Arrogant Bastard's BASTARD Month Riddle Contest

[judyg8or]

Thanks guys!

[Spacechild399]

I take it everyone's given up??

[Joanna]

This is proving to be possibley the hardest riddle I've ever sone and I've worked my way through a fair few! I have never taken so long to get to level 8 before and then been stuck in the same place so long!

[Spacechild399]

Yay! Someone's still here!

[Joanna]

I'm still here, not getting anywhere with it though!

[Fomitopsis]

I'm also still here, but haven't got any closer :(

[Spacechild399]

I'm going through the ideas again....my mind keeps going back to code,code,code...but it's sending me crazy!!! I keep thinking I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't remember where!!!

[Fomitopsis]

This morning, as you drove to work? ;)

[Spacechild399]

No.

[Fomitopsis]

I've tried to use Braille, but no combinations work...

[Joanna]

You're on hoildays in NI already aren't you? You get much longer summer hols than here! Lucky you, it means you have more time to help solve this dreadful level!

[Spacechild399]

Nice idea, anyway!

[Spacechild399]

You're on hoildays in NI already aren't you? You get much longer summer hols than here! Lucky you, it means you have more time to help solve this dreadful level!

Too right!!!

[jack]

Wait, who solved 7?

[Mistery]

The last 12 pages contain no new hints, so new players will have difficulties to find the clues because they have to read through countless pages without any new information. Therefore I suggest that only questions or relevant ideas on the game should be posted. Thank you :-)

[jack]

Can somebody give me a hint for 7 please?

[Mistery]

Write down the letters followed by the number of spaces. Add number of spaces to the letters each to get solution word.

[jack]

Thank you :), Good job Joanna.

Maybe 8 is just a regular cryptogram.

Wasn't there a culture thats written communication was a rope. I have an idea I think might work.

[Spacechild399]

So we're back to square 1, with everybody at the same place again, on a hard riddle.

[Fomitopsis]

Hmm...

I'm currently thinking in terms of light; lightyears, speed of light etc. It's the Traffic lights, the "period of epic proportions", Aztec sunblock.

But, I don't know...

[jack]

Does anybody know the alphabet I'm refering to. I can't remember which culture used it. It looks sort of like this.

|__|__|_|___||_|____|
| | | | || | |

[Spacechild399]

Hmm...

But, I don't know...

Yes, he may not be driving a car, because you can't read while driving. I know this is a stupid idea, but what if he's talking about a light ray going through somewhere?

[Mistery]

@ Jack:
No, I don't think I know it. But I'll try to check.
By the way level 7 was solved by Flipmode.

[jack]

It was used by an ancient civilization and this could easily convert into it. I've used it before in puzzles.

[Spacechild399]

http://udgftp.cencar.udg.mx/serpiente/nahuatl.html
somebody see if they can get that page to work. It isn't working for me and it should be an Aztec alphabet!

[Joanna]

I can't get that to work either I'm afraid!

[Spacechild399]

Awww no!

[Fomitopsis]

If I remember correctly, the Aztecs used glyphs. But I'm no expert, so they might have used an alphabet as well.

[Mistery]

I found this aztec alphabet, is it sth like this you mean Jack?
http://img.groundspeak.com/cache/43988_200.jpg

[Spacechild399]

It was used by an ancient civilization and this could easily convert into it. I've used it before in puzzles.

I can't find any civilisations with that, but there may be some left so I'll keep looking.

[jack]

I found this aztec alphabet, is it sth like this you mean Jack?
http://img.groundspeak.com/cache/43988_200.jpg

No, the one I'm refering to is a vertical line and it has several differently spaced lines shooting out of it. I'm still looking.

Found it, it won't work though. Nevermind.

[Mistery]

This one?
http://www.crystalinks.com/ogam.html

[Spacechild399]

http://www.ancientscripts.com/ws_atoz.html
Could somebody please help me scour this site for that alphabet? Because this has loads of alphabets and it would take me forever.

[Joanna]

I've just been given a massive hint elsewhere! Try focusing on where it says context and then think about changing the file extention!

[Spacechild399]

What?

[Spacechild399]

Is this it, Jack?
http://www.ancientscripts.com/futhark.html
Not the first one you see, keep going down.

