ReplyDeletecan someone just give me the first letter of pw5 please. that might be enough of a push
ReplyDeletepw5? you are still on Q, right?
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeleteRobin, pw5 finally clicked, it's K
ReplyDeletegot it thanks donas
ReplyDeleteHi riddlers, stuck on 2nd egg in Med-XI.
ReplyDeleteI know what it refers to but maths are a problem... Any push ?
@ med xi only had 1 egg there did not maths think pnyraqne naq nqq gur ynfg ahzore sbe fcrpvny qnlf
ReplyDeleteEric, the calendar, the bolds are months and days when you have a date you have to calculate the correct day and see what is special about it
ReplyDeletelvl T - I thought I knew what to do, I got 8 yrggref left, but there's no chance of word out of it, maybe I'm on a wrong track
ReplyDeleteHotaru,
ReplyDeleteDon't forget about the article title and read (one of the last lines) about what to pick.
Got crazy busy yesterday and didn't get much riddling done. Stuck on the 1st egg of med-XI. Don't really know what to do with the numbers.
ReplyDelete@Eric911 - did you figure it out? If so, can you help me?
ReplyDeleteI got lvl T but I don't understand "no news" clue .. :D
ReplyDelete'No news' is not a clue, just a funny title about those scientists discovering nothing new.
ReplyDeleteXXV egg
ReplyDeletefinally have a bit of spare time to continue
still sitting 1 step before finishing - didn't find the other end yet
applied in vain numbers on letters/positions in several ways...
BFS
ReplyDeletethink calendar & special days
Alpha, do the same as you did to find the end you got, but do it on other letters.
ReplyDeletegot it ST - thx - go figure!
ReplyDeletephew!
shall I really continue with the hard path with so little spare time I have...???
(like that I'll be still on it next year...!)
hm.
btw, while looking at the HOFs - nobody finished yet...?! :-o
ReplyDeleteJust go on at your own pace and you won't be on your own. A year from now there will still be people finishing. That's the way ot goes with riddles.
ReplyDeleteNobody in the Hof, No. And there won't be any soon :P
I think the players ahead are at level X.
But very stuck there :P Could use a hint to find other egg.
ReplyDeleteHi, hint for lvl med VI egg please?
ReplyDelete'Rubik's cube'
Dazz, count the colours, then use it to pick letters.
ReplyDeleteI was brave & started the hard path...! :-o
ReplyDeletehard-A
mayhaps I don't have the correct 3 words, as nothing works...
is there sth more we must do with them?
Hard A, using the three words in right order should get you to next level.
ReplyDeletethanks dutchie:)
ReplyDelete@AlphaOmega - I've Googled all the dates, and 2 of them have names (plus another 1 I'm not quite sure about), but the two in December mean nothing to me. Am I barking up the wrong tree? I feel sooo stupid. :/
ReplyDeleteDecided to start the Hard path while I wait for inspiration to hit me on the Medium one. I somehow passed Hard-A and am now totally stuck on Hard-B. I have no idea what to do with the title.
ReplyDeleteBlackFireSong. I only solved that one a short time ago, with help from comments here. Using the hints above, and i dont know which country you are from but the first two are month then day. (i do it d/m/y, so was confused). Check the date..then move forward or backwards with the final number. You may move to a diff month or year or whatever. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThanks, clio!!! I finally got it. Yeah, I figured based on the numbers that it had to be American style dates. I thought the last number wasn't involved at all, since it said "forget about years". Hence my confusion.
ReplyDeleteNot a lot to go on for level U. What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteTotally stuck on XII. The coordinates lead me to the middle of nowhere and nothing relating to that place works. :/ The worst levels are the ones where the hint in the comments is "think basic"... it's so much easier to overcomplicate things!
ReplyDeletestuck on Hard-U as well. Took the '..'out of the two words, and tried 'sounds as'. But that doesn't work so far.
ReplyDeleteMythos, maybe try to read the text under pic a bit differently.
