scrhodingers dog: i think you have misunderstood the sitatuion. your hint was for level 24, they are on level 32. (i'm only saying this to clear things up for ytsejammer03 and gregulator, getting a hint that was actually for 24 when you are on 32 can become very confusing).

Ah ok sorry, trying to be helpfull, your reply sounded like the riddle on 24. As people keep hopping backwards and forwards I somehow seem to have got into the habbit of ignoring posts from other levels by context unless I've already done them; but if people in future can make it clear what riddle they are referring too it might help us to avoid further confusion.

Oh and do you have any hints for 29 Berkely mansion, with the moon and the skull? I can't read the links, I'd apreciate if someone just posted them as clues as we used to do as pming is too much hard work, as long as people cover them with the grey colour*type your text*then the open bracket and/color] then if your like me you only look at them when you get stuck. Just some suggestions and it's also less hit and miss than links which it seems don't work, for me at least. If it's awkward to do it that way though, just pm me, whatever:smile:

Omega, ignore my sister (HEather). She doesn't know anything about source code and programming... And she can be annoying...

And can you pretty please give a hint? :shy: Please :wink: lol.

Tekk...I'm with you on the adelphia thing. THey suck major @$$...lol.

Neither did I: source code is obtained by Ctrl+U or on the view menu: view page source, at least in firefox, won't touch that leaky old explorer programme, I had to have that spelt out to me too, I am an archetypical sub-laymen when it comes to programming. Sorry.

  • #718
