The PuzzleFiles

[SparkPlug]

If you like puzzles that require logic, test your powers of reasoning, or just drive you insane then this is the place for you.

It is intended that this site will contain a number of contests, together with a very friendly forum where you can obtain help, provide help, and meet other gluttons for punishment.

Our flagship contest is "Labyrinth", a devilish maze of puzzles... can you find your way out?

The only way to know for sure is to register and give it a go!

The.Puzzle Files (http://www.thepuzzlefiles.com).

THIS CONTEST IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT!
... and requires knowledge of, amongst other things, mathematics, science, the english language, and decryption.

[Strat]

Anybody?

[Strat]

nobody?

[Slynge dk]

Yes, yes, I'm there.

Just had to get past the first one to see if this is something I want to try and play... I think it is, but not right now - I have a meeting....

I'll be back!

Sly.

[Strat]

Cool! I am currently stuck on C1: Worried Eyewitness. Feeling rather dumb in fact.

[SomedaySoon]

Hey Strat what the hell is this i'll help im looking and im already confused :S:S

[SomedaySoon]

Hope someone replies soon...

[Strat]

Which one are you on?

[SomedaySoon]

i just started on the frist one starts with wrong, then you have to go down, i can get the the change part then i get confused :S

[Strat]

I've been stuck on this one for two days and I don't remember that one, can you be more specific?

[SomedaySoon]

I PM'd you the link Strat that im stuck on.

[Strat]

I got worried eyewitness...you still there someday?

[SomedaySoon]

yea im here i dont understand. what i got so far is in a spoiler

[spolier]wrong - right - left ???[/spoiler]

[Strat]

The way this puzzle works once you finish a level you can't go backward. Can you paste a picture of it in here?

[SomedaySoon]

spelling got the best of me there it would seem

[Strat]

I remember this one. You have to do what it tells you and follow it down.

The opposite of wrong is right and is five letters. The opposite of right is 4 letters, left...change tense, leaves......the last one is the answer

[SomedaySoon]

yea i gathered that :P , i just couldnt get past the change tense lol thanks

[SomedaySoon]

I PM'd you Strat

[Strat]

sent you a pm back..

big spoiler: wrong, right, left, leaves, come, go, stop..opposite of stop

[Strat]

going to lunch, try to catch up!

[SomedaySoon]

Woooo cheers Strat now this ones confusing lol

[Strat]

Is it the hippos?

[SomedaySoon]

Yea...

[radka222]

Hi U 2
I'm at the hippos too. Got through the first one on my own and thought I'm good
Well, I guess not that good...

[Strat]

What are the hippos in?

[radka222]

But what's with the hint?

"I swear it's him"

[radka222]

is it him...as in Nicolas C.? or is that too far fetched?

[Strat]

I didn't see the connection either...I am starting to think maybe this isn't such a good puzzle

[Strat]

other than the statement being an oath....crates surround the hippos

[radka222]

well, and here i was thinking of cage

[SomedaySoon]

im not actually htinking anything cause my head is killing me lol, but i'll be back later guys keep at it and good luck..

[Strat]

Have a good one, I think I am going to look for a different mental challenge...I don't know about this one

[radka222]

i don't know why they talked so much about logic before the game - this has very little to do with logic

[Tigeress]

i have no idea wot i'm supposed 2 write?!

[radka222]

the second one I got right before looking at the spoiler but what to hell does fret saw mean?

[radka222]

can't they just give me a math problem or something?
these pictures don't make much sense to me

[radka222]

something tells me I should be working on my final thesis rather than doing this...so that's it for me

[Tigeress]

where is everyone?

[Master]

I am stuck on c3! anyone?

[!@Scott@!]

yea for me it says registration has been temporarily suspended...anyone else get this message...???

[Mistery]

Yes, just checked it. They may have problems with it or making updates, whatever. But it should be possible later since it says that this is only a temporary thing.

[haha]

ARgghhh Wots the ansa 2 C3:Stitch-Up ??? :S

[SparkPlug]

Yes, just checked it. They may have problems with it or making updates, whatever. But it should be possible later since it says that this is only a temporary thing.
No problems with the site.

We just needed time to check out how come everyone was solving the first 4 questions instantly.

By all means discuss and help each other, but posting spoilers and answers just ruins it for everyone.

