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 each others 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.
Thank you! I almost got it the first time now, the only confusion was the the arrows that where split into two arrows pointing at diffrent directions, but then I realized that they should be moved in two steps, and got them all right! :smile:

Now to the next problem.. riddle 16.. I got "...THE.cordinates.by.overlapping.tha.map.and.the.cordinates..."[/URL] from that??
Anyone knows ??

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.

well maybe a hint or two, youve helped in the past.

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.
 
  • #526
Keats gave you a pretty big hint: Look down. I mean physically look down, and then maybe when 2 goes to 3 it will mean something.
 
  • #527
Thx for the clue Omega 6...

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?
 
  • #529
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

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
 
  • #534
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
0=p

So...Is it "wi" to "ei"? But I still don't get it! ARG!

ok so my monitor is off and I am looking at my keyboard

now what
 
  • #537
Still doesn't help. You are using a CTX monitor, then It doesn't help me. I have an LCD monitor...But I tried 28 -> wi... and 38-> ei...I still don't get it!
 
  • #538
You don't even have to click the "links"... just hold pointer over them... and read the statusbar on your browser...

28:
[SPOLIER]


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 into 28..(only looking at your keyboard) what have you done then?
Can you do that with "REINWR" by only looking at your keyboard ??[/color]

[/Spoiler]


... If you quote this... remove the spolier.. for those who doesn't want to read it..
