ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletelol passerby... tried the obvious (ch***) but no..
ReplyDeleteand if that's the answer one of my letters doesn't match.. Well... gotta go anyway.. (again!)
Bai bai.
woops wrong. Checked it. Word has 6 letters, but one is repeated. One in litterally EVERY link you can access.
ReplyDeleteNini- you have the letters, just double c and anagram.
ReplyDeleteHehee thx 22! But now I REALLY gtg! See u!
ReplyDelete@Nini - How the H*** are you seeing them? I think I see them on the image, but are you using gimp to sharpen? I can't make out diddle squat Ugghhhh!
ReplyDelete@michjean - zoom in on the stamps, one is a bit hard to read. On the other links, the letters are easy to see; just pay attention!
ReplyDeleteI am only supposed to look at the upper two, right?
ReplyDeleteYou're on lvl 21, aren't you? So which upper two?
ReplyDeleteEnter computer, come to ebay page (the only one with "nothing useful"). Then click around on the links, and look for code elements.
Sorry, thought I saw something on the list of other items in the pics. Got it... thanks @passerby.
ReplyDeleteNow 22.
Now 23.
ReplyDeleteHi I'm baaackk!! My little trip to the gym got canceled due technical problems... Soo I'm here and on 23. :)
ReplyDeletetesting
ReplyDeleteonto 24
ReplyDeleteNow must take break to get home in pouring rain and make dinner. BBS
ReplyDeleteI'm back. Hints for 23 now...it is like a triangle puzzle (do one thing, then second, then back to first) to figure out.
ReplyDeleteMust match that famous skit to diamond spots then take notice of uniforms then go back and pick out what you need (and skip merrily to Granma)
At 25 now and it is sleep time. Good Luck All!
ReplyDeletewhat am i missing on 20 can not find the anagram
ReplyDeleteI just started this but it seems I'm stuck on the third level... I know I'm supposed to [SPOILER=]use the brightness and contrast options to find the hidden message[/SPOILER] but either my software is completely horrible for this or im completely useless... any help? please????
ReplyDeleteoops, ignore the spoiler stuffs, i forgot you cant use those here xP
ReplyDeleteGood morning everyone!
ReplyDelete@bigtank I am asking me the same on 20, it seems that everyone passed it within minutes.
@Eriru invert the picture on Gimp and than change only contrast (to about 96), now you should be able to read it clearly.
Good morning around here!
ReplyDelete20: look for doubles!
I must be getting stupid, I don't see anything on 24...
gd morn chipsi and bigtank its us again and all stuck on 20 something to do with the 'attention to detail' will give us a clue for which letter for which word but cant find anything yet tht makes sense :(
ReplyDeletenote tht the journal says 'stop and smell the roses...or oranges maybe'
ReplyDeletethx passerby been stuck on tht for ages on 21
ReplyDeletethanks @passerby, it's so obvious after I knew it! Wondering why the letters didn't jump out and hit me!
ReplyDeletethanks on to 22 now
ReplyDeleteHi guys,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your progress.
But I'm way behind an totally lost on 19.
These are the numbers/prices I have;
75
25
50
90
110
95
115
Are they right? And how do I convert them to letters?
Oops. nvm I got it.
ReplyDeleteHad to use only the first letters of the periodic table and not two.
Should I delete the previous post?
on 23, hi small-tool! Don't think you have to delete it, as Jon said it is an old riddle.
ReplyDeleteHi Chipsi and Bigtank,
ReplyDeleteCould need some help on level 21.
I clicked the links on e-bay but can't find letters or a way to find letters.
On level 21.
ReplyDeleteCan't find dots and dashes on the stamps, are they there too?
for 21, I found the letters in:
ReplyDeleteStamp = number
shipping = number
other listings = number
question link = a vocal, look at the page title
feedback = look for a capital letter
careful link = a vocal in a four letter word
Nvm.
ReplyDeleteI bruteforced the 6th letter and on level 22 now.
not vocal, vowel!!! Sorry
ReplyDeleteAnyone on 24 yet?
