Web-Hopper Riddle

[kathy]

can any one help? i'm having trouble with 66 i got bishop but when i enter the url i go to an ocatch search page. what am i doing wrong?
nevermind got it was using o instead of 0

[goldlust]

Thanks for the tip, manda - still trying to figure it out without cheating - but I don't see anything other than "He was born in 1835." and the URL to start with. I'm opening the clip info and I don't see anything more either...

I'm trying guesses as well, but either I've got the wrong author, or I just don't get the reference...

Mind giving me another nudge?

Thanks again-
-G

[goldlust]

Nevermind - turns out you get more information from Windows Media Player than RealPlayer - that made all the difference.

Thanks again!

[kathy]

has any body gotten anywhere on the mary had a little lamb hidden message?

[Sexiidimps]

Howdy peeps, anyone there?
I'm stuck on 66 too :(

[kathy]

the answer is in post 241
let me know if you can make any sense of the next one

[Sexiidimps]

I already got that one but thanks anyway. It's the Mary had a little Lamb that i'm stuck on!!

[Conico1]

same here...also stuck on Mary and her lamb....

[Sexiidimps]

All i get out of the message is:

Yes I can read this hidden message but it doesn't help
Of Mary had a little lamb
Box Yet Can
Help

i really haven't a baldy notion, does anyone else have any ideas????

[Hollandgirl]

how did you get that?? by the way: hello we're back :D

[Hollandgirl]

mvn found it but don't get it.. maybe we have to read it vertical??

[conico1]

Welcome back Hollandgirl...always nice to have a 'landgenoot' helping out on the forum

[Sexiidimps]

Yes i can read this hidden message but it doesn't help - is in the 7th line
Of Mary had a little lamb - is on the 9th line
Box Yet Can & Help are all on the 10th line

What you are supposed to do with them is beyond me though!!

Great to have you back by the way :)

[Hollandgirl]

heey cool another flying dutchman :D but i don't get it i can't read a message vertical so..

[Hollandgirl]

haha the message's got a dutch word in it: NEUS!!! it means nose by the way :P

[Hollandgirl]

hmm i think i'm just being crazy, but after lamb it says oy, we may need the word for a boylamb or something...

[SomedaySoon]

Hey, back yea HollandGirl i noticed that when i looked at the message, you think it might mean anything??

[Sexiidimps]

Nope, it's not ram, tried that :(

[kathy]

mary had a little lamb box yet can help no go? i tried school (because the lamb wasn't supposed to go there) but no good. copied it to paint but couldn't get anywhere.

[Hollandgirl]

you mean the dutch word?? i don't think so, i think the maker of the game just didn't know it was a dutch word... hmm i think i'm a bit too busy working on this game, i just had a bloody nose...

[Hollandgirl]

mary had a little lamb box yet can help no go? i tried school (because the lamb wasn't supposed to go there) but no good. copied it to paint but couldn't get anywhere.

what do you mean?? you mean, try to find a location the lamb isn't supposed to go??

[SomedaySoon]

No i meant the Lamb boy :P

[Hollandgirl]

ooh hahah!! well.. i dunno i haven't got a clue what to make of this one.. gotta get back studying for my latin test tomorrow ;) (but i'm still working on the game)

[Hollandgirl]

there's also the word 'wig' .. dunno if it means something though

[kathy]

and dog and rid

[SomedaySoon]

Im sure there are alot of words in there :D:D.

[Hollandgirl]

haha yeah i know.... maybe we have to find them all in order to make a complete sentence?? or they are just there to distract us from the real point...

[SomedaySoon]

I dont really have a clue, im quite puzzled oon this one.

[Hollandgirl]

yeah me too... but what box does he mean that can help us?? there was a box showing up (actually it was a pop-up) when i entered the site.. that could help us???

[SomedaySoon]

Yea i think thats just a pop up cause it changes all the time

[Hollandgirl]

actually, mine doesn't change but i agree.. it doesn't matter i just don't know what to do!! i'm dragging all 'may be helpful' stuff in...

[kathy]

mine changes every time and some times i get two, but they are just ads

[Hollandgirl]

yeah i know... i hate this game!!! i wanna complete it, because it's my first riddle i got this far by also being part of the discussion which answer to give.. but i guess these riddles are almost never completed...

[Sexiidimps]

there has to be someone who can help us out there.
It's just a matter of finding them.
Maybe we should try and contact mr logic himself!!

