find the next point.
Se you all in a little while, I'm going to watch Family guy and then Gladiator on tv.. Good luck, and as always, If you figure out the answer don't forget about me :)

There is a very good hint given by Zarii a few pages back. And you'll have to find more than a single word.
Do you think one might find out the answer on 61 by just trying to find that 8 letter long word without having to use the compassthingy?

Blargh. I could have sworn I had 60...
< I eliminated the shaded/lighted letters, and descrambled the remainder to get "forsakenthreads" but it still isn't working. I think I'm getting closer though.>
ffutahw: the first row, the square in which the H is is brighter than the square in which the U is. sorry for making it so unclear. try increasing the contrast in some image editing program
No, it's ok, you aren't responsible for my own shortcomings :devil:
ffutahw: try using another system for descrambling them.. remember: it's getting darker...
Thats what I was doing initially before the hint to ignore the ones with shadows. Going from brighter to darker squares with the shaded ones removed is making it exceedingly difficult to form any words. I'll keep at it though. Urgh, the medium red color needs vowels dammit!
Lala.. *I'm singing in the.. ehm.. dark?*
This ain't going well, I've almost given up finding a sistem.. at this point I'm just guessing words
ffutahw: the shaded ones removed... what about the glaring lights?
I have the ones with the bright background removed as well. Are they supposed to remain?
Boxcutter
Jul6-06, 03:28 PM
i'm not sure what you mean by bright background, seeing as some of the squares are bright
i'm not sure what you mean by bright background, seeing as some of the squares are bright
I meant the ones that appear to have lights behind them as opposed to shadows.
Whatever the case, I gotta get out of here, so I'll get back to it tomorrow. Maybe it'll come to me tonight.

45: The relic with "Everything is the key" written on it. I'm guessing it has something to do with "Nothing is the key", but I can'r really remember what I did back then.

Ok, I might have made some progress. Heres my musings:
AHRMMTYD
AH RM MT YD
Northwest 8 spaces (N)
Southeast 18 spaces (X or I)
Southeast 20 spaces (I or H)
Up 24 spaces (V or G)
There are two answers for the last ones: the first is if you continue from the last letter you got, the second is if you go from x each time.
So NXIV (is there an N in roman numerals?) or NIHG: Im not getting anything, but if you get something brilliant from it, then thats cool.
I guess everyone is suddenly on 61...:devil: :mad:

Mine is not working out well, even though I RECRUITED people to help me go over it.
My idea was this: Start at x, of course.
Now we have A H R M M T Y D in the source. So we start at x, and connect x (only the A gets connected to the x, the rest get connected to the letter before it) to the different letters (in order, the problem with this is that there are still many possible routes to go) and record the letter of the direction we went to get there. Nothing I have so far really makes any sense. Another problem is the two m's...they don't connect well. A is also the only vowel you can use this way.
What was your idea?

Only idea I had was superimposing the mini-grid on top of the big grid and then pairing up the letters... AR DT GY JB MN PS SO VE...
So then I thought.. okay, Third Letter Rule from the mini-grid... which had the third letter gaps?...
P > Q > R > S <--*Third Letter Rule...
Okay.. I know where to go... but.. where does AHRMMTYD fit in?
So I tried following the numbers from A = 1 H = 8 and so on...
So now I'm looking for a pair only one apart...
MN...
Great!
But then... dead end.

So then I thought.. okay, Third Letter Rule from the mini-grid... which had the third letter gaps?...
P > Q > R > S <--*Third Letter Rule...
Okay.. I know where to go... but.. where does AHRMMTYD fit in?
So I tried following the numbers from A = 1 H = 8 and so on...
So now I'm looking for a pair only one apart...
MN...
Great!
But then... dead end.
*cry*
that idea actually inspired a theory
I had thought to try using the smaller grid as a compass, and for each letter, counting its position in the row in spaces in that direction on the long grid, moving to the opposite side of the grid when appropriate.
Eg; first letter in the sequence moves 1 space from the x. second letter starts from the x again, and moves two spaces in the indicated direction, etc. Came up with "RUKDRTXA" but that didn't do it. Going to try a variation on this pattern before launching a few other ideas I have.
Edit: Tried it again, this time doing it all in series rather than restarting from X each time. Result: "ruipaffu"
Given all of the jibberish that we come up with...maybe we should just assign everybody a letter and go through the dictionary...:cry: If it is a name...then...:cry:

Jul6-06, 11:50 PM
this was my idea. given the third letter rule from the small grid, we get the value of * = Y. assuming that X = *, i changed the x on the mastergrid to Y. then i followed the 3rd letter rule beginning with Y and changed all of the letters from the grid. i tried two variations already:
1) original letter + 3: to decode the letters AHRMMTYD, I tried getting the letters starting from Y, but like i said wasn't good. :cry:
2) Y + 3 and so on: to decode, i used the small grid again, to make a window. by locking in the letters from the small to big grid, i get the letter that falls in the * position. but it was a disaster! :cry:
so, give me a @%$%$ letter so i can run down the dictionary!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:
are we looking for an 8 letter word with a double on the 4th & 5th place?

sorry to disappoint you but its also a dead end. that's why i came to the point wherein i had to create a formula to change all of the letters on the big grid. but still, it wasn't successful. :frown:

franklin: do you have any idea why the x is at point 7, 5?
FranklinDR
Jul7-06, 01:56 AM
Im guessing its just cause thats where you need to start in order to get the answer: the answer is probably a word hidden in the grid, and you need to start at X and jump around in a special way to get to it. I dont think you could get any clues from the exact position of X without knowing exactly what you are looking for, but hell, we have no other leads. Ill see what I can dig up about that.
SpeedyKupad
Jul7-06, 02:16 AM
that is what ive been thinking about since yesterday. if x is where we should start, isn't that an awkward position? i would understand it more if it were in the corner or middle.....but there has to be a reason and once we find that out, we'll know where we're headed.
also, can it be that the 'x' (starting point) isn't the 'x' that we are seeing? that's why in the source it says "it seeMs soMeone is Trying to confuse You." maybe that's whats confusing us all. if thats the case then we should find out where to start.
all these are just questions i have in mind. unfortunately, they seem to have no answer and useless.

Jul7-06, 04:10 AM
First off, ahrmmtyd is henseforth a word pronounced "arm tee dee", of unknown deffinition. Second, the most promising method I have found of getting ahrmmtyd into the picture is pairing: four letters are on the compass, four arent, so pair em and use the compas one as the direction and the other one as the number of spaces. I havent had any luck, though.

In the spirit of blatantly refusing to be smacked in the face with the hint, let's see if I can dodge it! What if we try some of the old methods, only we skip X if we double back on it?

Hmm, this feels a bit like twenty hours without sleep. Anyway, a lot of the methods run into X again - Im guessing we ditch those, although we could just "skip" x. But skipping it seems kinda against the grain of the new clue, so yeah. Lets find some non re-x'ing methods!

im back
*cleans up the table* *prints another copy of papa grid & baby grid then looks on her gleaming new pad*
i get the feeling that this riddle isn't too complicated as we perceive it to be.
*finally decides to get organized and use a scientific approach*
problem: what's the mystery word?
hypothesis: AHRMMTYD
solution:
step#1. use the small grid as a directional guide.
step#2. identify the correct directional flow. (clockwise. start at NW end with W as in the pattern of the small grid)
step#3. identify the number of steps needed to fall from x to the mystery letter. (rule of 3s or 1-8-18-13-13-20-25-4???)
step#4. search. use x as point 0.
step#5. read.
findings: ?????
conclusion: ????
*then finally decides to take another breather*
FranklinDR
Jul7-06, 05:31 AM
step #6 (franklin exclusive): sit back and watch as SpeedyKupad saves the day.
Ok, my findings: It's tough to get a comprehensible word that doesnt cross X again.
I tried pairing the ahrmmtyd with the compass - a to a, d to h, etc then going the ahrmmtyd number value in the direction indicated and got nothing. And Im in the habbit of modifying the answers I get by the rule of three and seeing if its any good, but no luck. So unless I did it wrong due to sleep deprivation, I think we can rule that method out.
Oh eff, looking back I realize that I'm not entirely sure that Ive been doing diagonal moves that go off the board correctly. What the confusing. Time to go back and try the old methods again.
SpeedyKupad

Jul7-06, 06:15 AM
So, if our last two posts are good, the whole compas pairing idea still doesnt work very well because it runs over X again when you hit the third letter. If you modify every letter by 3 first, then you get gibberish. Although I am pretty sure that our answers which dont make sense might become sensicle if we apply the rule of 3. Anyone getting anywhere else?

