This is a riddle game that merges two riddles into one. It's my first riddle so please forgive me if it is too easy!

http://www.freewebs.com/riddleinsideariddle/

PLEASE DO NOT POST ANSWERS!!! IT RUINS THE EXPERIENCE!!! HINTS ARE ALLOWED IN SPOILER TAGS.

THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE SPOILERS ~ (spoiler="title")spoiler text here(/spoiler)
Just replace the brackets with these brackets [ ]


I will try to help as much as possible... :)

Hints for the riddle:

Just look at the sentence closely and join letters together to form a number...

Notice that the hint spells answer as "answere" hm... an extra e? A point in test? Six out of five people? What is so funny about the numbers? It might be a pattern…

As mentioned, you NEED wikipedia... those numbers in brackets look like coordinates... hm... Find the writing system, then find the thing you need to apply those coordinates then translate it.

Some letters are bolded and underlined... hm... how many ? are in between them? What can they stand for? Now that you know it, can you solve the "weird symbols" below to form an understandable answer? Note: It's a word.

Something's hidden in this level that will GREATLY help you to solve the puzzling sequence...

This level should be quite obvious... translate, then transcribe. Note: It's in pairs. The first one's in general, the second one specific.

Hm... I can't really help you on this one... but... there's something very common that isn't there... in fact, there's quite a few in here...

Same as another level... but no "SA" function now...

What's the language? The sentence below says it all. Think of a normal reaction.

This one should be quite straightforward... once you find out what the device is, just search for the online version of the device, follow the instructions in the second picture puzzle and poof! Instant codeword!

What are different about the shapes other than the shape itself? The ___ of ____. Now, link that back to the jumble of %&^%&.

Sorry, you've passed the warm-up levels. You may discuss on this forum,and I will try to help you through replying. Alternatively, you can always PM me. GOOD LUCK! :)

Need extra help? PM me. :)

[yzysg]

Oh yes, I forgot to add that please give feedback so that I can make it better. Anyway, a lot of people are saying that they are stuck on lvl 0... so... here's a hint: The sentence tells you everything. Good Luck! :)

[utkbrent]

Still a little stuck on the start page. Been all over that sentence and still not quite sure what to look for.

[Heoto]

Alrighty then... I made it to level 1... now I'm stuck... not quite sure what the "extra" is referring to... A nudge would be appreciated..
Thanks

[ballad]

im stuck at the begining lol what do i do?

[SkiColorado1616]

yeah, i'm stuck there too

[Tiffy]

Stuck at level 0 too

[Heoto]

it helps if you run the sentence together.......then look closely
hope that helps...

[Tiffy]

Yeah got it thx heoto

But now I'm stuck at Level 1 xD

[Heoto]

No problem Tiffy... still could use some help on 1 though lol...

[Tiffy]

Would like to help you but stuck too ^^
Wondering about what the extra should be.

[NickL2020]

Can I have a clue on 0 Heoto? I'm really bad at these things....

EDIT: Can you give me a clue Tiffy? (since I don't think Heoto is on)

[Tiffy]

it helps if you run the sentence together.......then look closely
hope that helps...

That's what helps me to get Lvl 0

[NickL2020]

NVM! Heoto PMed..... thanks Heoto :D

Does anybody even have any idea what the sentence means lol? Very confusing.....

[Tiffy]

I give up trying to understand what this sentence could mean ;)

But still don't have an idea how to solve this

[NickL2020]

The only thing I noticed is
It says in the last sentence "Six out of Five people." That doesn't make any sense.... extra maybe?

[Tiffy]

I noticed this too but how to get this in an answer for the URL ?

[NickL2020]

I noticed this too but how to get this in an answer for the URL ?
Exactly, it makes no sense....

EDIT: Another thing I noticed is:
Add the number in each sentence.... in the first it says THREE and ONE.... they equal FOUR..... the first number in the second sentence is FOUR..... the second sentence FOUR and ONE equal FIVE.... FIVE is the first number in the third sentence..... then it stops working

I think I'm really far from getting the answer, but it may help....

[Heoto]

obviously the answer isn't so obvious... unless we are digging too deep...

[NickL2020]

obviously the answer isn't so obvious... unless we are digging too deep...
We are, it says it's obvious..... another thing is that answer has an extra "e"

[Tiffy]

after reading your thoughts I looked at it i I noticed many "14" in 3rd and 4th sentence ...
5+9=14
2*7=14
6+5+3=14
But don't think this is helping me

I think it would be helpful if we would know if we're searching for a word or a number ...

[Heoto]

I noticed the extra e aswell, but didn't find any other spelling errors...

[Tiffy]

Spelling mistake in the first sentence ?
three point(s)
missing s ?

[NickL2020]

I noticed the extra e aswell, but didn't find any other spelling errors...
Well, it does say "If I had three point_ in a test...." Point should be plural right?

EDIT: I've gotta go for a little bit....... good luck!

[Heoto]

This is rather frustrating.. I'm getting absolutely nowhere...

[Michael Jackson]

i still can't get level 0!

[Heoto]

Finally got it!!!!! look closely at the sentence...... do the numbers ring a bell???

[utkbrent]

Man that was pretty obvious if you take into account reading the numbers aloud with the misspelled word in the first sentence.

[Heoto]

Yes, it was rather obvious... I was looking too deep....

[utkbrent]

So far on level 2 ive figured out what the japanese and the language are, but not sure what to do with teh numbers in decoding it.

[macncheeserunt]

gr i know what the number is for lvl 1 i just cant figure out the answer that goes in the htm


oops nevermind...guess im a lil hung over and dumb today lol

[utkbrent]

Google the name of the number and write out the numbers in the order they appear in the sentences. Something might be in there that isnt supposed to be. Thats the answer.

EDIT:And for level 2, ive tried every combination of the the 32 possible 5 digit codes for the B***** coding system. None of them work. So im a little stumped on how you do the japanese part with that language.

[macncheeserunt]

im stuck on lvl 2 too... hmm

EDIT: i noticed if you put the equation into google it gives you an answer but its 2 2 digit numbers separated by commas

also i think the writing system we want is Hiragana

[utkbrent]

Im positive thats the writing system too, but i thought the 5 digit code was binary, but i tried every 5-digit binary combination without luck. Not sure whats up.

[NickL2020]

So what exactly are we supposed to do for Level 2?

[utkbrent]

What i thought, which i guess is wrong, was that the numbers in the equation had to do with the hiragana language, and somehow you get a binary number out of that equation, but like i said before, no 5-digit binary combination gets me to the next level. So theres got to be something else to it.


And im not sure how Wikipedia would be a have-to in figuring out what the equation means.

[NickL2020]

How would the numbers have to do with the hiragana language though?

[utkbrent]

Thats what im not sure of, thats all i could make out of using wiki for hirigana, but i dont know what those numbers represent or how they can be decoded to something. Not a sound theory by any means, but like i said, dont know what to do.

[Heoto]

Doesn't look like anyone has made much headway on this one either... I've solved the equation... writing system... not sure how the light "on" refers to any of this though...

[leeanneoz]

hi, stuck on level 1... read previous posts and dont have a clue????
any more hints would be great thanks

[Heoto]

any more hints would be great thanks

reading the numbers outloud should ring a bell for you....

[sap3]

need help how do i play this Riddle game need help to get started

[ozchick]

omg, read all posts, still no closer to understanding the first one, can any1 help plz???????


need help how do i play this Riddle game need help to get started
look at the sentence closely, maybe look at it backwards, does this help?

Oooops sorry for double post

[NickL2020]

omg, read all posts, still no closer to understanding the first one, can any1 help plz???????
Are you stuck on one? Simple when you just read the numbers out loud, and make sure to read point outloud too.... and if that doesn't work, search it in google and you'll figure it out

[yzysg]

Sorry, I was away at school. Yeah, I'm a student. Anyway, I've edited the original posts to add in hints so check out the original posts.

Good luck, there's something fabulous after you complete it!!!

[Dreamybella41]

Is anyone still here?

[yzysg]

Um... yeah... sort of. Why??

[utkbrent]

so, I think were still kind of stuck on lvl 2. Any help as to what we need to do with the the japanese language and that equation. Been looking all over wiki, but not sure what to use with that language in regard to the equation. And i guess the final answer isnt binary, or is not only 5 characters, because i have inputted every 5 digit combination of binary as the answer to no avail.

[yzysg]

utkbrent, have you figured out the writing system? If so, then look at the article. Those bracketed numbers look like coordinates right? (x,y) So, what part of that article can you apply these coordinates on?

[fatal-desire]

i need some help here!!! is my first time with this kind of games, and i have no idea how to start!!! im on the first page, that says "riddle in a riddle" and has the explication above, but dunno how to start! plz some1 help me!!

[yzysg]

Hey fatal-desire. You can read the spoiler for level 0 in the original post, it may help you. For another hint, try joining words together and search for a number. If you still can't get it, PM me. Good Luck! :)

[InRegrds2Myself]

Blah I'm on level seven, somehow I skipped a whole pile of levels when I put what I thought was the answer for Level 1. O.o. But I have no idea what to do with the 7th level. =[.

[yzysg]

Hm... for one thing, you did skip levels, so you did not acquire the "technique" that is used in past levels that will help you in this level. Maybe you should try solving levels in order?

If you're that impatient, maybe you could just move your cursor around and see what you find...

Or right-click. (But that won't do you any good, will it?) :)

[[.Sarah.]]

level 2?

Any help?

I've got the writing system but it doesn't seem to relate to the co-ordinates.

hmm....??

[ilikecheese123]

still stuck on lvl 0, help plz?

[Heoto]

I'm not understanding your note that it's in pairs on level 5?
Thanks

[yzysg]

Sarah, you have to search for the object on the writing system article on wikipedia and apply the coords. to get your 5-digit code. Take note of the postscript on the level.

ilikecheese213, join the words together and see if you can find a number.

Heoto, have you figured out the jumble of letters yet? If so, it should be quite obvious. There are many in one, but you need one in one. So?

[soon19]

I have read all the posts and still cant get lvl 0, can someone please help. I cant seem to get it.

[Heoto]

I have read all the posts and still cant get lvl 0, can someone please help. I cant seem to get it.

Run the sentence together to find what you are looking for...

[soon19]

I still dont see it, maybe I need sleep. lol

[yzysg]

soon19, join the letters of the sentence together. Then search for possible numbers.

[imshy123]

need help on lvl.1 pls... i kinda understand it i just don't know how to put it... or maybe i really just went the wrong direction... help!!!

[soon19]

wow I finally got the answer, I Had right but did it in a different way.

oh wait, I dont think i got it right, cuz the answer i typed put me at lvl 2, and not lvl 1 so i dont think i did it right, but i think i put in lvl 1 answer and that got me to lvl 2, so i still didnt get the answer to lvl 0.

[imshy123]

thx :P

[Heoto]

Wow!! These riddles are awesome.... makes me wish I had some extra brain cells lol... anyway, with the few I have left.. I know what the letters represent and have also noticed that there are a few "extra" .... I have written everything in a different way, alphabetically, numerically, leet etc.... but am no closer to the answer... what am I missing?
Thanks

even came up with a zip code of all things... but that didn't help...

[yzysg]

ok ok soon19, I'll reveal the answer to you in a discreet but not that discreet way:

Your answer is hiddeN IN Eden in the form of a number...

[vanPelt]

i've tried with every shade of that color, but wo any success
is the answer a single word or are there more?

sorry wrong riddle
forget it

[Syrikk]

huh.. if you answer level 1 wrong, you can end up on level 7 O_o

[yzysg]

That's right. (Many ppl have pointed out this mistake before).
