Wait.. I have the minute... not the hour for 44 >< Darnit!
 
Physics news on Phys.org

Thanks
thats what I was missing... geez sometimes... :P

Yeah ^^ Believe me, I overlook the obvious a lot. I'm just glad I can finally be of some use.
 
I knew that I was missing something obvious. On 41 now >.<
 
Congrats ffutahw ^^ Keep it up!

>.> Then maybe you can help me on 44...


I think I see the pattern... and know the time... but.. how to put it in is vexing me

Well, Seraph.. I believe I have the answer... or at least the pattern... but I can't, for the life of me, figure out what way to enter it (entering time can be done in different way.. numerically, using letters, what about hyphens... do I add o'clock? etc..etc..)
 
...this is sad..im still on 43..i put it on paint like u guys did..i rotated it so its the right way from the reflection..but i have no idea what it is..
 
Iggy, remember the way the coordinates were grouped?

Look at the coordinates and try and use it as if each group were a different letter.

(squint ^^ it helped for me)




Seraph, do you see the pattern?
 
i got the answer... but i can't figure out how to enter it either... for 44
 
Same here... there's way too many ways to enter time...

I'm off to lunch for about an hour. If you figure out the correct way Seraph, do let me know!

Well this is what I'm working with for 43. Am I close here? I'm not seeing anything useful on this. <http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j113/ffutahw/a6c4b87d.jpg[/color]>

Well, you got the middle one right *grins*

Okay.. how you connect the coordinates makes out some really blocky letters.

Try figure out what letters you can make from each group of coordinates

(in your case, the first set and the last set)

Umm how do you make the text spiffy white so I can lend better insight? ^^

use the code [ color=#black ] before the text you want to hide and the code [ /color ] afterwards (remove spaces between [ and c, d and ], [ and /, and r and ])
 
any news on the format for 44... still haven't figure it out...
 
Seraph.. I have two different answers since I see two different patterns, but none of the way I enter them work... ><

*peeks around* Omeeeegaaa.. where are you?
 
Hmm, reworking it a bit...

<I'm seeing the first letter looking like a D or possible a lopsided O or A, the middle letter is an I I'm almost certain, and the last letter looks like it could be a K or G, or possibly a messed up E. of the possible combinations of these, I thought "die" and "dig" looked promising, but neither of those got me anywere.[/color]>

Am I still nowhere close? 41 and 42 were so easy...
 
Melody we think the hands go in a pattern and there must be a way to know both numbers but we too can't find the format... Hope to see omega back on soon :rolleyes:
 
Ffut.. you found the answer. Retry those words again, because one of them should work.
 
Seraph, I see two patterns, but on one of the patterns, the first hour hand doesn't make too much sense. On the second set of patterns, I can go row by row and then take the last clock and loop it up to the first so it's a repeating sequence.

But yeah, that format... the riddler needs to at least hint the way the time should be put in since there's so many ways to tell time and there's no clue as to which format is right...

Example (not the answer)

EightFifteen
Eight-Fifteen
08:15
8:15
815
20:15
20.15
8.15
08.15

*cry*

Wow. I had overwritten the period before the htm when trying those. WTG Human Intelligence! on 44.
 
I've only gotten to the "coordinates?" at nr 43.. and i need a hint.. cause I really don't get any of what has been written about that puzzle in this tread
:rolleyes:

Edit: Never mind.. I got it :P

Hee-hee, wayta go Ffut and Zarii.. welcome to the suffering of number 44 along with me and Seraph ^^


*sits fiddling with numbers and formats*

#.# Oh my...

It's nice to be a part of the ongoing process... when I first was shown the riddle game, a good chunk was already decoded and it feels different being able to mingle with you all and be in the midst of the problem-solving ^^

Pleasure to 'meet' you, by the way!
 
I thought I was seeing a sequence at first, but the first two don't fit with it, and there are a couple places where its off. I'll have to keep looking.

There has never been a "-" in any answer before, there has been "_" but then it has been obvious that it was supposed to be that way.
Using colon in filenames is not allowed by windows. It is almost obvious that a point (".") would not be a relevant thing to put in an answer. That narrows you down to two possible ways of writing the time =)
 
*Hugs Boxcutter*

Spiffy! Now me and Seraph can get cracking sumore!

*grabs Zarii and Ffut* C'mon you two!


*fumbles around with the hands*

I'm just not getting the first clock to quite fit in with the patterns I find in the other clocks... so I fudge up the last one...

Or... I'm just getting the wrong answer all together ^^

Anyone?