ReplyDeletechecking my notes BlackF.
ReplyDeleteah, yes, google maps is not working, is it?
The numbers indiviually themselves are.
Blackfiresong, maybe use the coordinates in an other way.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Arrie and dutchie! Woo - made it past XII and XIII and now onto XIV :)
ReplyDeletegreat !
ReplyDeleteThe coordinates are working! Just zoom out a bit on Google maps. It brings you to Zouar (a rotten egg).
ReplyDeleteLevel U is about taking an giving.
Stuck on XIV now. I understand that division is involved, but the numbers I get from dividing give me nothing useful...
ReplyDeletelol, it does? Zouar ... gonna try and put it in ..
ReplyDeleteoh, have to open medium again.
yep. Makes me wonder how many eggs I missed !
Haha, I went to have a look at that rotten egg, s-t. I kept trying "Tibesti" myself on XII as that's what Google showed me for those coordinates! Didn't see Zouar on the map.
ReplyDeleteLevel X, do the same with another word to get another key.
ReplyDeleteAh, made it to XV (without finding the egg for XIV, though)! Definitely focus on the "counting" part to solve XIV. Zeros are a red herring!
ReplyDeleteThanks On to V now
ReplyDeleteHard-U.
ReplyDeleteTook the letters from '...' out of the other words, and tried to make combinations. Also with what's not present from the '...' in the other words.
Also worked with first/last letters, all sorts of combo's, but nothing.
I think I need a little more here, please?
And now on to W. What's that easy one doing on the hard path? lol
ReplyDelete@arrie The entire riddle is in the text below the pic. Forget about the pic.
ReplyDeleteI know Mythos :)
ReplyDeleteHard-U.
ReplyDeleteTried keeping all letters, but taking the spaces out and dividing into new words .. nada.
You need to take some letters away and add others.
ReplyDeleteOn W I have been googling Popes for a while, but I haven't come up with anything useful. Can I get a push?
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck on U as well
ReplyDelete@Hotaru First two words give instructions. Last word is what you use the instructions on.
ReplyDeleteMythos, it doesn't really say Popes does it?
ReplyDeleteHard-U.
ReplyDeleteSo ... do divide and create four new words.
Then work with that.
My .. I needed behind the screen-help here. :)
Oh, got it, I was taking one letter too much. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNeed a wee nudge on MED IX
ReplyDeleteColmkilm: Use the numbers on the colour names
ReplyDeleteTY Cee Bee. Had done that but forgot to do it for the answers as well
ReplyDeleteThanks on X now.
ReplyDeletehint on med lvl VII please?
ReplyDeleteDazz Ley, all our HEADS are TALKING to you
ReplyDeleteNot finding any eggs on X. Lots of anagrams there, but no eggs.
ReplyDeleteMythos I am stuck on the egg. I got there by ftf
ReplyDeleteOops, I guess I should say Hard X is where I'm stuck. There are two level X's. lol
ReplyDeleteI am a long way from there, Lol
ReplyDeletehard lvl V - is it a "google" level?
ReplyDeleteI can help with your level X though. You need the sounds the make and then ask granny.
ReplyDelete@Hotaru It doesn't have to be. It was general knowledge for me. You need to find what relates the three things.
ReplyDeletecolmkilm, not following you, sorry?
ReplyDeleteTY Mythos
ReplyDeleteDazz Ley look at my words in CAPS in the previous post and reverse the order
ReplyDeleteGoogle it and the french phrase
ReplyDeletebeen searching for help 100 times, thanks!
ReplyDeleteW is the egg only rotten, or is ir helpful?
ReplyDeleteAnybody had only note "The design of this site is created in the designer Wix.com. Create your site today" and link to site with white screen? Under this note only white screen too.
ReplyDeleteyes Hotaru it is a red herring
ReplyDeleteBlinded by Hard-W I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteA hint please?
Chip,
ReplyDeleteI think that's when the page is not fully loading. It seems Wix is acting up a lot lately. Try to refresh or try another browser. Happens to me too sometims and it seems worse in FireFox and better in Chrome.
