By 41, I mean the riddle I'm on. If you put the letters that are colored in the words in order it doesn't make any sense...
Again, synonyms...
 
  • #919
I thought it was that! I just couldn't think of the words!

*hugs Omega*
 
  • #920
Almost with you Omega...

They are pretty straight forward synonyms. 41 is my favorite riddle out of all of them, it was pretty cool.

41 is a no hint riddle, it is easy...but it is too fun to spoil.

Wtf, I Got It
 
  • #931
For 41, do the cogs reset, or do we read them from where we've turned them previously?

Congratulations ^^

The picture plays a visual key Zarii.. at least to me it did when I thought of the words and the picture together.
 
  • #935

Muahaha
 
  • #936

It is easy, you just have to remember where each wheel is after your turns.

I'm lost on 42... not quite sure what the clue is there.

Well, motsatser...

This means opposite, in...swedish?

But, other than that, join the club.
 
  • #941
Hmm... well, if you use what it says is the answer, it doesn't say it can't find the page... only that you don't have permission to view it. Do you think that's part of it?
 
  • #942
cool.. I'm on nr 42.. what to do next? xD
 
  • #943
I don't really get that clue with the question mark.. eh?

I feel stupid xD

I am sorry for riddle 42. I had accidentally changed the HTML-code removing an important part. I hope you didn't waste too much time on it. It has now been fixed.

Work will sooo not get done today ^^ Good morning everyone!

So, where was I... ah yes, stains anyone?



So I've tried the password... but we don't quite use it there.. but the source has some strange .dtd webbie that I can't make sense of so far



Silly me... used the obvious word and am on the next step of same puzzle.. confused as always ^^
Okay, looks like math.. and I'm very very bad at it... so I will most certainly need lots of help on this



Okay, it looks like some kinda coordinates? Still plodding on!


I got it! A lot of squinting involved but I'm moving on!

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.

[/color]
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.
