Very annoying riddle game

rgiller

I've done ones like this before, but never as annoying. I don't think it's been posted here already:

seanybiker

ill do that when im on computer. Try the not pron one thats bloody impossible. Viridian room and crimson room are good also

GhostInTheRuins

What level have you got to so far rg?

By the way Sean, I need to pay you back those points

hamsterboy

How do you start this.
All I have are the rules and then it says "When you're ready to start, off you go..." but doesn't tell me how to start.
There's no question on the page so I don't have to answer anything......or do I?

I'm only on level 6 at the moment. Just started today. I reckon it's going to give me plenty of headwrecking hours over the next few weeks. But it's one of those quizzes that you can't give up on...

To get you started the answer for level 1 is

youranswer

Enjoy!

hamsterboy

D'oh!!!!
Cheers

I've done that too but when I enter in the answer

twoletters

it doesn't work. I've also tried

rh (from red herring)

and various other combinations. Grrrrr >.<

This quiz isn't clever, it's ridiculously cryptic and very, VERY annoying

Shivers26

When I highlighted the screen I copped the answer for level 6 but then I got stuck on level 7....... very frustrating!!

jobucks

on level 7 aswell... can't get my head around it. Was able to get level 6 as soon as I highlighted the page...

Say the word on the screen VER-Y SLOW-LY (and thenprepare yourself for level seven - it's a bitch!!)

jobucks

I've tried saving the pic and zooming in on it as clue says look VERY closely but can't find anything

Shivers26

Em...hint for level 7???

hamsterboy

The trick is to REALLY ZOOM!!!!

Anyone any help for 10?

HB

Shivers26

Let me know when you get to 10.....it's drivin me homicidal!!


HB

Shivers26

Something a bit weird, when I put in my answer for level 9, I skipped on to level 29. Is this supposed to happen?

hamsterboy

No
You guessed wrong and got the answer to another later question
If you wanna go back, post the question and I'll PM you the answer or put out a hint

Hi HB, zooming in and out like a mad thing for the last hour and looks like

sea

but have tried that and its not... can't make it out at all

Shivers26

Hmmmm.... I thought I was just a genius or something (a fish hating genius now)...lol

Then you're looking at the wrong part of the pic.
Zoom to about 400% and scan again

I got 7 quite quickly after copying the picture and pasting it into MS paint. Try

top 1/3 of the picture for the answer

Eight and nine are quite quick to get through too. Now onto ten...

jobucks

used a different prog, zoomed in had another look around and found it... thank god head was wrecked from it:D

10 will wreck your head, as its still wrecking mine.........

yom 1

Got 10 there

Its a case of matching the numbers to the letters so that the numbers add to the words - highlight all aswell!

Any help on 11???

Have done this but so far I only have

0=R
1=E
3=N
8=F
9=U

Therefore 123456 + 529954 = 653410
and 653410 = 65N4ER ??????
Am I missing other numbers?

Yes - you can work our every number from the "sums" listed. You should be able to work out O and W from the first one. EG -

N+N= ( and you already know what N is....)

11 is easy, am trying 12 now

Exactly. I found that once you're through the first 6-7 levels, it gets a bit easier. I'm up to 16 now

Then gimme a hint for 12! Have tried every combination I can think of

Look at the source code. I do this on most levels as there's usually some hint in there

jobucks

took me ages to get #7, now I'm stuck on # 10...

hamsterboy

WoO Hoo
Level 19......and stuck as a big stuck thing

HB

jobucks

wooo woo #11:)

jobucks

hamsterboy

Which one is 13 and clue for 16 please!

pf85

Still cant figure out #11.. Any clues? I know it has something to do with:

10+101+1010

rgiller

11:

it's binary

13:

Check the tab of the window and the page has the google logo

16:

this is a bitch alright. notice that Sb is in bold and the tab says number 51

19:

this is ridiculous - I looked on another forum for hints with this. Basically, the lines are grouped in twos. First two lines are z and 1z. The second line of the group describes the first line - i.e. there is 1 letter z - 1z. Lines 3 and 4 are a group and that should help you figure out what line 6 should be from line 5

jobucks

Got 13 thanks guys, onto 16 now..

jimbling

right lads, I'm on 13, and I know it should be ridiculously easy but for some reason I can't get it.

I have tried the names and heights (both feet and meters) of all the tallest mountains depending on the method of measurement.... nothings working... please help me!!!!

Dont be too interested in exact heights and measurements- focus more on the name..

It's not really one of the more obvious ones. Just remember: search is your friend.
