Small Strife is a, 60 levels, riddle based game created by SmallTool for EG24. This is the real deal you've been practising for the last four days. No, fancy riddle stuff like exif, source, picture manipulation, url things etc. etc. Just your brain and basic riddle tricks. It will start easy (especially when you played the 4 prequels), but will slowly get harder. Anyway, have a lot of fun with it and help each other a lot in the comments but...Note: Please do not post direct answers, start with hints and after that big hints or even very, very big hints!

I think I see how the = and + are moving around the grid...if I'm not mistaken they wind up in the same spot.
ReplyDeleteOops, nope Xaq they don't end at the same spot.
ReplyDeleteThe patterns are not that hard to find (except for the O one), but the sequences are a bit harder, but they're all things/sequences often used in riddles.
You sure? I've got them going in 2 different directions in 2 different patterns, but the + and the = both wind up on the far right end of the center row no matter how many times I double-check.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm fairly sure I've figured out the X and Triangle movements as well. Square and O are kinda stumping me, though...
Completely misunderstood your comment, Xaq.
ReplyDeleteThought you said they end up at the same point as where they started, sorry :(
But yep you're perfectly right. You got it.
Ah, okay. Good to know I'm on the right track, then.
ReplyDeleteSo, 4 down, 2 to figure out...
Never mind on figuring on the last two. I just started guessing words I could make using the letters I had and completely BSed the answer on my 4th attempt!
ReplyDeleteOn to level 60!
Lol Congrats Xaq :)
ReplyDeleteBut....
Be happy now but not too happy. It (brutefrocing) will backfire. You'll see when you solved level 60 :)
I anticipated on that possibility because my beta-testers told me about that.
level 55 is where I have to quit for now. I simply don't see it. My brains are too tired after a week of riddle torture. I will try again tomorrow.
ReplyDeletenice to see that there are still some people here - i thought everyone would be done and onto the bonus levels by now.
ReplyDeletelvl58: found the first egg, still looking for second .. read all the hints above, not understanding
btw, is it wrong when it asked "who makes the rules, who can help you measure" that i tried "small-tool" as an answer? :)
@small-tool: btw, on lvl58, one of the degree marks is on the letter "S" instead of the number (line 9) - is it a typo or part of puzzle?
ReplyDeleteok, found egg 2, makes more sense
ReplyDeleteI thought you said 60 was easier than 58 and 59, S-T...so how come I'm just as clueless now as I was with 58?
ReplyDeleteI will say, though, *very* cute with the pun the background of the image makes...that's not a clue by any chance, is it?
My head is spinning and my brain is mush, but finally finished! Thanks for a brilliant riddle and a week of fun (aka torture!) It can be done, so don't give up!
ReplyDeleteXaq,
ReplyDelete60 'is' way and way easier 'when' you ignore all the red herrings and things that are there to make you overthink :P
lvl58: ok, tried using the past hints, but im still not getting how the coords and dates lead to letters.
ReplyDeletelvl 56..only two different sequences work with that right? cause the two i used ends up not making sense..or i cant figure the odd letter
ReplyDelete@butterfly, its a Fibonacci sequence (add 2 numbers to make next in sequence)
ReplyDeletethen do math in next line and convert to letters - youll understand the odd one out at that point
Well, I'm apparently not doing a very good job on that, S-T. I'm still overthinking and chasing fish all over the place. :[
ReplyDeleteFirst things first isn't helping, rotting the letters in the pic isn't helping, the pun in the background isn't helping, the hidden text in the pun REALLY isn't helping...
*stomach grumbles from lack of food*
And that DEFINITELY isn't helping.
Lol Xaq, with talking about "First things first isn't helping, rotting the letters" etc. You are defintely overthinking big time :P
ReplyDeleteJust READ!!!
xaq, all you need is in the text, read it very carefully
ReplyDeletelvl58: read and re-read the previous hints, not understanding the comments about the 8 / 10 sizing.