[Samuel]

so when will u be able to register because im still not able to

[Mistery]

Yeah, that's also my question. When I try to register it says:

"Sorry, but registration has been temporarily suspended"

[SparkPlug]

It wont be long.

[Mistery]

Okay, thanks for the information, SparkPlug.

[Samuel]

there we go

[Samuel]

anyone know another tense of left?

[Kira699]

left...past tense
leave...present tense

[Kira699]

stitch-up has me in a quandry.........the picture must be significant as the weaving certainly sucks

[PrincessGwyneth]

Puzzle C3 has me stuck as well. Posted on forum for help. Awaiting response. Any nudges from anyone here?

[Leezeo]

This is a tough one, I don't get the stitched up either, only that there are single threds and u shaped threds? :kuku: :kuku: :kuku:

[PrincessGwyneth]

I've been trying for over two hours. And the clues on the forum only make sense to those who know the answer...I'm going crazy.

[Kasty]

I cannot register, WHY? Pls help!

[Kate]

can someone plz tell me tha answa to the first level i am stuck there

[PrincessGwyneth]

Kate-Follow the directions carefully, each step leads you to a new word, then use that word to find the next one. The number of letters is there to guide you. When you get to the one with ?????'s put that in the box at the bottom. If you need a bigger nudge, lemme know.

[Leezeo]

finally got stitch up, it took forever. now I am on D3 Zenith and Nadir

[radka222]

so, tell us Leezeo ... how?

don't give the answer, just a hint - PLEASE!!!

[radka222]

i seem to be getting somewhere ... the answers I've tried have been used by many people

if somebody would at least tell me wheter I'm even close

I'm COUNTING on your help!!!

[helpme]

Is anyone still here?

[radka222]

i just figured it out - wow it is cool once you do

[radka222]

the best way to get it is going through the other forums and reading every post carefully

if you still need help, i will try to summarize the most important hints

[Kira699]

radka i'm on the right track.........but if you could pm with the answer it would be greatly appreciated......stitch up has me going in circles

[SparkPlug]

radka i'm on the right track.........but if you could pm with the answer it would be greatly appreciated......stitch up has me going in circles
as will the next one... and the next one... and the next one... :evil:

Are you going to rely on being fed answers for all of them ?

[radka222]

i won't give you the answer (not my stile), but...

the mistake I was doing was that I thought every time the thread goes up is ONE, regardless of how many threads of the other color it passes (well it doeas matter how many...)

hope that helps

[Tigeress]

i'm googling everything that i can think of, but i can't find anything.

what is this puzzle asking for?

[Kira699]

Nvm solved it, and yes Radka you were right, the number of threads DOES count. hehehe

[Tigeress]

has it got anything to do with the title

i know i'm bugging you all the time, but what's the answer, if not the asnwer, a reasonable, understandable hint, please.

[radka222]

hey tigeress, welcome back

it does have something to do with the title (a lot actually) - sparkplug said it was originally called TOP stitch - maybe that helps

try to find a code in it

[Tigeress]

i was looking thru the forums and i managed to get past it now.

i'm on D3, but have no idea what the zadith and nadir (or something like that...) means.

I went onto the site, but it was in Japanese, and had stuff on, which i couldn't understand, even when i translated the page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know the answer's staring me in the face, but i can't see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[radka222]

zenith and nadir are from astronomical things but basically ZENITH means streight forward or right up and NADIR is the opposite, antipole of that (so they are like pro and contra, jing and jang, ...) - also took me some time to google it - the japanese site is some clothing line

i'm not doing the puzzle at the moment though - keeps me too much away from the work I SHOULD be doing, so I'll keep it for the evenning

[Tigeress]

i've got the same problem. I'm supposed to be revising and trying to get sum coursework done, but games are WAY TOO distracting.

[unregistered999]

stuck on level c3 stitch up. i can make out "first name of" then the nothing. help? anyone?

[Unregistered999]

blanked out on request by Mistery
i did. nothing comes up... just loads of letters with no meaning :(

[radka222]

what letters do you have?

[Unregistered999]

what letters do you have?
i have mcclotdstaq

[radka222]

you've got 2 letters wrong, the rest is OK (re-count!)

[radka222]

by the way, tigeress, did you get any further on the D3?

