*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:

Did the bag have anything to do with it Omi?

*curls back up under her wings to sleep*

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*

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..

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

Well, off to work... to do actual work... *cry*

Will try to sneak peeks at the riddle to help decode it when possible.

*hugs to everyone*
 
  • #2,751
morning guys...back to 68
 
  • #2,752
*sneaks in*

Ssshh... no one sees me o:)
 
  • #2,753
Maybe it's some kind of picture or text.. where if you put it on top of the picture and check the dots, they'll have a secret message...

makes me remember the 'enlightenment' story..

There are three references to 'guidance' in there, and only one of them starts out with 'the guidance'...

Worth a check?

I can't do it here at work tho, I don't have any programs :cry:
 
  • #2,754
so... quiet...
 
  • #2,755
SHHH...my yeast is rising...
(aka thinking alot)
 
  • #2,756
I've pretty much run out of ideas...
 
  • #2,757
Well, I got 61, then got swamped at work. Now, to give 62 a shot.
 
  • #2,758
has anyone gotten somewhere with 68? :)
 
  • #2,759
The forum tells me that 62 will just come to me if I keep thinking about it. So I'm not going to ask for a hint, just another cup of coffee.
 
  • #2,760
I'm home from work, hungry and now I'm going to solve this one xD