ReplyDeleteas for the tool, does the tick sequence start over each time change, or at some point in the future does the grid become larger than the tool?
need help on level 40, can't figure out what top left symbol is
ReplyDeleteI've looked the text over, and the only thing that's caught my eye is 2 instances of a word appearing twice in a row (one of which isn't grammatically correct).
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good finish to the main part of the riddle, S-T...can't wait to get to the bonus round.
figured out the symbol, now I'm stuck on the first egg
ReplyDelete@pinkgirl: as explained to me, check Red Luth's Riddle Tools for help - image the symbol as if youre arms were out to your sides, holding something
ReplyDeleteunknown, after subtracting one from all the numbers, i get nothing useful lol
ReplyDelete@pinkgirl: go back to the image and look at the layout of the symbols - you should 'feel' excited at this point
ReplyDeleteUnknown,the coords you have must be scaled. for 5° S , 10° E in the present, 5°S x 8 =40/10 = 4°S;
ReplyDelete10°E x 8=80/10= 8°E, so it becomes, 4°S, 8°E when scaled. Do the same math with the other years changing 8 as it expands or contracts
Pinkgirl, parts of the symbol are missing. Have you been on the Red Luth site? There is a code there that will match it if some other " parts" are added.
ReplyDeletenow I need help with the first egg on level 40
ReplyDelete@butterfly, did you convert the numbers to something more 'readable' using simple tools?
ReplyDelete@donas, i think im on the right track. used microsoft excel to draw a beautifully colored graph, but i was not scaling properly, mainly because im not fully understanding where the 8 and 10 came from. trying again - rereading the egg clues again.
pinkgirl, Unknown gave an excellent hint for getting the 2nd egg at 7:47
ReplyDeleteUnknown, the 8 comes from your tool in the 2nd egg, the 10 from the pic in the first egg
ReplyDeletenow stuck on second egg for level 40
ReplyDelete@donas, ok now it makes more sense .. thank you
ReplyDeletefinally got level 40
ReplyDeleteStill not seeing anything in the text aside from the 2 double-words I mentioned earlier.
ReplyDeletexaq, you have the beginning of your answer, now what to add? How to finish?
ReplyDelete@donas, calculated numbers as you explained, found 10 letters in the grid, granny doesnt like them.
ReplyDeletegoing back to an earlier clue, 1014 was supposed to result in b,x which were not two of my letters.
either the grid still wrong, or my understanding of the pick.
Donas: You're saying that the "add to ______" part in the text is what the answer starts with?
ReplyDeleteUnknown, keep it simple with the new coords, °E +°N = letter,
ReplyDeletexaq, no, the double you found starts it, now add ? ?
ReplyDeletestuck on level 43, have seven words and g* w*****, but don't know what to do
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm....nope, not seeing it.
ReplyDeleteCan someone maybe just tell me how many letters I'm looking for in the answer?
Unknown. East letters go ABC. West letters go ZXY as hinted in the egg. North and South do something similar.
ReplyDelete@donas, getting the same list of numbers:
ReplyDeletebased on your comment, if i had a result of 5N 12E (not real calculation on my list) then my letter would be a Q?
@LinR, yeah i suspected that an hour ago, but im glad you clarified it. still trying ...
ReplyDelete@pinkgirl, count the last column, noting where those letters are, and then pick new letters (simple tools)
ReplyDeleteUm, so, 59:
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are crossed and I don't see a single thing, except for the answer to The Case of the Missing Letters.
I'll skip the nudge this time, and ask for a shove in the right direction.
xaq, the double you have and the add ?? part will give you 2 words then don't forget how to finish
ReplyDeleteUnknown, I think Lin's hint will help
The main reason I'm having trouble deciphering that clue is because I've got two doubles; one with a comma in the middle, one without.
ReplyDeleteCandi, try to follow the pattern each symbol makes as it moves from grid to grid, counting in several different ways may help you see familiar number patterns so you can see where the next one should go
ReplyDeletexaq, the double you need has no comma
ReplyDelete*steps back, reads things a little slower, blinks* ...Oh wow. It just hit me in the face like a brick.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donas. Lv 60 complete.
*cracks knuckles* Time for the bonus round.