[radka222]

i spent some time on it in MS Paint (I can't print right now) - I kept cuting and pasting and moving stuff around but never got anything that made any sense

[Unregistered999]

by the way, tigeress, did you get any further on the D3?
thanks. got ( .... blanked out content by Mistery ) but what's that. googled it but nothing

[Unregistered999]

thanks. got ... but what's that. googled it but nothing
nevermind, i got it. THANKS :))

[SparkPlug]

By all means discuss and help each other, but posting spoilers and answers just ruins it for everyone.
... and will get you banned from the site.

[Sexiidimps]

... and will get you banned from the site.
Hey Sparkplug, any hint's for C1?
I haven't a baldy notion about this one ;)

[tarumi]

no well i dnt think so
if they dnt want you to show spoilers then why do they tell you how to do them?????????

... and will get you banned from the site.

[Mistery]

@ tarumi: SparkPlug refers to the game site and not to GamersHood.

[Sexiidimps]

Hello, could someone please give me a little nudge in the right direction, i feel like i'm being ignored ;(

[tarumi]

............................................. ill shut up lol tee hee i dnt really read the stuff before lol

[radka222]

Hello, could someone please give me a little nudge in the right direction, i feel like i'm being ignored ;(

as somebody at the other forums said - look down (really - bend your head, lower your eyes)

[Tigeress]

nah, i was a bit busy doing some housework, (like i had anything lese to do...), but now that i'm on, i'm beginning to wonder.

[Tigeress]

of all the ppl, it had 2 b me.

honestly, i didn't know giving a hint was a bad thing.

i'm of the puzzle thing now.

looking 4 something else in the meantime.

[Sexiidimps]

hey tigress, did they kick you out? for what?

[Tigeress]

for saying 'the other way round as well', when that person was stuck on the Stitch-up puzzle.

i wasn't even telling the asnwer!!!!

Well, that's life.

[Tigeress]

that they won't put me back on til i delete that post (from Gamershood).

i'm not a member of this site, so it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to delete it.

Bet he/she probably going to say that it's not their problem. i sent a reply to their message, but i'm stilling waiting for what they think of my situation.

pretty long post, now, better stop for the moment and let u (and other people around the world) read it.

[radka222]

that sucks...you know what helps? - do some base jumping (gamershood main page has the link) - I find it very relaxing to smash colorful balls on the ground

Which post is it Tigeress? I can delete it for you if you wish.

[Tigeress]

...better than moaning about a silly, petty puzzle...

by the way, wht's you e-mail, cos i really need some hints.

you can delete it once i get it, if you don't mind.

[Tigeress]

it's the one where it says something like, (......Content deleted by Mistery) or something along those lines.

thanx 4 being a chum...

hee-hee

[radka222]

you didn't post anything at thier site so why do they even bother - besides if people don't want help, they won't read it (we are not babies anymore, we can decide for ourselves) AND you just gave the guy a hint, it doesn't help anybody who does not know how to start in the first place

Am I getting kicked out now too?

[Tigeress]

Sorry if u get kicked out as well, but i was only putting a point forward, (if it was a point putting forward...?)

Besides, it's up to the admin.

they can do what they like, cos they're the boss of their own game, so it's best not to argue...

[Tigeress]

Thanx for that

by the way, my username is not my e-mail, so...

are you on msn?

[radka222]

Thanx for that

by the way, my username is not my e-mail, so...

are you on msn?

yes - same thing

[Tigeress]

okay
thanx

[Mistery]

Okay, now everything should be okay, your post has been deleted.

I also added a warning in the lead post for players so that they know that posting more than small hints (like spoilers and solutions) could end up with being banned from the game site.

[Tigeress]

thank you very much mistery.

brightened my day.

hope i'm back on the site now.

[Tigeress]

still no sign of a reply...

[Tigeress]

hello, anyone home...

[tigeress]

sorry you have lost me - did you get kicked out of their site for posting hints etc or have they read some hints on this site and kicked you off the other site?

Sorry for being nosey - it just all seems rather childish of them

[Kelly]

Ouch....my head!!!! Ouch my eyes!!!! I actually want to go do my housework now. Hubby will be happy :)

[HANFGARN]

hmmm i really need the answer for riddle A1.... i'm danish, and cant figure out the opposite word

[HANFGARN]

DOH got it

[Kelly]

So, you know how with most puzzles you get that 'I'm gonna beat you eventually' feeling and it takes a while but you do... that feeling is a good feeling, feeling challenged but having faith.