[SomedaySoon]

You should try playing Notpr0n or CWoT :), then you'll see that these arent soo hard. however i cant complete either of them haha

[tallerbird]

there has to be someone who can help us out there.
It's just a matter of finding them.
Maybe we should try and contact mr logic himself!!
As far as i know nobody has solved this one yet. Also i spoke to Mr. Logic last night and he isn't giving anything away just yet. If he thinks we need any hints he will post them on the forum so we all get them.

[Hollandgirl]

on which forum??? and where can i find those other games somedaysoon???

[kathy]

mr logic likes you to use your computer, so maybe this needs to be maniputaled someway?

[tallerbird]

on which forum??? and where can i find those other games somedaysoon???
This forum: http://simplecodeworks.proboards37.com/index.cgi?board=hopper

[Sexiidimps]

do you think it matters that this one is encoded in unicode?

[kathy]

can you change it to something else?

[Hollandgirl]

do you think it matters that this one is encoded in unicode?

i'm sorry, i'm dutch (not blonde:P) so i don't get it.. what's unicode???

[Sexiidimps]

if you right click on the page like you are going to view the source, you will see the word encoding.
i'm trying to open in word using different types of code, but as yet nothing that makes any sense.
i'll keep trying and let you know.
This is probably going to lead to nothing, but worth a try :P

[Hollandgirl]

h2=o; he=llo what does this mean? it was in the source...

[SomedaySoon]

on which forum??? and where can i find those other games somedaysoon???


http://www.cleverwasteoftime.com/levels/levelone.htm - thats CWoT

http://deathball.net/notpron/levelone.htm - thats Notpr0n

You need to know you need external programs for these riddles such as Photoshop etc. And there not for the weak minded :)

[Sexiidimps]

Where in the source holland girl? i'm unable to find it in it.

[Strat]

Also try maladjusted. There is a great forum here too with lots of games of all kinds: Maladjusted was my favorite of these type because I could solve most of them without help, but they were still very hard. I guess I am not smart enough for this riddle because I am stuck where all of you are.

http://www.the-geek.com

[Strat]

oops on the signature, a little large

[Sexiidimps]

hey guys, can you post the url of the one we're stuck on, my pc crashed and i lost the page :(

[kathy]

sent you a pm
i don't think mr logic likes to use the source for clues

[Sexiidimps]

i think you're right!! my pc crashed again when i tried to access the page we're stuck on. Maybe he has cursed me :(

[Hollandgirl]

yeah i think so :P haha no just kidding, by the way, that signature is good!! we're all letting man down in here! haha steeling their shoes, telling they don't live life right haha !! scroll left in the source at the longest line, you'll find it eventually.. but it's not much of a help, so we're back at where we were.. nowhere...

[Strat]

I have even taken the picture to OCR and broken the letters down and can't figure it out. I'm thinking maybe there is something about the box itself?

[Hollandgirl]

yeah, maybe.. i swear., i'm really bad at these games i just don't know and i've given up hope finding the answer myself ;)

[doglover]

have any of you read "the davinci code" already???i'm reading it and there is a part that i think that might help us....
we use an alphabet like this:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m
n o p q r s t u v w x y z

we replace some letter for the letter that is on the opposite side:
for example: we put "n" replacing "a" or "a" replacing "n"; "b" replacing "o" or "o" replacing "b"...................
maybe that help us a bit....

[kathy]

i know how you feel holland girl. either it makes perfect sense or it's like trying to get 2 plus 2 make 5. hpoefully theres a bright spark out there that will take pity on us and at least give us a shove in the right direction.

[Strat]

I'm at work, but I am quietly thinking about it. I know we can get this.

[Hollandgirl]

yeah you're right guys ;)

[Hollandgirl]

have any of you read "the davinci code" already???i'm reading it and there is a part that i think that might help us....
we use an alphabet like this:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m

for example: we put "n" replacing "a" or "a" replacing "n"; "b" replacing "o" or "o" replacing "b"...................
maybe that help us a bit....
yeah i read it but it's been a while ago so i forgot.. you think mr logic has read the davinci code?? :P

[Sexiidimps]

hi guy's, i'm back again. sorry i got sidetracked, but i'm at work and it's hard to concentrate on this puzzle and answer ridiculous questions by the numpty's i work with.
So, we're now thinking like Dan Brown are we?