Well done xaq! Good luck all, late here, so off to bed
ReplyDeletelvl58: im trying .. im really trying .. its supposed to be 10 letters, then show them to granny, right? am i missing something else?
ReplyDeleteWay to go xaq!
ReplyDelete... ... ...Ah. So that's what S-T warned me about earlier. Guess I'm not getting away that easy after all. XP
ReplyDeleteOkay, wow. Compared to about 80% of the riddles up to this point, getting into the bonus levels was easy!
ReplyDelete(Admittedly I used basically the same trick I used to beat Lv 59, so I guess S-T's warning was kinda moot!)
Unknown, Did you remember the ROTten clue? Use the N & S numbers for that and apply to your E & W numbers.
ReplyDeleteI
And then, of course, the simpleness goes away. XP
ReplyDeleteI see the message in the grid, so I know where to start...rolling around on it as per the instructions can get me enough letters if I count stuff I roll over as well as where I stop, but nothing's making anything close to a word so far. Hrmm.
@LinR: with your clue i found my error .. was using the e/w numbers on the n/s numbers. :(
ReplyDeletethank you (and everyone) for the hints
now, on to 59
59: I've gotten a couple of the (easy) shapes.
ReplyDeleteIs the trick really to write out the number sequence and figure out the pattern?
If so.... this might not be pretty....
In any case, I'm going to take my mushy mind to bed.
Candi: 4 of them are fairly easy to figure out. The Circle and the Square stumped me, though, forcing me to just bash my way through with what I had.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, think I'm gonna call it a night. Got some stuff to do tomorrow (mostly involving pigeons and laundry...don't ask), so I may be back at this sometime in the afternoon my time. Maybe something'll click with me by then.
lvl 59:
ReplyDeleteI think I found the + = square and circle ones. + and = give the same result as xaq got, so they are confirmed. square and circle were quite straight forward too unless I got a wrong pattern by luck. Between the square and circle results I got a difference of 1 row and 1 column.
Lvl 55, reading all the hints given I'm not sure got the right words (22) After picking come up with words like a...., r....., d...., g..... etc. but that seems to be wrong. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeletenot sure what your words are but twentytwo should tell you what your looking for and when picking it is no anagram
ReplyDeleteLevel 58..........................
ReplyDeleteShould i really try this one?
I got two pages of hints but my mood thermometer has reached the level of frustration already. Maybe i should do the Robamimi game first to get into a better mood.
Dutchie, for you 3 more to go, so : "houd er de moed maar in "
ReplyDeleteThanks ike, for your encouraging words but "de moed is me reeds in de schoenen gezonken". As small-tool said somewhere, 58 en 59 are the most difficult levels. I will probably need another week to solve them.
ReplyDeleteSo first things first ..........On to the Robamimi;)
dutchie, go ahead with no fear :)
ReplyDeleteI want to sit and riddle, but I'm going to be gone most of the day.
ReplyDeleteSadly, the breadcrumbs on 59 aren't enough :/
I know I have =, I have a hunch for square, but the others are just flat eluding me. (Especially rough when I hear that they're quite easy and straightforward.)
I will not be beaten!
Ok, that was a five star for Robamimi. Now back to this hell as
ReplyDeletelevel 1 indicated.
Thanks PinHead, i will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteCandi, the squares (1-25) can be numbered in several ways. Think left/right up/down.
ReplyDeleteLevel 58: Missing 2 but probably 3 (present?) dates. I have no idea where/what to look for.
ReplyDeletedutchie, which ones?
ReplyDeleteThe coordinates without a reference to people/events."......in the present for a while and just traveled there to 5° S , 10° E and 7,5 S° , 2,5° W." and "........being erased from reality and time at 3,75° N , 2,1875° E". Does Einstein count ?
ReplyDeletedutchie, in which era are we now? ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for 3,75° N , 2,1875° E, you should google that exact phrase with quotes. It is related to fiction with an exact year.
I understand your first hint (how stupid of me) But does 3,75° N , 2,1875° E also has to do with Germanicus? That last part of the sentence i can't find. Google sends me to all kinds of places but nothing seems to fit: Dr. Who; a novel by I.A.; Forgetting pills etc.