This Stitch-up puzzle...it's like that friend you wish you'd never met, the one who steals your boyfriends and your other friends, and your parents (because she gets better grades) and pretty soon she's taken over your whole life, and if you had a zap button you'd do away with her and wipe her from everyone's memory.

The only difference is that with this puzzle, if I zapped it (with the lovely X button at the top of the screen) then I'll be closing the door on the puzzles after it, which might be as fun as the first few and give me that 'I'm gonna beat you eventually' feeling that I so love.

My brain is addled and I'm getting all weird...someone help, first with the puzzle, then with the funding for therapy... :lala:

[radka222]

Kelly - don't worry, it's doable and the actual solution is even more fun than the ones before

Try looking at the forums over there for help

and - if you registered at their site (which I think you must to play this), you can close the window and come back any time

[chavalina]

[gbears_1]

Do U Have Progress??

[Freakshow59]

Do U Have Progress??

[Mistery]

i can log in, but i dont get the "start" option, only ststistics and podum...
Well, sorry I have no idea if this is due to banning or just some technical problems.

[Unregistered999]

Do U Have Progress??
still nothing :( maybe i've been bad, i needed some help earlier today, probably posted too much info then.

[Freakshow59]

I give up with asking for help. . .

[Unregistered999]

[Lucylou]

Sorry, I'm really stuck on C3! Need a big hint!!! I know there's no spoilers allowed, but if anybody can help me, you can message me here or there! thanks!!!

[Kelly]

Me too, still stuck on it, still tearing my hair out and using a negative vocabulary on myself. I'm considering selling my soul for the answer.

[!@Scott@!]

[!@Scott@!]

[!@Scott@!]

o nvm i got it...this one took em awhile too


Mistery: Please don't post spoilers and solutions. Thank you!

[Kelly]

Hi Scott, yes I am, I've now got C3, thanks to forums and a husband that I bullied and bribed ;)

[Kelly]

...some of them make me want to hurt people.Anyone wanna talk about enigmathic?

[panama]

Calm down folks. I'm here to help. I don't agree with Sparkplug thinking he can moderate this thread, but I can hint. I'm currently on E-1, and have kept notes (which is one of my recommendations for any online riddle game). My name is Panama, and my game is to save the world from evil riddle game like this one. I even might need a little help myself. Let's get it!!!

[Kelly]

I'm not sure if I've done E1...what was the name of it? Hi btw, I'm Kelly, nice to meet you!

[panama]

Kelly, your on C-3? I've never seen rules posted on TOP stitch or stitch-up, whatever it's called. I have seen this: everytime a thread goes over another thread, count. Not just L&R, but U&D too. I hope you understand because I'd hate to get kicked off this riddle and reregister under one of my alt. eddresses.

[panama]

E-1 Spotless, for those who haven't seen it yet.

[panama]

Always nice to meet a fellow gamer, Kelly. Are you on any teams (asked the recruiter)?

[panama]

Scott!!! Don't post spoilers, even on this thread! Sparkplug monitors this place along with a few others and will kick you off the riddle. You've got to PM ppl 4 prvcy, know what I mean???

[panama]

Kelly, check your PM for a hint. You're UK and I'm central colonies. -5 GMT. It's late here and I will return tomorrow around your... um, let's see, carry the ozone, add the loaf of bread, round to the nearest..., ummm, somewhere around your 2300 hrs. You've got 4 levels to catch up and I'll be glad to help. For now I'm working on a six sided square.

[Kelly]

I've done spotless...no I'm not on any teams. I'm relatively new to all this :) I'm now on A3: a bit at a time, but it looks too much so I think I should sleep on it, 5:43 am and have 4 little kids to wake up to in 2 hours!

[Kelly]

you've got some levels to catch up on ;)

Out at cinema tomorrow night...will be on at some point though.


Kelly
xxxx

[panama]

Congrats on you achievements! I'll try my best to catch up. I'm most curious about the sequence of levels, but then again, it's just another riddle game.

[052705]

am stuck with stitch-up... help/ hints please...

[panama]

052705, I have to be careful of clues. It always helps to have references close to your computer such as a list that A=1, B=2, C=3, and so. Previous clues say you can COUNT on them. Also, any thread that goes over another thread is a stitch, you can count on that for sure.

