The next one is:

directions, if you didn't know...[/color]

 

[Gale]

yeah, i noticed that too. all i get with google are hints for that game.

 

[Gokul43201]

I looked into Castlevania, but not castlevania II...

 

[Gokul43201]

Any luck with the name ?

 

[dduardo]

Nope, still working on it.

 

[Gale]

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. that's all I've got so far. [/color]

 

[JamesU]

so...SPOILERS AHEAD

The first letter is C...I think that the third letter is W...any luck with the others?[/color]

 

[dduardo]

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.

 

[JamesU]

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--[/color]

 

[JamesU]

since there are only clues for the first seven, no.

 

[dduardo]

yomamma, you got I and W reversed.

Clue 4 gives you positions 3 and 4:

M and I[/color]

but clue 2 gives you position 3:

M flipped which is W[/color]

 

[Gokul43201]

there are 10 letters in the name, so (in the mirror) 5 goes to 6

 

[JamesU]

there's only seven letters...that it tells you

 

[Gale]

i get letters overlapping a lot.. i dunno..

 

[Omega_6]

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?[/color]>

P.S. On the main page containing the clues, is states that "my name has ten letters."

 

[Gale]

yomamma is using clue 3 to say how many letters there are.

 

[Gokul43201]

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...

 

[Gale]

no one's gotten any further?

 

[Omega_6]

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...

 

[Gokul43201]

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 ! [/color]>>

what the... ??

 

[Gale]

yah... whyd you have to come back, that doesn't help at all...

 

[Omega_6]

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>

 

[Gale]

i got it guys!
i have no idea what the clues meant, but cause of gokul i figured it out

[Gokul43201]

Brilliant !

::gives you big hug::

 

[Gale]

i also think it is a new game because there aren't any cheats online and there's loads of spelling errors.

 

[Omega_6]

The next one is:

<<werewolves[/color]>>

 

[dduardo]

Omega, yeah you get that from the TTF font file from the silk bag

 

[Gokul43201]

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 ? [/color] >>

Edit : Just noticed the symbols on top-left...

 

[dduardo]

nex = death in latin

Death from all sides?

 

[Omega_6]

The answer is

<<deatheverywhere[/color]>>

What is the origin of the text on the next page? Same?

 

[dduardo]

I think the text is greek.

[edit] musae is latin spelling, but the meaning of the word has greek origns

 

[SimplySolitary_]

I feel stupid (Although it is late...). I can't even get past the first level...

 

[dduardo]

Did anyone else notice that the url changed to something completely different then what we typed in before? Maybe it's a hint

 

[Gokul43201]

"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 ?

 

[Omega_6]

Yeah I noticed that...and is it just me, or do you see a face on the left side of the text?

 

[Gokul43201]

I see it too...only after you pointed it out though.

 

[dduardo]

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:

https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=982433&postcount=14

 

[Gale]

i think it just shows too many letters and the word is hidden amongst them.

 

[dduardo]

Perhaps the letters are out of order and need to be rearranged?

 

[Omega_6]

Maybe, but I do agree with Gale, because your "vision is diminished by the fog, yet you see too much."

 

[Gale]

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

 

[dduardo]

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

 

[Gale]

this sucks... no one? anyone have a clue?

 

[dduardo]

I'm trying. It feels like we are getting close because the riddles have gotten very difficult.

 

[Gale]

maybe we're all just tired... this doesn't seem like it should be a hard puzzle.

 

[Omega_6]

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.

 

[dduardo]

The bright letters in valnirta spells: tail
The bright letter in contuneum spells: mute

 

[Gale]

well what's everyone trying? maybe some of our methods combined will make some more sense? i feel like we're just missing something simple here...

 

[JamesU]

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..