Did you mean pairing ahrmmtyd to the compass? Because then you get:
NW 1
N 8
NE 18
E 13
SE 13
S 20
SW 25
W 4
Dunno if that helps. Also, remember that it can be rule-of-three'd to add three to all the numbers - but 26 is the highest number, so SW would become 2, not 28.

Boxcutter

you will never reach the end of the grid if you do it correctly, so if that happens, you know it's the wrong way to do it
FranklinDR
Jul7-06, 07:04 AM
Yeah, going around the grid seems scetchy. I would normally say to start from X each time, but given the new hint we know now not to do that. Uh, 32243111 is about as small as they get, and they still go through, so I dunno. We know we can't go around... maybe we start from a different direction? But the compass sarts with A, so you think you would start with NW.
On 61 (all speculation)
<Working off of the assumption of the small grid as a compass, and the current positions of letters on the grid, here is a possible re-working of the small grid to include the entire alphabet. I've arranged them into groups of three, with the central letter in each grouping being the letter indicated in the small grid on 61. 8 spots x 3 = 24 letters total, leaving two characters as 'extra.' It was a tough call for where to place X, Y, and Z respectively, but I grouped Z with A based on the visual clue that each letter on the small grid was the middle of a group of three letters. As for X and Y, I stuck them in the center of the grid, indicating no movement; this may change. I did this because I thought the clue about x may not only refer to the large grid; it may indicated (the / one of the) letters meant for the 'center' of the small grid. As currently laid out, each grouping points to a simple north, northeast, east, etc. direction.
i78.photobucket.com/albums/j113/ffutahw/compassmaybe.jpg
Possible variation: for the outlying letters in each group, for every three "steps" move two spaces in the groups direction and one in the next direction over, similar to the pattern that a knight moves in chess. Example: D is a given as north, so for every three steps, all three would be north. C is to the west of D, but still in D's group, so for every three steps, move two to the north, and one to the northwest. E, on the other hand, would move two to the north and one to the northeast.
For some reason, I don't think the 'rule of 3' carries as much weight as some of you guys think it does, and I think the skipping of letters may be more relevant when used in this way, to indicate variations on grid movement. However, it's a simple matter to just apply a 'rule of three' to each attempt and compare the results to what you get without the rule of three.>

Hmm- maybe try un-3ing it to get even smaller numbers? 0, -1, -1, 1, 0, -2, -2
0's are a problem, though, and it doesnt seem to incorperate the controller. With that, I think I have to leave, although I'll streach it out as long as possible. When I get back, I expect you guys to be nearly finished - erecting a statue in my honor, that is. Dont worry, I'll be back in time to pull you guys out of the fire. Hell, a few more riddles like 61 and I wont be more than a couple riddles behind! :tongue2:

Oh, I'm bringin my copy. Ive become quite efficent at riddle printouts ever since they started getting tough, ive been carrying em around in my pocket whenever I'm out of the house. The printout for this one even has a nice litte guide for me on where each diagonal ends up if I exit the grid on a diagonal, although I hear I wont be needing that.
On a bright note, let's all celebrate for siblings that refuse to get up! It appears I can still be here untill someone successfully drags my brother out of bed.
I tried a couple methods involving actually moving the entire grid, centered around the x, based off of that series, but stopped when something struck me.
Boxcutter said that once we got the proper method, the answer would be obvious and we wouldn't need to do any unscrambling. If the grid itself is whats actually moving around, we'd be able to eyeball an answer without shifting the grid around, I would think. Well, I've got some other stuff to try.

Got your PM and responded. Tried a new tact, but just got gibberish again.
Results so far:
<So far, words I've gotten _close_ to with pathing I've tried have been 'initiate' (several spaces off for some letters) and 'incubus' (no more than one space off of each letter, and sort of in theme with the riddles thus far, but one character too short.). The actual results have still been gibberish however.>

Melody- Theres a new hint in the source, it isn't much but it is something. Other than that, we've tried different methods of pathing our way through the grid, and have even tried moving the entire grid (centering it around x) through several paths. Still nothing solid yet.
I had a left field thought and thought perhaps we were meant to REMOVE the letters we encountered on our little path, but that didn't shed any more light than anything else I've done, so it's a buried idea too.
SpeedyKupad
Jul7-06, 09:46 AM
i get a strong feeling that we still dont have the right set of numbers. the directions doesn't matter much to me now cos if thats the problem then it will be easier to adjust. any ideas on this? :rolleyes:
boxcutter: how about changing the alphabet to numbers? :biggrin: :devil:
I'm thinking we're getting closer, but at an exponentially slower rate.
Still nothing conclusive...
SpeedyKupad
Jul7-06, 10:01 AM
yup, we're definitely doing the right thing now. but we have to make a few changes on each step one by one in order to hit the right one. either we change directions, the number of steps. those two are the only ones not certain now. are we to count everytime from x or just start there then connect the dots.
I just had a crazy thought that I'm going to try...
Nope, failure. rrz, quit there. If only it was like a maze that we could eventually solve just by continually turning left :-P

