Ok, I might have made some progress. Heres my musings:

AHRMMTYD
AH RM MT YD
Northwest 8 spaces (N)
Southeast 18 spaces (X or I)
Southeast 20 spaces (I or H)
Up 24 spaces (V or G)
There are two answers for the last ones: the first is if you continue from the last letter you got, the second is if you go from x each time.

So NXIV (is there an N in roman numerals?) or NIHG: I am not getting anything, but if you get something brilliant from it, then that's cool.

I guess everyone is suddenly on 61...:devil: :mad:
 
  • #2,204
Omi!

*runs to hug him...
...stabs a wooden stake through him*

There! That'll make sure you aren't a vampire too!

*sticks her tongue out and flies back up to the rafters*

Now c'mon, we got to get outta here and into the mansion!




*cheers Davo on from the mansion*

Come play with us Davo~

So if you please would PM me a little hint on 45, I'm sure I'll be right with you :P

That is because you have integrity. PM me with what you have so far.

*hums quietly as she glances at the puzzle on the floor, folding a black piece of paper...

...gliding to the broken window, she throws the folded paper airplane out towards Davo...

...and then quietly sits back on the rafters to meditate over the puzzle*
 
  • #2,208
I've taken a quick shower now, so my brain is restarted again.. let's se now *looks over Melodykitns shoulder at the puzzle*

Hmm...
 
  • #2,209
*blinks and stares at Zarii*

Zarii-chan...? How'd you get all the way up here?

*points at the rafter and at how high up they are*

Try not to fall...

*giggles*

Well Zarii.. I posted the only thing I could come up with... but still no comprehensible words... or how to attach it to the mini grid or the big one...

*secures Zarii's line to the rafter as she speaks*

Oh yes, and I also got back at Omi..

*winks at Zarii as she points at the rather large stake through Omi*

I think he's not a vampire... mebbe...



((Two more hours and I'll be home to where I can try to think without getting caught not working *blushes*))
 
  • #2,210

Kitn, what do you work with? :P
 
  • #2,211
Electronic stuff... find bugs in the programming and then database it -,-;

Tedious...
 
  • #2,212
Sound's like a cool job

Possible word maybe: ICINAPUT? xD
 
  • #2,213

  • #2,221
ok yea..im back...earlier i didnt even feel like working on this puzzle...so i ate and took a break so now I am back to work!

any progression on 61?
 
  • #2,222
Another coincidence? My friend said it lukked kind of like a Caesar Box, so I started at X and went dow: SAGA. Any takers?
 
  • #2,223
whats a caesar box?

EDIT: i just looked it up...franklin i think u got something

  • #2,224
Cool, progress xD
 
  • #2,225
don't you need a square root number to use a Caesar's box? I only see 8 capitals...
 
  • #2,226
what about the letters in the small grid?
 
  • #2,227
still 8...
 
  • #2,228
not unless u add the y
 
  • #2,229
2.30am.. almost 24 h since me and kitn first got to this one :P (only a few hours more to go)

MelodyKitn said:
*sighs* Haven't gotten anything... except what everyone else probably already got cause I'm slow x.x

A->D->G->J->M->P->S->V

A 1(B) > 2(C) > 3 = D 1(E) > 2(F) > 3 = G...

Mini-grid turns clockwise in alphabetical order... the middle would be 'Y'

X is where you start.. second letter would be Y?

*confused* ; ;

:cry:


This is all I could get with the mini grid ...

  • #2,232
nope..i keep thinking of the same theories that miserable failed
 
  • #2,233
Great xD

But still, keep up the good ehm.. thinking everybody :D
 
  • #2,234
((Almost time for me to go home ^^ I'll see you all then))

*gives hugs and curls up in the rafters and falls asleep*
 
  • #2,235
Good night everybody.. se you later

*Waves*
 
  • #2,236
Er, this is ANNOYING. We are probably going about it COMPLETELY the wrong way: quick, someone think of something brilliant!
 
  • #2,237
ugh..i wish i had another clue...everything is so vague and there are so many ways to work with this...watch its going to be really easy and I am going to kick myself for it
 
  • #2,238
So when is the part where omega rides in on a silver steed and slays this riddle with a flaming sword? Because I am TOTALLY ready for that right now.

In brahm mansion in castlevania II, you get the Oak Staff, Gold Knife, Dracula's Eyeball, and 2 Clues.

Aaaand I have no idea what to do.

Back to staring (and probably drooling after this many hours awake) at the riddle
 
  • #2,239
*prepares her camera*

If Omi does it, I want a picture *giggles*

Well, back home... going to take a small break, and then try at it again.


With the combined forces of Omi, Greg, and when Devo gets here...

I have a feeling they'll be a whirlwind and breeze through these things o.o
 
  • #2,240
back to the drawing board. *holds a fresh copy of mini & master grid*

how's everybody?
 
  • #2,241
umm...im just kinda sitting here...im outta ideas
 
  • #2,242
*stands at attention*

Had a couple ideas - tired givving numbers to the AHRMMTYD (1 8 18 13 13 20 25 4) and then pairing them up with the compass and taking letters the correct space away and the correct direction. Didn't get much, but some of it sounded cool.

*sighs and tilts her halo out of her eyes*

It's just frustrating... I know we have all the pieces..

*flies down and picks up the mini grid and a Capital Letter from the cut up pieces Zarii's been playing with*

But bridging them together to make sense...

*sits crosslegged on the floor and sulks*

I've tried using the third-letter rule from the mini grid to the big grid... I just don't know where the Capital Letters come into play...



((Break again *sniffles*))

  • #2,249

  • #2,250
If this isn't the way to go then it certainly is just a pain in the butt.
