Yea! great Mad Phantom, when's the next installment lol :)
For lvl 10 you do what you have done on previous levels (lvl 4 for rectangle) (lvl 9 for clock)(lvl 6 for last shape) and for cubes I just got lucky
Hopefully someone more clever will explain it
Thanks Mad Phantom!!
Will be waiting for the rest
@al sal, I thought that the cubes would be 'O' which makes sense, however your suggestion got me there :o)
Haha, nice one jon :o)
That was the first thing I tried too @rambler but then there were too many vowels so I started trying other letters and I got lucky!!
Happy New Year to all,
Thanks for the riddle Mad Phantom, and thanks for all the hints, great find on 9 s-t!
I think I've got right letters at 9, but can't find the word... can anyone tell me what's the order of these clocks?
Natlo,
Letters in this order;
clock 3, 1, 4, 2, 5
s-t thank u so much! such an easy word...
YES...I have finished also. Thanks to all for wonderful hints and to Friend Pel for excellent hint on number 9.
Great riddle MP, waiting for next levels.
Thanks S-t for 9.
Sadly, I've had to go out fro much of today and I've missed the end (lvl 9 & 10).
And I don't get the clues/hints.
Can anyone help please? - lvl 9?
I can't even get lvl 4 to show now so I'm not even sure which images we're supposed to use as a hint.
Ashley,
The top cut is 0
One hand is on a number (write it out) and the other hand tells you what letter to pick from that number.
And then anagram.
Thanks S-t - makes perfect sense - when you KNOW.
Thought I could manage 10 by myself.
But I can't make much sense of the top two.
In level 4 (?), the rectangle was an "Oblong".
But since the bottom two are both undeniably vowels, the rectangle must (this time) be "rectangle".
So does the first diagram represent Two Boxes, Two Cubes, Six Squares, or something plainer, like Cube-Cube, Box-Box?
I've tried all combinations (I think) and can't see an answer that works.
What am I doing wrong?
I was lucky there.
Somehow I thought cubes was a 6-letter word so I took the S (2x).
But even with knowing the letter I can't find the right method.
A very far-fetched method I thought of was;
3 lines, so that's 15 and the word cube is 4 letters 15+4=19 and that's an S.
But not happy with that.
Oops. I meant I thought cubes was a 6-letter word and the total of 6 lines was the hint to pick the 6th letter.
But it was wrong anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Back after a few hours sleep;
So S-t, you told me what mistake you made but nothing else (I think).
someone said only two vowels.
So I tried an Anagram Solver with every combination I can find in the Level picture ... ... and came up with NOTHING!
As I said, I see 2 possibilities for the top right (= Rectangle or Oblong); the bottom 2 are easy (assuming the rules didn't change); but I cannot find 2 letters to suit the top left.
So I'm still stuck.
The cubes are S (so you havee two S's)
The rectangle is just a Rectangle.
The gear/clock thing is the same method as the previous level.
The bottom right one is the same as another previous levels (triangle cut is 1 and line cut is 5), but out triangles and lines are subtracted.
So in that way the bottome ones are indee the two vowels.
MMMMMmmmm!
Well, as I said, I've tried those letters through an anagram solver and I cannot find the answer.
There are only two English words which come up in every anagram solver, but I have tried other combinations too.
So I just don't get it!
Doesn't look like I will be going on when the next 10 come online.
But thanks for all your help S-t.
It's a verb
r***s
Aaaahhh - I have found the problem.
Someone said earlier that they got an error screen but with the next level label.
All I kept getting was a blank black screen.
I tried it in a different browser and got the same result except that the browser tab had the new level label (-.) - my usual browser just had a blank tab.
So thanks for your help (again) - I did have it correct but just didn't know it.
Now awaiting lvls 11- ... ...
level 6 pleaseee
Levels 11-16 are now out. Have fun!

Stuck on 12.
hi faltu, working on 12 also
Lol, we're all stuck on level 12 I think.
