Riddle game - Something for you scientists

[iggy_killer]

haha yea..im stumped myself

 

[ffutahw]

Blargh. I could have sworn I had 60...
< I eliminated the shaded/lighted letters, and descrambled the remainder to get "forsakenthreads" but it still isn't working. I think I'm getting closer though.[/color]>

 

[ffutahw]

ffutahw: the first row, the square in which the H is is brighter than the square in which the U is. sorry for making it so unclear. try increasing the contrast in some image editing program

No, it's ok, you aren't responsible for my own shortcomings

 

[ffutahw]

ffutahw: try using another system for descrambling them.. remember: it's getting darker...

Thats what I was doing initially before the hint to ignore the ones with shadows. Going from brighter to darker squares with the shaded ones removed is making it exceedingly difficult to form any words. I'll keep at it though. Urgh, the medium red color needs vowels dammit!

 

[Zarii]

Lala.. *I'm singing in the.. ehm.. dark?*

This ain't going well, I've almost given up finding a sistem.. at this point I'm just guessing words

 

[ffutahw]

ffutahw: the shaded ones removed... what about the glaring lights?

I have the ones with the bright background removed as well. Are they supposed to remain?

 

[Boxcutter]

i'm not sure what you mean by bright background, seeing as some of the squares are bright

 

[ffutahw]

I meant the ones that appear to have lights behind them as opposed to shadows.

 

[ffutahw]

Whatever the case, I got to get out of here, so I'll get back to it tomorrow. Maybe it'll come to me tonight.

Omi is still at work, from the looks of it, and I'm sure Greg would have peeped in at some point if he were awake...

*pokes at Omi and Greg's sleeping bodies*

Yeah.. they're out cold.

*wipes her mouth with a napkin*

Lunch is over! Time to get back to this conundrum...

Yep, I am still at work. I should be going home, but my car has a flat tire, so...

Anyways, I am on 61.

 

[MelodyKitn]

((*hugs Omi*

Be careful driving back home Omi!

We'll see you when you get home!

*grumbles*

3 more hours... 3 more hours... for me...))

 

[Zarii]

Got anything?

 

[Omega_6]

Got anything?

I'll let you know if I get home.

The "mechanics" have been repairing my tire for a long time now...
Any day I get off early, something like this happens... Plus, I have been riddle-deprived since 5:30 this morning.

 

[MelodyKitn]

Zariii...

*tugs on Zari's shirt*

Letters have been swimming in my head all afternoon...

*starts walking all tipsy*

And none of them make sense...

*her halo crooks over her forehead as she walks into a wall*

 

[ffutahw]

Blargh. There must be something wrong with me to be having so much trouble with 60. It should be right in front of me. I've been staring at these letters forever. I tried to take a break but I'm seeing this square whenever I blink. <Lightest shade-> R,A. Pinkish-> H,F,R. Red-> D,K,S. Dark Red (transparent)-> E,T,A,N. Light Purple -> E. Dark Purple-> O,S I've been able to come up with a couple words just by rescrambling those without sorting by shade, but when I try to order it lightest to darkest...[/color]> I can't make sense of it...

Maybe my eyes just suck.

 

[Zarii]

Seems I'm not the only one that's tired of this xD

*Hands out energydrinks*

C'mon people, we can do this

try reading row by row...

 

[ffutahw]

I want to help out on 61, but I have to finish this damned 60 first. It's not fair

 

[ffutahw]

I'm thinking maybe I just don't have the eyes for this one. I'll keep at it though.

 

[ffutahw]

Just got it. Blargh!

 

[MelodyKitn]

*hides* Oh well... *throws her letter to Ffut in the trash and climbs back up the rafters to glance at the puzzle again*

 

[Zarii]

*Cheers ffut on* xD
on to the secondpart of 61, hurry hurry

 

[ffutahw]

Man, I still can't believe how long that one took me. Everyone should smack me for that one.

 

[iggy_killer]

FFUT TO THE RESCUE!...cuz we are all outta mind power

 

[ffutahw]

And I'm on the second part. Wow, now I see why you're all going nuts lol.

 

[ffutahw]

back later!

 

[MelodyKitn]

*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* ; ;

 

[ffutahw]

I think I may have a major lead on this. When I get home I'll work on it some more. Posting link here so I can get it at home.

Spoiler if you aren't on it. <Umm... Deleted from my own stupidity[/color]>