[doglover]

yeah i read it but it's been a while ago so i forgot.. you think mr logic has read the davinci code?? :P
maybe....mr. logic really looks like jacques sauni?re, with all these misterys....don't you think?!?!?!lol :P

[Sexiidimps]

the Dan Brown thing is a non starter

[Strat]

I read it too, but it sure is hit and miss. I can't find any logic to suggest any certain pattern, but I already had searched and replaced some text to no avail.

[Sexiidimps]

Do you realize we all have spent the guts of a day on this, yet none of us will give in. how mad are we?? :P

[Strat]

Well don't leave me yet!

[Hollandgirl]

we're quite mad.. but we don't give up!! we won't, we just keep going!! well.. alright until it takes a week just guessing and doing nothin..

[Hollandgirl]

by the way.. the componer (dunno the word) of mary had a little lamb.. someone tried that already??

[Sexiidimps]

Don't worry Strat, i'll be here for at least another 30mins, then i gotta go for the day, but i'll be back tomorrow.

[Sexiidimps]

Composer - She was Sarah Ann someone from Boston wasn't she, i think she wrote it in 1830

[Sexiidimps]

This nursery rhyme was also the first ever words recorded by Thomas Edison using tinfoil on his phonograph

[kathy]

yes i tried hale the name of the writer didn't work(sigh)

[Hollandgirl]

well, that obviously didn't work.. got any other ideas??

[Hollandgirl]

This nursery rhyme was also the first ever words recorded by Thomas Edison using tinfoil on his phonograph
hmm thanks for the information.. i like that sort of 'fun to know' things ;)

[Sexiidimps]

i'm full of that kind of useless but interesting snippets :)

[Strat]

Her name was Mary Sawyer, later Tyler. I am reading this right now, maybe there are some clues here?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_had_a_little_lamb

[Sexiidimps]

Mr Logic, if you are about, please give us a little hint and point us in the right direction.
i'm going crazy trying all sorts of mad stuff to solve your puzzle.
I really would like to get a little further as this is the first riddle puzzle i've had half a chance of getting anywhere with. Please for my own personal safety :}

[kathy]

i'm full of that kind of useless but interesting snippets :)
ahh.but thats what will help us, if not on this level then soon very soon.
(providing we don't all leap off the nearest bridge before then)

[Sexiidimps]

LOL Kathy, i like your style ;)

[Strat]

Tried hale, roulstone, phonograph, edison, recording, telepathy, ewe, ram, recorder with obviously no luck

[Hollandgirl]

hmm yeah that's a good question.. shall i just jumpp?? naah life s good :D i haven't tasted enough of it so i just keep on going!!! even with this game or my latin test tomorrow which i will ruin because i was too busy playing this game ;)

[SomedaySoon]

Hey sorry i kinda got ditracted and left without warning hehe, anyway i can see were still not getting very far :|

hehe Kathy, at the rate were going i think i'll join you :P. But think positive the answer is there we just need to focus.

[Hollandgirl]

Tried hale, roulstone, phonograph, edison, recording, telepathy, ewe, ram, recorder with obviously no luck

wow,.. good you tried!! but i think we have to take this song a little less serious.. i think if we get the answer we just say: omg, THAT'S IT??

[kathy]

someone will throw us a bone soon i'm sure. no-one seems to have gotten any further in the game.
why is the box as wide as it is?
yesicanreadthishiddenmessagebutitdoesnthelpm why the m?

[Hollandgirl]

well it may be a hint.. but i don't get the hint!

[Sexiidimps]

no idea, but it's not the url either :(

[kathy]

I will say one thing.if this turns out to be latin you've got some explaining to do holland girl ha ha

[doglover]

yeah...i agree....why the m?!?!?!?!?is that some sort of clue?!?!?!?hopefuly it is a clue....but....how to solv it?!?!?

[Hollandgirl]

I will say one thing.if this turns out to be latin you've got some explaining to do holland girl ha ha

haha yeah u r right.. but it isn't!!!! by the way strat.. i see u're a member on the geek forum too?? if you see some helpful posts there then tell us ;)

[kathy]

nothing on the geek simplecodeworks or nordihno forums

[Hollandgirl]

gtg to my guitarlesson guys think i see you tomorrow, perhaps this evening... keep working!!! take some caffeine (or wathever you write it) and keep you brains on full speed :D :P

[doglover]

isn't there an other forum?

