Maybe we shouldn't be looking at the actual capital letter, but its position in the sentence?

I've also tried this idea. But... what to do with the question marks? Count them or not? Same with spaces :confused:

Bad Frankling, shame on you.:wink:

*Crawls solemnly back into corner*

Ok, a couple things I noticed: A and G (corners of the compass) are also corners of the grid - but the others don't mach up, so its probably coincidence.

Now, the sentence:

whAt is tHis gRid infront of you? it seeMs soMeone is Trying to confuse You, Doesn't it?

Capital letters are at (word, letter)
1,3
3,2
4,2
9,4
10,3
12,1
15,1
16,1

It doesn't look like any sort of pattern, but if you see any answers in there, please tell.
 
Okey let say this then..
AHRMMTYD
represents the numbers 32243111
which might be the number of steps to go by when we later on use the little grind as a "compass", but how do we find out which directions we should go in?

Uhhh... magic?

On a brighter note, I somehow ended up with "Dry Math" from the anagram solver. Maybe this is some sort of morbid joke?

Haha..

O.o what anagram solver?
 
you get dram myth too...but I've tryed that
 
This cannot be a simple anagram thingie. We have to use somehow the grids.
 
Yeah, but I keep having an urge to do it like a word find. So far I have found "mersqn", "groaz", "waup", and "traucd" - some of them are lamost words.

Ok, back to staring blankly at the grid.
 
Haha.. my father is working on it too, I kinda commanded him to solve it for me xD
 
haha well that's how u get it done..make someone else do it
 
haha nah, I can think by my own,it's just that, i think that I'm thinking the same thought over and over again.. going around in circles :P

Btw.. he gave up -"I'm to tired for this"

Well, I'm taking my scissor, some paper and this riddle and I'm going to lie down staring at my cieling for a while trying to solve this puzzle of hell..

MAYBE it's an incredebly obvious answer with nothing to do with the letters or the grid, and he's trying to confuse us.

Well, that's how it would work in MY little world.

LOL, that would be something! But i don't think it's the case though.

I'm asking myself: WHY is x the point where to start from? I know, because the riddler said so :smile: But... maybe this starting point is set by a rule/method that will help us to find the next point.
 
Se you all in a little while, I'm going to watch Family guy and then Gladiator on tv.. Good luck, and as always, If you figure out the answer don't forget about me :)
 
Ok, I'm headed out for a few hours, when I come back I want to see the answers all the way up to 70. Good luck!
 
Blargh. Anyone have any useful hints for 60? None of the words I'm trying work, and they all look like they should fit :-/
 
*curls up and brings out food from her picnic basket and munches quietly*

((out to lunch))

There is a very good hint given by Zarii a few pages back. And you'll have to find more than a single word.
 
Do you think one might find out the answer on 61 by just trying to find that 8 letter long word without having to use the compassthingy?

Honestly, no. I don't think it is there just because.

Me neither.. but hope is the last thing that leaves the human body :)
 
How are Greg and Omega doing with this riddle then?
Reached 61?

(Don't know if you're online but, you'll probably read this sooner or later)
 
Omi is still at work, from the looks of it, and I'm sure Greg would have peeped in at some point if he were awake...

*pokes at Omi and Greg's sleeping bodies*

Yeah.. they're out cold.

*wipes her mouth with a napkin*

Lunch is over! Time to get back to this conundrum...
 
ffutahw: the first row, the square in which the H is is brighter than the square in which the U is. sorry for making it so unclear. try increasing the contrast in some image editing program
 
((I was walking around lunch with a pad of paper and the letters scribbled on it while I was walking... oh so many walls to avoid...))
