Riddle game - Something for you scientists

Maybe, but I do agree with Gale, because your "vision is diminished by the fog, yet you see too much."

 

[Gale]

well it says we see too much... so i assume some aren't necessary at all. and some are faded, so i was working with that. and then the url made me think every other, but nothing I've tried works

 

[dduardo]

I played around with the levels on the image to make the dark and light letters more obvious:

The dark letter are:

e, i, a, s, c, o, n, n, u, v, n, r, a ,s ,u, s

The bright letters are:

n, g, m, t, u, e, m, a, l , i, t, o u, t, m, a, e

There 6 bright pairs:

GM, TU, AL, OU, TM, AE

There are 5 bright singles:

N, E, M, I, T

 

[Gale]

this sucks... no one? anyone have a clue?

 

[dduardo]

I'm trying. It feels like we are getting close because the riddles have gotten very difficult.

 

[Gale]

maybe we're all just tired... this doesn't seem like it should be a hard puzzle.

 

[Omega_6]

Nothing I try seems to make "quite" enough sense...there has to be something else to it. But yes, it feels like we are getting close. This is one of the most entertaining online riddles/puzzles I have ever played.

 

[dduardo]

The bright letters in valnirta spells: tail
The bright letter in contuneum spells: mute

 

[Gale]

well what's everyone trying? maybe some of our methods combined will make some more sense? i feel like we're just missing something simple here...

 

[JamesU]

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..

 

[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