[Joanna]

It says something about helping if it was in con-text in the source, we need to change the file extention in the url! I don't have the answer still though, maybe someone will get it now!

[jack]

OK, I see it now.

[Mistery]

It says something about helping if it was in con-text in the source, we need to change the file extention in the url!
I don't have the answer still though, maybe someone will get it now!

Yep, got the egg page. But not sure what to do with it.

[Spacechild399]

Got it!!!
Put .txt at the end!!

EDIT: Damn!! I thought I'd got it first.

[npfan]

Yeah...I figured that out...

[Joanna]

Sorry that was what I was hinting at lol I don't know the answer still I just have the egg page!

I did say I got it from elsewhere npfan and looky you are here!

[jack]

They could be numbers 0-9. Maybe you have to apply that to the first page.

The numbers translate to 514119421, but that didn't work.

[Spacechild399]

What are lo and hi used in? I've definitely seen them before but I don't know where!

[npfan]

probably means like "low" and "high"

[Spacechild399]

I know, but I mean I've them in some scale or something before and I can't remember what the scale is.

[Joanna]

I know I've lost it now, it's reminding me of the game mastermind!!

[jack]

I thought the same thing when I first saw it.

[Spacechild399]

Why aren't there any yellows???? There are now more reds and greens. I'm so confused!

[jack]

If you take out the yellows the number of traffic signals is divisable by four. Somehow we have to apply the text there.

Could it be a variation of the Bacon cipher?

[Spacechild399]

I don't see how, but it's worth a try.

[Spacechild399]

I don't think it is, because the Bacon cipher uses 5 letters + I can't make it work with 4.

[judyg8or]

What about a UV scale of some kind?
UV waves etc??
I've done some googling on it but nothing is clicking...

[Spacechild399]

What about the electromagnetic spectrum???

[Donna]

Hi guys! Seems like no-one has solved this one yet :(

Whilst at work I had a couple of ideas. How about Gamma Rays?
I also found a site which looked rather promising but it's foreign and on PDF. Someone plz take a look here approx page 119 www2.imm.dtu.dk/pubdb/views/edoc_download.php/3393/pdf/imm3393.pdf

[Mistery]

I think the solution will be easier again than we think right now.

[Spacechild399]

I don't understand a word of it!!!

EDIT: I mean the page that Donna talked about.

[judyg8or]

the "lo & hi" remind me of frequency...
and we have a reference to 'rays' and UV
does anyone have a theory on why rays is misspelled??

[Fomitopsis]

Rey is Spanish for king

[Donna]

I don't understand a word of it!!!

EDIT: I mean the page that Donna talked about.

Try looking on page 121 it gives you values eg

GRRR = 011011 RGGR = 001100 and so on


But even so, this is getting rediculous lol

[Spacechild399]

Its because it's "king" in Aztec language, or so jack thinks.

[Spacechild399]

I tried converting everything using the values Donna pointed out, then translating all the 0's and 1's into text (using a binary translator) but got nothing.

[jack]

Try looking on page 121 it gives you values eg

GRRR = 011011 RGGR = 001100 and so on


But even so, this is getting rediculous lol

I tried the binary route when I first got the egg page. It didn't lead me anywhere that I could see.

[Fomitopsis]

I don't understand a word of it!!!

EDIT: I mean the page that Donna talked about.

It's Danish. The title translates to "Security in Z-wave systems".

[Spacechild399]

Thanks!

[Donna]

Oh but I'm upset now :( :( Its doing my head in!

[jack]

Got it. Each set of lights is a number. Use the text to find out which number it is. Yellows denote the start of the next number. :)

[Spacechild399]

What??? How can you use the text that way??

[Mistery]

Is it their order on the egg page because I tried that already though I might have missed sth.

[jack]

Remember my idea of assigning 0-9 to each set of lights in the egg.

[Mistery]

Ah, I did 1-10, lol.

[Spacechild399]

I didn't understand that, please PM me with what you mean.

EDIT: to Jack

Re-EDIT: nvm, i think i know it!

[jack]

Nine is easy, on 10 now.

[Spacechild399]

I got it!!!

[Donna]

Jack I don't understand would you pm me plz?

