35 is giving me a headache
 
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
 
Alright...Got 35 finished! YAY!
Got the first part of 36 finished!

now the second part of 36...hmmm *pulls out hair* I am not alarmed :-s
 
35

figured out so now I have the info
"death is everything"
"Anger -> Depression" "x takes you there etc"

"depression is often anger turned inwards" ~~

cannot figure it out..
please a hint or something=)

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

tried it with "ness" added to some of the words aswell..comon I am close but cannot get it, HELP! :D

what does take you to depression when you are currently angry?
 
I mean I figured out all that, but cannot get the exact word even tho I tried a lot =)

please give me a clue to what the exact word is..

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?
 
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.
 
Grats Predoo!

Now if I just stop going bald from trying to get through the second part of 36's lol
 
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
 
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. :)
 
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. :-(
 
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...
 
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.
 
Ok. I am going to practically give it away...

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...
 
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
 
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:
 
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.
