May I kindly ask those who already have solved riddles after 30 NOT to post spoilers on the thread? I am not trying to establish some rules here, but I believe that the fun of riddling is getting the solution by yourself, and not just entering an answer you read somewhere. :smile:

This is a thread for hints...it has been from the start. The rules have already been established. Its not our fault that a million people have joined the forum just for this thread.

I am not against hints (but small ones :biggrin:). In some cases they are more than welcomed. :smile: I was talking about not giving the full answer.

Mine doesn't say 36. Maybe we got different solutions.

Got into the hall of fame \o/

I think there has been a few misunderstandings here.
People have gotten to the temporary ending directly from 35 by probably just guessing that word. I have created a subfolder to prevent this so those of you who were on riddle 36. Go back to riddle 35 and type in the solution again and you will be redirected to the subfolder.

I haven't figured oth riddle 30 yet, all I have is the audiofile with something sounding like "Volenca" or "fallen God" and the numbers in the ID tag of the file: 10,94,12,20.

Hints are welcome...

Uhh...How the heck do you get an audio file on riddle 30?

NVM...Got it. Now I need what DiscoPanda need.s..

I got to say great riddle so far, can't wait for the new levels.

FYI, the grammar is a bit off in the source to 36 "This is the caves". I think it should be "These are the caves" or "This is the cave".

? I'm on 36.. I went back to 35 and retyped my answers.. and got back to the same place as before.. I noticed no change.. ?

Edit: NVM, I noticed the change in the URL now... but I have no to clue how to "Enter the hall of fame"?
Is there a riddle 37 or should I stop trying at 36?