Hi guys!! Going in... I guess 11 is obvious since you all got to 12
Well, obviously not obvious enough for me...
Bye All, must go for a while, good luck and leave good hints!
@al sal there are 13 entrances either side
Hmmm... and I guess only 5 make it to the center...
I'll work it out. Thanks @mtatt100
12 now..
Nordinho solved 12!
Lol and so did EG24 Flor.
I'm on level 13 now.
For level 13.
Think of a way to make a grid that's just a bit more than the alphabet.
Then pick letters from the arrows.
Yeah. EASY after the hints there. What about 13?
No idea at all on level 13.
Don't even see how in can be 5 letters :(
Maybe top left one, both top right ones, middle one, bottom left one and bottom right one.
I think all three top figures on 13 are the same pyramid in different views. Trying to figure out what it means though
Trying something else now Al Sal.
I'm trying to count the 5 different shapes.
i dont see how to make 4x7 grid at level 12
Mishu think that the last arrow(the square) is No 26
Mishu,
Maybe try a 7x4 grid
hm...
still cannot do it
It;s not very precise... try one letter back and forth and the word is a bit strange
STOG me Mishu.
S-T I'm sure the top three are the same pyramid and even the wave looks like it is the opened pyramid, the numbers are on the same position..
Yep Al Sal, I better go look at that.
Counting just gave me gibberish letters.
Did you get it Mishu?
(I'm still at stog chat!).
Hi All, back and working on 13
just join STOG
Still here frying my brain...
Any progress?
Still stuck on 13
Tried many ways of counting and converting to letters - no luck, then tried using the 5 polygons to trace letters on the other shapes, still no luck. Must go for now. Good luck.
Little New Year's present:
Level 13,
The 4 squares at bottom right represent each face in the pyramid, each face made by 3 vertices ('square' 'pentagon' 'hexagon' and/or 'octagon').
Pick the values (lines and triangles) for all the vertices to make your word.
Small hint Level 14,
Same start. Then alphabet.
but which is which?
Hola Edgar LOL what would we do without you?
...and good night.
Hasta la vista!
My friend Leroy!! So nice to see you! Doing fine so far, thanks. :)
@Mishu, I will explain some more. I hope I'm clear enough.
Look closely to the 2 figures on the right -the open pyramid and the wave ones.- They both show the exact position of the vertices on each face.
Now, look at the first face. It is formed by 'hexagon' on the left, 'pentagon' on top and 'square' on the right.
Go to the first square on the last pic. It has 1 line, 2 lines and 2 lines respectively. Assign these to the 'hex' 'penta' and 'square' vertices... in this order... same position.
Go on like this.
Wow, Edgar back.
And of course solving/cracking levels/riddles just like that :)
Anyway, welcome back and a Happy New Year.
Same for you s-t!
thanks, got 13
No problem MishAnubis. Glad to help a riddles icon like you :)
Vague hint for 15,
Left=group
Right=Position
It's taken me over an hour and half to understand the hints you all gave for the first five levels, the game's own forum is terrible, there's hardly any logic involved and afaik 'fatum' is not even an English word. Level 6 looks even worse. I'll learn to write in Klingon before I'll get this! How you lot managed to get this far is beyond me, but when there's not even a single thing I can do on my own, I quit.
Can't understand 16 and I should be getting ready for bed. So, this is as far I could go. Hopefully we will see again soon. Nite all.
@ReemZ, is it level 6 you're having troubles with?
You see... Lines worth 10 and triangles worth 1.
Subtract the outer ones to the inner ones to come up with the numbers you need to convert to letters.
Glad to see you Edgar sweet dreams!!
@Edgar: yup, it doesn't make any sense to me.
How did you find out the whole "lines worth 10 and triangles worth 1" thing?
So if I understand your hint right, I get the following numbers:
11 18
12
19 40
So...which is the 40th letter of the alphabet?
@Reemz: there's a typo. Lines are worth 5 instead of 10. So please count again.
