Want link to the denismarshthingy again (not that i know if it's the right thing but yeah)
 
  • #1,756
Okay, looking at the map.. I know we're heading in the right direction... and I think I see our destination...

But... how we get there is ... troublesome.
 
  • #1,757
We're pretty much backtracking down to get to...

Given the path we've been taking...

O.o I think I've just confused myself...


Yeah, I totally just went in the wrong direction ^^

Omg.. I get lost even in a cybermap x.x
 
  • #1,758
Where the f*** did the wind bite hard O.o

Are we sure we're thinking of the right place

Ffut.. Thank you. I couldn't have found the way back without you :hugs:

(Dangit! I have to go to lunch! Zari, as soon as you make your way there, I'll join in again, but I -have- to go eat)

The names of the locations we're visiting in this riddle aren't just random or made up. They're coming from something else. Do some research on some of the location names and you'll find out where, and from there you can find out the next step.

Obviously the riddle is broken, because the answer simply must be Fidel Alejandro Castro.

I will find you.. I'm just a bit ehm.. slow :P

In all seriousness for number 56, I have tried the following names (various permutations of each and changes in order, single and multiple words used, .htm and .jpg for each) with no success:
<
Nero Claudius Caesar, Howard Phillip Lovecraft, Vlad Dracul Tepes, Dracula and various synonyms, Erida and various synonyms, Dea and various synonyms, Camilla / carmilla and various synonyms, Luke and various titles for him, Judas Iscariot and several titles and variations.[/color]>

I'm gearing up to do some more research, but this is what I've eliminated so far.

Am I moving in the right direction with this?
 
  • #1,771
have you hit the wall?
 
  • #1,772
Hey, where are we?
 
  • #1,773
Greg, I'm on 60 and waiting for Zarii to come find me (she's on 59).

I'm clueless when it comes to puzzles without someone to bounce an idea off of... and this new puzzle is making me screwy @.@
 
  • #1,774
Alright, so how about a hint on 56?
 
  • #1,775
I'm going to have to say that 56, 'The Wall' is aptly named. I've exhausted every combination of names that I found readily. Back to the drawing board.
 
  • #1,776
once you hit a wall it might be smart to turn back
 
  • #1,777
*tugs on Greg's line* Greg! I need you too!

*whimpers* I don't feel safe here all alone...

*nibbles at her taco as she looks over the clues again*





Hmm.. I have an answer that should make sense... but it doesn't work!

*flails*

*grins and drags Zarii's line*

You better believe it!

Now we just need the others...

*tugs on everyone else's lines*
 
  • #1,780
Oh man. 56 just got a LOT more complicated...
 
  • #1,781
xD told you it was confusing
 
  • #1,782
How are u doing on the riddle Greg and where is omega and.. everybody else? :|
 
  • #1,783
Zarii, I'm back to not knowing what to do on 60.. I ended up with another thought for 'The Graveyard Of Dead End Thinking'...

Still glaring at the screen.. I have a right mind to punch that guy so he'll take us across *laughs*


But didn't my thought seem to make sense Zarii?
 
  • #1,784
Your idea was great.. darn shame that it didn't work :\
 
  • #1,785
Aside from that idea I bounced off of you.. I'm getting nothing so far...

You?
 
  • #1,786
The white and black shadow thingy behind the letters..
maybe that's what the mysterious shadows and glancing lights have in common

Edit: I believe that we have to work with these letters somehow

I did.. that's how I first tried to get the answer I sent you...

but now I don't know what to do with those letters...

I can make out words.. but none of them fit...

Ok, so on 56 (spoilers possible for those still on the riddle. Even if you think you know everything, you very likely do not.)
<So I've located all three instances of the wall. The only differences between the three walls that are immediately apparent are the words on the bricks, and the fact that one of them has the words "It is their creation..." printed beneath them. I'm fairly confident that I can deduce an answer from all of this, I think the trick is going to be where to actually type the answer. I'm thinking either back on #54, or on the wall with the "It is their creation..." printed.[/color]>

Anyways, headed home now, more work tomorrow.
 
  • #1,789
hmm i just got back home..i had to go somewhere...but I am back, I am at the relic (57)...but i can't see to solve the old mans riddle
 
  • #1,790
I asked my dad for help on nr 60 a second ago kitn, haha he's even more lost than me
 
  • #1,791
At least he tried ^^ That's a good thing.

Well Zarii.. I'm positively stumped... there must be something we're missing...
 
  • #1,792
oh my...is 60 going to be the new 56?
 
  • #1,793
k so i have all of 56 and 55. i know what the words are, but somehow the answers that make sense are not working, anyone have any idea what I am missing?
 
  • #1,794
Probably not Iggy.. 56 was definitely the stumper.. I think me and Zarii have the answer, but we just don't know how to.. uh... see how it's the answer ^^;
 
  • #1,795

  • #1,796