Sorry about that, but nothing I can do, it's the free version of Wix and I'm already glad there is something I understand and can make pages with, but it is usually a temporary hiccup.
small-tool, I tried refresh, tried in Chrome, Internet Explorer same problem. I prefer Chrome to other browsers. Thanks for help, I'll try another browsers, if no then hope I'll be able to play your other games))
ReplyDeleteArrie, W is a google level try to find info about names.
ReplyDeletelvl U not getting anything legible, took the '' off the instructions, put them aside, tried adding what was left from '' to both , tried granny and rot what am I missing? a clearer push would help please.
ReplyDeleteRobin maybe you need another T
ReplyDeletetried that too... messed around with them adding the leftover '' and adding what I took from the first to the second and visa versa .. I get S*****, from first and W*** I* S*** on the second.. don't know what step I am missing here....
ReplyDeleteRobin,
ReplyDeleteBasically the instructions say: delete 3 add 3
Maybe you didn't follow instructions it says abg vpr jvgu bhg
ReplyDeletelvl W I'm getting nowhere with the papal names
ReplyDeleteHotaru, frequently popes choose the same names
ReplyDeleteHotaru look to the numbers now
ReplyDeleteHotaru, it's about the numbers behind the names, not in front of them.
ReplyDeleteThinking and thinking back and most of all overthinking but no idea for level Y. Can you please give a hint?
ReplyDeleteHard-W is all about finding the correct wiki-page, and confusing numbers.
ReplyDeleteAnd an egg that tells you what you really need, lol.
Thanks for the help.
Y is what it looks like it is, but in a format you can't use an online cipher/decoder without having to work (using the hints) for it.
ReplyDeleteStill no help on X I see. I've scrambled the letters on the page so many times now that I think my brain is scrambled too. Any hints?
ReplyDeletethere is only 1 true anagram use it in the equation
ReplyDeleteI must need another break... still not coming up with anything that works. I took out the 3 letters vpr and tried to replace with ynf mixing it up and just there, tried ynfgf as just a word and as picking letters.. am I over thinking?
ReplyDeleteRobin, there are 2 words that give instructions and 1 word to use them on (-3 and +3)
ReplyDelete@robin Why vpr and ynf? You just use the letters under the pic.
ReplyDeleteRobin, the first negative tells you to take those letters out of the last word.
ReplyDeleteThe second positive tells you what you should add to the last word.
Then glue them together. No anagram.
Mythos, that's code, using ROT13.
ReplyDeleteRobin the last word is the one you apply everything on.
ReplyDeleteThe first two are the deleting and adding instructions.
Hard W- that is what I've been doing for hours, got the page, counted them, many ways but I only get nonsense letters
ReplyDeleteI s*ck at google lvls
Pop got it, thanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteYAYAY Robin !! Great!
ReplyDeleteHard-W.
ReplyDeleteYou have the wiki page with the papal-ones?
Just look behind the names for the numbers given on the level.
ftf + ana gives you an egg.
@mtatt I've done that more times than I can count. Should I get a word from the equation or do I still need to do something to it after?
ReplyDeletebut there are 10 with 7 after the name only which one is right? do i don't repeat there's no anagram
ReplyDeleteMythos,
ReplyDeleteDo the maths to get a (gibberish)key.
@Hotaru many of them have 7 but only one of them stops at 7.
ReplyDeleteHotaru, I fear you have a wrong page. There is only one with a 7 behind his name.
ReplyDeleteperhaps google 'papal names'.
I first was on a 'popes' page. That was wrong. I repeat ... lol. wrong.
ReplyDeleteok, I got the egg, I would never do it on my own without your help, I just suck at google, which doesn't work the same all over the world and it's not easy to find the same
ReplyDeleteyes, that's a pity... I'm glad you have the all important egg now.
ReplyDeleteSo I did the math several ways and put what I got in a cipher using the four letter key, but I can't get anything meaningful to come out of it.