Incubus - An evil spirit believed to have sexual intercourse with women as they sleep.
Do you really think I would use that as an answer? haha.. i'm surprised there's even a word for such a thing
Thats only one translation of an incubus, where its seen as the male counterpart of the succubus. The most true to the mythos version of the word refers in general to evil spirits who drain their victims life essences while they sleep; attributed to crib death among other things.
Boxcutter
Jul7-06, 10:26 AM
I suppose succubus and incubus is the same thing then, if you use that definition? Or is there still a difference between them even though you leave out the sexual intercourse with men and women respectively?

In the sexual aspect of things, succubi are usually associated with seduction as opposed to incubi who apparently take unwilling victims. In fact, some writers have portrayed succubi and incubi as the same demon, able to choose male or female form at will.
But the 'evil seductress' persona existed before the terms succubus and incubus, and thats where the succubus came from, as opposed to the incubus which has its roots as an incorporeal spirit.

ffutahw: i've done some reading about incubuses and succubuses now. most sources claim they have something to do with sexuality and intercourse but as you say, some of them also tell me that incubuses are also considered to be the draining-type of demons who will slowly drain your soul.
the succubus however, seems to only be involved in sexual matters.

so the plurals are succubi and incubi? i got the notion that Incubi is the word for the attacks that these demons commit, but I suppose that page was a little off, since most other pages use the ending "i" for the plural form

Compass... compass... but how many steps?
*she mumbles as her wings furl and unfurl in frustration*
I know where to go... but how do I get there?...
*she stops and looks up at her sleeping comrades and smiles. Tilting her halo, she looks back down and gets to work, ever more intending on trying to help get herself and her new friends out of this entranceway to nab the relic and on their way to face Dracul himself...*
Boxcutter -> Succubi and Incubi have different roots; they are seen now as the male and female of the same type of demon, but while the succubus originated as a seductress, whereas the incubus originated as a life draining spirit.
As to the riddle, I had some more thoughts at lunch which may get us somewhere or may just give us more gibberish.
<
These two thoughts are only vaguely similar.
The first was sparked by Boxcutters hint to look at the small grid as a game controller. While a compass needle points north regardless of how you turn it, a game controller remains in the position you hold it in, and only rotates when you rotate it. With that in mind, suppose you rotate the grid with "you" as you follow the path on the larger grid. Meaning, if you start with "A" which is a diagonal move up and to the left, rotate the smaller grid so that "D" is now in the upper left corner, while "A" is in the middle left, always keeping "D" pointed in the last direction you turned. This would create a wholly different type of path than anything we've used before, which is frustrating considering all of the number combinations we've already tried, but may get us somewhere.
The other idea is that the small grid in fact is a compass of sorts, but rather than always pointing North, the compass always points in the direction of the X; in other words, we rotate the small grid so that the same character is always facing the X after each step we take. The difficulty here is in determining the initial orientation of the compass. There are two possibilities here, and the first of those is the simple one we've been following before; D indicateds north. The other is that the small grid is already pointing at north where it is pictured on the image itself. That makes 'J' the initial 'north' in this case.>
I'm going to start working with these ideas for now.

I dunno. It's possible. But Boxcutter did say that the riddle was possible without the new hint, and this was just added to clarify it for people who subsequently get here. It's worth looking into though, nothing else has worked yet. I'm still playing with some whacky Ideas I had.

