Hello :-)

I must say this riddle has been a complete challenge to me. I've done pretty well so far but I'm am completely stuck at the second part of 35 and I've been working on it now for close to two weeks and at my wits end. If anyone could please message me and help me out with it I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

I just realized that "blue" is a synonym for sad, depressed etc..

"blue is what takes you there"

cheerless, dark, dejected, depressed, depressing, depressive, despondent, disconsolate, dismal, dispirited, dispiriting, down, downcast, downhearted, gloomy, glum, grim, heavyhearted, low, melancholic, melancholy, morose, sad, unhappy, wistful

denial-> anger-> fear-> guilt-> depression-> acceptance

The path to acceptance, I'm still stuck on 32 though so I can't help you :frown:

Sounds like a clever metaphor for word play, try literally turning words inwards?
 
  • #853
hmm you might be onto something.. but the "depression is often anger turned inwards" is not from the riddle but from google, so its probably not that..

could be something like fearandguild I guess then ^^ let's try some.
 
  • #854
omg I got it lol :D

took some time.. :D
 
  • #855
the last one was easy :P
 
  • #856

  • #857
Ok, that's it! I can't take it anymore! can someone please give me a hint to the second part of 36? Thank you
 
  • #858
as annoying as it is, i need to backtrackto number 32, I've pretty much cruised up to that one, cept that card one gave me trouble, and now i have to use both of them? c so can someone try to explain to me the process, or tell me what's really important to this one, I've been on it for like a week, and am starting to get desperate

You'll have to randomly select the last digits operator I supose. I guess if the number was 365 you would +3 then - 6 at a guess * 5 so you'd have -15 then you'd start from -8 on the wheel and count back to the letter? I haven't tried it yet though so I'm only speculating. What letters turn up when you follow this procedure? Also if it comes up with nonsense try starting from the same place every time. or 0-8

For those that are currently at riddle 36, part 2, try looking in the field of psychology...Specifically...Plutchik...Then ye shall know what to do. :)
 
  • #863
I'm apparently missing something. I've tried everything related to Plutchik and still am not figuring it out. Wish I knew about him on the second part of 35, but for the second part of 36 I'm just not getting it. :-(
 
  • #864
yea this is getting sad...i looked up Plutchik and I am getting no where..but i can do it..i just need 2 knwo what I am looking for...
 
  • #865
Me too, I've tried every single thing he had up there, Tried his theories name and so on and so forth. This stinks to get this far and then get stumped.
 
  • #866
Ok. I am going to practically give it away...

http://www.fractal.org/Bewustzijns-Besturings-Model/Plutchikfig6.gif

In the above pic, look at where anger and fear are. No where near each other. But, look at the colors. Anger is red, but fear is NOT blue: its green. So therefore go to where purple is. Try those words, and their synonyms...If you still don't get it...That's sad...
 
  • #867
I saw absolutely no chart that looked like that on any of the stuff I looked at. So thank you from my pathetic self lol
 
  • #868
thanks for the link, chris.. i seem to have tried everything that google/yahoo gave me as synonyms for the words in the purple region but still nada..

is the answer a single word or a combination? a noun or verb? is it really "everywhere in these lands"?

this is the last step and i don't want to give up... :cry:
 
  • #869
PRAISE ALL THINGS THAT BE! I thought I was the only one who lost my brain cells on the past 35., to not be able to figure it out. I've used combinations of words, I used all the purples ,,,I've used every single word there PLUS their synonyms, Plus putting all of them together in one form or another. I went by theory, I went by chart, I went by color blending, and the answer still eludes me like the winning numbers on a lottery ticket.