[jack]

Why is it we give up on our original ideas so fast. This is the second time my first thought was the correct one, and yet I went on to another before I fully explored it.

On 11 now. My PM box is empty now.

[Fomitopsis]

I got it! But it's so irritating. I had this idea one hour ago, but
I had the wrong shift
of numbers/letters

[Spacechild399]

I know it sounds stupid, but I'm stuck on 9!! I'm normally good at logic puzzles, but GRRRRR!!!

[jack]

Pay very very close attention to detail.

On 14 now.

[npfan]

Any hints for 12?

EDIT: stuck on 14

[Donna]

Jack, I'm so emabarrassed, but I'm still struggling wih 9. I PMed you some numbers. Can you take look? Am I looking for a 6 letter word?

[jack]

Its not a word I've ever heard of. I didn't get your PM.

Oops I was thinking of 8. NVM

[npfan]

The answer is a number, but don't be fooled!

[Donna]

Weird Jack as it was in my sent box. I've PMed you again wih what I have.

[Fomitopsis]

I'm also stuck at stage 9...

[jack]

Follow Npfans advice, trust your instincts.

[Samuel]

wow i can not believe how easy level 7 was.

[npfan]

Any hints for 15?

[jack]

How about a hint for 14

[Donna]

Phew finally done. Thanks Jack for the shove I had my numbers numbered wrong! Onto 9 at last :)

[npfan]

Can you SEE it? no, you can't

[Samuel]

any help for 8? ive looked back through the thread, ive got the egg page and have no idea how to "assign it a value between 0-9"

nvm i thnk i figured it out

nope i didnt is there something i have to do with the numbers once i get them? or are they the answer?

[jack]

I still can't get 14.

[Spacechild399]

I can't get 9, please help, there are no numbers!!

[jack]

I bet you already answered the question correctly spacechild. ;)

Theres only 5 possible answers, how could you not get it. Pay attention.

[Spacechild399]

What!!!!????

[Samuel]

do you actually have to do the riddle? ive done it before, dont remember the answer, and it took me awhile.

oh i got it, spacechild PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION

lol now i dont know what to do though
nvm onto 11

[jack]

Hurry up to 14 before I throw my computer out the window. :pcsmasher

[Spacechild399]

That was confusing!! I noticed it said good job, instead of nice try about 5 mins ago, just didn't think about it!

[Samuel]

hey dont give it away, edit your post

any hints for 11? i supposedely dont need any hints but, i think i do

[Spacechild399]

Ok, now stuck on 11!!

EDIT: nvm, got it

[Spacechild399]

Jack, don't throw your pc out the window, I'm coming!!!

[_becca_]

someone please pm with hints on 8...i got the numbers, then what?!?!

[Samuel]

mind passing a hint my way spacechild?

[Spacechild399]

PM'd you, Samuel.

[Samuel]

thanks spacechild i hadnt even taken a second look at the pic

[Spacechild399]

Help with 13?? Please!

[Samuel]

[Spacechild399]

I've PM'd you, Samuel.

[Spacechild399]

Please help on 13, Jack!!

[_becca_]

[jack]

Thanks npfan, I'm on 15 now.

[Samuel]

thanks again spacechild, 12 was so obvious

[Spacechild399]

Someone help, on 13, PLEASE!!!!!

[Samuel]

as it says you dont need any math skills, like none, a five year old could get this one.

just read the digits one at a time ;)

[Spacechild399]

I know about it, but the answer i get doesn't work. Someone PM me!

[_becca_]

so i got 9, but its the page that usually says nice try! but it says good job! at the top. where do i go from here?

[hunniebee]

will someone plz help me with the traffic light one?

[Spacechild399]

so i got 9, but its the page that usually says nice try! but it says good job! at the top. where do i go from here?

source

[jack]

Please help on 13, Jack!!

Google :)

[_becca_]

i sent you a pm hunniebee

[_becca_]

but the title is good job!...right? how do i continue?

[Donna]

I need a shove on 11. I can't think of the right word . (The run away one)

[Spacechild399]

I just PM'd you, Donna.

[_becca_]

i got 11 all by myself! woo hoo! :)

[Donna]

I just PM'd you, Donna.

I haven't got it.

