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

*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 ...

*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

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

*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

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*))

If this isn't the way to go then it certainly is just a pain in the butt.