[SomedaySoon]

Cya Hollandgirl come back soon hehe. we need all the help we can get on this one

[Moirena]

Okay, it seems everyone else has passed by this one, but I just can't get it.

for the url that starts with simple.fcpages.com/93

(This is the YPJC VYVELA, etc.. puzzle)

In post 227, the answer is given as

30384

so, the url should be

simple.fcpages.com/93-30384.txt

But I get a File Not Found page with that. Am I misunderstanding? Entering the URL incorrectly? Has the page disappeared?

: (

Thanks!

[Sexiidimps]

ten/four good buddy :)
I'm hitting the road too peeps, so i'll catch ya'll on the flip side.
Take it easy and stay away from those bridges Kathy!!

[SomedaySoon]

http://www.simple.fcpages.com/93-30384.txt - that should work

[Moirena]

http://www.simple.fcpages.com/93-30384.txt - that should work

Gah, stupid www. Thank you. : )

[SomedaySoon]

Lol your welcome easy mistake when you spend so much time on these lol

[Moirena]

Lol your welcome easy mistake when you spend so much time on these lol

Well... Mr. Logic didn't include a www, so neither did I. ; )

Anyway.. I'm all caught up now. I'll pipe up if I have any ideas.

[conico1]

This is really driving me nuts....I hope somebody comes up with a clue here...the rest of the staff is wondering why i am swearing silently all the time this afternoon...hehehehe

[Strat]

I'm sure this code has a name, but I can't find it.

Holland girl, there is more action on this board than any forum I could find, but nobody has gotten it yet that I can see. Have fun at your guitar lesson, I have been playing since I was 7...for the record, that was a long time ago :)

[kathy]

gtg to my guitarlesson guys think i see you tomorrow, perhaps this evening... keep working!!! take some caffeine (or wathever you write it) and keep you brains on full speed :D :P
have a good lesson. i hope they teach you something other than smoke on the water(that seems to be all that the kids at my childrens school play ...over and over and over again!)

[SomedaySoon]

Haha should learn some proper music, Aerosmith, Metallica Green Day

[Strat]

Is there any significance that there are 11 rows of 44 characters? I am converting it to 44 rows of 11 characters to see if something shows up.

[Mr. Logic]

I will be posting a hint later today in the SiMPLE Codeworks forums:

simplecodeworks.proboards37.com

[Strat]

Any little push in the right direction would be wonderful, thanks for building a great game.

[SomedaySoon]

Thanks Mr. Logic were really stumped here, cheers my friend.

[mandajean2001]

anytime now

[Strat]

No kidding. I have substituted every rotten letter for another letter and analyzed this thing silly. I have deleted certain letters, I have changed the column and row order, but nothing, zilch.

[kathy]

my today and your today and mr logics today are very probably three different things timewise. so it might not be too soon.
i knew he would help! he is a riddlemaster but also a teacher(i think)
he wouldn't leave us all hanging for to long.
i do know that he doesn't like spoilers so don't give the game away in public! use pm'sor he will cut us out of the loop!

it's early afternoon @simple now
bedtime for loads of us now
i'll be back in my am
good luck and sleep well

[mandajean2001]

its there now but not that helpful..at least not to me

[kathy]

oh man well of to look for Adventure game in the am
if anybody figures it out please help :rose:
nighty night

[Strat]

He was basically telling everyone not to give out the answers, that what you learn in solving the riddle is more valuable than the answer (which I agree). I hope that wasn't the hint though...if it was, I am going to have to quit. It's too frustrating without even a little help.

[mandajean2001]

i dont think his "hint" would be telling us not to help one another out, it would be a hint

[Strat]

agreed, but still frustrated :) I have attacked this from every angle I can think of

[Emzy]

Hiya everyone i have joined this forum just for this riddle because it is stressing me out i am on the same puzzle as everyone else i think (mary had a little lamb one?) and i just can not solve it no matter what way i look at it. Anyone here have any ideas? If so please help me out thank very much in advance

[qwerty]

I think he's telling us that, in order to reach #42, we need to use something from one of the prior web pages that we visited.

[Strat]

It doesn't look like anyone anywhere has solved it yet. I have to leave in about 8 minutes, so I guess I will be back tomorrow...best of luck to everyone.

[praisingfool]

I just found web-hopper today. So far, I'm to the one that looks like this:

YPJC VYVELA, DPIR UZRBISLNII FD NYUKTI,
USXFYIJA TQH METHJSA QTWBLJMK NCVFES
FQBP PPQJ FJOLCW, AMQ XO BJLLQ BRE UVLTYK?