Working on level 13...
got 13. @Edgar, you're a genius...
Finally on to 14, thanks for the hint Edgar
WOW!!! Edgar is here again, our rescuer!! Thanks Edgar and welcome back!!
Hi faltu, still stuck on 14
Hi donas what did Edgar mean by same start? Previous clock level?
Not sure, I thought he meant the 3 circles on the top left were the key, like the 4 boxes on 13. I've tried similar ways to the previous level, but no luck.
Good luck, faltu. It's late here and I'm off to bed. Leave me a hint!
Bye Donas. Got 14. Thanks Edgar again.
15 is easy, on 16.
Here again for a while. More for Level 14:
'Same start, then alphabet' meant start solving the clocks exactly the same way you did in a previous level (indeed). Once you get a letter doing that, use the position of that letter in the alphabet to use it with the second-hand of the clock.
...and I know I won't be able to solve 16. No matter how long I stare, the level just doesn't tell me a thing!
Hi Edgar. Tried to count the sides of the shapes for five lines but the arrows confusing me.
@faltu, I go to have a look at 16 every now and then, but really doubt something will hit me.
15: how coordinates works here?
Mishu, first line give you the group of squares and the second line their position to pick up from the group.
NEVER MIND
GOT IT
Thanks for the hints Edgar and faltu, working on 16
I cannot even start 16!
same here
As some of you probably noticed, there's a net involved here. But its size, and thus location of its 'holes', may be different than the 1st thought would say ;)
totally agreed with Rameez
im still stuck on level 8
and even i dont understand the hint ...
raasti
The box on the upper left is the key. Fold it into a cube and note that opposite side total the same number. Note that the other shapes have highlighted squares, do the same to them and pick those squares
still no one solved 13 ....
Mishu, do you mean 16?
Back after 2 days away.
But I don't get 11 (which everyone else seems to have no problem with.
Got the hint - 13/side & only 5 lead to the centre.
But whatever way I count from I only get 1 vowel and nothing comes up in an anagram solver.
Anyone want to give me another pointer please?
Meantime, I guess I'll keep trying.
Ashley, start your alphabet from top left corner go down, then top right corner, go down. Look for those lead to the centre.
Thanks Faitu.
Somehow, I had ONE letter wrong ... ... every time I tried it.
Guess I was a bit more careful today.
I'm having a small problem with 14;
The first clock, hour hand now points straight up.
But on lvl 9, straight up represented 0.
So do we call this "naught", "zero", or carry on around and call it "eight"?
Or have I missed another name for 0?
NVM, got it. Miscounted on second clock.
Lvl 15 ...
Here we go again ...
Lvl 15; How can you have "position 6" when there are only 4 squares (letters) in a group?
Me stuck again!
Ashley
the second line gives the position, look at the placement of each figure on the overall square
Aaahh - thanks Donas.
I was well launched into an explanation of why I I couldn't understand it, when halfway through I saw what I'd missed.
On to Lvl 16. Has anyone solved that while I've been busy elsewhere for a few hours?
Not that I know of, MP posted a 2nd hint on his forum, but still can't solve it
Assuming the circle is a one-side shape for the author (any math student should know a circle is made by MANY sides), the line is two sides and the empty spots are zero, I've translated the grid into this:
8 5 4 1 3
3 8 6 4 0
6 4 8 4 2
0 2 4 3 3
1 0 7 1 2
Then have inserted arithmetic signs in between the lines (being the same one for the arrow pointing to the left), but nothing good has come up with that. :(
My grid was almost the same Edgar - I just wasn't sure what to assign to the circle & the line (though I was leaning in favour of the same). Never thought to assign value of zero.
So whatever we do next, the second & third letter (according to this grid) must be (or should be) the same.
I wondered if we just add and/or subtract, possibly depending on whether the arrows point left or right.
we should then have a grid (5 across x 4 down) of numbers that translate to letters. So then we just choose on letter from each row (top to bottom?) to make a word - much like a puzzle I used to like in some puzzle books.
