Riddle game - Something for you scientists

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Observant suggests what are the statues looking at? Just a wild guess?

 

[Gokul43201]

Above the door, there's a picture of what appears to be 2 cherubs (angels). There's something between them...any idea what ?

Also, can anyone read the text above the door ?

 

[dduardo]

"You are out of this world."

It looks like a globe above the door, which is what the statue is looking at? Perhaps some planet? Mars, Venus...

Perhaps red is the color of the planet or celestial object

 

[Gale]

grr, i don't like these levels. I'm not good at guessing a word, i like doing something to solve for it.

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Gokul I've been trying to read that for so long I've gone blind

Where's Sherlock Homes when you need him?

 

[Gale]

is the statue looking left also the only one without a beard?

 

[Gokul43201]

There's 10 statues. What might they represent ?

Edit : The ten kings in Revelation ?

 

[dduardo]

Here is a cleanuped version of the image:

The guy on the right is holding out his hand for some reason?

 

[Gokul43201]

Revelation 17:12 The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. [13]They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. [14]They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.

Might these not be the ten kings then ?

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

I noticed that, it looks like he's asking for what is in one statues hand. What is that? A scroll a map, a sceptre? Or a lever, like to a secret door wishful thinking probably :)

 

[Gale]

so gokul's already been to the third hall eh...

 

[Omega_6]

so gokul's already been to the third hall eh...

I personally am shocked... Actually I've been beginning to think that...but it would be the riddle's victory over me.

So Gokul, I think that you shouldn't share for the sake of integrity.

 

[Gokul43201]

You folks are not the first, or the second to have that thought.

I'll keep that in my pocket ...till all else fails...

 

[Gale]

i knew i couldn't be the only one... this puzzle is just so obscure. like that mountain one. i know I'm not going to be the one to solve this.

i need more clues arrrg!

 

[dduardo]

The more I look at the picture the more it seems like the angels are holding a three pointed crown. On the right it is a male angel and on the left it is a female angel.

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Maybe Gokul got it right and this is a red herring, it's awfully red

EDIT: I'm sure those angels are pointing to a hole in the roof? Is that a hole, and the first king is looking at it, I think I'm grasping at straws?

 

[Gokul43201]

Holy cow !

Does everyone else see the "spelling is important" written across the top of the walls ?

I was just fooling around with different guesses, and when I came back to hall1 I found the above text scrawled on the walls, and I could've sworn they weren't there before !

Edit : Okay, I'm not sure how it happened but I've got it...I'm in hall 2 now. The hint is in what I wrote above.

 

[dduardo]

what did you enter that caused that?

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

if you press refresh F5 it appears, good job there.

 

[Gokul43201]

I think I posted the answer to hall 2 before, but let's try and crack it afresh...

 

[Gale]

whats spelled wrong?

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

It looks like there's an apostrophee after spelling' I have no idea why? Spellings?

 

[Gokul43201]

<<The freaking URL - it says "boldey" instead of "bodley" [/color] >> ...fix it !

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

nice :) 10 chars

 

[dduardo]

hehe:

[Gale]

what is that?

anyway, the text now looks like roman numerals.

 

[Gokul43201]

dd : that isn't actually hall3 ...it's outside hall3.

 

[dduardo]

666.htm[/color]

less then 10 char

 

[Gokul43201]

What I think I see :

DIT%o0iXPih - on left wall

\infty \Delta %oOzXDih - right wall

And there's 2 D I 's below them.

Agree/disagree ?

 

[Gokul43201]

dd: I know that's the answer, but how did you solve it ?

 

[dduardo]

Roman numeral conversion (based on the hall3 picture). Basically it was close enough to the number.

[Edit] It was a complete and lucky guess

 

[dduardo]

next couple:

devil.htm, then demon.htm[/color]

This will get you to the third hall

 

[Gokul43201]

But what about all the crazy text in hall2 ?

Anyway, have you vanquished him ?

PS : I can no longer open the hall3.jpg url that dd just posted.

 

[dduardo]

It was: http://www.draculasriddle.co.uk/bodley/hall3.jpg

Now it's: http://www.draculasriddle.co.uk/bodley/thelasthall3.jpg

 

[dduardo]

Hmm, that's odd, both devil[/color] and satan[/color] get you to the same place.

 

[Gokul43201]

And lucifer doesn't work...so what other names does he have ? Abaddon ? Belial ? Nope...

Also, did you see text saying something like "if you've come here from level 16, you're on the wrong track" ?

 

[dduardo]

I've tried a bunch of alternative names but it isn't vanquishing him.

[edit] Yes, I saw that message too., but we were past level 16, so it must be ok.

 

[Gale]

yeah i think the creater is fixing it while we're playing hah. wonder if he's perusing this thread to see what we've done.

 

[Gokul43201]

Not apollyon, not beelzebub...

 

[Gokul43201]

Maybe it is boxcutter's creation after all, and s/he's just messing with us !

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Doing it too name wise, red devil? hmmm.. maybe it's a name in roman terms hence the numerals, but that makes little sense and what is 1 5 10 50 100 500 and is there any significance? Hades nope?

 

[Gokul43201]

[edit] Yes, I saw that message too., but we were past level 16, so it must be ok.

Well, the first time I came here (see a couple pages ago, in this thread), I think it was from level16 or 17 ! And that was just a fluke.

It sure looks like this game is changing as we play it...hmmm ! There's going to be some explaining due at some point...

 

[Gale]

the roman numerals mean 666

 

[dduardo]

In the comments it says:

<!-- It's his number -->

You got the numbers backwards. String them together, and they make 666.

PS : Not beast, thebeast,...

 

[dduardo]

Try this converter:

http://ostermiller.org/calc/roman.html

Just enter: DCLXVI and you'll see it is 666.

 

[dduardo]

I think we need the power of three to vanquish him

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Nero was the first antichrist BTW According to the number and his name any way. hehe, Christians then Catholics, anti christ every century

Also the Jews see his number as the second coming since the jews see 666 as a holy number not a satanic one? Anyway I digress, I've used all the names I can think of?

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

That is his number... Who is he? (If you got here from riddle 16, you're not on the right track..)

erm here we go. type 666 what is riddle 16 I can't remember?

 

[dduardo]

riddle 16 was the map
