It's "ruby" code that you're supposed to decompile, but I can't get it to work.

Caesars box is a kind of encoding.
You have to put the letters given in a square to read the hidden message.

I need help!!! if you need help on previous levels please tell me!

Sorry, I have still no idea on level 4. I know the solution for the riddle on the top right but I don't quite understand the meaning of the instructions on the lady nor if and how they connect to the solution of the riddle :-(

Kat
05-28-2006, 10:42 PM
Well what's the answer to the riddle? And what's that Ruby Code form link in the source? Anybody know what it is? I went to it and it doesn't make any sense at all.

Can somebody please post the answer for level 1. I know its an anagram but i cant decode it.

Kat
05-29-2006, 02:53 AM
Just type "anagram" into Google and you'll get a bunch of decoders.

If you need it though, the solution is

I can't get past level 3.
I looked up John Conway
typed the #'s corresponding to the grid--didn't work
layed out the alphabet based on the grid--didn't work
even got the hint--"don't let skin color deceive you" ???
any help?

Look at the picture on the left. note the position of the dots. Next find John Conway's game of life and enter the dots on the game board in the same position.

Hang on... it's loaded... ive clicked on some writing stuff on the first screen, now it says inwards-anagram on my adress bar... its titled:unwind me... i think the answer is an anagram of:

I used this link to convert the long sequence of letters and one symbol:

Oh, well it seems to be down for the moment, so you probably have to make it on your own. Look up what caesars box means.
Remember: you are looking for a username and a password. Click on the right shoulder and enter the username and password in the pop up window.

emily3035
05-29-2006, 08:57 PM
the source code gives a hint (a web site)

Mistery
05-29-2006, 09:02 PM
Sorry Emily, I'm probably dumb, but since this is a flash file, I can't look into the source code...

emily3035
05-29-2006, 09:06 PM
in the source code: <!--http://www.atdot.net/yc/compile-->

Mistery
05-29-2006, 09:16 PM
Hehe, I have discovered it - though I would never come to the idea to scroll down and look in the source. Thanks, Emily3035!

Now stuck on the next
it says map it out...

at least!!!!! I have the answer!!!!

it's a two digit number


I have tried every single thing I can think of in that damned decompiler, and nothing seems to work.
entering

answer = "egg"
total = 0
for i in answer.length
total = 265+answer[i]
end


into the compiler gets me

Entering

gets me

i just need the answer to level four i know the riddle in the corner and something about the ruby but don't really understand where to type what.

Skaramuche
06-13-2006, 03:58 AM
For the first one, as always in these sorts of games check the source code (although the hint there is also someplace else obvious). Then think URLs...and also www.wordsmith.org/anagram

I'm stumped on the second, though. I fuond the source hint there, too, but the solution shown there provides gibberish that doens't open the lock...

06-21-2006, 04:02 PM
What about the 4th one?

i cannot figure it out either....i coppied the pic to a picture wiever and all i saw waz 'tell me' written above the answer box....i tried it all...i lightened the pic...flip it..dunno what to do else...i cannot solve the thing she has written on her body...even the source code doesnt help much this time :/

I figured out the solution to puzzle 6, but I can't figure out where to type it in. I've tried just pushing the numbers like a previous poster said, but nothing happens. Is there anything related to sound involved? My computer doesn't have a sound card so I can't hear if there's anything

Can you give a hint for the final completion level? I made it all the way here only to get stumped by what everyone is saying is an obvious answer.

The field is limited to seven characters and I've tried several guesses, but I'm stuck? Any help?

Oh, finally got it...

Just keep in mind the number of levels, number of available spaces, and the fact that flash takes time to put together - everything you see should have a use...including seemingly random characters

Anyone have any hints?

You have to do an iteration using the Game of Life algorithm and translate the dots to the digits/letters in the other grid from left to right and from top to bottom