This would then negate my comment on the second & third letters being the same.
The only question is do we add or subtract (arrow left or right - or vice versa); or should we multiply & divide - probably not because then we start dividing odd combinations ... ...
As it is now 1:40am for me, I may have to leave this soon and get some sleep for the morrow.
Edgar and Ashley
I've tried many of the same ideas, but I keep coming back to the 1st hint
"But its size, and thus location of its 'holes', may be different than the 1st thought would say"
I feel like the holes are significant, but there are only 3. How do we increase the net's size to contain 5 holes?
So... heading to bed now.
For whatever help its worth ...
I made up two new grids of the arrowed spaces; one grid was plus for arrows pointing to the left and subtract (smaller value from bigger value) for arrows pointing to the right. The other grid was opposite.
Then I listed the available letters in 5 vertical columns (just so that the words - if any - would read across left to right).
One or two words showed up, but nothing proved to be the solution.
So IF we are on the right track, I'm thinking now that we will have to start looking for anagrams within my new grids.
It seems to be quite complicated.
I look forward to seeing some more progress tomorrow.
Mmmm Donas.
I have been assuming that the five arrows indicate the five letters we are looking for. And it sounds like Edgar has had the same thoughts.
Of course, if, as Edgar suggested, the "holes" are simply filled by a zero, and if, as I have suggested, we are to make up a new grid which interweaves with what we have been given, then it would seem to me to fulfill that first hint. The "holes" would then indicate where some letter choices double up in a row.
eg in Edgar's grid, the top right corner is as follows;
... 1 3
... 4 0
If you then subtract the smaller from the bigger value, 4-1=3 & 3-0=3. So assuming that the 3 represents letter C, reading down the grid from top to bottom you will only need 1 "C" in the top row.
The second and third rows across will be identical, whatever rules you apply to create the rows/grid.
But if for example, rows 2 & 3 were A B C D & E
you might need the word we are hunting for could be aDEpt, or tABle, or the letters could be the same letter - eg tEEth.
OR if as I am now thinking, we take one letter from each row and then anagram them, they could end up in any position in our hunted word.
Now I really must get some sleep.
Have fun.
I'm back after a few days... Solved 13 thanks to Edgar (THANKS!!!). I had seen the pyramid but could not find a way to link it to the 4 squares...
And now looking at 16..
Anybody solved it yet??
Ooops I just saw your last comments with what you've been trying Ashjey and Edgar...
I am still just staring at it..
MP's latest hint:
"There are 5 arrows (yes, 5), and each of them is independent from the others. In other words, I could move or remove any one of them, and it would affect only a single letter."
I thought difference between the shapes then add all numbers in row together got letters 16 13 11 12
P AC K L
This means the double arrow is actually one arrow and the arrows have nothing to do with adding or subtracting or whatever we have to do
double arrow mean second letter starting from left
... i think
Yes but how do we convert that 5x5 shapes grid to alphabet? I tried using the empty spaces between the shapes (where the arrows point anyway) which gives a 6x4 grid, but I only got gibberish...
Also tried a lot of combinations with the numbers corresponding to shapes but nope..
All these hints and I'm still stuck at level 13... totally clueless.
NVM, got that one. 14 now
for all on 16 imagine a net over the shapes the arrows point to an intersection
What an illogical, vague, lousy level this 16.
Doubtfully looking forward to more...
Anyway, thanks @mtatt100 for that hint. That helped.
Just a note to clear up a thing or two: all 20 levels passed through a beta-tester before publication. So they are, at the very least, solvable ;)
lvl 6 anyone?
A lot more clues now on the Synchronicity forum.
Trouble is, I'm back at work this week and I don't have so much time to think "puzzles".
It would be nice if someone would tell me if ANY of my ideas (above) are even slightly near to correct.
