I'm asking for assistance for number 49 x.x

What follows is what I have so far.

<Ok. So it was pretty easy to get where I was right now. I use firefox, so I opened the entire Dracula's Riddle bookmark folder in tabs, and clicked through, keeping open the ones that matched the pictures in 49. I then used the clues to get the answers to each of the riddles listed: c from crucifix, o from shadow, ? from ?, a from chainreaction, r from neveragain, and d from deatheverywhere. Giving me co?ard. Pretty obvious what word that is pointing to -> coWard. I tried that, and several synonyms, but that didn't work. I then looked back at the question. "Find the missing piece of the puzzle". So I went back through the entire series, looking for an answer that started with W. I found it: riddle 10, Sadam Woods answer: werewolves. So I tried sadam, sadamwoods, riddle10, riddleten, numberten, number10, and werewolves as answers. Still no luck. I then tried entering 'coward' into the decrpyt tool from way back in bag.zip that was used to solve riddle 10. Still no luck. I must be missing something OBVIOUS here.[/color]>

you have already got the right answer, you must just have typed it in wrong.
 
ffutahw, you have the answer in your post! Retry, probably you misspelled it :smile:

My lights are on, but noones home apparently.

A word of advice: When you highlight your answer to overwrite it and try another, make sure you don't have the period before htm selected as well.

Wow.

And this isn't the first time I've done this either.
 
is 53 suppose 2 be a trick question? like really..im not even knwo what I am looking for..all i have is look beyond the pixels, and so dark yet so much info...is that all of it because I am seriously missing something?
 
50. Ow. My poor eyes. @.@ I need to take a break before I can even begin here. Not stuck, just need to rest my eyes before I begin.

You're missing something. You haven't got the full riddle yet, just think about it, you do it on every riddle, but you have to do it differently this time...

As for having the entire riddle on 53, I have no answer, and no where to look, literally...
 
Nevermind. Saw it right as I was about to close the window. Don't focus is right. 51 now.
 
Now on 52, I'm on a roll!

This ones tough...

Anyone else stuck here?
<So we need a map, and the image is ,.jpg There was a ,.zip in #42, with a ,.avi inside of it. I thought I was on to something when I noted that the hint for 42 was "? is the answer" (referring to the ? from the movie and opposites and whatnot). Of course, trying to pull up ?.jpg or ?.htm doesn't work, and shouldn't really, and I'm silly for trying :-P So back to the drawing board for now.[/color]>

Yep. And I've exausted all my ideas for now. :confused:

I'm still on 52, so I can't be certain about this, but something rung a bell in my mind. If you recall from riddle 30, part of the process of finding the answer was attributes on the file forming the date to look up. Have you looked at the file attributes on whatever image is in 53?

Do you have any possible leads? I've already posted what I've tried
 
Well, the imagination of what is a possible lead is endless. =\

touche. Everything I have so far turns up zilch.
 
Same, I hate back tracking, please tell me there is not a lot of back tracking in riddles to come =\
 
ravenxii: there is none or close to none, from now on. i have gotten complaints about it before, so I'm cutting down on it, but remember: a good memory is also a virtue

I actually like the backtracking riddles. It makes the whole thing seem more cohesive. It also makes them trickier, and as frustrated as I get, I love challenges.

Is this a clue for 52? :confused:
 
Still working on 52. Theres something I'm overlooking, and I know I'm going to get it if I keep at it.
 
52 is not going very welll for me either.. and I'm all exhausted.. working at a gas station is very demanding.. especially if you're a girl.. puh
 
Well, trying getting off early from work...only to be called back to play softball later.:cry:
 
Well, still no headway on 52. Heres some of what I've done.

<I tried map, themap, and the_map with both jpg and htm extensions. None of these worked. I then tried superimposing themap.jpg from #16 overtop of the ,.jpg. The coordinate (67,126) was close to the words "Where are you?" on the image; in fact directly under the word 'where'. this prompted me to try where.htm, where.jpg, whereami.htm, and whereami.jpg. None of this worked so far, and it's likely just a coincidence with themap.jpg happening to nearly line up. Back to the drawing board again.

I've even gone so far as to look up maps of the actual transylvania area, but you can guess how successful THAT endeavour was. it's another one of those so simple its complicated ones...[/color]>