ReplyDeleteMythos,
ReplyDeleteThere is no 4 letter key!!! There is 4 letter gibberish.
I'm glad too, but sooo exhausted :D
ReplyDeleteyes, on X I understood what is the key.
ReplyDeleteand all of a sudden understood the title.
I was using another one of course .......
But ... what to do with the outcome of the 4 letter gibberish.
(I know I have to wait two more days to get a hint, so feel free to ignore me :-)).
Thanks, finally got a blue egg. I'll see what I can do from here.
ReplyDeleteFind a black egg too (with another word)
ReplyDeletemythos, I have the black one.
ReplyDeleteShall we swap them?
Sounds good to me. lol
ReplyDeleteOK, I've done the same with several different words now and came up with good words in the end, but none of them give eggs. This other word must be harder to find I guess.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it was just much simpler to find than the other one. Black egg now as well. lol
ReplyDeleteI think simpler, cause I still haven't found the blue one yet!
ReplyDeleteAnd no idea what to do with the black and blue eggs. lol
ReplyDelete@arrie If you understand the title, then use that knowledge to change one of the words before doing what you did before.
ReplyDeletemiscalculated with one letter.
ReplyDeleteit doesn't work if you have a letter wrong.
aahh, I like sentences being phrased like that mythos. "to change before doing what you did before". love it.
ReplyDelete(as long as I understand it of course).
Got it. On to Y. Thanks for the help everyone.
ReplyDeleteGot it!
ReplyDeleteHard-Y.
ReplyDeletebefore I start doing this by hand, do I have to read from right to left? Is that what the title is saying?
ah, yes, it is what we have to do.
ReplyDeletegot two eggs on hard X, do they refer back to the lvl?
ReplyDelete@Hotaru No
ReplyDeleteI have to go for a while. On Z now. I'll be back to tackle it later.
ReplyDeleteon W am I adding up the roman numerals on the chart for and answer? cause it isn't working for me lol using the other numbers 6 8 5 12 doesn't work either, I have tried all the web sites and thought this one was it but not getting anywhere...
ReplyDeleteRobin ... noooo, don't add the roman numerals!
ReplyDeleteHard-W.
ReplyDeleteIf you found the correct wikipage (if you're not sure, please scroll up a little) look behind the names and find the numbers given on the level.
Take those names.
ok, found egg on W
ReplyDeletegood! so, if that's 'not allowed', then what is?
ReplyDeleteif anyone is around I need some help on hard X, have added everything I can see getting nothing, could someone tell me if I am close to adding properly..
ReplyDeleteMed-XIV: maths done, previous comments read and applied what you said before but cannot get something with sense.
ReplyDeleteeric, did you do the division? if so count the digits after the decimal and transform them to letters
ReplyDelete@robin: oh man, once again, was overthinking it !
ReplyDeleteI have been doing that quite abit in this puzzle :)
ReplyDelete@robin Your adding won't give you a word. It is a gibberish key to use on something else.
ReplyDeletehard X still finally got the black egg but cant seem to find the infamous blue egg, please leave a hint when you can.
ReplyDelete@robin Do the same thing you did before, but try rearranging first.
ReplyDeletetried that rearranging both upper and lower not coming up with any thing useful
ReplyDeleteok got both eggs... now to actually solve the it..mmmmm
ReplyDeletedon't understand what the eggs mean
ReplyDeleteUse what it says on the egg pages on the eggs themselves. You are done with the main page now.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what they mean especially the black egg... I don't understand it … am I looking for a sentence or phrase?
ReplyDeletepop never mind got it.
ReplyDeleteWell, not getting anywhere on Z and it's bedtime for me. Hopefully, there will be some hints by the time I wake up.
ReplyDeleteI still waiting that "pop" on two eggs for hard X,
ReplyDeletesomehow, I guess it's simple...
Med XIX: read the previous comments but no idea on what to do. Tried several things but leads nowhere at all.