@mtatt100; would you mind repeating that last post of yours but with punctuation? Are you talking about a net which is the shape of the arrows, or should there be a full stop after "shapes"? (not that it helps me much - I don.t understand what you mean by "shapes".)
just place a net over all the shapes.Then your arrows will point to an intersection.Look around at that point.
hm... my word for 17 is not working
i'll look again
mtatt I look around and add the values? So if straight line is 1 what is the circle?
not a straight line it's called a digon
And what the hell is that supposed to mean???
Well I mean I learned now but never heard it before..
Anyway Thank You Very Much @mtatt. Had been stuck there for ages.
And btw this doesn't look much like a digon
I'm sorry, I'm normally good at picking things up and getting peoples' hints, but I am totally clueless here, and after reading all the hints and staring at the screen for hours I have got nowhere :(
can anybody simplify 16 for me please?
@nighty, maybe this screenshot can help you to understand level 16 better.
Click here
2 more things to keep in mind:
- the missing clue that the author kept for himself might be intersections.
- (many) answers in this riddle are NOT normal as the description states.
thanks, that actually helped, I've got it now lol
@Edgar:
This net isn't really the correct way to see this level, you misunderstood one of the hints. But don't worry, the level is now changed to be more clear in how to see it ;)
Also, I'm guessing that your definition of 'normal' is a rather curious one ;p
But what hints? The level didn't have any?!
I gave some on the forum and Nordinho, also explaining why it's problematic to calibrate the difficulty of those levels.
But please, do continue, I'm enjoying your rants on me :D
Ideas for 17, only tried a few things so far, none have been successful :(
I was not really asking MAd Phantom. Don't you worry as well. I know what hints you mean. It's exactly what I talk about and what I've said since a long time ago.
A good game should be self-standing... self-sufficient. And the moment you felt you, as the author of the game, or any of the beta-testers (Tynka, right?), needed to give extra hints for it, the very same moment you yourself proved it was unsolvable ;)
Edgar, I said many times that this game is 'experimental'. Is this word also abnormal? It means that some trail and error, as well as changes, will be involved in its creation. So if a level doesn't work as planned it gets changed. It happened on a couple of levels, now also including 16.
I never said that Tynka required a hint for 16, I have no idea where did you get this from. I also never said that 16 can't be solved without any hints, I just concluded that it turned out too difficult for this stage of the game, that's all.
Please, don't invent problems where there aren't any ;)
But it's no rants at all, trust me on that. It's only my opinion on the games I have the right to express as a riddles lover. I've enjoyed many of the levels in your game, and the moment I feel something is not fun or good, I have to speak it out. No hard feelings please. See, I might not have many games authors as friends, but the few I do have know that they will have honesty from me, and not fake pats in the back. Hope you can understand and take my words as positive feedback instead.
Oh, discard the Tynka comment, misread you, sorry ;p
OK, have read you and get your point. No problem at all then :)
Will continue playing and solving the best I can and thoughts will still be given if needed.
I enjoy your honesty, but some of your remarks sound quite personal. Not "the level" or even "the game" but "the author". Maybe it's just your way of phrasing it, but if so, then let me give you a honest feedback: reconsider changing this syntax, as it can lead to misunderstanding, and muddle communication.
well I cast my net the same way and you actually gave the net hint
You are right. I've had many experiences where I've seen some authors deliberately keep important clues just to come out to become the hero saving the day for the people being stuck. I don't know you really, and when I see something slightly resembling to that attitude I speak in a way that it does seem personal. I will have to keep that in mind for the future. Thanks.
Well, let it be said by the way @nighty. No ideas here for 17...
I actually dislike giving hints for my own levels, I want people to solve them on their own. But I also don't want them to do it too fast. And since I can't use weirdly phrased sentences in this game, that will make sense after many rereads, it can lead to balance issues. But in the end, as long as I get feedback, the offending levels will be improved upon. So yeah, please try 18, as this is the next suspect ;)
My point exactly. I don't mind playing getting a helpful hint from other players, but dislike very much getting it from the makers. No matter where riddles are played -here, Nordinho, Gamershood.. you name it- the riddling community is one only. And someone, somewhere, at any moment, has to solve it... struggling alone or in a team, but eventually the truly solvable levels will be solved.
And what's wrong with solving them fast? LOL
It's a little boring being stuck for days in a single level!!
I liked being stuck for days in Zest :P And note, that in every update I always do throw in some fast levels, for people who like them :D
LOL That means level 17 is a ball to make it to second base at least? Hmm, I wonder...
17 is not that hard
use an idea from an old level
18 by other hand ... looks tought
I need help with 9
Mishu, which old level?
Not that I can remember which is which anyways lol...
I can only think of that one where we had to connect shapes to draw letters...
The only other I can think of is the one with the pyramids..
And it actually worked! Thanks @Mishu
18 now.
@eilin, for 9:
Hours-word
Minutes-letter
thanks @Edgar
@nighty, for 17, pair shapes.
Trying, still can't see it..
how are you doing @nighty?
Spilling all the beans before leaving.
For 17, 6 triangles there, right? Need to make 3 connections. Keep the orientation.
Well, thanks to those who have explained the net better - I was looking at the "gaps" between horizontal rows (where the arrows point) but I didn't think to do the same vertically.
However, I don't think I'm any better off. I now have to do maths with four numbers instead of just two; and I don't see the "holes" (or knots) that some people talked about. And the description of a "digon" is of no help - now I'm not sure if it represents #1 or #2.
Added to which there is no straight forward word - I still have to pick 5 letters out of a grid of twenty net intersections and anagram them.
Sorry, but without something more substantial I'm dropping out. I'm too tired now that I'm back at work to figure it all out.
Leaving very disappointed.
Ashley, see edgar's spoilers at Edgar 1/9/12 12:24 PM for the grid, and 1/7/12 3:49 AM for numbers. pick the first intersection if one arrow, 2nd if 2. Count the numbers around that joint and add.
Got 16 and 17, thanks Mtatt and EDgar, stuck on 18.
Hmmm struggling with the pentagons Edgar, think I may have the others.
Hi Nighty, join similar shapes with similar orientations... pentagons gives you O.
19: i print, i fold and i take what i consider but no answer
???
Still stuck on Lvl 18.
I replaced the middle boxes with the letters they represent.
Other than that I can't see what to do next.
Its annoying because it tends to keep me a day (at least) behind everyone else. Unless everyone else is also stuck.
If that can make you feel any better I am on 18 too @Ashley. I am mainly crowling behind...
I think that circle on top means we have to move clockwise,but where to start from? The circle on bottom stands out so maybe that would be a place to start...
Will try to follow the arrows starting from there and see what I'll get
Or maybe the circle doesn't mean clockwise but to turn the whole thing upside down...
Which would mean to follow the arrows on the opposite direction...
But that hasn't worked for me either so far..
Anybody else here trying?
Now THAT is a good idea, al sal, - turning the whole picture around.
One suggestion on the Synchronicity forum said it reminded them of a scrabble board, with 5 people sitting around it. And the hint given was "what's the only thing that moves?"
The official Synchronicity forum is worth keeping watch on because they often give hints and/or discuss ideas that don't end up here on the EG24 forum.
And in case anyone doesn't know where it is, go to;
http://w11.zetaboards.com/Synchronicity/forum/3129909/
and click on the number of the level you are trying to solve.
I have to get back to work - I'll come back to this later. Have fun trying .. .. ..
GOT IT!!!
You have to turn clockwise to see the arrows but stay straight to follow them...
And after hundreds of trials on 18 finally going to 19...
Well done al sal.
Unfortunately, I don't fully understand what you mean - especially about the arrows.
And the corner positions; do they read from their left, or their right? ie I assume they have to "read the board" from the side on their left or the side on their right - yes?
Then; which "player" starts, and where do they start from?
