way to go reggie! let me know if you find anything when you reach 53. meanwhile, i am more stumped than ever! hahaha
 
  • #1,213
Well, I came back after a much too short weekend and saw the new hint in 44, which immediately solved it for me. :-p Now I'm working on 45. With any luck won't take me long.
 
  • #1,214
good, get it going so you can't help me on #53
 
  • #1,215
Hmm. Maybe I'm taking the wrong tack here on 45. Info follows.

<The immediate things that jumped out at me were the words "Everything is the key," and of course the picture "yellowiswhatwillsaveyou" Thinking back to the previous relic rooms, both had something to do with the something was typed in the address bar. Noting the answer from 44 that was of course still in the address bar, I went back to riddle 31 (20 past 11!) to look for any clues there, but failed to find anything yellow there, nor anything that got me any closer... [/color]>

Am I completely off the mark here?
 
  • #1,216
you are doing the right thing. remember when we had to figure out what the colors meant. At least for me that's how i got it.
 
  • #1,217

any progress reggie?

help on #53 anyone?!? pretty please...:cry: :cry: :cry:

just made it! I'm on 53! Woohooo! Thanks a ton speedy.. now got to solve this to make up for u..
 
  • #1,219
go! go! go! i know you can do it. I am too tired to think now. you have my support! yahoo! :smile:
 
  • #1,220
@53

any ideas? :rolleyes:
 
  • #1,221
Still on 45...

<I pretty much dead-ended looking at riddle 31 for clues. So I decided to focus on the other clue, "yellow is what will save you." Taking the most obvious route, I opened up each individual page from riddles 1-45. Turns out the only one with yellow in it is #38, Aljiba Woods; the first letter of the word Fury.[/color]>

I'm not exactly sure how to work this into the equation, and I feel like the answer should be so simple too... any hints here?
 
  • #1,222

  • #1,227
Thanks for the help speedy. 46 was another really easy one. onto 47!
 
  • #1,228
47 wasn't too tough either. 48 now!
 
  • #1,229
Greg: what's your idea on 53? I'm completely stumped and about to call it a day.
 
  • #1,230
stuck forever on 53!

is there a hidden information somewhere cos I am not getting anything "beyond the pixels." I've done some crazy stuff that led nowhere! :cry: :cry: :frown: :cry: :cry:
 
  • #1,231

  • #1,232

  • #1,233
yes, Speedy, there is, I can't tell you too much beyond that because it might give it away
 
  • #1,234
Hmm.. 48 is driving me nuts! This is going to be another one of those "answer is so simple it makes me feel dumb" ones...

"The answer is the question" so it looks like a game of figuring out what the question is. Blech.

Yeah i have tried multiple things, and still haven't gotten close at least i don't think i have... Someone left me the clue that the answer is in first person, but I can't think of anything i have tried that could be first person that I haven't already tried... :confused:
 
  • #1,238
That one is a bit difficult, but I know you'll get through it...
 
  • #1,239
good afternoon guys...me and melody were up last nite trying 2 figure out 53...i just got up and I am working on it now...

ugh i have no idea what 2 do
 
  • #1,240
Morning Iggy *hugs*

I'm up too, staring sleepy-eyed at 53. Apart from still trying to reach into my monitor to turn the picture over, I'm stumped.
 
  • #1,241
haha yea..when i went on that break of mine i feel asleep haha...r u on aim?
 
  • #1,242
lol, I'm at work on 53, how far have you guys gotten on it? I don't want to give too much of what I have away.
 
  • #1,243
Gimme a sec Iggy and I'll join you ^^
 
  • #1,244
alright

@greg: we haven't gotten very far...we have tryed doing photoshop to it..to see if the something is up with the picture but it didnt help...we tryed even googling beyond the pixels...too see if there is some term or something for it but we got nothing
 
  • #1,245
Let me see, how can I put this, photoshop will be no help to you, you don't need anything else except what's already given to you...
 
  • #1,246
53 is a "gimmie" ::wink:

Damn, still not getting 48! Well at this point the answer can't make me feel any dumber. I'd say I've tried everything, but obviously I haven't since I still don't have it :P I've got a different tact I'm going to try.
 
  • #1,249
me and seraph have back tracked pretty far ... still no luck
 
  • #1,250