< mkay so we have these numbers here 693518274 and 138672495..i decided to pair them up 6,1|9,3 etc. and i would open up paint and draw a line from one point from the buttom to the top...after that see what letters are not crossed out and used them for an answer..ill try tweaking it and see if i can get anything...>
Anyone want to help me with 29? I got nothing...

iggy_killer
Jul8-06, 06:14 AM

err my plan got shot down...back to the drawing board
michaelkenji
Jul8-06, 06:27 AM
this surely has something to do with letters on the intersection of the lines.. or also, the letters that the lines intersect.. but the problem is which of the intersected letters to choose? there's so many.. gotta try another way
SpeedyKupad
Jul8-06, 06:31 AM

Well, I'm still thinking of the white dots, who are 9 and the numbers 1- 9 who are written in different orders, I'll just have to figure out where the roads met
I have a pic full of roads and crossroads :smile: And too many letters :uhh:

I can sorta understand the link to the flower (at least compared to the Impaler), I can't understand what we're looking for in terms of the word needed....
Yeah, there is a plant with his name, but not this one. Or am I wrong and I didn't identified correctly the plant?
MelodyKitn
Jul9-06, 11:23 AM
No, this plant is in no way named after Vlad
((Although I did see the Dracula orchid.. it's not this particular flower...))
No, this plant is in no way named after Vlad
By "his name" I meant Dracula's, no Vlad's. I don't quite agree that Vlad the Impaler is the same as Dracula :smile:
MelodyKitn
Jul9-06, 11:44 AM
Me and Iggy did find a flower possibly named after Vlad's granddaughter.. but we're not sure if we're following another rogue trail..
iggy_killer
Jul9-06, 11:52 AM
yea im not finding anything about his granddaughter...only stock numbers, hungarian brand susages, and some water boy in portland oregon
Don't you hate it when you find what you're looking for on google, click on the link, and then find that the webpage no longer exists?
This is happening to me now! :mad: Almost all of the links in the Goggle search results end up in a "The page cannot be displayed" message. :grumpy: I think the storm have damaged something. Or maybe it's the hand of Dracula :smile:
MelodyKitn
Jul9-06, 11:58 AM
I vote for the hand of Dracula... I think we need Omega to come smack the hand with a beatstick of some sort....

Well... I'm drawing a blank still.. I'd say it'd relate to his wives.. but if they're 'as untouched as a virgin'.. couldn'tve been them....
unless 'her' is another object we can't figure out >,<
*hugs Omi*
It's okay, you'll beat up Dracula even without the beatstick ^^

Can we just pick the flower and leave? :grumpy:

Gonna try to solve this later...
I think I know too much about Vlad and Lovecraft since doing these riddles... And I hate remembering things cause I have a bad memory -,-
I think I'll watch the football final :smile: Anyway, google doesn't work and I run out of ideas for now. Good luck everybody!

Who else here are on 68?
I talk(write) to much, don't I ? >.<
SpeedyKupad
Jul9-06, 06:57 PM
hi everybody! present on 68!
*starting to feel nauseated at the sight of the image*
i didn't sleep well because i was half awake/dreaming of the square & dots. :yuck:
:rofl:
At first i thought that that square had something to do with the map, but since i couldn't explain to myself why it would have something to do with that I left the idea.. and that's how far my brain has had time to think about it
SpeedyKupad
Jul9-06, 07:04 PM
i'll be back to do some serious thinking after i find myself food. i need energy. :)
Food is nice :)
I've been constantly eating on something since I got home from work, wich was about 4 hours ago..
Talk to me people >.<
before I go to bed.. ouch.. work tomorrow and it's almost 2.30 am
SpeedyKupad
Jul9-06, 07:28 PM
i'm back. but not for long.
so, i have been thinking about the dots and i just noticed that they come in different sizes! But so what?!?!?!
Maybe the bigger dots are more important than the small ones, to begin with..
"The guidance" + some dots (some of them are bigger than others) + a square thingy + the letters "Te" + "You have used it before" = ???
SpeedyKupad
Jul9-06, 07:36 PM
now, zarii's on fire! :wink:

SpeedyKupad
Jul9-06, 07:42 PM
okay, let's take it nice and slow. one at a time. first, figure out what the square and the dots represent. i had a lot of ideas before but couldnt get it right. apparently, that image is needed to get to the answer.