[_becca_]

wow, 12 was easy! on to stage 13~ :)

[judyg8or]

Got it. Each set of lights is a number. Use the text to find out which number it is. Yellows denote the start of the next number. :)
I think I am too dumb for this puzzle--
even with Jack's hint above my answers don't work :/

I think my problem lies in the series of 8 lights between yellow...
I have tried entering those as 2 digit numbers and as a single number (the two values added) but either way I take a train ride!

[jack]

PM me what you have Judy.

[_becca_]

13 though...hmm anyone else on 13?

[jack]

For 13 google is all you need.

[Spacechild399]

What do you search for??? Please help me, so I can help you on 15!

[judyg8or]

Ah missed a step once again! Thanks spacechild & Jack!

[_becca_]

For 13 google is all you need.

what? lol sorry, i know i'll probably kick myself when i get it.

any other hints? :pri:

[Flipmode]

Wow, do any of you sleep? Whoever came up with changing the end of the filename onn 8 - good move.


For #8 for anybody else that comes along, the answer is an actual word just a very obscure one. So if you come up with something funny looking, try it!

[Samuel]

hmmmm still on 14, does it involve sound, cause i dont have sound on this computer

[Spacechild399]

Yes!! Got 13!!

[0_0]

Hi. I'm stuck on Stage 7. I have: the letters paired with the # of spaces after each. I have no idea what to do with them. :thk:

[jack]

hmmmm still on 14, does it involve sound, cause i dont have sound on this computer

No, and did you get the pager I sent you on the other forum?

[Samuel]

yeah, thats why i though it might involve sound, or something else, im looking for a converter, im not even sure one exists for what im trying though

[jack]

What does the button say? How could that apply to the clue I gave you.

[Samuel]

yep i definitely know what to do, but as i said above, a converter is the problem

[Spacechild399]

No, and did you get the pager I sent you on the other forum?

Could you send me that pager please. Thanks!

[Donna]

Well I've just got on to #15 and gonna take a break now. Laters all.

[jack]

PM me what you are thinking of. I want to make sure you are following my clues correctly.

[_becca_]

finally! 13 was going to kill me! thanks jack:)

[judyg8or]

Not sure what to google for 13 :/

[Spacechild399]

I don't have a clue about 14!

[_becca_]

Could you send me that pager please. Thanks!

me too!

[0_0]

Hey people! I am stuck @ Stage 7. I've read every post thru page 79, but am still stuck with my list of alphanumeric pairs. How are they used?

EDIT: If I'd only read 3 more pages, I would've seen post #819 on page 82.

[Samuel]

Not sure what to google for 13 :/
has no one seen this pattern before? if you think about it, you should be able to figure it out. read the numbers ONE DIGIT AT A TIME, and you'll notice that each number is related somehow to the number under it. not mathematically though

[Spacechild399]

Hey people! I am stuck @ Stage 7. I've read every post thru page 79, but am still stuck with my list of alphanumeric pairs. How are they used?

Ive PM'd you.

[Samuel]

thanks jack, onto 15. i was thinking a bit too hard there

[Spacechild399]

I still don't get it, sorry.

[judyg8or]

me either..
is it
braille??

[jack]

Your idea is right becca.

[_becca_]

on to 15, but i hafta go to work, i'll catch up later! leave some good clues for me! :-)

[Spacechild399]

What idea would that have been?

[Spacechild399]

Help!!!GRRRR

[jack]

Think about it, its something youve heard of. You would have to be blind not to get it. (or not)

[Donna]

I'm back I can't keep away. I have an hour more play time :)

[0_0]

Ive PM'd you.
Thank you. :leb: So you continue in the alphabet the number of spaces that follow each example letter to find the real letters in the word. What a nifty twist on ciphering.

[hunniebee]

i totally just give up. i'm still stuck on 8. I hate this thing. bye guys thanks for the help!

[judyg8or]

Think about it, its something youve heard of. You would have to be blind not to get it.
That is what I asked before...is it braille?
But how can I convert what is in the pic to that??

NVM got it :D

[pinkywinky]

can someone help me witht he first one the one wiht all, the numbers ive tried typign gross into google but i cant see ne answer

[Spacechild399]

I'm on 15!

[judyg8or]

me too spacechild :D
now to figure it out!