[052705]

thanks panama!!!

[chavalina]

finally made stitch-up and start hating zenith and nadir now...lol

[Mae]

finally made c3 and start hating zenith and nadir now...lol
me too. havent even gotten to try out some guesses, nothing makes sense yet.
frustrated...

[the wall breake]

Could somebody please PM me the answer or a hint that practically gives it away?

I have tried all the clues but I can't get it.

[radka222]

Could somebody please PM me the answer or a hint that practically gives it away?

I have tried all the clues but I can't get it.

here is a good hint - read the forums, there has been so much said about this one

and...as somebody suggested at the other forum - be patient
I also had to learn that I'm not gonna solve these puzzles in a few minutes - it takes days sometimes

also - people who actually spent those days don't easily give hints to somebody who wants it here and now

last thing - ppl can get banned for posting hints, so it's better to PM for help

no hard feelings - just a warning

[radka222]

wow - i have to take that back - the next one took me only 10 minutes of thinking (and without reading the forums!!!) - my self confidence is restored for a while

[Kelly]

hiya

Yes I had the same thing, battered and bruised by some of the levels and then one came along where I had a thought, solved it and inputted the answer all with in a minute...so I did my celebratory dance and finally felt worthy again ...until I saw the look on hubby's face...figured out my next move...

*gets out yellow pages...'Ah yes, I'd like to attend your celebratory dance classes'*


;) Kelly ;)
xxxx

[Tigeress]

anyhoo, i was wondering wht i had to do on D3, the one about Zenith and Nadir.

[Mae]

Tigeress, I'm so glad you're back! don't know if you read my apology earlier for getting you banned, it was my mistake. sorry! they were kind enough to let me back in the game, too. no blatant spoilers from me any more!

[Leezeo]

Ok, I am going to scream!!!!!!, I am stuck on Zenith and nadir. I understand how to get the answer, but I can only get the first word or first part of the word, the second part does not compute!! visually it is not a word!!!!!

Help me please

[radka222]

I hate to break it to you Leezeo (I really do - I spent many hour on it myself) but you either get the whole thing right or not at all

if you get only half it's probably not it

[Leezeo]

ok, I really love to hate this game, or is it hate to love it!!!

[innocent84]

Hi everyone,
Anyone wanna help i thought i had B1 but it wasnt right i know what it Is but i dont get how to find the answer PM me help pls

[Leezeo]

ok, am I on the right track? the forum talks about mad magazine. You know the back page. is this correct?

[Leezeo]

Innocent84,

its a rebus, write down what you see and put it together

[radka222]

sorry - i've never had MAD magazine in my hands but the ppl who knew it seemed to get it faster

the hints about using Paint or printing it out and doing Origami are also very helpful

PM me if you need more hints (hate to put them up here and spoil my chances of finishing the puzzle)

[kathy]

any hints for enigmathic?
nevermind

[Leezeo]

Thank you so much radka222. I think i got it now. for two days I have been looking at that one.

[chavalina]

help? please...

i suggest that u print out the page first
seriously, i found that totally necessary

[Ela]

I would love to print it, but I don't own a printing device :(
I tried to copy it to a piece of paper and folding it in hundred different ways
(someone wrote "origami"...), and nothing :(

ur on the right track though...keep folding it and u will find something u didnt seen before

[Ela]

Do I need to cut it somehow or just folding should do?

[chavalina]

folding is enough...i could help a little better if i could pm u...whats ur nickname on the puzzlefiles?

[Mistress Ela]

Same as here :)

[chavalina]

[radioactiverat]

im stuck too :daz:

[radioactiverat]

if you're there

[Dee43]

Any body have any idea what to do with E1. I know all the names. I just don't get what I'm suppose to do with them. I would appreciate a pm if anyone can help me.

[kathy]

hey guys!
you are not supposed to post the numbers,it upsets the puzzle file people.
i think it's ok to use the words but be very careful about posting too much info. you can get banned from the sight(puzzle files not gamershood) for blatant "cheating". this is great fun and believe you me i've needed and still need lots of help but we've got to use pm's and we've got to really help each other by explaining how to get the answer as opposed to giving the answer. i don't know about you but i do get a kick out of getting the answer myself(sometimes with alot of help and instruction) but still not handed to me. of course i'm kicking myself because i'm stuck now and nobodys's going to help me because i sound like nanny.
that said,cocktail sticks anyone?

