Who else here are on 68?

I talk(write) to much, don't I ? >.<
 
  • #2,708
hi everybody! present on 68!

*starting to feel nauseated at the sight of the image*

i didn't sleep well because i was half awake/dreaming of the square & dots.

:smile:
 
  • #2,709
At first i thought that that square had something to do with the map, but since i couldn't explain to myself why it would have something to do with that I left the idea.. and that's how far my brain has had time to think about it

before I go to bed.. ouch.. work tomorrow and it's almost 2.30 am
 
  • #2,713
i'm back. but not for long.

so, i have been thinking about the dots and i just noticed that they come in different sizes! But so what?!
 
  • #2,714
Maybe the bigger dots are more important than the small ones, to begin with..
 
  • #2,715
"The guidance" + some dots (some of them are bigger than others) + a square thingy + the letters "Te" + "You have used it before" = ?

I would think of this riddle as...a time to get some sleep in without worrying about having to catch up.:cry:
 
  • #2,719
okay, let's take it nice and slow. one at a time. first, figure out what the square and the dots represent. i had a lot of ideas before but couldn't get it right. apparently, that image is needed to get to the answer.

Because of the square and the words "you have used it before", I'm thinking map, grind or that square at the ferryman..

the dot's must represent a letter of some sort

  • #2,723

"Prefrontal lobotomy" maybe? :p
 
  • #2,731
frontal lobe castration = Prefrontal lobotomy... One flew over the Cukoo's Nest

*starts a game of Yu Gi Oh!*

I lift the curse of "Swords Of Revealing Light!"

I summon "Monster Hint!"

(Otherwise, I'm going to have to give someone a solid-right-hand-upper "box-cut!")

:wink:
 
  • #2,733

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure this riddle has something to do with some kind of extreme torture. Slow and agonizing.

hey, the T could stand for "torture" and e for "extreme!" "torturetotheextreme" or backwards! Good job!

*lies*

Thank you. It was definitely out of the box.
 
  • #2,737

  • #2,738
*stares at the box of dots*

err..brain hurts...must look away for 10 minutes
 
  • #2,739
Hey in level 59, does "where the wind bites hard" refer to a specific place? A clue would be good! :)

Good morning people.
I must ask:

Does anyone have a problem with the ads on the "lost.htm" page? Do they bother you at all, or is it okay that they are there?

i'm not annoyed.. as long as the ads stay on the window, they're fine for me.. i hate popups..
 
  • #2,743
on 68..

i tried using all of the previous answers that have the letters T and E in them, and also with the answers written backwards - to no avail..

i wonder what the square and dots are for? :confused:

don't ask me. I have nooooo idea what that is! Swear! :wink:
 
  • #2,745
LOL in line with "you have used it before", the usage of previous answers proved useless..

as for other stuff we've used:

1) silk bag - encryption tool doesn't look usable here
2) helper - no other letters to input
3) map - sure, the points look like coordinates, but they're kinda small
4) grids - the grid in "oldoak-b" (i think) is the closest one in size compared to this square

i'm guessing that the answer starts with the word "The" (from T_e)..

going out in a while.. i might be left behind again when i get back :p
 
  • #2,746
Good morning *yawn*