ReplyDeleteLevel 59 and I'm going around in circles and squares and zig zags and I'm still not finding the patterns or the sequences. I have the X and the triangle but that's it. Can anybody send me in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteI need help in 41
ReplyDeleteI have a few sentences, but I do not understand how to get the answer, and I've done all roads
LinR, I wish i could help you but i'm stuck on 58.
ReplyDeleteI hope someone can help you but it seems that there are just a few people left.
Hope you make it to the finish.
dutchie, google "leaving the remains of humanity to cower away in the fear of being erased from reality and time". You will find in the related site 2 locations.
ReplyDeleteGermanicus is related to 5° N , 5° E
You should in fact have 10 locations, and hence 10 dates (years), and more specifically 5 pairs of years.
Moreover, all year numbers share some digit(s).
LinR, I have probably all but the triangle and square. Could you shed some light pls?
ReplyDeleteAs for the others, did you assign all 25 squares numbers?
pichi, did you find the main path from start to end? It is an instruction that you have to apply to itself.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but anyway I do not understand
ReplyDeletePinHead, thank you for the hint. As for the triangle, it will certainly put you on Edge and keep you going around in circles, :)
ReplyDeletepichi, were you able to traverse the maze from start to finish?
ReplyDeleteYes, and got several phrases
ReplyDeleteOk done! in 42
ReplyDeleteFor the square on level 59.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember level 18?
Thank you again, PinHead
ReplyDeleteI've finally found it. I had not marked the 'word for word' option in Google. Lesson learned.
Tomorrow I'll continue puzzling about the next steps.
Lvl 43
ReplyDeletemust have count in the last column, but the letters I have are not correct, I don't quite understand that count. I've got 7 words. Anagram also nothing. I saw that the last letters of the words are the same that are in the maze
level 50 I have overlayed the shapes on the grids the first three lines start to spell out a question (thats if I did it right). The last two lines do spell something (2 words) but I am having problems getting the answer when I google those two words. Have I gone wrong somewhere or missed something out.
ReplyDeleteFinished lvl 60. Onto the bonus rounds!
ReplyDeleteBut I don't understand the clue for the X symbol (level 59). 12 letters are needed, 6 of which are the answer to lvl 59. Do I understand correctly that the X symbol alone yields 7 letters (mmsily*)?
I am not sure what is meant by method name. I have keywords for some symbols. Is that it?
juliet, it is a question (in the form of an order) with the last word consisting of 7 letters (French name).
ReplyDeletePinhead,
ReplyDeleteFor the X symbol, if you add all the steps you get a number. That number to alphabet, so only one letter fromt that.
And yep the keywords (for most of them) are the names of the sequences you used.
Well, I'm still getting nowhere on Bonus 1. It say I'm supposed to wind up with 12 letters, but I'm only making 5 moves (6 if you count where I start).
ReplyDeleteDo I count letters I roll over as I move? Or am I just looking at this completely wrong?
Xaq,
ReplyDeleteWhere you start counts as letter too (or in fact, that's two letters, don't forget about the die itself ! ! ).
lvl59: we dealt with patterns for square and = in earlier puzzles. i dont understand pattern for +, even though i know where it ends. as for the others (triangle, x , o), i dont see patterns yet .. still trying though (x seems to swirl, but not certain where next point would land sequence-wise).
ReplyDeleteany other nudges or hints?
Unknown: You're on the right track with X. There's a very simple pattern to how the number of spaces it moves each step increases.
ReplyDeleteAs for Triangle, it's doing something similar to X in terms of directionality. The pattern to how the number of spaces it moves increases isn't as simple, but it's still a very simple one.
AHA! Got it!
ReplyDeleteBonus 1 down, bring on Bonus 2!
*sees it* ... ... ...oh crap.
@xaq: think X is done. still not sure about triangle .. still trying though ..
ReplyDeletemaybe another break will help ..
Well Done Xaq. I wish I could get past 59! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I think I see how to go about the thing in the image on Bonus 2...looks like I'm going to be making at least 12 letters, and I think I can rule a fair chunk of the alphabet out given the looks of things.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't appear to be anything in the text to help...or am I just missing something right under my nose here?