I know what question it's asking...
What number, when multiplied by itself, produces the largest possible number with nine digits, all of which are unique?

The only thing is...I suck at math and have no idea what the answer is!

[Unregistered769]

would u like the answer?

[praisingfool]

I figured that one out, thanks. Now I'm stuck on the Mary had a little lamb one. Mr Logic's hint It is written: "Just as in Adventure Game, information gathered along path can often find much usefulness later on!" is really no help!! ARGH! My brain is dead!!

[Unregistered769]

now you've just joined about everyone else i think

[praisingfool]

Ok, so if what we've learned so far is supposed to help...what have we learned? i don't remember all the answers. and none of them seem to go together...it's just random information.

[Unregistered769]

yup i have backtracked many times and can't find any sort of clue towards this one

[praisingfool]

Ok. There has to be a logical way to do this. Mr. Logic, we really need another hint!

[omfgitsjenn]

i'm stuck on this one too. gosh... my head hurts and i've gone through a litre of diet coke and i wont be able to sleep all night. :(

[nitooz]

Hi everyone,

I am stuck on the same level, surprisingly! I was wondering if the hint given didn't refer to previous levels....maybe the "path" he talks about has something to do with the other words found in the letters, before we get to the full phrases?

Does that make any sense?? LOL....just my tuppence ha'penny......

[omfgitsjenn]

well, what were the others?

there was cil, benches, 30384, .. what else?

[Sexiidimps]

Top 'o' the morning to you all.
I'm back with my batteries charged and ready for another day of racking my brains trying to decipher Mr Logi'cs riddle.
Along the path to get to where we are stuck we have, between us, solved 11 puzzles.
Now, the question is, what have we learned from these 11 puzzles that will help us find the answer to 'Mary had a little lamb'?

[omfgitsjenn]

maybe someone could go back and list all 11 answers... if someone did that, i could try to put my brain to use.

G'day Sexiidimps....I was wondering if we DIDN't have to backtrack to previous levels, just the previous lines of letters before we get to 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'.....but then again, that's probably what everyone has been doing anyway. Agghh. I can't even bear to stare at the darn thing for 3 hours again.
BTW - Antrim, Sexiidimps??? Big shout out from a former Co. Antrim gal ((waves)).

[omfgitsjenn]

shucks i feel left out. im in canada. but my mum was born in belfast? do i count? =)

so, what was the exact hint posted, i havent actually seen it?

[Sexiidimps]

Hey, nice to hear from someone from my neck of the woods :)

[nitooz]

Hi Jenn - don't feel left out...LOL...I'm just shocked to find another NI person on here!

The hint posted was as follows:
"Just as in Adventure Game, information gathered along path can often find much usefulness later on!"

[Sexiidimps]

shucks i feel left out. im in canada. but my mum was born in belfast? do i count? =)

so, what was the exact hint posted, i havent actually seen it?


Of course you count :) We're all under the one big sky, just under different parts of it, that's all :P

[nitooz]

YAY YAY YAY!!! I did a spoiler! Ah well, little amuses the innocent.

And on that note, the answers to the previous levels (in no particular order cos I can't remember) are:

bishop, 4590, benches, cil, dali, favorite, 30384, electronics, 3607, jupiter, 12832

No doubt I'll be corrected if I'm wrong. Not entirely sure that this is going to help!

[omfgitsjenn]

if it helps to play around with, i typed out the code... since its a picture and no one can copy/paste it.

[nitooz]

Have you noticed that the "yes I can read this hidden messages but it doesn't help" bit is gramatically incorrect? It should be message, not messages. Don't know if that matters, or if it's just me being pedantic about language. As usual.

[omfgitsjenn]

check my edit...

maybe the extra s and the m at the end are clues? maybe they dont count? bloody hell, who thinks up these? worse yet, who are we to rack our brains solving them....world peace better occur at the end of these puzzles. :lol:

also.. "YIER" appears atleast twice....?

[nitooz]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, that was better out than in. Didn't help much, though.

[timekilled]

pretty sure it says "hidden message"

[Sexiidimps]

pretty sure it says "hidden message"

You're right, i just checked myself and it says 'hidden message'

[nitooz]

You're right timekilled - jenn must have slipped in a typo there...bang goes my theory...

[omfgitsjenn]

:shy: whoops.

what does everyone think about my bolded words though? anything?