ReplyDeleteReally Chipsi, is that the way you did it?
ReplyDeleteI did it with morse code.
Passerby,
ReplyDeleteIt seems Michjean is already on level 25
Any hints on level 22?
Yeah, but Michjean obviously solved 24 in a second, and I don't see anything. Plus I'm actually at work, can't spend toooo long on the riddle.
ReplyDelete22 is easy. Draw letters with the silver coins. Rotate.
Btw I'm new here, and I'm not sure how much detail you guys want in the clues. I can delete posts if they are too precise!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteLol Passerby,
ReplyDeleteAbout the clues I guess it depends on how desperate people are asking.
And for new riddles we should not give away too much, because it's not nice to the maker, but this is an old riddle said Jon.
hey guys im stuck at level 5 tiffany lamp can anyone help?
ReplyDeleteYep small-tool I even didn't see any morse on this level, so I made it more complecated than it was?
ReplyDeleteStuck on 23. found the skip and I know what who what and I don't know mean, but that's all. I looked at the uniforms of the players who stand on this places, took the numbers on it and don't know now what to do. I am not even sure I've choosen the right ones for "what".
Nour,
ReplyDeleteZoom in on the bottom edge of the lamp shade and there you should see letters (in the blue parts I think it was).
@st: ther's no H. Letter btw G and A wrong.
ReplyDelete@nour: zoom in, look at blue.
small-tool your H is a I
ReplyDeleteyes the macklowe gallery i entered the site checked the lamp tried its name and the gallery name and everything but not getting the right answer
ReplyDelete@chipsi: you have it all. Use wiki to know what the names of the players in the skid were. Use numbers on the names in the joke, picking the right letter. What is T. Anagram.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chipsi, got it.
ReplyDeletePasserby, I had to use G and A !?
@nour: you don't have to search outside the picture. Just zoom in on the lamp itself and search for hidden letters in the blue parts.
ReplyDelete@st sorry, misunderstanding. I was just pointing to the fact that your H (between G and A in the picture) was an I.
ReplyDeleteuhhhhhhhhh thanxxx but how do u know these clues?? i mean what lead u to think in this way
ReplyDelete@nour: "pretty colours" (name of the level) + radio broadcast "rhapsody IN BLUE" + journal "lamp has some meaning to it" => you look closely to the blue parts. Zoom in to see them better. Find letters.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm missing a lot on level 23.
ReplyDeleteWhat 'joke'. What is 'skid' and 'skip'?
I know all the names of the players.
Do I have to find out according to their uniforms what number they had in that team and then use those numbers on their names?
@passerby feeling a little bit silly at the moment, the answer is three letters long, right?
ReplyDelete@small-tool find the radio programm on wiki and find out who the players are named on it.
@st: look at broadcast program, google / wiki the name of that program (joke, routine). There, look at the names of the players (first, second base etc.). Use numbers on players t-shirt in the picture to pick the right letter in the names of the guys in the routine (who what etc). First base is Cantu 3, he's Who in the routine, so letter o.
ReplyDelete@ chipsi: one letter per player, so 8 letters.
ReplyDeleteIt's really not complicated once you get it, but I don't know how to explain it better... sorry.
got it, shame on me, didn't realize that there are more players in the programm
ReplyDeleteHurra! So please, please find the way to 24. We obviously need the missing postcard, but I cannot figure out where to look for it. New York was the obvious guess (from broadcast), but nothing there. It's apparently obvious, as the others just flew through it, but I must have become blind or sth!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletesmall-tool your N should be a R
ReplyDelete@st: N is wrong. Use the "I dont give a daRn" version.
ReplyDeleteThanks again guys,
ReplyDeleteGreat teamwork here on EG24.
hm, no idea for 24, how to find the right postcard?
ReplyDeleteStill looking, but I think level 24 is about the missing letters of the alphabet.