*digs quietly in xaq's recycle bin, looking for discarded notes*
ReplyDeleteUnknown: Were you ever a Transformers fan? I ask because Optimus might be able to help with Triangle's sequence here.
ReplyDeleteXaq,
ReplyDeleteThere is something in the text for sure.
@xaq: you know, i had used that sequence but messed up the 4th digit. i knew there had to be more than meets the eye. :D
ReplyDeletethanks!
are we keeping track of the locations where the symbols land on the last grid, or the letter it lands on?
You'll be needing the letter it lands on in the final grid...speaking of which, you have figured out what letters are IN the final grid, right?
ReplyDelete(If so, don't bother with the rest of this post. If not, read what's in it right now, then take a look at what's in...or rather, NOT in...each of the preceding grids. That should give you a hint.)
@xaq: found that last night before i logged out. repeats over and over, does it not?
ReplyDeleteok, im back to tackle lvl 56 again. i know the sequence, subtracted one from each, and converted using a1 b2 but....nope, still in quicksand
ReplyDeleteY'know, the more I look at this, the more I begin to wonder if I'm supposed to be making letters after all..
ReplyDeleteNothing in the text is standing out to me, though...this one's definitely a riddle worthy of finishing all this up. *scratches head*
@butterfly, think back to the CCCVVVCCCVVV puzzle .. most of your answer should look like one or the other .. pick out the one that doesnt belong, add the one that does like the clue says . then say it out loud .. keep 'looking'
ReplyDeleteXaq,
ReplyDeleteYou are making letters (no anagram, although in the end you have to add a dot in front of the last 3 letters)
The bottom part of the text is not between " and " just for fun.
Back, and finally got 59. (I *really* tried to get the o honestly, but I just don't see it. I had to bf, and I feel a little bad :)
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad Candi, you're doing great.
ReplyDeleteThe O one was very tricky. Completely different than the other 5.
Every second step was not doing a step, but doing something else.
I may have to rethink my "omit some parts of the alphabet" notion from earlier...I'm starting to think the answer can be made with mixed case, because I inadvertently formed the word "step" that way.
ReplyDeleteAm I on the right track with that, S-T?
O_O!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid I just hit an easter egg or did I just win!? (I stumbled across something that led me to a picture.)
Go, go, go Xaq
ReplyDeleteReally almost there now.
That pic is the very last part. When you see what it is (no anagram) go back to the answer box thing and put it there and you're done :)
Okay, bad news, that was an easter egg...
ReplyDeleteGood news?
VICTORYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay, Congrats Xaq, you did it, Kudos :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Xaq. Truly Well Done!!!!
ReplyDelete*physically feels his brain crash as it goes from running full throttle to suddenly having absolutely jack to do*
ReplyDeleteHoo...that was intense, S-T. Nicely done on all of those.
Xaq. Don't come to a full stop. You should try Small Tool's "A Love Story" riddle here on EG24.
ReplyDelete*returns with food, checks to see if anyone needs any help, sees that comment*
ReplyDelete*drops food* I...don't know if I have it in me for another riddle after this one.
...
But what the heck.
That was... well, I can't say I ran across the finish line, but I did crawl like a boss :)
ReplyDelete@s-t: That was the most *insert strong positive and negative adjectives here* puzzle I have ever endured. You, sir, are a Master Riddler and I can only hope to face your work again :-D
I don't know why I get stuck at the simplest of things. What is that special method (Einstein??) for circle that we did not use for the other 5? Is the required 12 letter answer 1 word?
ReplyDeletebtw, the circle goes down every other step. What is the other step?
@pinhead, 12 letter answer?
ReplyDeletelvl59: i come back and look at all the work i put in to this level, only to have the answer staring at me.
ReplyDelete*sigh*
on to lvl60
Unknown, level 60 is very simple if you ignore all the red herrings and read the few related comments above.