[nitooz]

Lolol

[doglover]

in one of the levels someone did something to find the secret message:
"JFQQBKP, OXFKAOLMP, XKA PKLT-
CIXHBP XOB GRPQ X CBT LC QEB QEFKDP."

and the hidden message was this:
"MITTEENS, RAINDROPS AND SNOW-
FLAKES ARE JUST A FEW OF THE THINGS."

maybe we could try to do the same....there is just one little problem.....i don't know how to do it...do you???

that was done by j + 3letters = m, f + 3letters = i.....

[nitooz]

it could be relevant, but at the moment it seems a wee bit unstructured to make any sense to me.

[Sexiidimps]

that was solved by shifting the alphabet back 3 placces. eg;
a=x
b=y
c=z
d=a
etc

[doglover]

that was done by j + 3letters = m, f + 3letters = i.....
humm...thankx...

[nitooz]

doesn't apply in this case though

[doglover]

what was the answer to this one?!!?

i have this message written over here but don't remember how did we solve it....
:(

[nitooz]

doglover - that had to do with the numbers printed in the background of that level..

[omfgitsjenn]

maybe someone can focus on putting together the broken sentences from words i bolded. i must go to sleep as it is 3:21am here.

[nitooz]

Goodnight Jenn - it's 7.25 pm here now, so still got time to make my brains burn out!

[doglover]

doglover - that had to do with the numbers printed in the background of that level..
yeah...i remember that...but how did we solve it!?!??!?!

[nitooz]

the numbers on the background - you took the first 14 numbers on each line, starting at the top left. Then you lined up the first 14 numbers with the first 14 letters, then the next 14 numbers with the next 14 letters, and so on. For example: YPJC - 2899. This meant you had to count back the relevant number of letters - Y - count back 2, p - count back 8 etc....giving you YPJC = WHAT.

[Sexiidimps]

Nite Jenn, maybe see you tomorow :)
By the way it's 10.40am here

[doglover]

sleep well jenn..........
it's 10.40am here too....

[nitooz]

I think this is annoying me more than other puzzle games...probably because I'm useless at the other ones, and this is the first one I've actually managed to solve any on my own!!! So this level is making me scream...LOL

[omfgitsjenn]

i think the coded question starts with "how is a".... check the stuff i bolded in a previos post.

[Sexiidimps]

I now have half my workplace trying to solve this freakin puzzle!!!!!

[Sexiidimps]

I will be posting a hint later today in the SiMPLE Codeworks forums:

simplecodeworks.proboards37.com




Mr Logic, many thanks for the 'hint' but it really hasn't helped us in our quest to solve your puzzle.
we need to know if we are on the right lines by bolding words in the text?
Half the world is now going crazy trying to get past this page.
Please consider giving us a more inciteful nudge in the right direction.
Thanks :)

[nitooz]

Yes please Mr. Logic - we'd really appreciate that, especially as you've got (as Sexiidimps said!) people from opposite sides of the globe having total meltdowns over this!

PLEASE!! Mwahhh....xxx Or I'll set my kitty cat on you....LOL... :str: :crazy:

[omfgitsjenn]

have you noticed i haven't gone to bed yet myself?

[doglover]

[Sexiidimps]

And i just might have to set my Snoop on you too!!!

[doglover]

[doglover]

[doglover]

oops.....too big......

[Sexiidimps]

Don't worry about it. How cute your pup is :)

[Sexiidimps]

So back to the puzzle..... are we any further on?????

[doglover]

Don't worry about it. How cute your pup is :)
i love your dog!!!!
he's sooo sweet!!!!!!!!

[doglover]

in the previous puzzle....that one white a lot of letters (BBCBCCDBEF....)....i can't understand what you have done to solve the puzzle.....could any of you explain it to me?!?!?!

[Sexiidimps]

i love your dog!!!!
he's sooo sweet!!!!!!!!

Sent you a pm :)

[Sexiidimps]

in the previous puzzle....that one white a lot of letters (BBCBCCDBEF....)....i can't understand what you have done to solve the puzzle.....could any of you explain it to me?!?!?!


Sure, we cut and paste the letters into a word document and then deleted all the letters except for the letter A.
try it and see what you get ;P

[doglover]

i got this:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[doglover]

and can't understand what this is............

[Sexiidimps]

Rofl :)

[Sexiidimps]

My bad.
I should have told you to do a find and replace function on the document and don't move any of the letters, replace them with a space instead.