ReplyDeletebad bad bad internet connection soooooo long to load pages waiting for coins to load(yawn) getting so irritated :(
ReplyDeleteYep I was right.
ReplyDeleteOn level 25 now.
But have to go soon.
st: nope, they're all there, even x and z. But it is definitely sth with the names...
ReplyDeleteHMmm st explain, pleeeease!
ReplyDeletePasserby,
ReplyDeleteOnly 18 cards and there are 26 letters in the alphabet. So find the missing letters and you find a new place.
(Vancouver is there so, there's no V in the answer, etc.)
NVm got it, THANKS!!!!
ReplyDeleteOn 25 I think there's information in the source.
ReplyDeleteBut no time now, have to go, probably back tonight.
Will stay around a few minutes for level 24, but then I go.
Good luck all.
Great Passerby, now I can go.
ReplyDeleteLike I said; good luck and see you guys later.
I did it three times and got three times different letters, not my day. can anyone check my letters please?
ReplyDeleteEFKLORUY
@ chipsi: eklory right. A and G missing.
ReplyDelete25 seems straight forward; we have to match them in pairs and get the letters where the lines go. Just have to figure out the right pairs...
on 24 nets okie now thank god for tht :)
ReplyDelete26 but got to go soon...
ReplyDeletehmmm got the letters on 24 but dontknow the word is it an actual place?
ReplyDeleteZephyr: K** L**** a famous beach resort in Florida.
ReplyDeleteAnd gone. Leave clues and have fun!!
ReplyDeleteI am for days on 12, stuck on my grid and my letters means nothing :( does someone can read my grid because I am not sure who with who for what :(
ReplyDeleteSilmarwen this is a old riddle, so post your letters and we will check them.
ReplyDeleteHow do I know which of them on 25 are matching together? I'm pretty sure about a few of them, but the rest...?
nisoryaidolni really not sure because some answers was total supposition
ReplyDeleteYour O Y D are wrong should be P T I
ReplyDeleteOk, brief interlude here. On 25: just guess (inter-island resorts together, mexican together, probably chinese together); I think I still had one wrong, but guessed the word from what I had (is a "physical" description of the matches, would also go for oil or stuff that burns).
ReplyDelete26: easy, look at picture names and google.
27: easy, just look at journal. Non-English speakers will need dictionary.

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Chipsi :)
ReplyDeletecould someone please push me in the right direction on 15, have counted everything, what am i missing?
ReplyDeletestill don't get it, my some of my lines go through more than one letter. I have TUSEDHN but no anagram, how many letters does the answer has?
ReplyDelete@chipsi: 11 letters. Done it again - you just have to be precise, and it's not even an anagram, just read the letters one after another in text's order. Island's resorts together, mexicans, chinese, "free", and a couple I don't see the logic. CO********E
ReplyDeleteRobin count the things you see in the picture, every group gives you a letter.
ReplyDeletety @ chipsi, was over thinking it again
ReplyDeletethanks a lot @passerby! on 26
ReplyDeletePb with what I write in level 13 h---er, t-p, u- doesn't work (neither right or left) do I need something else?
ReplyDeleteAhh finally.... I am so sorry that I didn't post anything for level 24. Since this is an older riddle, I should have.
ReplyDeletePosting is iffy right now. My company uses Gmail with GoogleApps and I cannot be on my mail and Blogger at the same time (UGHHH!!)
@SP - first pic is called lowerright so type in upperright.jpg and then the other corners for the left side.
on 26, but am not finding what I can google... have written all pic names down and put them in order by color and/or alpha. do I need elimination instead?
ReplyDelete@michjean - 26 you need the author of a quote. Google the words...
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'll just be dropping in and out, have to work.
@Mich thanks I made some cleaning about cookies and stuff, don't know what happened that work now
ReplyDeleteHi guys,
ReplyDeleteI'm back and having a real hard time to connect the cards on level 25.
I have Mexican, Chinese and Interstate, but can't seem to match the others?
i am stuck on 23 what is the skip?
ReplyDeleteGuy is need help on 12!!!! WTH!!