[pinkywinky]

somreone pm me the answer please to the first one with all those numbers please?

[Spacechild399]

Just PM'd you.

[jack]

Work it out, its a rebus.

[Spacechild399]

Jack, any luck with 15?

[jack]

Beyond trying to come up with a possible connection to level 3 no.

[pinkywinky]

thanx

[Spacechild399]

15 sounds a bit like a quote.

[judyg8or]

isn't 15 a
haiku?

[jack]

Yes, it is. I tried that already though.

[judyg8or]

yeah me too--or I wouldn't have posted the name...I still think it applies somehow though--
fishy is in red for a reason....
no idea what though

[jack]

I tried redherring as an answer too.

[Donna]

I tried redherring as an answer too.

Me too! Would have been the perfect (but too easy) answer.

[Spacechild399]

Me too! Would have been the perfect (but too easy) answer.

Same here! But I agree with the importance of the haiku.

[Spacechild399]

The haiku is important because it has to be 5 syllables, then 7, then 5.... exactly what this is....coincedence? I think not!

[Donna]

Hasn't the 2nd line got 8 syllables??

[Spacechild399]

Hasn't the 2nd line got 8 syllables??

No:- Can't-you-un-der-stand-eve-ry = 7.

[Donna]

Ohh my bad. I thought the last word was 3 durrrr lol

[Spacechild399]

No problem!

[Spacechild399]

What does the clue in the source mean - "Look between the lines"??

[jack]

I just tried the middle syllables of each line as the answer, but it didn't work.

othderhere

And it says within, not between. That could mean something totally different.

[Donna]

Could it be one of those puzzles where

some letters are darker than others?

I've looked in paint and it seems like it but I had trouble on the last puzzle like it.

[jack]

It's not, I tried about every technique I know with pictures.

[Spacechild399]

We have to think of something to do with poetry as an answer as it says on the button, poetry to my ears.

[pinkywinky]

ne1 help with the jus1t4i4ce one pleasse? i cant figure out the rebus or whatever it is?

[Donna]

I'll PM you pinky

[pinkywinky]

kk thanx

[Spacechild399]

Also, try http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/braint3.htm

[jack]

We have to think of something to do with poetry as an answer as it says on the button, poetry to my ears.

I've been trying alternate spellings of haiku, similar to level three. Hasn't worked yet.

[Donna]

Definitely gotta go now. I'll be back!

[Spacechild399]

I think it may be something to do with putting some of the syllables from each line together.

:yeahcool:EDIT: I just realised I'm the 1000th post! Yayyy!

[jack]

The ones in the middle of each line don't work, I didn't try any other ones though.

[Samuel]

anyone get 15?

[Spacechild399]

No, not so far. :(

[pinkywinky]

ne1 help wiht the fish one? hints? please?

[Samuel]

if this one is referring to level 3, im screwed as level 3, was the one level i never fully understood

[jack]

PMed you Sammy

[Spacechild399]

Right, I need a break. I'll be back later, hopefully you'll make some progress. Bye!

[pinkywinky]

can soem oen pm me the answer to three then?

[pinkywinky]

please?

[Spacechild399]

I'm back! Anyone got it yet??

[jack]

Nope, I've been trying variations of the same idea without any luck.

[Samuel]

yes, i have also adopted this idea of yours

[0_0]

can soem oen pm me the answer to three then?
Cannot give you the answer, but here is a hint. F-I-SH what parts of LAUgh, WoMEN, and NAtiON make the sounds for those parts of F-I-SH?

[judyg8or]

on 15 I have also tried to find
a sound file of some sort tried
the url as it is
fishy
and
haiku
with extensions
mp3
mid
and
midi
nothing - but maybe I am using the wrong words/extensions
can anyone think of any ooo I just did lol
ok--.wav doesn't work with any of the above either...
can anyone think of any other words to use for a sound file??


also--
whats with the five dots before fishy?

[Spacechild399]

I noticed the dots as well, maybe it's a 5-letter word before fishy. The name of a poem or something??