[Sexiidimps]

You should end up with BISHOP being spelled out with the A's that remain :)

[doglover]

yeah....
AAAAAA AAAAA AAAA A AAA AAA AAA AAAAAA
A A A A AA A A A A A A
A A A A A A A A A A A
A A A A A A A A A
AAAAA A AAA AAAAAAA A A A A
A A A AA A A A A AAAAA
A A A A A A A A A
A A A A A A A A A A
A A A AA A A A A A A
AAAAAA AAAAA A AAAA AAA AAA AAA AAAA

i need to press "insert".......

[doglover]

ups.....
there's a little problem with that.....well...it doesn't mind....i've already got the point....

[Sexiidimps]

is it working any better for you now?

[doglover]

just testing....

[Sexiidimps]

Hey Nitooz, you still there?

[doglover]

yuppy!!!!!my first spoiler!!!!!!

[Sexiidimps]

well done doglover.
It's a good feeling isn't it :)

[doglover]

any of you know if "y" is considered a vocal in english???
my motherlanguage is portuguese and i only speak english in my english classes....and here...of course....so

[nitooz]

yep, still here - trying to do 101 things at once! Still thruppence none the wiser....

[Sexiidimps]

i'm afraid i don't understand what you mean by 'vocal' doglover, can you explain?

[nitooz]

doglover - do you mean like in spanish "y" means "and"??

[doglover]

i'm afraid i don't understand what you mean by 'vocal' doglover, can you explain?
vocals (a,e,i,o,u).....i think i'm not spelling it correctly.......

[Sexiidimps]

aahhh, you mean vowels.... no, y is not a vowel

[doglover]

doglover - do you mean like in spanish "y" means "and"??
no.......in portuguese there are consonants (b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m....) and vocals (a,e,i,o,u)....what i want to know is that 'y' is considered a vocal in english...

[doglover]

aahhh, you mean vowels.... no, y is not a vowel
stupid dictionary!!!!!!it was saying 'vocal'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sexiidimps]

y is definitley a consonant in English

[Sexiidimps]

does this have any bearing on the puzzle doglover?
I'm intrigued as to what you are thinking

[Sexiidimps]

I have gone through the previous 11 answers in their correct order and the only thing i can get as a pattern is.....

[Sexiidimps]

1 was a word
2 was a number
3 & 4 were words
5 was a number
6 was a word
7 was a number
8 & 9 were words
10 was a number
11 was a word....

does that mean that we are looking for a number here then???

[doglover]

could you tell me what's the last thing that mr. logic told us???i can't find it!!!!!

[Sexiidimps]

He said he would post a hint on his forum pages yesterday. when you get to the page it says....

Old Chinese Proverb
It is written 'Just as in Adventure game, information gathered along path can often find much usefulness later on!'

[nitooz]

MIOSTERTQYED ????


LOL...I'm only half joking by this stage! Think I'm going slightly daft?? Talking horses and Mary's Little Lamb 'n' All...

[Sexiidimps]

hang on, you could be onto something.
change your ED to the Y... what do you get????
Is this the answer???

[nitooz]

If it is, it's spelled wrong....

[Sexiidimps]

Cancel that... knew it was too good to be true!!

[Sexiidimps]

i really really really want to knock 7 bells out of something, this is now day 3 that i've been at this and i'm not sure how much more i can stick with it.

[Sexiidimps]

I'm gonna go for lunch now and try and clear my head.
I'll be back again in about half an hour.
See you both soon :)

[doglover]

do you have any idea nitooz??????

[nitooz]

no, sorry, I'm going to make a cup of tea & then try again. I'm in a similar frame of mind to sexiidimps!!

[doglover]

yeah....me too.....

[splat]

the answer is get stuck where all the darn pop-up ads are and click on them all praying for a clue while someone gets $$ for it. Ta da : )

[nitooz]

eh?

[Sexiidimps]

Hi guy's, i'm back but i don't think i'm any the wiser :)

[conico1]

I think the hint about txt number txt number is a ghood one though....i presume we are looking for a number......

[nitooz]

No, and my mug of green tea didn't generate any extra brain cells either.

[SomedaySoon]

Hey guys not that im much help hehe, but im back :P. I'll try and be as much help as i can hehe

[Sexiidimps]

I think the hint about txt number txt number is a ghood one though....i presume we are looking for a number......
Question is... how do we get a number from all those letters?

[Sexiidimps]

Welcome back SomedaySoon :)

[nitooz]

Somebody help meeeeeeeeeee!!!! LOLOL

[SomedaySoon]

Lol i'll try but as i have mentioned earlier im not very good with letters im more of a number person :P, but i'll try non the less.

