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" = ?
 
  • #2,716

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