ReplyDeletethanks @passerby - started with first 3 quotes found and was getting discouraged - must break to send emails
ReplyDelete@SP - YW :)
Nvm. could finally match all the pictures.
ReplyDeleteOn level 26 now.
Bigtank,
ReplyDeleteForget about the skip.
Find out at what position those guys played and look at the pictures to see what number they have.
And then use this site to pick letters;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who's_on_First%3F
hi bigtank check out the site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_on_First%3F ull find all the players with their names
ReplyDeletesmalltool im stuck there too somebody help me with 25 too
@bigtank: it's a skit, not a skip. The skit is the famous comedy routine that you see in the broadcast transcript. Look higher up in comments to get detailed explanations on how to use the text of that routine (use wiki for the complete list of characters) in combination with the picture.
ReplyDelete@nour: 12 is logic. There's nothing more to explain. If you're stuck, post the letters you already have (highlight the numbers in the grid: they'll tell you which letter to take from which word) and we'll correct them.
Nour,
ReplyDeleteWith the information from the text (and a little bit extra information from the note) you have to find out who's giving what to who, when and for what occasion.
When you have it all fill it in the grid below.
And when you highlight the grid, you see numbers. Those numbers are what letter to pick from the name (or toy etc) in that box in the grid.
zephyr29,
ReplyDeleteHere's my drawning, hope you can see it.

ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU small-tool!!! Would not have seen that for quite awhile :)
ReplyDeleteMichjean,
ReplyDeleteIt was an anagram I found with this site;
http://anagram-solver.net/
michjean thnx had all the words but only half of each LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd back. For 28, 1st letter of each line in journal text gives you the method you need to decrypt the text!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Passerby.
ReplyDeleteAnd yep saw that, but the tool from Purple Hell doesn't give me a solution!?
Thanks again s-t! I only had wordsmith from PH. Didn't know about this one. It's bookmarked now.

ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteNvm,
ReplyDeleteI got it, there are spaces between some of them.
No, look at the spaces! 2-3-3 7 3-3 6 2-2 7
ReplyDeleteAnd the first words are "if you are looking"
Any idea about level 29?
ReplyDeleteSt: follow directions given by pictures to move in the grid and find 3 words (and if the directions seem a bit unclear, just follow your intuition and find words in the grid...)
ReplyDeleteThanks again Passerby,
ReplyDeleteBut is every picture a direction or are some pictures about how many steps to take according to the direction of the previous one.
Like the second picture, really don't know what direction it is.
Level 28
ReplyDeleteCan't get PH to give me the cryptogram. I can't install the right plugins. Tried another one, and nothing. Am I looking at this correctly?
Every picture indicates one step, to the next square. Start at top, from black square, first right, then down, then right...
ReplyDeleteMichjean,
ReplyDeleteThis one works;
http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/cryptogram-solver.php
Then I am not going about this correctly. thanks s-t
ReplyDeleteThanks Passerby,
ReplyDeleteOn level 30 now.
Think I'm gonna have a lot of problems with level 30.
ReplyDeleteIt's a rebus, right? or actually four of them.
Got it! Thought only those applied. (Nevermind - I am way overthinking these)LOL
ReplyDeleteon 29
Omg. It's even worse there are 7 of them.
ReplyDeleteHurry up Michjean, my English is not good enough for level 30, need your help.
Sorry, had to leave for a while. Yep, rebuses. All synonyms of exciting (which is the word with the ring); still don't have them all (also non-native speaker...)
ReplyDeleteWell, I found one of them, the one with the eggs and the eye, but it's even worse then I thought it's not only a rebus, but even a rebus with things like 'sounds like'.
ReplyDeleteOn 30 now s-t... and wondering how to start?
ReplyDelete@mich: when you click on certain images, they lead you to a sound rebus. All are synonyms...
ReplyDeletepunch t spike drops (I hate rebus!!) But I'll give it my best shot.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteYou are the best @passerby!!!!!! Hate rebus ALMOST as much as math!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThanks Passerby,
ReplyDeleteYou're unbelievable.