ReplyDeleteOnce you get done with this level, you'll understand what I meant by the 12 letter answer, and maybe you can help as well :)
@pinhead, when i re-read the comments, i realized you were past 59, but for some reason i thought your comment was about 59, and i panicked. I was ready to throw all my work away. :D
ReplyDeletesaw the comments to read level 60, and ignore red herrings. small-tool's comment has me a little confused.
diving head first into the puzzle ...
unknown, there are more important comments further down, especially Donas'.
ReplyDelete@pinhead: thank you.
ReplyDeleteknew what to look for, it just wasnt making any since until the last step.
next stop: bonus1
Chapeau to the ones who have made it. I doubt it that i will ever get there.
ReplyDeleteWish i could travel back in time and sneaky watch how smalltool makes level 58.
Off to the zoo now, maybe i get some inspiration there.
unknown, you are at the congratulations level, and this is where I am stuck. My additional 6 letters include 3 vowels. Maybe you can double check.
ReplyDeletedutchie, if you need help just ask.
ReplyDelete@pinhead, i dont have the proper words for + and O, but there are 3v and 1c in the rest of my 6 letters, so i am at loss at the moment. hope this helps you a little.
ReplyDeleteunknown, for square, =, triangle and X I have respectively vccv. What about you?
ReplyDelete@pinhead yes, and those 4 look "well" to me if i translated the clues properly
ReplyDeleteunknown, but you said you had 3v and 1c for these.
ReplyDeleteFor +, square, =, triangle, O and X I have respectively vvcccv.
@pinhead, that was my fault .. its late and my eyes are tired ..
ReplyDeletesorry
unknown, do you have the 6 c/v sequence as i listed above (in order)?
ReplyDelete@pinhead, if i line up my symbols like yours, i have the same pattern for the sq, =, tr, and x as you do, so i think youre good on those. hoping that if you translate above as i mentioned, you can see the 4 letters that go with these symbols.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteunknown, oh...mine (sq, =, tr, and x) are not 'well' at all.
ReplyDeleteunknown, my guess for + is not even, and circle is relative ;)
ReplyDelete@pinhead, xaq's 5:13pm clue helped me with triangle. didnt seem relative to me.
ReplyDelete@pinhead, oops .. guess you caught your typo
ReplyDeleteunknown, 5:13pm is your post and not xaq. Which post exactly?
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, I corrected my post above.
unknown, ok I found xaq's 5:13pm post, and that's correct.
ReplyDelete'uneven sweets breed transformers relatively, you' understand?
ReplyDelete@pinhead, i understand all but breed .. thought it was F******** pattern
ReplyDeletecant get + to show uneven .. retrying ..
ReplyDeleteunkown, F******** is related somehow to breeding.
ReplyDelete+ is very odd.
So do we have 5 matches (except for +)?
then it looks like 5 matches :)
ReplyDeletestill not seeing any words out of the letters though
unknown, for + imagine the grid cells being numbered from 1-25, with the top left being 1, and going down increases by 1. The top cell of the 2nd column would be 6.
ReplyDelete@pinhead, ok that makes sense for +.
ReplyDeletethank you
unknown, but the 12 letter answer still eludes me!
ReplyDeletefor X (the you step) - isnt it the same as the total of grids?
ReplyDeleteunkown, for X add the number of steps that the X travelled in the 6 moves (7 grids). YOU must translate that number to am alphabet letter.
ReplyDeletei can think anymore .. brain went to sleep an hour ago .. now the eyes want sleep .. good luck pinhead and thank you for the added help
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the comments here I guess I should leave it to what I've solved so far. Congratulations to the "finishers" and also to the creators of this enigma.

ReplyDelete@Candi, which granny do you use?
ReplyDeleteAre we looking for a single 12 letter word?
Pinhead,
ReplyDeleteUse this one: http://anagram-solver.net/
And yep a 12 letter word (starting with i)
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@ST, I tried 3 grannies and they could not turn up this word. Only yours did! I had the correct letters all the time!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
@PinHead: I use anagram-solver.net. And, yes, it's a single 12 letter word.
ReplyDeleteBonus 1: I don't get from where the 12 letters come. 6 die rolls give 7 letters if we include the starting point.
