Riddle game - Something for you scientists

[dduardo]

yomamma, good find.

 

[Omega_6]

has anyone highlighted the bottom? it says "remove the zeroes" but I tried removing the zeroes in the URL but it told me that I was removing the wrong zeroes..

Whoa...I can't believe I didn't highlight that. I knew it was strange that it had extra room down there.

 

[Gale]

wow, good one! this is the first page i haven't highlighted... curses! so let's see now..

 

[JamesU]

Has anybody been keeping track of the numbers in the source code...? They were in between comment tags...the one on this level says 12

 

[Gale]

yeah, they're the number of the level.

 

[dduardo]

Based on castlevania 2 ,"13 clues solve Dracula's Riddle." I think we are really close since we are at 12

 

[JamesU]

oh...I thought I saw 7 several times...

 

[Mk]

What about those numbers and letters on the first page?

[Omega_6]

oh...I thought I saw 7 several times...

I believe that the 7th riddle had multiple parts.

 

[JamesU]

Mk, what's your point..?

 

[dduardo]

Perhaps the X and 0 are alternating bright and dark?

 

[Gale]

its alternating something.. but before i even knew about the zeros hint i was trying to cross out every other letter in whatever i did.

 

[Gale]

BIG CLUE!

i wrote in eimscnuemvlitosmse which is every other letter of each word, and it says transpose the matric and read row by row

 

[JamesU]

well, if you alternate letters and erase every other letter starting with #2, you get Eims Otnu Vlit Osmse..
whoops, gale already got it

 

[dduardo]

Ohh, So close.

 

[Gale]

cmon, anyone figure out how the mean to transpose the matrix, nothing i try is working.

 

[JamesU]

I got it...the anser is evilmistconsumesme.htm[/color]

 

[JamesU]

well, I'm stumped on level 13...any ideas?

 

[dduardo]

I think the she that is watching is: Elizaveth Bartley/Bathory

Atleast that's the next enemy on the list. We've already gone through vlad and the grim reaper

 

[JamesU]

I found out that some band "the Jam" has a song called "Wasteland" if that has any meaning

 

[dduardo]

My guess is that there are three different phrases. Where ever there is a zero the respective letter doesn't get used. The arrows should be followed to know which order the letters go in.

 

[Gale]

i sort of got ghostlyopaquesky when i moved all the letters around according to the charts. zero's mean a letter stays still, otherwise you move it where the arrows say. but the next level seems..yeah..

edit: the source code still says 13 so maybe i didn't get the right answer... but it did something.. makes me think that maybe the game just isn't finished...

 

[Gokul43201]

Ooh, good work all.

There is a zip file hidden in a period on that page. Highlight to see it or check the source.

Holy crap, it is a pretty freaky video. (::is sitting in a dark dark room lol::)

 

[Gale]

i don't get it... how do i get the zip? i saw that in the souce code but it only says .zip? i see nothing on the page./

 

[Gokul43201]

Okay (thanks for the warning), that's something I do not want to check out until tomorrow morn...nite all !

 

[Omega_6]

i don't get it... how do i get the zip? i saw that in the souce code but it only says .zip? i see nothing on the page./

The link is a period on the page. Its hard to click but you can do it.

In the video, the second time you see the face there are letters written on it...the answer has something to do with that.

 

[Gale]

oh wtf, you just click randomly allover the page?!?

edit: found it, but lame...

yeah, and how does that help anything?

 

[Omega_6]

It opens a zip file for you and it contains a video. Watch it and you will find the answer. Well actually another clue.

Few, finally moved on to the next one.

 

[Gale]

yeah, i saw

 

[dduardo]

I think you need to solve the other two squares?

I'm going frame by frame to see if their are any clues.

[edit]Done, the only text is on the second scary face and it says: "Erido"

 

[Gale]

i had the right answer. it brings you to a black page with a link to a zip file which you watch for the next clue. when you solve the next clue you go to the next puzzle.

 

[Omega_6]

I think you need to solve the other two squares?

Here:

<<Type the answer Gale gave into the address bar, and you come to the page with the period link. Click the link (a period) and then watch the video contained in the zip file. The second face you see has the word erida written on it. Type erida into the address bar and then it will ask you "who is she". She is the goddess of hate. So type goddessofhate into the address bar and you're done.[/color]>>

 

[Gale]

yeah, you figured out what they want from this next level yet? prefixes that mean happen again... "re"? that's all i can think of, and i don't know how they want me to use that.

 

[Omega_6]

Yeah...I'm not really sure. When it said to watch out or you'll set it free, I was thinking something along the lines of release but it didn't work.

 

[Gale]

i thought the same. I'm not good at these riddle ones.

 

[Boxcutter]

god damn you people are smart...
by the way.. i noticed on that clue with the grim reaper standing in the town
if you go back to number 4.. it says "there is a man in the town of alba who's identiy no one knows. ask him for directions. you'll have to find a way to tell Lies from truth".. i figured the clues that start with a captial letter must be lies? that's why everything got so messed up?

 

[dduardo]

You have to analyze the wording very carefully: "Watch your step around these cliffs, or you will set it free."

Set the cliff free? Set Deborah free?

Yeah...I wasn't even thinking about the lies, which is a perfect explanation for the contradicting answers that we received. So I think you hit the nail on the head.

You have to analyze the wording very carefully: "Watch your step around these cliffs, or you will set it free."

Set the cliff free? Set Deborah free?

Does this mean you have the answer and are holding out, or are you offering wisdom? ::

 

[dduardo]

I'm trying to offer wisdom. Thinking aloud might spark something.

 

[Gale]

no one? nothing? any other ideas for the prefix it could mean?

 

[dduardo]

This is the only other thing I could find:

2. doodanaha'1n1'idl1 'nothing will happen to us'. dooda 'nothing'; nahaa- 'to us' plus imp. of '1-n1-i-...[hi- perf.]-d-l1 something happens again' [pass.; '1- 'so'; n1- 'again'; 'i- indef. pronoun].

 

[Omega_6]

Well I guess I'll get some sleep. Good Luck

 

[Boxcutter]

dduardo what language is that?

 

[Gale]

dduardo what language is that?

apparently its Chiricahua Apache, so likely useless. its definitely referring to "re" as the prefix.. just what else does it want?

 

[Boxcutter]

what about that damn chain and "lot of activity".. :s

 

[Mk]

dduardo what language is that?

lol, Swahili you dumbhead!

2. doodanaha'1n1'idl1 'nothing will happen to us'. dooda 'nothing'; nahaa- 'to us' plus imp. of '1-n1-i-...[hi- perf.]-d-l1 something happens again' [pass.; '1- 'so'; n1- 'again'; 'i- indef. pronoun].

He just break down the word "doodanaha" into its parts: dooda, nahaa. And analyzed them to find the meaning of the word. Its a dictionary entry without proper spacing and format.

 

[dduardo]

Arggh, anyone have any ideas? This is really tough.

 

[Boxcutter]

man we better wait for those gale and omega guys. they're damn good at this stuff

 

[Boxcutter]

which one are you guys at? I am stuck on deborah's cliff =/
