For 41, do the cogs reset, or do we read them from where we've turned them previously?

Congratulations ^^
Yeah.. and now I'm stuck on the next one..small hint please? to the tired teenage girl who's going to work in about 10 hours
 
The picture plays a visual key Zarii.. at least to me it did when I thought of the words and the picture together.
 
Got it Omega... had to photoshop it so my brain wouldn't get jumbled o.o

Good job Zarii!

I don't really get nr 41 .. ouch.. my eyes..

It is easy, you just have to remember where each wheel is after your turns.
 
I'm lost on 42... not quite sure what the clue is there.

Well, motsatser...

This means opposite, in...swedish?

But, other than that, join the club.
 
Hmm... well, if you use what it says is the answer, it doesn't say it can't find the page... only that you don't have permission to view it. Do you think that's part of it?
 
I don't really get that clue with the question mark.. eh?

I feel stupid xD

I am sorry for riddle 42. I had accidentally changed the HTML-code removing an important part. I hope you didn't waste too much time on it. It has now been fixed.

EDIT: 43 is now giving me a headache with the Stains stuff

Anyone who's gotten further than 43?

Work will sooo not get done today ^^ Good morning everyone!

So, where was I... ah yes, stains anyone?



So I've tried the password... but we don't quite use it there.. but the source has some strange .dtd webbie that I can't make sense of so far



Silly me... used the obvious word and am on the next step of same puzzle.. confused as always ^^
Okay, looks like math.. and I'm very very bad at it... so I will most certainly need lots of help on this



Okay, it looks like some kinda coordinates? Still plodding on!


I got it! A lot of squinting involved but I'm moving on!

Well, I managed to get up to number 40 on my own, but now I'm quite thoroughly stuck. I browsed around on the internet and saw this forum, so I figured I'd see what you guys had to say on it.


Info with possible spoilers follows:

I initially did the obvious thing and searched for enlightenment, and tried various different philosophers and religious figures with no luck.

Looking back at it, I noticed something in the image I didn't before. I put the image into my image editor and adjusted the contrast, and the letters I, O, R, and what looks like part of either a Y, V, or W are visible. I ran a search for that, and then searched within pages under a search for enlightenment for those series of letters, but to no avail. I also couldn't find anything in the source that was helpful.

[/color]
End of possible spoilers.

I'm thinking that either I'm overthinking this thing or that I'm really close to it but am missing something obvious. If anyone can leave me any hints that won't spoil the whole question, or just tell me if I'm on the right track at all, I'd be much obliged.
 
You're not over thinking, but you have the first letter wrong. Look closer and you'll find it's a different letter than what you posted.

Out of the letters you put up, three of them are right.

I can't believe I messed that one up. That changes everything and gives me a bunch of results. I have yet to find anything that works though, but I'll keep at it.
 
Well, hmm... I'll tell you that you're just missing the first two letters.

You gave two sets of letters and three letters are right, so hopefully I won't confuse you when I say that two letters from the first set are correct, and one of the letters from the last three you gave are correct O.o
 
So using <TORY[/color]> I managed to get a bunch of information, and I thought for sure I had it the first time, but trying it and many variations still didn't work. Am I missing a step?
 
ok..i mapped out a grid so i can map the coordinates and such...i connected the spots to their respectful groups...and 2 of them kinda make a letter but the other one just looks screwed..any ideas?

missing a letter

He's right.. you're just missing the first letter. Think of words that end in the letters you just gave.



Iggy, I had to squint real hard to read it. But remember... you're looking at the word in the mirror... 'reflections'



On the puzzle afterwards, I see the connections save for one number... I think I have the hour, just not the minute
 
missing a page on 43... i got the main page and the coordinates but... no way of matching anything... any help?
 
Seraph, all you need are the coordinates and the mirror and you can use those two (I used paint to plot the stuff out)