Because of the square and the words "you have used it before", I'm thinking map, grind or that square at the ferryman..
the dot's must represent a letter of some sort

Good morning people.
I must ask:
Does anyone have a problem with the ads on the "lost.htm" page? Do they bother you at all, or is it okay that they are there?
michaelkenji

i'm not annoyed.. as long as the ads stay on the window, they're fine for me.. i hate popups..
michaelkenji
Jul10-06, 02:53 AM
on 68..
i tried using all of the previous answers that have the letters T and E in them, and also with the answers written backwards - to no avail..
i wonder what the square and dots are for? :confused:

don't ask me. I have nooooo idea what that is! Swear! :wink:
michaelkenji
Jul10-06, 03:58 AM
LOL in line with "you have used it before", the usage of previous answers proved useless..
as for other stuff we've used:
1) silk bag - encryption tool doesn't look usable here
2) helper - no other letters to input
3) map - sure, the points look like coordinates, but they're kinda small
4) grids - the grid in "oldoak-b" (i think) is the closest one in size compared to this square
i'm guessing that the answer starts with the word "The" (from T_e)..
going out in a while.. i might be left behind again when i get back :p
Good morning *yawn*
1pm here xD
Btw.. boxcutter said that there wasn't going to be more backtracking.. so maybe we used, whatever we now used before, not so long ago

MelodyKitn
Jul10-06, 10:50 AM
Maybe it's some kind of picture or text.. where if you put it on top of the picture and check the dots, they'll have a secret message...
makes me remember the 'enlightenment' story..
There are three references to 'guidance' in there, and only one of them starts out with 'the guidance'...
Worth a check?
I can't do it here at work tho, I don't have any programs :cry:

has anyone gotten somewhere with 68? :)
ffutahw
Jul10-06, 03:28 PM
The forum tells me that 62 will just come to me if I keep thinking about it. So I'm not going to ask for a hint, just another cup of coffee.
I'm home from work, hungry and now I'm going to solve this one xD
"Maybe it's some kind of picture or text.. where if you put it on top of the picture and check the dots, they'll have a secret message..."
I believe that it's something like that

I know I can, I just need to backtrack a little

well thats not good...i always get distracted by either music or tv haha
Okey.. so we are still in the inverted world of dora.. maybe the answer is connected to the previous levels of dora?
Ah.. music.. my life.. :D
Iggy help me backtrack and send me links of the dora levels :P

Does anyone have a problem with the ads on the "lost.htm" page? Do they bother you at all, or is it okay that they are there?
As long as they are not pop-ups...I am good. Honestly, they really don't ruin the game. It was a little wierd at first, but I'm sure we will all get over it.
Basically, you put a lot of effort into making this riddle, and I see no reason for you to not take advantage of it. But, do as you see fit.
Edit: So you removed them huh? It is good with me.
Old shrimp does not taste good at all.. :\

Has anyone solved 68?
or noticed the new clue in the source code?

Am I the only one alive? O.o

nope...its 5:45am here...and not even tired
Woah! :\
And here it's 11.45am xD
Any new ideas how to crack this one with the new clue and all?
Haha, there's chocolate all over my white pants..looks funny xD

Jul11-06, 06:03 AM
...well how did u do that? now is it from a chocolate bar or chocolate syrup?

It sure does :)
But pärlsocker taste the best on buns xD
20 Degrees C, here in the north of sweden, woho, time to go swimming in the lake soon
Boxcutter do you pity us? :)
Just thinking about that H you gave us xD
Iggy, are you still awake?
Boxcutter
Jul11-06, 06:50 AM
just realizing perhaps the riddle should be a bit easier after all.
two people have solved it though.
going swimmin in lake yuba eh? i wouldn't..
(and eating pärlsocker on buns is heresy!)
Oh.. 2 smart persons, because I'm still getting nowhere, but well, I have been a bit distracted with other things :P
But the water seems so inviting, and I'm burning up >.<
Nah, It's the greatest, you're just weird, even weirder than me
I'm thinking in one direction right now and that's no good.. I'm just thinking "map" something that show's the direction that we have used before but, it doesen't fit with the riddle.. (maybe I need to clear my mind a bit)
Boxcutter, is backtracking necessary on this one to get somewhere?
Especially if you have a bad memory like me?
Boxcutter
Jul11-06, 07:09 AM
zarii: not really, you would probably have no idea what to do unless you had played earlier riddles on this one, but i wouldn't say you need to backtrack. you obtained something in an earlier riddle, which you will have to use now
Okey.. I know I can get this one, I just need to think
ffutahw

I'm thinking I may need to throw in the towel here.

No, I mean, I was fine for a while, but I've been stumped to the point of needing major help on the past couple of these, and now I've been stuck on 62 for hours, and this one is supposed to be obvious, plus I'm starting to obsess over it.
At the very least I need to take a break from it.
I stick with my comment :)

MelodyKitn

69 makes me :cry:
I think I have the first four answers (though they don't make any sense to me...)
But the last one... *whimpers and wonders where Igg-ums and Zar-ums are...*
I'm going to check and se what I get out of this now
Btw, Kaya, how far have you gotten?
Btw, Kaya, how far have you gotten?

