Oh.. 2 smart persons, because I'm still getting nowhere, but well, I have been a bit distracted with other things :P

But the water seems so inviting, and I'm burning up >.<

Nah, It's the greatest, you're just weird, even weirder than me
 
  • #2,826
I'm thinking in one direction right now and that's no good.. I'm just thinking "map" something that show's the direction that we have used before but, it doesen't fit with the riddle.. (maybe I need to clear my mind a bit)
 
  • #2,827
Boxcutter, is backtracking necessary on this one to get somewhere?
Especially if you have a bad memory like me?
 
  • #2,828
zarii: not really, you would probably have no idea what to do unless you had played earlier riddles on this one, but i wouldn't say you need to backtrack. you obtained something in an earlier riddle, which you will have to use now
 
  • #2,829
Okey.. I know I can get this one, I just need to think
 
  • #2,830
I'm thinking I may need to throw in the towel here.
 
  • #2,831
Nothing I can think of fits.. I've probably overlooked something.. how annoying

Tha hell you won't, you can do this.
 
  • #2,833
No, I mean, I was fine for a while, but I've been stumped to the point of needing major help on the past couple of these, and now I've been stuck on 62 for hours, and this one is supposed to be obvious, plus I'm starting to obsess over it.

At the very least I need to take a break from it.
 
  • #2,834
I stick with my comment :)
