hmm...let the past inspire you...
 
yeah, what was the room of your darkest fears 666? ok, then the room of errors in half? that was the other line of folders...
 
for this next one the "look for help in your local library" led me to the dewey decimal system. which is three digits, so that fits.. from there ...yeah, dduardo beat me...
 
how about the "it is trying to touch you... listen to it"
 
861 - Spanish poetry
289 - Other denominations & sects
412 - Etymology
117 - Structure
431 - German writing system & phonology
237 - Not assigned or no longer used
532 - Fluid mechanics Liquid mechanics
659 - Advertising & public relations
627 - Hydraulic engineering
959 - General history of Asia Southeast Asia
822 - English drama
479 - Other Italic languages
134 - Not assigned or no longer used
862 - Spanish drama
571 - Not assigned or no longer used
216 - Good & evil
321 - Systems of governments & states
798 - Equestrian sports & animal racing
587 - Pteridophyta (Vascular cryptograms)
699 - Not assigned or no longer used

The only one of remote interest is possibly 216
 
i got the same things from a different site...
trying to connect the lines... let the past inspire? that's why i thought start with history.. i don't know how to listen to anything either..
 
yeah, but i don't know if it was literal this time.. just saying.
 
I didn't though I'm still on level 1.
 
hehe, well feel free to go back to page one of this thread if you need help. I'm pretty much stuck here all alone on 23

Sorry, I have to make this webpage for my school and they need it real soon, and I am lacking on design ideas...
 
I'm back...with nothing...we need the other guys
 
yeah... my browser closed... i lost the page...
 
i just finished up some work, so I'm going to try again. anyone else still around to work on it?
 
I'm here, I'll try again...
 
Yeah I'm done...or close enough.:smile:

So what is the deal right now on this riddle:

I. We are fairly certain that the numbers represent the dewey decimal system.

II. The only number that has to do with history is 959.

III. That whatever it is, it is trying to touch me...

What is the purpose of the connecting lines...its not adding up yet.
 
289 is the only number that doesn't have another link...in the dewey decimal system, that's "Other Denominations and sects"

Yeah, I tried messing around with that but nothing worked either...but it is definitely something to note...
 
same, i was trying to add and subtract things to no avail. i wonder if this is really all the hints we get or if we're missing something like we were in the first hall.
 
Probably, but I don't think it is refreshing because I have refreshed the page at least ten times...:redface:

Maybe the "past" they are referring to is a past riddle...

i was thinking that too. before my browser closed i was looking through old riddles, but i didn't see anything similar. i can't go back and check now though. only other time i remember seeing three digit numbers was the map
 
Where's boxcutter, he probably knows the answer
