So...

I don't know if this means anything but the 4 numbers you get from taking each number to the (1/4) power are 13, 17, 19, and 23.(on level 5) Does anybody have anything?[/color]

Level 5:

13^4 = 28561
17^4 = 83521
19^4 = 130321
23^4 = 279841

Prime? Odd?

4th powers of primes

lol

I had typed in prime and it was incorrect and then after reading this i typed in primenumbers and it was right. :biggrin: [/color]
 
I figured out riddle 6:

palindrome

[edit] I'm on fire now. Riddle 7:

The link is within the source code

Riddle 8:

impaler

I can't figure out the keyword for Riddle 9. I believe I found the context:That was not a forest, that were the impaled inhabitants of Tirgoviste!

 
try stakes[/color]

psst : what's the color that hides this best ? White doesn't work too well...
 
dduardo said:
I fixed it for you. The color is
Got it...thanks !

Any ideas on the next one ?
 
Change stakes.htm to stakes.mp3

It is hard for me to decipher what they are saying. Are they saying:"Take me out of here?"
[/color]
 
"Take me away"
[/color]
 
yeah, i think for level 8 its referencing beethoven's 9th symphony. but then that has nothing to do with the stuff in the source code. so maybe I'm wrong. [/color]

Yeah, that is one freaky voice though lol.
 
Gale That was my guess too, so I tried choral.htm and beethoven.htm - neither worked [/color]
 
yeah, i tried that too, i think maybe its the sixth
now.. but i can't get that to work either. grr, stuck... do you think the stuff in the source code means anything?

That doesn't seem to be it either.

Okay...got it...never mind. Should've got it before !

How the heck did you get that? Wow

[edit] It looks like we are nearing the end. The flow of the story has been following Castlevania II pretty well.
 
The next one is:

directions, if you didn't know...[/color]
 
yeah, i noticed that too. all i get with google are hints for that game.
 
I looked into Castlevania, but not castlevania II...
 
Any luck with the name ?
 
ok, so for figuring out this guys name. clue 6 says that the 6th and 7th letters are in Am, so they're ACE. then clue 9 says that if you saw the world through a mirror the fifth note is i.. but the fifth note backwards is the 6th note, which has to be ACE... so i don't get it... other than that, i used the chart dduardo posted early for clue 5. clue 2 is m? what else would it be?? for 7 i took away the letters that appear in frozen from fire and got i. and you 'c' when you open your eyes. that's all I've got so far. [/color]
 
so...SPOILERS AHEAD

The first letter is C...I think that the third letter is W...any luck with the others?[/color]
 
Gale, I'm not sure you can trust the table I posted a page back. I don't think we were supposed to see that until later.

Yomamma, yes, the M would be inverted.
 
okay...I got more:


Clue #2 s self-explanitory, it's W
Clue #4 says to take the achievable(possible) away from the impossible. impossible-possible= im
Clue #5 say it's in place. (1,6) first row of your keyboard, siz letters in is y
Clue #8 says the first letter is what you do when you open your eyes, c
Clue #9 say if you saw the world through a mrror, letter 5 would be i. since there are 7 letters total, letter 5 is 2 away from the end...but in a mirror, letter 3 is what we're looking for, so letter 3 is i.

Which means: C-IWY--[/color]
 
since there are only clues for the first seven, no.