*clings to Zarii*
Zarii.... what.. in the hell... is that?!....
*whimpers*
Not very far :smile:
Well, probably further than me anyway xD
I don't know kitn, I really don't know >.<

Jul11-06, 12:54 PM
Okay.. let's break it down... you notice anything weird?.. like how..
~ some of the numbers at the bottom are bigger than the others? ~ Think that has something to do with crossing those bridges?
...or is that just how the font is? x.x
..and umm... What's that little symbol at the bottom mean? Like I reiterate.. terrible with math -.-;
I don't know actually what that one stands for
Am I the only one that's noticing 3 dots in the right corner?
MelodyKitn
Jul11-06, 01:11 PM
No no, I see it.. but I think it means that it keeps going and there's more to that bottom part, but there wasn't any room to keep going
Each step increases with 1.5 centimetres (the bottom thingy)

hi im stuck on lev 4 wonderin if any1 can help!!!
:devil:
Maybe the green number tells us how far to go and the other one tells of many times e should go that far.. or the opposite that the withe number tells us how far and the green number tells us how many times
vamp_boy666
Jul11-06, 01:21 PM
help me on this lev
vamp_boy666
Jul11-06, 01:22 PM
also i do not get ya
MelodyKitn
Jul11-06, 01:22 PM
Possibly...
Though, how does that tie in with that bottom stuff?
Vamp.. I don't even remember what number 4 was anymore x.x
vamp_boy666
Jul11-06, 01:24 PM
pleAZE help me
The thing at the bottom.. if the first number 11, and for example: the green number 1 tells us how far to go, we just check at the bottom thinghy how far 1 is wich is 1.5 centimetres.. then we search for a way that's 1.5 centrimetres and walk 1 time.
Do you understand? :P
Omega and Greg.. how are you doing with this riddle?
How far have you guys gotten?
And how are you doing iggy?
MelodyKitn
Jul11-06, 01:46 PM

vamp: for number 4, if you can't solve the riddle which is in the picture, try googleing for the lyrics that are <!-- -->'ed in the source

Ugh, I'm still getting nowhere... numbers, why'd it have to be numbers?!

*clings to Zarii and Iggy*
Grrr... how're we gonna get across the bridges?
Tried a random combination of numbers for fun... yep... didn't work.
Hee-hee, okay, work isn't letting me play as much, but will keep sneaking peeks as time passes by.
Haha okey.. well, I'm going to watch a bit of Csi, then I'm going to try and walk right across those darn bridges :P

I got lucky when i figured out number 69.. it didn't take me long when i hade the time to actually sit down with it..but then again, my dictionary was of big help
iggy_killer
Jul11-06, 05:54 PM
yea im going on a walk with my parents..i already have half of 69 so it will be easy
Haha.. random 10 digit numbers never work I guess, and I who thought that I found such a nice sequence
MelodyKitn
Jul11-06, 06:16 PM
Zarii, two more hours, and a bit of traffic left to go.. but when I get home, you'll most likely be heading to bed. Usually at night, only me and Iggy are left.
I'm still not having any ideas on this thing. Then again, it's math.. so, I'm braindead for these types. x.x
Well, I'm not on to anything yet.. but my math skills are far from complete to..
Omega.. come and help..now, right away, this instance :)
Omega_6
Jul11-06, 06:35 PM
Omega.. come and help..now, right away, this instance :)
I'm confident that I know how to do this. It works up until a certain point, and then the lines seem to be a little off. Boxcutter...are you sure that the lines are correct (or the numbers)?
MelodyKitn
Jul11-06, 06:36 PM
:bugeye: Zarii probably the only one I know who can get Omi to listen
*almost falls off the bridge*
Okay! Not that way!! :eek:
*sits at the starting point and contemplates*

Haha okey :)
Well, I thought the same way at first, then it turned out to be a real dead end..
How were you thinking then?
you don't have to post that in this thread, but you can message me.

Okay folks. We kept hoping this thread would just run its course, but as it's still going, and we don't see much of anyone here who's actually participating in any of the rest of this forum, this thread is done. Find some other place to play your game, such as a gaming forum.