[Mae]

stuck on a bit at a time...

[kathy]

where? pm me

[Slynge dk]

Hi!

Got here and now I'm stuck. I have 7 of the 8 names and don't know what to do now. Hints, anyone? Thanks.

By the way, I get the connection and don't know whether it's crucial to find the last name...

Sly.

Edit: Got it, was overthinking the whole thing...

[Mae]

kathy, your message box is full. can't pm you.

[kathy]

good morning to you.

[radka222]

hi Kathy - I already asked for help at the other formus but nobody seems to be there yet...could I PM you for help on SPOTLESS?

[Mae]

You can pm me if you like :)

[radka222]

Gee...thanks Mae - it would have taken me ages to make THAT link

[Mae]

yoy're welcome, allthough you did most of the work yourself :)

[radka222]

not that I'm any less stuck now...

[radka222]

it kind of makes me feel less dumb when i'm the 78th person to tipe in a specific answer

however, i would feel even better if it was the right one

[radka222]

i hate actors!!! why do they do that to us?

but i have to say - the puzzle is really clever - i don't think anybody got the right answer right away... but going towards the dead end tought you to rethink other possibilities

[Mae]

i know!! its really clever how some (or all?) have multiple answers. my guess is that they want us to solve more or less all the riddles before getting out .... :)

[crazy mad0]

what do i have to do to solve ??? edit: to solve stitch up if ya dint read title:inv:

[radka222]

crazy mad0:
read previous posts and the forums at puzzlefiles
if they don't give you any clues, ask again - sombody here (me included) will sure help you gladly
and be more specific - answering questions such as "what to do" can get the one who's responding in trouble

[chavalina]

still on a bit at a time....i haaaaaaaaate it!

well, nevermind, ive been staring at read between the lines for 20 minutes now

[bamagera05]

help im stuck on c3.. no1 is puting in anything i can understand

[bamagera05]

any help?

[bamagera05]

got it lol

[Kelly]

Hi everyone,

What a fantastic job spark plug has done, one minute I hate him and hiring a hitman , the next minute I love him and want to bake him cakes and pat his little head!
Frustrating as the Labyrinth is, it's glorious. What I like best is the way it brings people together.
Anyway, that's all, looks like everyone is happy and no one is needing help, which is good because I'm useless at giving clues!
I'm on Not Again, anyone here done that yet?

Kelly
xxxx

[panama]

crazy mado, if your still on C3, read post #178 on page 18 of this thread.

[panama]

Thanks Mae. Got it. Now I'm on A bit at a time.

[radka222]

I totally agree with Kelly. I wanted to give up after the first two puzzles - I thought the system is bad becasue I can hardly do a puzzle without consulting someone and I'm not making progress fast enough. But I'm glad I stayed.
How often was I frustrated with "escape the room" games being over too soon? This is much better (and much more satisfying once you get the right answer) and I hope there are enough puzzles for many days to come.
As for getting ppl together - I love it. A few days back I was helping ppl get over things like "stitch up" and "zenith and nadir". I took a few breaks because of real life work that needed to be done and now the same ppl are helping me.
Great!!!

PS Don't get too much ahead of me - I hate to be left behind alone

[kathy]

radka and kelly i'm with you both. i'm learning so much!
stuck on gatekeepers riddle for now.

[Mae]

me too, kathy. got a thoughtful tip from sparkplug, but i still don't know how to get started.

[kathy]

saw it, but it hasn't helped yet. i love the now you sew fluff clue, it does make you smile.
Kelly i hope you are having a better day.

panama, sparkplug doesn't want people to ue the riddle numbers on public forums, so it would be wise for you to edit and remove them, then hurry up and help us on gatekeepers!

[Mae]

good point! we don't want good riddlers to get banned:)

... like i was on my first day...:/

[butterphish]

I dont know why i am having such a hard time with spotless
:mad: i have read all the suggestions on the official forum i guess i just dont understand if the letters are what the answer is or if they just represent numbers and where can i start to figure out what the exsisting numbers represent i understand that they can be felt and not seen but what is it doing on this 3d shape or is this a 3d shape

[Mae]

letters into numbers into numbes into letters into words;)

[Mae]

##X%?!!
the gatekeeper is gonna get the best of me:(
everybody seems to get it but me :lam:
