@small-tool you missed the ones in the journal.
occasion: housewarming party
recipients: Toni the niece
Your missing Toni, the niece. You find that clue in the journal.
Hi everyone!
I have a stupid question, i don't understand the bear from level 6, as i understand his virtue is singing, or maybe talking, so i tried different variations but that didn't work. even tried cinnamon, because of his colour.
drinkmilk - look at the writing below the bear and write down the letters in either both words or ones found in only one word, then look for the answer:
make columns like this and the it should stand out
dkd
slsl
sls
fjdk
Hey hey! I'm back! But ur still on 12. T-T
Hm... not in the mood for a hard level right now..
LEVEL 12: Has anyone noticed the numbers on the table they give you? They go to 7...?
Nini, have you noticed the number in each column/row for the table they give when you highlight it?
Sry yvonne was working on the puzzle. And yup! I have. Guess we'll need that to form a word after grid is complete.
AHHH Good thinking! Well, I'm working away at it dilligently. This reminds me of sudoku!
Got all toys placed. Missing promotion and bday..
And all the rest despite the obvious.
Hm placed some more things but got in a point where I can't move any foward.
Guess I completed it. Now for the other part..
OMG OMG OMG I did it!! Lvl 13!!
I believe everything is in its proper place, however, using the #s I am getting something that needs a visit to Granma (and she is NOT helping). Anyone else finish and get a usable result?
I'm in the same spot... Grrr
I feel so stupid, but I'm just getting on and I can't get level 1. I tried "collect" but that's not working, and I don't get what else it could be.
That's the answer Matriarch.... it goes here:
http://curiosities.riddlingpark.com/YOURANSWER.html
I want to figure it out on my own but thank you!... i'm SO close!!!
Thanks Nini! Turns out I was typing the address wrong... oops.
Ok! Post deleted! :)
Well... it's getting late here and I need some sleep.
Good luck to u all and see u tomorrow.
Well, I guess I missed the hint fest (chuckle) :) Just nice to know that it is solveable (is that a word?) Oh, and IS Granma needed? (so I can be more careful or not this time around)
I'm am totally stumped with #13, I have no clue where to even begin with the antique dolls.
Ok, the clue to #13 is the image name but I have no idea who that is.
@neeceeree..... a clue for 12 please:/
Well the note says "maybe i'm just too CLOSE to it right now" and the title of the page is "No Need to Zoom In".... I tried standing at the back of the room and it does look like something is there to make out but I can't get it.
Robin, unfortunately the riddle is a long process for solving! There are SO many variables...
Answer hint: When something motivates you to do something it is what?
I don't know how else to help on LEVEL 12 without giving up my chart or giving the answer.
WooHoo!! 13
Yeah, I'm seeing 2 letters but it still doesn't make sense yet. I've tried shrinking, squinting, even TinEye but nothing yet.
Robin, which ones are you missing in the grid?
Hm.... "13 emblem" comes up with the apollo 13 emblem and the way the colors of the dolls are arranged match the colors of the apollo 13 emblem. Tried "apollo", "apollo13", "nasa".... no luck...
ty ty yvonne.... was only missing a couple of letters :)
Neecee, what two "letter" are you making out? I was curious if we are seeing the same thing or just trying too hard haha
I'm seeing E and D, but not making any sense of it. I think I'm over-thinking it. lol
You're welcome Robin! I was hoping you had enough letters to solve it like wheel of fortune!.... Man, I'm going nowhere fast on level 13...
O.K. Last post before I sleep for a few hours. Did some searching and found that what looks like a Raggedy Ann/Andy Doll in the lower right is actually the avatar for the creator of this riddle. Been going googly eyed trying to imagine what to do without them in the pic. (Probably over thinking - but I counted 13 different doll types without that particular one being there) Don't make bet on it, though, I would stress for all to count for themselves.
Tired rambling done for now. GoodLuck & GoodNight
i am still at an idle on 13 too... think i am overthinking it maybe.... the name says lower right...but still nothing...tried blacking out all doubles and such but not getting it either... and i can make out the d but not sure what the first is
Ugh.. cannot sleep.. but I must. Keep staring at this and thinking that there is sth(s) missing. Can't remember if there are more on one level or not and how to get them. Too tired.. must sleep.
me to michjean, i will be dreaming about dolls all night now..lol....maybe i will think of what i overlooked that way....night all
We definitely need a program to zoom out... I'm convinced, there is NOTHING else! Am I all alone now?
i tried dates of dolls, the "lower right clue" ken dolls. chuck norris, makers, everything, playing with the contrast, bright, drawing from all dolls to blacking out all twins etc.... nothing else... think i better get some sleep and try again tomorrow.
I'm about to call it a night too but I thought I'd mention this first.
1. the journal page is titled "How best to position the dolls"
2. The image title is "lower right"
3. title clue is "no need to zoom in"
So I think the answer has something to do with the display for the dolls.
Maybe fresh eyes will see something tomorrow.
agreed! I hope I don't have nightmare about this tonight...
Hi, I'm stuck at level 3. can't see nothing in the note. I played with brightness / contrast in Gimp but still get no word.
Lisa, It's 2 words that pop up on an old cash register when you just want to open the drawer and make change.
gdmorn everyone welcome aboard nini...on 11 now :)
onto 12
Thank you Neeceeree,
But I still don't get the answer. Can I see these words in the note? I try in**** c*** or k** but it's not work.
Lisa, try changing the hue and saturation. The words should appear white.
I must doing something wrong beacouse I try all options in Gimp and still don't have the answer. Well, I'll keep trying or give up.
Thank you Neeceeree
Hi to all. A little bit of information for those who haven't found, there are more images on level 13.
Good mornint! just reached 13, I had only one letter wrong on 12 and this nearly drove me cracy, thanks @yvonne for your hint.
Thanks @faltu, found three more pictures and have four letters now, not sure about one of them, may be trial and error will help.
@lisa just invert the picture on Gimp and than change only contrast (to about 96), now you should be able to read it clearly.
oh dear this grid on 12 is taking me ages help anyone plz
zephyr give me a minute and I'll mail.
yay chipsi help plz im tired of this grid :)
Always ready to help. Mail is sent.
wonder if I have the right letters on 13 or if there are more, cause I am getting nowhere with mine.
Sorry was not here, Chipsi you have to z*** o** more, there are 7 letters.
@chipsi, Thank you very much.
Hi all,
Level 12 was pure hell, wasn't it?
Anyway I did it and on level 13 now.
But have to go already.
Be back later.
more pics on 13???i c only the dolls one wht am i missing?
Question about level 13.
Do I have to make the four pictures to one big pictures and can I see letters then?
Or is there another trick?
zephyr29,
The name of the picture is a clue to find the other 3 pictures.
Hi S-t, yes it was, only a small mistake took me forever to solve it.
@zephyr29, look at pic name and find others.
Omg, I was so proud to see four letters and now you tell me I have to see seven. I think I haven't got enough phantasie to see the others, for me it could be everything. Am I right that there are three vowels and two of them are the same?
S-t make one and z*** o** as much as you can.
Chipsi only two, both same.
Level 13 was quite easy.
On 14 now, but really have to go now, be back later.
Chipsi,
3 letters on top
4 letters on the bottom.
Chipsi,
Squinting your eyes helps a lot.
And you don't have to anagram so try to see a word.
S-t, please stay for some time. Stuck at 14. Trying all board games, must be something different.
Got it thanks faltu, my eyes are hurting now!
Wow, Chipsi. Now help at 14.
Wait, got something, if you follow the arrow of go I think I have a sentence.
We need to find a game, right? The journal gives a hint, I'm sure, not that I understand it now.
Yes, that's it, 15.
16.
woa, great finding faltu!
And back again for some time.
And I don't see level 14.
I don't get a sentence when I take the first letters and I don't get a sentence when I go straight down from the red arrow.
small-tool first go down the red arrwo, sentence starts with
SPOILERarollSPOILER
than go down the blue arrow on the right
S-t you have to go straight down (picking a letter at each game) following the GO arrow and the arrow at the right.
Thanks guys, got it now
I stopped trying after aro, because I thought it wouldn't make a sentence.
another clue for 13 plz can c the ken (male) doll so am i looking at all ken dolls or wht
15 was funny (count).
On level 16 now.
okay on 16 now.
the only letter i c is a D
zephyr29,
Put all 4 pictures together in their right place (according to their names).
Make the complete picture smaller and squint and you should see a word.
@zephyr, look at the pic-name, you need three more pictures, if one is on the LOWERRIGHT, where would the other three be?
Wish I had a printer for level 16, but I haven't so I guess I have to cut and paste with Mspaint.
@small-too sorry to be a pain but wht 4 pics do u mean of the three dolls in the bottom right and the main pic im feeling really dense today
16 is much hard work and time consuming. Taking a small break now, hope you will spoil the level for me. :D
OMG how dumb of me okie got ur hint thnx chipsi gonna work on it now
thnx small-tool u can del now
Never give up...talk! Explore! Ha, love this lark....
Chipsi,
Are you getting something on level 16?
Do you think we have to rotate (or even mirror) pieces as well?
gng for now c u all in a while
Don't know but it looks like that we have to rotate, I only managed to get the letter c but nothing else on the four pic matches together. And I haven't got a printer here and doing it on paint isn't much fun.
I'm sure we have to rotate, found two pics that matches wonderful after rotation, give me another hour and I'll find a third one.
Chipsi,
So far I have this;
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/sofart.png/
I think it's right, but not sure.
hi guys just starting out and got to 6 hope to catch up soon
New here...
So, as you've helped so much with the lvls thus far (and need your help for the next one), lvl 16 is really really easy if you can print it and play with it. The pictures are in the right order, you just rotate each one of them a bit. It's not even an anagram, just one word. Uni******y...
ok got to level 10 . now stuck , got the cipher we need but not the code , any help
Got some sleep and at work... slow day. I knew there was something missing on 13. Got all 4 now how do I put them together? (Gimp or paint and how to do it) Tried squinting at each one separately but no good.
@bigtank - type of chair (look at name)
thanks thanks thanks passerby!!!! you rescued my day!
ok put r.....g into keyword and get another kind of chair at the end of the letters
nvm got it now ty michjean
Hi michjean, I opened each one with paint, zoomed out and than copied and pasted all in a seperate paint window together.
the break helped soooo much saw the full word in a second :) on 14
Yay! @bigtank
@chipsi - thanks! doing it now :)
Thank you passerby, I was hoping for a spoiler. Joining at 17 after the break.
i have a sentence for 14 but it dosent work as answer is it a particular game we r looking for
nvm missed one word haha on 15 now
looking at 12 may be a while with this, missed all the deleted clues. helpppppppppppp i hate these
@zephyr no it isn't a game, answer is the whole sentence (five words), may be you made a typo?
Finally did 16.
And level 17 was easy.
On 18 now.
S-t any help for 17? Is it Morse?
Faltu,
Not morse, but b....y
Thank you S-t, I was thinking morse, braille but not the obvious one.
ok did not scroll down far enough missed the table as the bottom of 12 . that might help things a bit
All I can say is ow! My eyes are watering but squinting until you are only looking through teeny tiny slits is the ONLY way to see that (imho the 2nd letter is the worst)LOL
hi bigtank nice to c u again :)
Completely clueless on 18.
The ad is here:
http://georgegracie.wordpress.com/2009/07/07/eggs-spam-burns-and-allen/
What am I missing on 15? Tried #s and spelled out. Is it a word of something instead. (I am so overthinking this) :(
bigtamk let me know if u need a big nudge on 12
@s-t find the notecard
@michjean its more than one word red along the line of first the red arrow and then the blue one
yes please zephyr
bigtank sending u mail
whoops sorry michjean wrong level clue
Thanks Passerby,
But I can´t find a notecard.
I thought with the title being spam hits the hotpsot, there should be something to click on spam somewhere, but didn´t find anything.
@st: text says that he picks up a notecard. So .jpg it... If it's too much clue, erase the post!
ty zephyr got it now
Thanks Passerby, got numbers now.
Any idea what to do with them.
And no need to delete I think, it´s not a straight answer.
Btw forgot to say Welcome here with posting.
Ah, I think how to use the numbers on 18.
X and Y on the picture.
Picking up letters now.
I am new here but am going bonkers stuck on those darn dolls on level 13. I have read all the hints but don't get the bit about the 'other images'. Help!!!
Thank you passerby, on 19.
Yep, numbers was picking up letters from the picture. On level 19 now.
@Regina, the pic name is lowerright, so change lower to u**** and such on to find four pics for four corners.
@bigtank did u recv mail
onto 17 yay
On level 19 I can´t find the price for Chili size, Coffee, Root beer, etc.
on 17 where do u c a b***** code????
S-t See last page.
found all the images in 13 but can not get them al together
Thank you, Faltu. I am so dense sometimes.....
zephyr29,
Coke or soda. makes 0´s or 1´s.
@bigtank use word and put pics there and z*** o**
nvm got it now onto 14
Faltu,
I found those prices separately.
Did you get one price for those things?
Anyway If I add up everything I get 560, but that´s now the answer.
So now what?
thnx small-tool got it on 18 now
oh bother! can't seem to match up notecard with ad (how do you grid the ad?)
oops! forgot to mention on 18.
& a big thank you @ faltu for always telling me when I overthink a riddle :)
I found each separately too, tried to convert to hex but that's gibberish. Do not know now what.
Michjean,
Just open the picture in a program like Paint or Gimp and find those coordinates.
Got to go guys,
Maybe back later this evening, but probably it´s gonna be tomorrow.
Good luck.
Bye ST, I will also quit for today, see you tomorrow. Good luck to all.
im also on 19!!!!
got letters from 18 but nothing making sense...
could someone check them for me?
Cannot leave without solving it. I think it's the periodic table. working on it.
@michjean try granma
for 19 i get 198.65 but thts not the ans either
@zephyr - have 3 vowels (2 the same) & 5 others letter (none the same)and Granma - using both a scrabble one and Solver - give me only 1 eight letter word m******* which does not work
ur first letter shd be a vowel i made the same mistake so 4 vowels (2 the same) and 4 other letters
Hi guys I'm back! Working on 19.
Guess we have a problem there since the last dish is shown only kids version. Adult's may price differently.
@nini the adult price is below where u c the choc sundae 1.15
@zephyr - Thank You So Much!! Yes, that was the problem (letters up there were so small) Now 19 and from the sounds of it, not a nice level to be on.
ohh thx hehe
for 19 periodic table for sure. Just need to know how to work numbers out.
Nini - there are 7 letters you need. One price is a total. Use first letter of each element.
i got a......c sort of a smell for 18 but does dot work
nvm entering it on the wrong page. well that wasted half an hour
7?? Thought I needed 10! :O
And I got it!! The problem was that multiple things- item.
Thx! lvl 20 but I'm leaving! Back later.
wooohoooo got 19 onto 20
ok how many letters for 19 got all the prices.
Ha! Very funny to find THAT on the p******* t****!
onto 20..
@bigtank 7 letters the ones that are as a batch are a total
Detail? How to pay attention when do not know exactly what one is looking for?
ok got it now ty.got to go may get back tonight but i have to be up at 5.30 am to take my son to manchester airport he is going to florida for 2 weeks, me jealous no .lol
tried anagramming the brand names, tried finding out first letter of the associations but last two not visible, saw tht fiddler dosent specify any fruit
Well, must actually get a job done now for shipping.
For 20 - thought from hints I would try v****** c but not
Also been looking at what is different or the same on all...
im gng too leave big hints :) c u tomorrow gdnight
hey Im stuck on level 12. Help please:(
20's an anagramm. One letter from each name, although they are two ;)
So I have a bit of the grid for 12 filled out but can't make any more progress. And I missed out the hints that were posted earlier. I could really use a big nudge on this one.
hi drinkmilk.the first is in lacis but not in ari.so that means you have lcs that are not in ari. so keep those letters.
lcs
xx
xx
xx
line the letters up under each other for each clue and pick the letters to form a word
!!!!!!!!!!NEW PAGE ALERT!!!!!!!!!
I cannot find a single path to an answer for 21. Does it have to do with the s****? I had a look and was told there was nothing useful, hmmmm? Again, must be overthinking.
Hey guys.. I don't have much time to play, but I'm still willing to help solving 21. :)
21 - US mail, who's the first stamp commemorating? Look around very carefully "in" the image for things to decode. You need 5 if I remember well.
Nobody on 23 yet? Don't have a clue about baseball...
uhh I can see morse code there...
got 2 letters only hehe
Missing 1 letter aaah!!
