Where did you find this site? I did a search on google high and low and couldn't find a link to it anywhere. Are you associated or know anyone associated with this site?

Also, I would like to point out the fact that "a lot" is repeated twice.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
a "friend" gave it to me and he apparently knew the creator of it.
the friend is just a fellow musician on another continent so it's not like i know them personally.
yes the riddle is new, it was published a couple of days ago he said
he refuses to give me clues though, he says he's not aloud to :P

yomamma and schrodingers dog, google styx river, its the very first link. i don't know where you got 100 years, but that's not the right answer. this is a great link cause you can see how all the other clues on the page fit in too. also Schrödinger's dog, i don't know anything at all about html coding either so you'll be as good at this as me... I'm still stuck on four, so you guys hurry up and help me. [/color]

Thanks it was late last night and had to go to bed just tell me the answer I've done all you suggested in fact before you suggested it and all the web sites >>Archeron or Cocytus< [/color] lead to have no web sites with riddles in them, I've tried all the web sites on the first page for both and tried including so and so river, that's what I did originally but nothing? I think either My google is broken or I'm just an internet moron, what's the website or better still just give me the link I'll catch you up if I can I'm good at riddles usually, just not literate with computers obviously. Anyone else who remembers that dimly back in time might want to help too :smile: Oh just to make sure I tried all the other rivers too in case.

Well I don't know if this has been cleared up yet...but the answer to the Deborah Cliff is <<chainreaction[/color]>>
 
Ah Omega what's the answer to three, short of someone giving me the answer I've tried all the spoilers and done all they suggest and nothing, now google should throw up the same for everyone: type in liar first entry: Tony Blair:Biography guaranteed,everyones the same right? So I'm being dense obviously, this is drving me nuts I've typed in all the river names and nothing like what gale has suggested as site comes up or any text like a riddle in google, you remember the answer? PM I'd like to get through this, I really feel I should have come up with an answer when I figured out Styx and then the river names but my internet tom foolery is unsurpassed :smile:

If you are speaking of "the river" level then the answer is <<nineyears[/color]>>

It describes how long one will be silent after drinking of the river Styx.
 
Thanks:Sorry I see what you mean, When gale said answer the riddle I thought she meant a riddle on the site ie what has 4 legs in the morning two in the aftenoon etc,etc... and I couldn't see anything riddle style format wise not that she meant just read the text? Doh I am a moron :smile:

Well the first part is <<antonin This takes you to another part of the riddle[/color]>>
 
Boxcutter said:
yeah. and i some other clues as well

Do tell...:biggrin:
 
i searched for what is in the ditch, and got a name (fits right in with antonin).. don't know how to use it though =/
 
Yeah I got that too...hmm

The title is "more than a composer"

Dvorak is a type of keyboard just as qwerty is...

Now it makes sense...

ah yes i guess it's only to decrypt that stuff then! =)
 
Dont' forget: Red: D->Q | Green: Q->D

Here is a tool to convert:

http://wbic16.xedoloh.com/dvorak.html

From wikipedia:

"Dvořák wrote his Symphony No. 1 in C minor when he was only 24 years old. Later subtitled The Bells of Zlonice after a village in Dvořák's native Bohemia, it is clearly the work of an inexperienced composer. The scherzo is considered to be the strongest movement. It has many formal similarities with Beethoven's 5th Symphony (for example, the movements follow the same keys: C minor, A flat major, C minor, C major), yet in harmony and instrumentation, Dvořák's First follows the style of Franz Schubert."

well you translate from Dvorak to qwerty then from qwerty to dvorak, like the hint in the source code says. and then you get mansion_ahead[/color]
 
So it seems that we still have a ways to go...

Do you notice the span in between red and path?
 
yeah i got that, but i don't know what to call it, "door" "entrance" "front door" am i dense?
 
no no, i got that, what do you do after that??
never mind i got it... thedoor[/color]
 
yeah, i was getting frustrated with that too. so once we have the map, anyone know what to do with all these coordinates??
 
:biggrin: Has anybody "walked along the path" yet