ReplyDeleteLevel 58
ReplyDeleteI have the 5 years but no clue what to do next. They have something in common, right? I saw the clue about the 2nd paragraph. Tried several things but got nothing.
dutchie, did you get the 2 egg levels?
ReplyDeletePinhead,
ReplyDeleteThe die already starts at a letter.
And it only rolls 5 times.
So that's 6 letters.
But the die gives you 6 other letters as well ! (not that high in the alphabet).
No i just found the years, don't know what to do next
ReplyDeletedutchie, a map needs what to read it? certainly not a myth, right?
ReplyDeleteDutchie,
ReplyDeleteLook for a synonym for a word in the 2nd paragraph that would go better with the words behind it.
@ST, I have already got the 6 die letters (your hint to xaq)
ReplyDeleteShortest roll is 1 and hence the die value is used for 'news' (your hint to mtatt). As much as I tried, granny revealed nothing.
I have 2 sets (options) of 6 board letters that have 3c/3v (ends with R) and 4c/2v (ends with T).
Pinhead,
ReplyDeleteYou should have only one vowel from the board letters.
It's probably easier to take a die in real life and turn it to see what the shortest way is to get a certain number on top.
Thank you Donas and small-tool. Found an egg.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for a ten letter word, saw the answer ages ago (dumb dumber dumbest).
@ST, Got it!
ReplyDeleteOnto bonus 2 :)
@pinhead, were the letters we worked on earlier the correct letters for the congrats page? i still cant get granny to make a 12 letter word, and ive been using the same link as s-t said
ReplyDeletei was still off on the method for O .. cant wait for the walkthrough so i can see why that letter is the way it is
ReplyDeleteon to next part ...
unknown, I had them all right. The anagram solver(s) were not up to par in this case. To check again, remove the square and get a 'bonus' ;)
ReplyDeleteO's keyword is related to a special method (einsten's relativity) R+1=S
@pinhead, thank you.
ReplyDeleteafter seeing the "bonus", then granny was fine, but the "bonus" explained why my letters were not "well" earlier
its all about that O .. i dont like the O anymore .. i ban it from all future riddles !!!
Way behind on lvl 31. I've read the hints and understand where to look, but I cannot figure what to look at to get the M**** C***. The letters, such as i and l, the punctuation, or what? I've been trying all kinds of things to get the right pieces of the code. Please help!
ReplyDeleteholly, look at the length of the words
ReplyDelete@holly, ignore the paragraph and focus on the larger words at the top
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donas, I thought I tried that but guess not!
ReplyDeleteBonus2: I am trying to get something, but it looks as if what is labelled right is actually to the left of a person facing the lock. Is that so?
ReplyDeleteYeah, reached level 59.
ReplyDelete@pinhead: does it help to have actual dice to tumble around for bonus 1 riddle?
ReplyDeletePinhead, not sure I understand your question, but I think the side labeled left was to the left of the front side.

@unknown, definitely!
ReplyDelete@Donas, to write 5, we need 2 consecutive blanks in the top ring, that is unless I misunderstood the text.
Pinhead,
ReplyDeleteCut the pic in pieces and make a 16 piece string of every ring.
Then move them with the hint in the text.
But it's a circle so a piece that steps out on the right comes back in on the left.
@ST, I did what you described on the PC instead of fiddling with paper. But will the order of the strips be like
ReplyDeleteFRONT RIGHT BACK LEFT
or
LEFT BACK RIGHT FRONT?
Front-Right-Back-Left
ReplyDeleteLinR, you owe me for a bottle of aspirin. I'm trying the Love Story riddle like you suggested, and lv 22 on it is making me want to tear my hair out...more so in that, unlike this one, it's not live anymore so getting any help for it isn't an option for me. :[
ReplyDelete@PinHead: They go in order from top to bottom as shown; take the 2nd one and put it to the right of the 1st, the 3rd to the right of the 2nd, and the 4th to the right of the 3rd with its right side connecting to the 1st.
If nothing else, you can see a smidge of the next section on the far ends of each one; that can help you line it up properly.