What's your first language?
Your English is really great.
Welcome. Used a synonym dictionary and guessed. German spoken here!
ReplyDeleteOops, wait a minute.
ReplyDeleteI can't get an anagram.
Do I use the first letters of every word?
s-t look at the small #s next to the prices of each item
ReplyDeleteWhat to do with the letters on 31? Tried Granma (haha - always my first choice)
ReplyDeleteDunno. Was thinking bacon because of breakfast in journal, but I cannot make it work...
ReplyDeleteLol Passerby,
ReplyDeleteI also noticed the word 'breakfast?' but why bacon?
And thanks Michjean, for the numbers.
Well, the bacon cipher... breakfast is a common "code word" for that because, well, the American makers of those games eat bacon at breakfast I guess.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course because the bacon cipher works with a combination of bold or italic letters and plain ones. Still, as I said, although I still think it's the right track, I cannot make it work.............
ReplyDeleteThe title is Unconventional Read... perhaps must think that way?
ReplyDeleteIt was bacon indeed. Take the first letters of each line, from A to c(reature) then go on with the last letters of each line, from (sout)h to (hardene)d, all in one string; code them for bacon ((so you get a string of 55 a's and b's), non-bold is a, bold is b, decipher with purple hell version 1, you get a word (for someone who believes things too easily).
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that Bacon cipher.
ReplyDeleteSo, Learned something new. That's a good thing, but the bad thing is I found nothing with it.
Tried to pick the letters from the left side that have (converted) an A on the left with letters from the right that have (converted) an A on the right.
Did the same with B and all other kind of methods like that, but no anagram.
Omg. I didn't refresh, but you got it Passerby.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, kudos.
Gonna try it, although I'm not sure what you mean with bold and non-bold.
So, I'll try to explain this as clearly as I can. You only need the first and last letters of the text, forget about the rest. You get two columns of letters - the first column (aopats...) then the second one (hsnyag...). So you get a string of 55 (I think) letters.
ReplyDeleteThen you have to code them. Plain letters are A, bold ones are B (so the beginning, starting with the first column, is aopats = aabbab..."; the string will end with eysed = babba). So you get a string of 55 a's and b's, that you put into purple hell to get a word.
first and last letters OF EACH LINE of the text obviously...
ReplyDeleteWait a minute.
ReplyDeleteBefore I begin to try it;
One letter is 5 letters (a's b's) right.
So if I decode 55 letters with Bacon I get 275 letters.
Or am I doing something wrong?
what's key for 31. tried just about every word on there (& some journal) but source says basically that not everything is a clue...
ReplyDelete@s-t you'll get 11 letters
ReplyDeleteOh, now I see (I think).
ReplyDeleteYou mean first make A's and B's and then decode back from Bacon.
And with bold you mean the purple letters.
oops! hit enter too soon
ReplyDeletes-t each baconian "word" is 5 characters long (each "word" making up one letter) so you will have 11 letters total from the 55 you start with
yes @s-t the bold are "B" and not bold are "A"
ReplyDeleteand I too learned this new cipher today (is it not wonderful to keep learning new things?)
I've got the 11 letters now, but what kind of decoder do I use to make that a word?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWell, there you go.
ReplyDeleteI had those letters and didn't even see it's an English word.
Thanks.
oops @passerby - I meant level 32 (we just did 31) and your hint was for 30 LOL
ReplyDeleteI do believe the heat is getting to me.... index of 110 today - but very very humid - not good at all :(
Woops, sorry, I'm getting tired. And don't complain - this summer in Europe is like one long November...
ReplyDeleteDon't have a clue for 32. I think I'll leave it for tomorrow. Unless I have some kind of revelation... from you?
There are two extra pictures on level 32 (check the radio).
ReplyDeleteAnd lol Passerby, Michjean is playing all along with us this evening.
And yep rain, rain, rain here in Belgium too.
