  • #1,325
huhuhuhu

but its all i have. :frown:

i'll have to take up osX 101 to solve this. or maybe go to an internet bar to do this. :frown:
 
  • #1,326
Well I'll be Ffut.. I can't seem to find how you got all that information O.o

You guys sure work a lot whenever I leave *laughs*

If the way I'm thinking you should find the answer is the way Ffut found it... I'm rather sorry to say for me, it never worked and for some reason, I could not get any information in that manner.

not sure if you can get Mozilla for Mac, but Mozilla has a built in view source for pictures, that you can view with that

Perhaps that's it.. you see, I use Internet Explorer and Firefox.. and my friend who first showed me the riddles insisted I use explorer since he mentioned there were problems with things not showing up on Firefox.

If that's the case.. without Ffut's help, me, Iggy, and perhaps a few more were probably on the right track, but if the track is broken, of course, we were getting nowhere.

Talk about fumbling in the dark with this..damn vampires
 
  • #1,331
Ey Greg, how did you figure out nr 54 so fast?
 
  • #1,332
thanks zarii! that felt really stupid.
 
  • #1,333
My eyes are sore :)
 
  • #1,334
err..i hope I am not searching wrong on this one...and i need a narrow my search down
 
  • #1,335
So.. how's it going for everybody else than me on this riddle?
 
  • #1,336
Just...meh
 
  • #1,337
HAHA 1337 post
 
  • #1,338
its hard to search for something you don't know of but we'll get there. I've tried a bunch of names already but no luck...
 
  • #1,339
haha, you guys'll get it
 
  • #1,340
...i haven't even got a name of a vampire yet that fits the picture...half of them of tv and movies and buffy...
 
  • #1,341
Oh please.. no.. no more Buffy ; ;
 
  • #1,342
has anyone else aside from greg has advanced to the next level? (from level 54)
 
  • #1,343
Probably him and Omega ^^

They're quite adept at figuring these things out
 
  • #1,344
I am still 100% NOWHERE on 53, even with Omega giving me the bingo, I have no idea how to use the information I have.

Knowledge without the ability to apply it is useless :-P Back to the grind! I'm going to solve this thing!
 
  • #1,345
Is the picture important in solving 54?
 
  • #1,346

Yeah, I have. Iggy, you're going about 54 the wrong way right now. Look for "suspicious" things.
 
  • #1,347
Zarii: try looking where you don't usually look...
 
  • #1,348
:confused: am i seeing letters on the painting or am i beginning to hallucinate? :smile:
 
  • #1,349
Speedy: um... you might need sleep at that point...
