"The Hardest Riddle on the Net"

Re: "The Hardest Riddle on the Net"

For #6 I was unable to find the numbers I needed to translate from ASCII to words that Anon apparently found. I looked in the source and I'm at a total loss as to where he found those numbers and their sequence. I only solved it because he posted the numbers. It was simple after that but I'm still

#7 is like wtf. What type of candy is it?? I didn't even know that it was a photo of a candy wrapper!! lol Plus translating the Dutch or German dealie is proving way too difficult in my mind considering how many online translators there are and none of them are being useful.

The stupid ambient sound effect they keep using is really annoying. Thank God for volume control.

It's a cute game although not really "riddle'esque" in the most literal definition of the word. More like transducing limited info from one form to another. Still thx for the link Moldy ...

Has anyone started the negative numbers yet?

Still on 8. I can't quite figure it out.

I cheated on level 4. Lawlz.

I knew what the code was but I had trouble translating it. I'm hopeless.

Level 5 was easy. I'd like more of that.

LadySilver,

You are a smart woman. Right on! I got to that beach page pretty quick. I went back and am stuck on the Beatles thing (paulisdead??)...

I've thought about the place I got to (beach page) and I think that was either the answer to the 'big riddle,' or a joke (my hints/jokes on this thread make more sense in that context, anyway.) The actual game (going through all steps) is much more challenging.

Thanks =) So the page you are or were stuck on does it have a picture of a stack of papers?

The game is very hard, it takes my mind off of things.

Re: "The Hardest Riddle on the Net"

I did it that way too. It's done right, right?

Right.

Re: "The Hardest Riddle on the Net"

That is correct.

I finally got it to work. Stupid internet browser. Now I'm on level 18 with the piano notes. It's tricky....

highlight: there is an alternate ending for the url in the source code

So far, from my experience (I'm currently on level 20), guessing has not been necessary. In fact, guessing would be useless. When you find the answer, you'll know it. There is a logical path to all the answers.

As for the candy (highlight): you can see the "x" on the wrapper, the color is gold (there's only one candy wrapper with an x in the name that has a gold wrapper that I know of), and the German influence (toolbar, hint in source code) is there for a reason.

The stupid ambient sound effect they keep using is really annoying. Thank God for volume control.

Just push Esc when the window is up, and the sound will turn off.

The riddle part of it is that the guy gives you VERY limited info which seems arbitrary at the beginning. Only when you think about it a little, do the thought processes lead you to the right answer. Also, I like how it makes you think outside of the box.