ReplyDeleteEric, just find the V and read in shape of V, no anagram
ReplyDelete@Hotaru: that's what I did but gives only gibberish... Must have done something wrong then.
ReplyDeletewell, it's not a very common word
ReplyDeleteEric911, try a smaller V, top and bottom row are not used.
ReplyDeleteHotaru, hint on black egg is tricky, look carefully at the number, it might not be the number you think it is.
thanks Dutchie!
ReplyDelete@Hotaru/Dutchie: thought I found it...(starting with V*****) but no.
ReplyDeleteEric "V" shape, so it's longer
ReplyDeleteEric911, looks like you have the right part of the V, now continue with left part, read from right to left.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely clueless on AA, can I get a hint please?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how to start lvl Y, I tried to read backwards, tried firsts, lasts, also backwards and of course the cipher, but nothing legible so far
ReplyDeleteY backwards is a good start then take it to a decoder
ReplyDeleteZ still trying to marry them all up
mtatt,I did, using many ciphers, but all the same gibberish
ReplyDeleteHotaru, look for a solver named quipqiup.
ReplyDeletethanks, that works!
ReplyDeleteneed help with MED 12 egg
ReplyDeleteSorry MED XII
ReplyDeleteColmkilm, try to use what got you the egg in a different way
ReplyDeletelvl Z - I see one clue but what with what should I ... no idea
ReplyDeletethe riddles are getting really tought now, it's like climbing Matterhorn!
Hotaru, sounds like you have the right idea, I'd just start at the beginning and keep trying things
ReplyDeleteHotaru, You are going great. Alas, I'm still climbing Smallhorn Med XVI , while you have graduated to scaling the Matterhorn. Good luck to us both.
ReplyDeletegood luck Clio!
ReplyDeletedo I need one for each one
found 15 but not the right ones
on Z do we match them all together or just line by line to see whats left? tried it both ways but not getting anything useful
ReplyDeleteclosest I got to a word was 'snow rugby' but alas that didn't work.. :/
ReplyDeleteZ you need the title then do what 1st word 2nd line is hinting at
ReplyDeleteI did ftf on title, followed that and did what '1st word 2nd line' hinted at, trying to figure out what to visit her with, I tried 1s and 2s of all and of each line and not getting any where thought I was within earshot but nada
ReplyDeleterobin, how many words are in text?
ReplyDeleteWell, at least I have company for the stuck on Z party. lol. I have tried combining words and taking them both to granny, but there seems to be far too many possibilities here. Is this just a guess and check level?
ReplyDeletewords in text dutchie? i counted so i know the answer to that, just not sure how to apply it for an answer, i have lists of singles ands doubles and went to grams with both, all together and line by line but nothing, how do i add that step into the mix?
ReplyDelete@ Mythos may use another one like Andy's Anagrammer
ReplyDeleteAs you probably know small-tool never makes just a guess and check level!
ReplyDeleterobin, try it with 2 words.
ReplyDeletehmm, still seems pretty guess and check to me. :(
ReplyDeleteBut on to AA after trying many different pairings that also give good words.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help though. :)
ReplyDeletewow, thanks never would have got that without help, way overthinking it, dissected it way too much :/ thank you again and onto AA
ReplyDeleteI think I don't understand what to do. I tried to ask granny for each word and than ftf and granny again. But there are more options for each word. So I don't actually understand what kind of "the things from the title" I should go for.
ReplyDelete@Hotaru You need to find 8 words from granny.
ReplyDeleteAlmost 1000 comments!
ReplyDeleteSo new comments will be on the next page.
thanks, with that it was easy, but how should I know what to pair with what? is it hidden somewhere, or just a guess? if so, it is trial and error, cause you may think of many kind of pairs. but maybe I just can't see that clue
ReplyDeleteStill way long behind all of you. Now onto XXII, can only recognize the 6th, will have to google the others.
ReplyDeleteYes, I also thought it was a bit trial and error to find the right pairs, but the correct way is a very simple method of pairing.
