I give up on this one, can't solve it.

Don't! :smile: Read the numbers you have, by column. Group them properly... they have a significance :wink:
 
OK been away from a while?

Kudos Gale: the roots go home the roots=source code----> home=home page, thanks for the hints, once I got that it was straight forward, would of taken me decades to think of that.:smile:

Next level was straight forward, am now on Berkely mansion I'm not sure what level number that is, in fact how do you tell, I'm confused by looking back as I'm not sure where you guys are, or if your even still here. Anyway, if I get anything I'll put it up.

Looking back it's 29.

attaints, looked up the definition:-

1. To impart stigma to; disgrace: “No breath of calumny ever attainted the personal purity of Savonarola” (Henry Hart Milman).
2. To pass a sentence of attainder against.
3. Archaic. To infect or corrupt, as with illness or vice.
4. Archaic. To accuse.

wonder if it's a clue or just an act of misdirection? The definition of venerableness is interesting too, I just thought it meant age. English is such a rich tongue :smile:

Not sure if it's ok to put up this level but I think most of us are beyond or on it?

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?

I don't think so Kaya, people seem to be stuck on different levels, and are probably trying hard to figure it out before they as for a tip, I could be wrong though I've been out of the loop for a week or so.

Edit 2: Now maybe someone can explain or give a hint how to solve riddle 19 (Hall 2)

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

link it I'll see if I can remember. I think we might of cheated a little someone accidently got to hall 3 and worked it out from there, if my memory serves me right.

I'm still waiting for a pm on how they got haven from the cards, that was nifty but perplexing :smile:

Haven from the cards? Could you give me a riddle number? Haven came from the difference between have been and be. The one with the cards was steal.

When you get the correct numbers by tranposing the matrix and then reading down by column, and you concentrate on what the numbers could mean, you will see.
 
10
94
12
20
Is this the correct order??
If it is... i don't know what to do with them...

Yes it is. So we have 1912 0420. Notice anything interesting?
 
a_moron said:
No, I've been looking at those number a few days now...

04 20 1912. Now?
 
a_moron said:
Nope? nothing.

Honestly? 04 20 1912 mm/dd/yyyy Thats pretty much it.
 
Kaya said:
Huh? What for? Your eyes would be more than enough! Just take a closer look at the source code... something is wrong there :wink:
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<title>Second Hall</title>
<!-- 19 -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body,td,th {
	color: #FFFFFF;
}
body {

</style></head>

<body>
<div align="center">
<bgsuond src="../misc/music.mp3" loop="infinite">
  <p><img src="hall2.jpg" width="512" height="710"></p>
  <p>Stay focused...</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
That's the source, what am I missing? that spells the answer?
 
A_moron, though I am not on that riddle (still on torment), the numbers look like a date, April 20, 1912. Here's some links:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=April+20,+1912

So...since I helped you...oh. wait, Omega helped. darn.. still. can I get another hint for torment? I got nothing...

Look for a misspelling.

and the answer is what?

Search for the significance of that date.

Aah, finally, thank you!
 
Hello all, thanks for your help. Me and my mates got stuck on 27 for a long while back there, you helped us out by having us look somewhere we totally neglected. We are currently on 29 and still trying to find an answer. Hopefully we can be of some help to you all.
 
29...

yeah me and ravenxii really could use a good hint for 29 we just can't quite get it and we have been on it for a good part of today...

"...S.is.to.skull.what.O.is.to.moon..."[/URL][/QUOTE]Maybe my old hint will help you to enter the mansion?

Hey guys, I am stuck on no. 29 and am looking for a lil hint as to what the answer might be..

I'd be happy to contribute my help ( though limited it may be) on future puzzles etc etc...
 
a_moron said:
Maybe my old hint will help you to enter the mansion?

yeah I saw that but I still can't figure it out. Is it just something I am missing does the int n and w = n and l = n have anything to do with it? has anyone figured this one out logically or just guessed it?
 
ok we got 29, and I agree Omega, what an obvious answer :S I wanted to kick myself...lol

on to 30 ! :D

Don't think the "int n" was there before...
anyway.. I think it was Omega 6 that wrote a hint that made me solve that one...
If someone can explain how to solve it, please do so..
I know what letters to pick from the text on the picture... "EACH UNTRUTH ATTAINTS LIFE'S VENERABLENESS" , and I know the system to pick them..
But I don't know how to get that from the clues...
best clue I can give you is the one in my post above... if you don't want the answer right away...

yeah by pure guessing i finally got it. But we just figured out how do logically...
 
yep level 29 is meesed up the clue is wrong it should read
s is to skull as o is to moon,

a better clue would be
s is to skull as o is to moon, so...
would be better
