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

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, that's 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...

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.
 
  • #550
I also know the answer to riddle 29, and I know where to get the letters for the word, but i haven't yet figured out how to read the clues to get those letters...

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[/color]


anyway, I'm glad you guys are still working on the riddle, and i think you've devised a way to mantain the integrity of the game. I'm still trying to enter the mansion myself, but i guess I'm just too distracted right now.

Note: Working on riddle 30 myself... I got some numbers and a file... but not sure how to use them.. yet...

For 30:

I've got the britain egg(which is basically spelled out for you) and The Voice egg(from the britain egg hint). Haven't seen any numbers, is there a third egg?

The "voice egg" contains four numbers... that's the one I'm trying to figure out right now...

can someone give me a link to the level they're on? I left, come back to "thelakeisfar" and it tells me not to cheat...

Just redo what you did to come up with "thelakeisfar" in the first place, and you have the answer.

And Gale: It may seem tough to enter the mansion but I assure you its not that tough.

So I am on 29, and I am totally lost. I've tried everything.

I just can't figure it out.

i see the int n and w=n then l=n and the print l but i don't know if that is part of a hint or if its just there to throw me off.

Ive gotten through almost all the levels by myself, and now I am stumped...please help!

S is to skull what M is to moon, what is W and L?

S and M are the first letters of skull and moon, and I've tried everything, i just can't get W and L.

I just can't contemplate what the answer is.

Hi, everyone! :smile:

I am working on Dracula's riddle for a while, and found this thread. It really helped me at lvl 20 and 24, I was pretty :confused: there.

Now I'm trying to listen to the voice from lvl 30. As I'm not a native English speaker, it's really hard for me to understand what it says. Please, can you give me a little nudge?

Thanks. :smile:

<edit>Nevermind, I got it!</edit>

It's so quiet here! :biggrin: Noone is still solving this riddle or have you decided to talk only by PMs? Just wondering... :smile:

I'm on lvl 32 and it gives me headaches :confused: Does anyone want to talk about it?
 
  • #563
I haven't figured oth riddle 30 yet, all I have is the audiofile with something sounding like "Volenca" or "fallen God" and the numbers in the ID tag of the file: 10,94,12,20.

Hints are welcome...

It is not important what the voice says.
Transpose the matrix you've found :wink:

Lvl 32: I would also welcome a small hint about what the comment means (last line in source). :smile:

You have no idea how to transpose a matrix, or you have no idea which is the matrix? :smile:
