Textbook for Riddle
Text Book for Riddles is another challenging brain teaser riddle game created by Boke. This is a simple online riddle game. There are 54 + 11 levels. A purpose of this textbook is to introduce "riddle game" into the people who want to begin it. So this is pretty easy. I prepared exams at the chapter ends for the people who want harder ones though you can skip those exams. I think the last one is really hard. Good luck and have fun!The rules are simple:
1. Replace the answer on the URL. For example, answer.htm (There are few exceptions.)
2. The answer is lowercase alphabets only.
3. If the answer is more than two words, remove spaces.
4. If the answer is a person name, last name only.
Warning: Please don't post exact answers. Just post hints for the levels!

@Graham - you need to view the source before it redirects. Be Quick!

@Graham: When it pauses, quickly do View Source
Oh wow - thanks Justin!
Stuck on Level 5 "Creatures consist of innumerable..."

Got it, thanks Ellie :o)
I'm stuck at 16 right now.
@ellie - check out the source for an extra hint
Just got there Ellie. Fish-Kite Return? lol

Answers are in the unexpected place in many cases. If pages are redirected, it is necessary for you to be careful.
Look around again.
Thanks Justin, I 'chipped' away and got it :o)
LOL @Rambler! Not what I had in mind :) I thought: flyfish enter.

@Enjoy, look up on this page....
just hit chapter 4, getting tougher i think
I did look there @justin, but I don't know it. Hm.
Sorry, skip that. I DO know it lol. Now, I'll figure the answer out.
lol...16 was a level for me
What the #@#;!
I just went to PH for level 17 and got a Christian site!!!!
@ Rambler.. huh???
I STILL can't connect it to the key in lvl 16.

@Ellie...I am what you're looking for...workwise
@Ellie, if you have the name of the fish, then just 'enter' it and add something ;O)

and Rambler told me to

still not sinking in
http://boke.fc2-rentalserver.com/textbookforriddle/chapter1/nextisnext.htm
Hahaha, I feel you are practically giving me the answer for 16 and I'm still so lost. I am entering the name of the fish, and I tried to add "fish" (I could see you are a fish @george, but other than that I don't know) after, I also tried things like "enter" and "key", but it doesn't make sense anyway. I feel sooo blind!
@EnJoy, before ".htm", what do you see?
@Enjoy - read the last part of your html line - literally
@Graham, yes, it's an anagram.
I make cupboards and tables...and other stuff with wood ;)
Got to go eat, back soon...
ok thanks.. I was putting in the pig latin translation for nextisnext!
THANKYOU @george!!! It really was easy, except that I used the japanese name for the fish lol.
Thx Ellie!
Holy crap.. I got 5 by myself.. miracles can happen!
I mean I got 4 by myself!
we will be stuck together on 5 then @enjoy lol
Gongtats @EnJoy!
Chapter I exam - there is a hidden page, but I don't know what to do with it.
ROFL @EnJoy
I'm stuck on 20...tried every ending I know of..
For 5, again the url is important, but more as an instruction. Find the correct letters in the text - 6 of them.
Sorry Nathan...I skipped the exams
@bigtank.. any luck with 5 yet?
For 18 I tried "what", and "winter" (looks like autumn in the pic), and "level19". Thinking some more...
ty @ellie got it
Woo Hoo.. thanks Ellie.. I was going backward! Next!
@Ellie...look at the name of the image...although you're almost there
Thanks again @george! Got it.
Gotta go for a while...I hope you guys managed to solve 20 when I'm back
Starting on 20 now :)
Can someone give me a hint for 19 please? I took a break for lunch and still can't get it!
@Justin, what did you do for lvl 18? Do kind of the same thing... there are 6 more to find.
on level 8 it has you google many things.
Inventor of Nitroglycerine
Hungary in the LON
and the study of physics..
How are these put into the answer?
@EnJoy, you need only one word as the answer. Google all the three things you get to find one person.
I mean, first find the three answers, then enter them in a fourth google seach and you'll find what you need.
ok Ellie. .. I will do that thanks.
Ellie - Did you get the 2nd rebus you were stuck on? I can't get it now with all the hints! haha
For 20:
you need to find another one so, check the name of the pic (and the extension) and invert them. Then google.
POP - got it!
Thanks @Edgar! Didn't think of inverting!
Great @Graham :D
Right, I'm back. What's wrong with the golf trophy? Level 21...
How do you invert Sunday? I am stuck on this one - thought it was monday. Help?
Incidentally, thanks for the extra push on level 20 Edgar :o)
@Rambler, check the name of the pic. Something is wrong with it... different of what you really see on it. Then try to do a little correction, if you know what I mean.
Oh saw "inverting" was for lvl 20...I need help with 19
@Graham, I think you're confusing your levels.
I saw that Rambler - having probs with sunset/Sunday level 19
@Edgar, Arr I see it now ;o)
After Sunday...jpg
@Graham, open the pic: ... sunday.jpg
Change that and find more pictures. You were close before.
Hi cam anyone help on level 8 i have found the 3 answers and googled them but cant find anything to put in
Sorry Graham, that was misleading. After sunday.jpg comes monday.jpg etc. Then see granmaa
Thanx @Edgar for 20!!!
Nevermind got it was looking right at it lol
You guys rock! Thanks Ellie and Rambler!
Grrr, someone at the door....
I wish Purplehell weren't down! So much easier than trying to remember the name of the alphabet in lvl 23. Going to google again.
Found it for lvl 23 by googling alphabets and looking at pics.
@Ellie...try Wiccan..
That did it @Ellie, thanks!
LOL @george, yw :)
Thanks george, and Ellie, on PH I get flowers and christians!!
For all of these special alphabets, this site might come handy:
http://www.earthchildpendants.co.uk/mystical-alphabets.html
Where have I seen the rebus in 24 before? LOL
25 now.
Thanks for the link Edgar, it's a BIG help. I see a letter missing in 24, but I'm not sure how to relate it yet.
Yep déjà vu on 24 :)
Did 27 by hand...
Ahh, trying variations of an Ian Fleming invention.
For level 25, the language is German.
can someone give me a clue on 24 please? i have the alphabet and translated the 8 letters, but it just looks like a segment of the alphabet
@Justin, I think it's something to do with James Bond, but nothing works yet...
never mind - POP!
And I think that because of the file name and the missing letter. Am I on the right track????
Stuck on 13 the one with all needles are official matters can anyone help please?
@rambler - for level 24? there isn't any missing letters that i could see. write the letters out and think about how it starts and ends
@keldos - look at the title of the page and think about the unique feature that all the words share in the clue
@Rambler, google the letters you have and look for brain teasers. 5 letter word.
@Justin, thanks. Water fool I am lol
Thanks justin got it
Yay, end of chapter V :o)
And thanks too Ellie...
I'm a little lost on 29...hmm
made it to 27!
anybody have any equivalent sites for purple hell? i'm trying to figure out 26
Justin - http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/caesar.php
Nope @Justin, I'm googling a lot and that dancing men cipher took some time to find a good translater for.
Here is a pic with the letters:
http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1636/menc.jpg
Can anyone help with lvl 27 - "Make a box" cypher please?
@graham, count the letters and figure out how you can make them a box. For example, 16 letters would be 4 rows and 4 columns.
Like:
abcdefghijklmnop is:
abcd
efgh
ijkl
mnop
@george, for 29 you can use a cryptogram solver like:
http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/cryptogram-solver.php
enter any letters as substitutes for the symbols, but make sure the dubble symbols are the same letters.
@Ellie you can find the dancing men at rumkin too. http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/substitution.php
Use it under "Method of Encoding"
ROFL...we all have the same source
...but I still don't get 29...
Ok now stuck on 17 the pig latin 1 i tried translating it but its not finding anything
LOL @george!
The text is 13 symbols.
Change it to any letters, BUT, after that look at the symbols that occur twice, and change them to the same letters. Then insert it into the cryptogram solver.
@keldos, I just looked at the words and "read" them. There are a little too many letters. Two letters in a row, that occur in three places. Remove them.
I can't find which key to use in lvl 30. Tried "key", "vigenere" and the answer to lvl 29. Any other ideas?
Thanks Ellie!
that's what I'm trying Ellie...grrhhh I'm too stupid...why don't I get it?
Thanks ellie got it now
now I got it...DOH!
Hmmm, tired now, gonna have to stop on 29. Hopefully my brain will be recharged later.
Thanks for all the hints and help though....
Found the key for lvl 30!! You need to change the url to get it.
lol, ELlie! BRILLIANT! (L)
Nice job Ellie - on to 31!
Finally lol... a level that tells me NOT to use Purplehell :) On 31.
Woot...woot @Ellie again!!!
i think my brain is leaking. 29 is stumping me big time. i've plugged letters into a cryptogram solver but all i get is complex science words...
End of chapter VI :) Level 31 was pretty straightforward.
Level 10 - poster.. did a reverse image search. I know the name of the poster and the artist, but they are not working.. did it in spanish and english
@Jeremy, I finally managed to get it with this one
http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/cryptogram-solver.php
thanks @george! i got p**********s but that doesn't work...
For lvl 29:
write 13 letters like this:
QWERTYUIOPASD (can be anything)
Look at the symbols; number 11 and 13 are the same (stars), so are number 2 and 9 (squares).
Change your letters so they are the same on those places, like;
qWertyuiWpAsA
Put that sequence into a cryptogram solver, like:
http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/cryptogram-solver.php
@EnJoy, the name of the poster should work. One word. S*****
hand meets forehead! totally missed the squares!
LOL, I was stuck for a short while on 32 until I read the title :)
No, @Jeremy, be careful with that head!... might be needed soon enough :)
Lvl 33 easy too, think base 10, 2 and 16. Find a good converter.
dang Ellie, you're fast...I'm still counting on 31
Staring at 34 with no ideas.
And...got 34 :)
caught up...staring at 34 too
On 36 - again the title of the level is important!
still staring..
@george, don't stare at the level, do as it tells you!
You need to stare somewhere else... where you can use the numbers to count.
On 37 I'm trying to use his invention, but not sure how.
and again...DOH! Thx Ellie, finally got it...and I could swear I used this before..lol
Yw @george, now come to 37 and help please.
yeah...on 38 now!
you just have to figure out which of those 3 letters you need to make a word
Ah! I WAS doing the right thing for 37, but had a hard time seing the word.
Found another valuable page for help:
http://www.collegepuzzlechallenge.com/PuzzleTools.aspx
Yes @george... lol, that was hard for me :)
I wrote each 3 of them underneath each other...made it easy this way
Haha @george, I did that, but lots of english letters around makes it hard for me to find an word.
On 39 and staring at flags.
I'm lost on 33, and I feel silly. I know how to do the conversion, but I tried the name of the character set, and some variants.
I might be on to something...just need to find out the last flag..
I have all the countries, but not sure yet how to use them. Country abbreviations didn't work. Now looking for some flag alphabet or countries languages.
@Michael, this tool is a good one:
http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/
Look for the text.
no alphabet..look at clou on the tab...
For 39.
TLD = Top-Level Domain
Anagram then.
And if I have to download a program to solve 40, then this is end for me.
or what Edgar said...
Im stuck at level 13 all needles are official matters.
double letters are the unique features but thats wrong
Thanks @Edgar! That was what I did before, but I had my anagram solver put on 6 words, and I got only crap from that lol. Now I rechecked and got the word.
@... use one of each.
what's with 40? what should we paint?
For 40, open the pic in ms paint and paint it... literally.
Thanks @Edgar! On 41 now.
Thanks Ellie,so obvious!
can I have further instructions for the painting?
POP...
@george, save a copy of the pic on your comp. Open it with a color editing program, such as MS Paint.
Then use the "color bucket" to color the three backgrounds in new colors. You should see something.