[doglover]

maybe this doesn't make any sence but i'll try to explain you this...
in the latest messages (excepting the images), the messages are always wrote...but this one is a image....is a image with letters....so...maybe it as something to do with it...what do you think about it?!?!?!?

[doglover]

all this letters makes me remind of a "letter soup"......maybe we need to find a word...and that word is the key for solving the puzzle...

[doglover]

is anybody there??????????????????

[Sexiidimps]

I like your thinking on this doglover, maybe we need to 'think outside of the box'

[nitooz]

surely the phrases have SOMETHING to do with it - or are they just really there to throw us off the scent?

[Sexiidimps]

I'm clutching at straws here, but i've just noticed that in the last line of letters a few of them are doubled up. Wonder why that is?
There are 2 w's side by side, 2 e's, 2 s's and then another 2 s's?!?!?!?
Told you i was clutching at straws :)

[nitooz]

I'd noticed that before, but it would be a minor miracle if I could figure out the reason........got a sore back now and I'm GRUMPY!!!!

[doglover]

oh...mr logic...where are when we need you?!? :(

[nitooz]

going to leave it for tonight - husband is on his way home and it's almost 11pm - sorry guys! Will be waiting for any blinding flashes of inspiration.

[Sexiidimps]

Good Night Nitooz, maybe catch up with ya tomorrow. :)

[doglover]

11pm?!?!?!?it's only 1.50pm in portugal!!!jeez!
you're married?!?!?that means that i'm the youngest arround here!!!

[Moirena]

Well, I think my big idea turned out to be a no-go. But let's see if any of you can do anything with it.

I thought that the "information gathered along the path" that we have to use is the numbers that Mr Logic supplied us in each url (that we put the - and our answer after.)

If I did it right, I came up with 73, 43, 87, 31, 62, 43, 55, 13, 26, 93, 66

reading left to right, top to bottom, that gives us these letters:

EBBMCBPMSYM

or top to bottom, left to right:

NRXJARSTIBF

But I can't come up with anything from that. : (

[Moirena]

By the way, it's only 8:04 am here in middle America. I hope you don't all go to sleep on me. : )

[doglover]

well, lets focus on the numbers....i've checked the fibonnacci sequency and two of the numbers make part of the list - 13 and 55
so, fibonnacci has nothing to do with this mistery....

[SomedaySoon]

It's 2pm here and how do you know if your the youngest :P. Nahh Moirena im gonna be here for a while as i said isnt that late here

[Sexiidimps]

By the way, it's only 8:04 am here in middle America. I hope you don't all go to sleep on me. : )
LOL, it's just gone 14.10 here in Northern Ireland :)

[Strat]

Well heck, I'm back and I was sure you guys would have this solved by the time I got here, but NOOOOOOoo! :) Even with fresh eyes this morning I can't see anything different than yesterday. I went as far as trying "Friday", if you look in the last row towards the end, there is MTWThSS, for the days of the week starting with Monday. the H should have been F. That obviously didn't work, so then I switched all the letters two back (H-2 =F) and that didn't work so much either.

We can do this today, there is brain power here from all over the world and I might be the only American on the board. Strike that, Texan ;)

I'm a bit puzzled, using your formula, i don't get those letters?? going left to right, top to bottom i get
MLDUTRZEDLS

[Sexiidimps]

Hang on one second.....
There are 11 puzzles solved and 11 lines in this puzzle, any connection do you think?

[doglover]

It's 2pm here and how do you know if your the youngest :P. Nahh Moirena im gonna be here for a while as i said isnt that late here
i just need to know how old moirena is to know if i'm the youngest or not....i think.....

[Sexiidimps]

Great to have you back Strat :)

[Sexiidimps]

i just need to know how old moirena is to know if i'm the youngest or not....
Will it make a difference if you are the youngest :)
We still need everyone on board regardless of age.

[SomedaySoon]

Yea same Strat welcome back could use another brain on this one, yours is good enough, so get cracking mate, sorry i havent helped much hehe but i just look at this puzzle and feel like my heads about to explode letters hurt my brain.

[doglover]

Will it make a difference if you are the youngest :)
We still need everyone on board regardless of age.
well.....you're all much smartest than me....because you're older....you have more experience...do you understand what i'm saying?!?

[SomedaySoon]

Nope lol, im a bit stupid i just like to test my brain.
