  • #1,003

Well again, good luck to you kitn,ffut and the rest of you, maybe I can be of any help on sunday instead of now :)

Well, by just following the hands, like it says, and then finding the hour hand...I can get the time I "think" it is. However, if I have the right time, then my format is wrong...I have tried roman numerals as well...

I see so many ways to get to the "answer", but no luck on how to input this answer.

I get answers, but none of them follow a definite pattern whenever I take the first clock into account...

@.@ So confused...

@.@ So confused...

If you "walk" along the hands, then you can get a definite minute hand. The hour hand can be deduced in many ways.
If I have the right answer, and can't move on because of the format...then grrr.
If I have the wrong answer, then that is alright, but how can I know? I don't want to waste time and have it end up being the format.
 
  • #1,009
I've followed the minute hand pattern, persay... but yeah, because of the hour hand and the format... One or both are wrong and I'm not sure which o.o

The thing about the hour hand is, I have tried every hour value with the minute value I got and nothing works. This leads me to believe that it may indeed be the format.
 
  • #1,011
I did that too, when I first made the complaint about the format. That's where boxcutter mentioned that using '-'s '_'s ':'s or '.'s wasn't feasible, so that left either doing it numerically, or spelling it out, and both have proved ineffective.

he said that there has been a "_" in the answer before though...
 
  • #1,013
He also said there was obvious reasons why the '_' was used...

It doesn't seem to make sense to use '_' when telling time tho, does it?

@.o?
 
  • #1,014
Between all the hour hands in each step the sequence is:

1 6 8 6 8 6 8 6 8 6 ?

and between all the minute hands in each step the sequence is:

6 5 6 8 6 8 6 8 6 8 ?

Something worth thinking about? Maybe?

Off topic: I'm going to Umeå in about 5 minutes, yeay, haha :)

Hi everyone! It's my first time to post on forums like this but I've been working really hard on this riiddle game. Somehow, I'm stuck at level 38 and couldn't get my brains to work. I need help! What do I do with these words?
 
  • #1,021
well you need 2 find words that have equal importance to those words...and i think u can get the rest once u knwo what 2 do
 
  • #1,022
hint on 38 -- aljiba woods please. :blushing:

  • #1,023
hmm that's the one with fury, ocean and murder right? if so yea my hint is for that one...yea just think of words that mean the same thing as those words (synonyms) and then do the whole color order bit

alright I am hitting the sack now...cuz i have no clue where 2 start with the relic
 
  • #1,024
i have the synonyms of these words but i still don't know what to do them. It doesn't make sense to me. Is the order and the colored letters important as well?

sorry for being so dumb
 
  • #1,025

A clue Seraph?
 
  • #1,032
Hint on 38

still can't decipher what to do with the synonyms. i don't even know if i have the right words. i just can't form the right word for this. help me please...:eek:
 
  • #1,033
Hi Speedy

< Notice every word has a colored in letter that matches the colors below.

That's the order you'll go by.

So to make it easier on you, write the words down in the same order and underline each colored letter.

Now, think of the synonyms.

Use google or dictionary.com if you need help thinking up some.

Count what number the colored letter is for the first word.

Count the same number of letters on the synonym you come up with.

Hope that helps. [/color] >

  • #1,037
Michael, you've got three letters right, one letter is missing 'a leg', and you're missing the first letter of the word.

Seraph, it's just flying over my head tonight @.@