Following the Forum recommendation, last night I did a copy & paste of all of the clues & hints in both forums, but it was no real help.
I'm sure its easy - right there in front of me ... ... but I can't see it.
NVM. I did some wild guessing and struck it "lucky".
(Actually, I drew up a larger grid, then followed your instructions, al sal, as best I could, and found the trail fitted perfectly on the 3x5 grid. After that, it was see what letter I could use from each possible starting point and fee them to an anagram solver.)
Lvl 19 >>>
New levels are out ;)
HA!
We have to GET there first MP.
Hi Al sal and Ashley, I see you are still playing and got 18. However I am still stuck there, where is the starting point and how to move about, do i have to turn the arrows clockwise to get inside the grid?
Please a bit clearer with the hints, thanks.
@faitu I'll try to be as clear as I can.
The starting point is the circle. Starting from there you have to follow the arrows.
First imagine you are standing in the middle of the board(ignore the squares-letters for a moment)and turn around clockwise. Now starting from the outer circle note the arrows as you see them.
Now go back to looking the grid and follow the arrows (as noted) without changing point of view this time. You should start from the circle and after following all the arrows end up to the circle again.
For me it helped to do it backwards as well
Now hurry up to 19..
@hi faltu!!
tks to @al sal and @ asley for the hints. My dooh moment still not comes
With all your explanation I try to do:
the first letter that I would then pick is N?
Thank you very much Al sal, got 18.
Lulu, no. Follow Al sal letter by letter you should get it.
I understand 19 is similar to 13, we have to construct pyramids and to determine opposite faces of the shaded ones, but cannot construct the pyramids, will try later.
The shapes on lvl 19 are not exactly pyramids, more like two pyramids one on the other (don't know the name of that solid)
I haven't found yet a relationship between the given numbers and I wonder why the rest of the triangles (including the 5 shaded that represent our letters) are numbered 1-4 for each "solid"
Anyway the "opposites" if you fold into solids don't work
1st, @ Lulu - draw up a grid on paper, 3 squares high and about 8 to 10 wide.
Next start in the centre and follow the arrows from the puzzle. They will seem to follow a maze which crosses over itself. Mark a cross every time you stop. You should end up with 5 crosses (NOT on the starting square, which threw me for a while). The whole maze track will fit in a 3x5 grid. Transfer your crosses to the puzzle grid, and see what letters you get.
NOTE WELL: There are more than one set of letters that fit the maze path. Try them all.
Now I have to go out to church (Sunday morning here) but I'll be back later - a couple of you have given me some ideas to try.
MMmmm - well my other ideas didn't work.
Problems; Even if I make up the pyramids, the four "tags" underneath don't match up (well not completely, anyway).
And are they just marked as #1, #2, #3 & #4? (as identification) or are they "minus" 1,2,3,4 - and if so, "minus" from what?
Stumped without some more ideas.
Thank you for all hints
@Ashley, I tried doing the way you explained me, but I was insisting on an error to start with the arrows ...
If not faltu, I'd be there until now..LOL
tks
For 19, it is a net of octahedron but opposite faces do not work.
Sadly, this riddle seems to have come to a halt at Level 19.
No-one seems to be playing - have they all given up?
I have said I'm stuck but there are no more forthcoming hints - either on this forum or the official forum.
I'll keep monitoring for a few more days but otherwise, sadly, I withdraw.
@ MP, if you're still monitoring; I must say I like this riddle better than some of the others I tried. More basic logic and less knowledge to be added (in my view).
Thanks for as far as I got.
no one got 21 to help me?
Stuck on 19 Mishu and haven't taken a look for days...
There are some players on level 26 now, so everything is going fine. Also, as a side note: presented here way to solve 18 is not the intended one. The 'real' one is a lot simpler, and does not require trial and error :P
LEVELS 31-35 ADDED.
FYI, in case anybody ever tries this game again, I finished it yesterday. Great set of puzzles.
