Riddle game - Something for you scientists

[MelodyKitn]

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]

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]

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

 

[ffutahw]

So using <TORY[/color]> I managed to get a bunch of information, and I thought for sure I had it the first time, but trying it and many variations still didn't work. Am I missing a step?

 

[iggy_killer]

ok..i mapped out a grid so i can map the coordinates and such...i connected the spots to their respectful groups...and 2 of them kinda make a letter but the other one just looks screwed..any ideas?

missing a letter

 

[MelodyKitn]

missing a letter

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



Iggy, I had to squint real hard to read it. But remember... you're looking at the word in the mirror... 'reflections'



On the puzzle afterwards, I see the connections save for one number... I think I have the hour, just not the minute

 

[seraphcode]

missing a page on 43... i got the main page and the coordinates but... no way of matching anything... any help?

 

[MelodyKitn]

Seraph, all you need are the coordinates and the mirror and you can use those two (I used paint to plot the stuff out)

Thanks
thats what I was missing... geez sometimes... :P

 

[MelodyKitn]

Wait.. I have the minute... not the hour for 44 >< Darnit!

 

[MelodyKitn]

Thanks
thats what I was missing... geez sometimes... :P

Yeah ^^ Believe me, I overlook the obvious a lot. I'm just glad I can finally be of some use.

 

[ffutahw]

I knew that I was missing something obvious. On 41 now >.<

 

[MelodyKitn]

Congrats ffutahw ^^ Keep it up!

>.> Then maybe you can help me on 44...


I think I see the pattern... and know the time... but.. how to put it in is vexing me

 

[seraphcode]

44 really looks tough...

 

[MelodyKitn]

Well, Seraph.. I believe I have the answer... or at least the pattern... but I can't, for the life of me, figure out what way to enter it (entering time can be done in different way.. numerically, using letters, what about hyphens... do I add o'clock? etc..etc..)

 

[iggy_killer]

...this is sad..im still on 43..i put it on paint like u guys did..i rotated it so its the right way from the reflection..but i have no idea what it is..

 

[MelodyKitn]

Iggy, remember the way the coordinates were grouped?

Look at the coordinates and try and use it as if each group were a different letter.

(squint ^^ it helped for me)




Seraph, do you see the pattern?

 

[seraphcode]

i got the answer... but i can't figure out how to enter it either... for 44

 

[MelodyKitn]

Same here... there's way too many ways to enter time...

I'm off to lunch for about an hour. If you figure out the correct way Seraph, do let me know!

 

[MelodyKitn]

S'oki, so I'm back.. any leads? ^^

*curls up in front of the computer wondering where everyone is*

 

[ffutahw]

Well this is what I'm working with for 43. Am I close here? I'm not seeing anything useful on this. <http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j113/ffutahw/a6c4b87d.jpg[/color]>

 

[MelodyKitn]

Well, you got the middle one right *grins*

Okay.. how you connect the coordinates makes out some really blocky letters.

Try figure out what letters you can make from each group of coordinates

(in your case, the first set and the last set)

 

[ffutahw]

Well, you got the middle one right *grins*

Okay.. how you connect the coordinates makes out some really blocky letters.

Umm how do you make the text spiffy white so I can lend better insight? ^^

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

 

[seraphcode]

any news on the format for 44... still haven't figure it out...

 

[MelodyKitn]

Seraph.. I have two different answers since I see two different patterns, but none of the way I enter them work... ><

*peeks around* Omeeeegaaa.. where are you?

 

[ffutahw]

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.[/color]>

Am I still nowhere close? 41 and 42 were so easy...

 

[seraphcode]

Melody we think the hands go in a pattern and there must be a way to know both numbers but we too can't find the format... Hope to see omega back on soon

 

[MelodyKitn]

Ffut.. you found the answer. Retry those words again, because one of them should work.

 

[MelodyKitn]

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
815
20:15
20.15
8.15
08.15

*cry*

 

[ffutahw]

Wow. I had overwritten the period before the htm when trying those. WTG Human Intelligence! on 44.

 

[Zarii]

I've only gotten to the "coordinates?" at nr 43.. and i need a hint.. cause I really don't get any of what has been written about that puzzle in this tread


Edit: Never mind.. I got it :P

 

[MelodyKitn]

Hee-hee, wayta go Ffut and Zarii.. welcome to the suffering of number 44 along with me and Seraph ^^


*sits fiddling with numbers and formats*

#.# Oh my...

 

[seraphcode]

Good to get some new blood on this one.

 

[Zarii]

xD

Okey..let's see now..

 

[MelodyKitn]

It's nice to be a part of the ongoing process... when I first was shown the riddle game, a good chunk was already decoded and it feels different being able to mingle with you all and be in the midst of the problem-solving ^^

Pleasure to 'meet' you, by the way!

 

[ffutahw]

I thought I was seeing a sequence at first, but the first two don't fit with it, and there are a couple places where its off. I'll have to keep looking.

 

[Boxcutter]

Example (not the answer)

EightFifteen
Eight-Fifteen
08:15
8:15
815
20:15
20.15
8.15
08.15

*cry*

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 =)

 

[MelodyKitn]

*Hugs Boxcutter*

Spiffy! Now me and Seraph can get cracking sumore!

*grabs Zarii and Ffut* C'mon you two!


*fumbles around with the hands*

I'm just not getting the first clock to quite fit in with the patterns I find in the other clocks... so I fudge up the last one...

Or... I'm just getting the wrong answer all together ^^

Anyone?

 

[iggy_killer]

ok..im on 44 now...i can tell this second part is going to take a good month or so for me

 

[MelodyKitn]

Don't talk like that Iggy ^^ We'll conquer this clock together!

 

[iggy_killer]

ugh i hate anything 2 do with clocks..i remember i did another riddle called zest and it had clocks on it and i hated it

there is so many ways u can work with these clocks...idk where 2 start

 

[MelodyKitn]

I'm not fond of clocks either @.@ but it's worth a shot.. pretty soon I'll be home and I can try using photoshop to dismantle these clocks.

(I need to see things in order for them to make sense in my silly head ^^)





I'm at a loss. The numbers I thought could be the answer aren't yielding me anything. Any luck on your end?

 

[Zarii]

I'm just not getting the first clock to quite fit in with the patterns I find in the other clocks... so I fudge up the last one...

Me neither

 

[MelodyKitn]

From clock two > three > four and so on.. I can find a pattern...

And I think I am almost positive what that minute hand is...

But fitting in the clock from one > two and getting the hour hand is what might be fudging me up...

 

[ffutahw]

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.[/color]>

 

[MelodyKitn]

I thought of that too Ffut, because it does seem as if it's not on the number marks, so it can be misleading...

When you think it's four it may actually be three, etc.. etc...

@.@

 

[Zarii]

Figured something out?

 

[ffutahw]

Well, I'm off work. If I didn't have this dang job to do I'd wager I'd have gotten a bit farther. I might work on it more over the weekend, but it is a holiday weekend so no guarantees. Good luck guys!

 

[Zarii]

Aww.. my brain is full of numbers with no use... It feels like I've tried almost everything with these clocks now.. maybe I should go to sleep and try solving them again after the weekend..