[0_0]

OK, I can't see the forest for the trees. I tried about a dozen synonyms of "run away" and none have worked Any hint will help. :thk:

[judyg8or]

OK, I can't see the forest for the trees. I tried about a dozen synonyms of "run away" and none have worked Any hint will help. :thk:
Save the pic to your drive and try to shed some light on it ;)

[Spacechild399]

OK, I can't see the forest for the trees. I tried about a dozen synonyms of "run away" and none have worked Any hint will help. :thk:

I've just PM'd you.

[Spacechild399]

Anyone got any further with 15??

[0_0]

Save the pic to your drive and try to shed some light on it ;)
Thank You. I "Pictured It" and "I saw the light"! :au:

[judyg8or]

No
But I am beginning to think the whole poetry/haiku is a red herring
and that the real clues are
Do you need help?
And look within the lines

I also think this has something to do with Level 3
because of
the name of the pic, the word fish
and this from Level 3 source:



You Never Can Tell, what information you may need.

[0_0]

It would be too much to assume that 12 would be like 11. I waded through the posts to see if anyone else got stuck here, but everyone is PMing instead of posting hints. A little push please, anyone?

[judyg8or]

Which one was 12??

[0_0]

Which one was 12??
Darkness. A black square. :au:

[0_0]

i totally just give up. i'm still stuck on 8. I hate this thing. bye guys thanks for the help!
I know these puzzles can be frustrating, but don't give up. :au: Use the list from the "egg" page and number them 0-9. Think of the yellow dots as commas. Now using the numbered list, translate the lights to a string of #s. Apply the numbers to the alphabet. If you missed this post, I also PMed this to you.

[judyg8or]

Look at the url & the hint in the source--and help the guy out :)
PM me if you need additional help--
its kinda hard to give hints on this one

D'oh. I had the right answer, but I was trying to put it in the URL.
It's hard when they are so obvious. :pauk: I tend to overthink things.

[0_0]

I am looking at 14 and I do not "feel it" (as the button says). I tried translating the binary, but am pretty sure that has nothing to do with the solution. I could be wrong, though. Hmm.... :thk:

[Samuel]

has anyone got 15 yet?

[jack]

Alright I'm trying something new here. Maybe this is the last level or the next one is and we have to put where we want to go as the answer. The word in red is close to the word finish.

The last dot before the fish may be a different color than the rest too, I'm not positive though.

[_becca_]

are we still on 15?!?! good, i just got home from work, i was thinking about it all day.

[_becca_]

i was thinking haiku as well, but isnt the second line 8 syllables?

[_becca_]

anyone figured it out yet?

[Flipmode]

Just started #9, what do I need to do? solve the logic puzzle or something else? I'm looking for a number as the answer??

THANKS!!

[_becca_]

which was 9?

which was 9?

Sorry, it was the logic puzzle with people that live in houses, drink beverages, smoke, cigars, have pets. What house number does the fish
owner live in is the question.

its a number


good try! check the source

cant even get the first one ahhhh
i know where the numbers are from!! but cannot anagram the right word???
ahhhh ;(

[_becca_]

so...i was thinking...stage 3 is titled: "much ado about fish" right?

well it says it sounds fishy also

AND the source says "You Never Can Tell, what information you may need"

well, stage 14 is asking for poetry... much ado about nothing is a shakespere play on a "stage" maybe its asking to read within the lines of the play??

or maybe i'm going nowhere with this....just an idea!

Not much in the source code. What do I need to be doing?? Do I need to solve the logic puzzle or not?

[Flipmode]

does anyone know how many stages there are???


I'd say 20 since number 11 started as 2ndhalf/filename.htm

[_becca_]

[Flipmode]

thank goodness! almost there!

hey what stage are you on?

just started on 14 with the green and blue picture with binary in it.
NOt sure where I'm going to go with it yet.

[Flipmode]

I just started number 15 myself, there are so many possible ways to look at it that I'm just trying to get started.

What is significant?

-looking between the lines
-fishy is in red
-title is: not another one
-submit button mentions ears and poetry.

stumper

The haiku says, "Look another stage!" how about a theater stage
" Can't you understand every clue played here" a mystery play
"fishy" -who knows

the source says look between the lines - like lines in a play?
that's poetry to my ears? they do poems in plays right!!?

Thats what I'm thinking about.

[_becca_]

have you gotten anywhere with 15???
its stumped me allll day
