Never mind! I had the first c****r wrong. It's a tricky one. There is a more comprehensive list on Wikipedia.
@Sevenfar:Thanks for that push
Reached the end of Intro Level 30 TEOTEQ Egg Path A. Got a couple of rotten eggs trying to use the o*******a. Not sure how to proceed. Also still haven't managed to unlock Path B at all.
@BlackFiresong : You definitely need Path B to proceed. Try thinking more complicatedly on that text in the object in base level.
@Namchokdef: I tried various combinations of taking the gibberish b**kw***s, k*y b**kw***s, etc (by b**kw***s, I mean from R to L instead of from L to R). But nothing is working for me. Is the k* the same as for Path A?
@BlackFiresong : Nope, not the same! You need a new k**. Perhaps you need to look back at your past progress....
@Namchokdef: Hmm... I'm trying to combine previous egg words in some way. Am I getting warmer?
@BlackFiresong : If my assumption is right, then yes, do keep in mind on what was hinted on the k**.
Oh huh, there's also a confirmation egg if you got it right, I didn't know that.......
@BFS Yes. A not too difficult way,
Thank you both! Unlocked the B path now :)
still missing the obvious in Intro 30.4 Egg 3. Does the separation mean double the firsts? Does the red tile mean do not include? ughh
@Hancock : Think really simple than that. it's w**** and w*** to choose. It's separate to indicate that.
Level 2 Egg 1 - I got the message from the dice. I read the hint given to Laurie earlier to apply the message and continue counting, but I don't know how to do that. I'm done with the dice and have nothing more to count, and I'm not sure how to interpret the message relative to where I am on the board.
@Namchokdef, thank you
Hi @minkie! Good to see you :) Could you please give me a nudge on Level 2 Egg 1? My brain is fried.
Still stuck staring at Egg 3a and 3b of Level 7....... I can't find what was in 3a. Been going through a mini rabbit hole trying to find it at this point and might be going in a wrong path at this point, or missed something simple.
@minkie: Thanks! I got the hint from the dice, and from your comment about keeping numbers low enough, I think I may be on the right track. Still struggling, but hopefully the penny will drop soon...
@minkie : Play a bit more on the third thing in Egg 2, think simple.
Level 3 I have both good eggs and then a rotten egg from Egg 2. Not sure how to get the correct answer. Looking at prior hints hasn't helped either.
Hmmm. Now stuck on Level 2 Egg 2 :/ I found Egg 3a, but I'm not sure how to find 3b. Can't figure out how to interpret the "egg dice". Do I need to apply the dice from previous eggs in some way?
@BFS The hint that helped me was Ellie's about each being one too short. I had the same problem.
Thanks, Chael! Was looking at the right thing all along, but thought it was wrong because I wasn't getting Grannyable letters. What's the reasoning behind the "one too short" thing?
@BFS I think because we were supposed to count the beginning and ending space. Instead of starting the count after the first move.
@BFS Now when you get Level 3 throw me a hint because I am stuck on Egg 2 and getting nowhere fast (or slow) for that matter.
@Chael615 : That rotten egg from Egg 2 is very helpful, look at the text in it very closely, just minor error. :)
@Namchokdef It changes a word in the tagline but I don't see how that helps me.
teoteq A6, am stuck, tried other names for the e*******, who they were named after, who discovered them, not sure with the rotten egg is referring to since none of those seemed to work any help?
@Chael - I jumped directly from Egg 2 to the answer. No idea what Egg 1 was supposed to be. To get the answer, you need to do the same thing that got you to Egg 2, but in reverse.
Stuck on Level 5. I've read the hints but have no idea how to even start.
@robin: There is a table on Wikipedia that should help. The rotten egg tells you what you need. It's about the o*****s of the n***s of the e******s.
@BlackFiresong : A hint I got from aaaasa at around 11/13/22, 8:00 PM might help you! (Last page)
@ blackfiresong, a little confused, I tried using the names (first and last) of who they were named after, and got nothing, is there a specific wiki page that would show me what you are saying about owning?
pop moment, i kept visiting granny and got nothing,onto A7
Intro 30.5 Egg2: I must be missing something. I have tried left, right and both but not getting anything
@minkie: yes I am using wiki too but the letters I get don't make a word. I assume it should be what is on the egg mirrored on the other side, if that makes sense.
@minkie - I had a hard time trying to recognise the silhouette in level 8 egg 6 but turns out they’re probably just like holes on the f*** :)
Level 11. Can someone please give me a push to get started.
I
Stuck on Level 6. I got the rotten egg, and confirmation egg 2. I don't know what else to try. I looked at team c****s, lengths of n***s, etc. I get a good word from the n*****s of the games, but it does not yield anything.
@Linr FTF will be a good way to start.
Thank you aaaasa. Kick me now. I left out a letter before so it wouldn't anagrm. Sheesh.
Level 10 - I got a too easy rotten egg and can't think of what to do next. May I have a hint please?
TiaLuisa, the image tells you what to use.
Thank you LinR :)
@minkie -- Thanks! I checked again and I was one off on one of them. I got the other conf egg, then the second rotten egg, then finally, after much head scratching, a good egg.
I did. Some people would probably prefer for that period to be a comma.
@robin - Are you at the end of the intro levels?
Level 7 with Egg 1. Do I need to study a s****y map? I can't find anything about a w***e line.
@tialusa yes teoteq A8
Might have to just give up Level 7 for the day, don't see anything significant in 3a and 3b at all. Do I need to find out what l*** is in 3a pic? Or is it something simple? Is it p******?
@robin - on A8 did you identify everything on A8? I'm not sure what joke you are talking about.
@Namchokdef - yes you need to find the l*** first. The color and number of s***s may help.
@minkie - what’s shown on the pic? It may be helpful to know there’s a day for that.
@minkie - Those slices of pi aren't as equal as they look.
@minkie, thats what i thought, but 15 is throwing me off, so i dont think its about using the o********?
Intro 30.7 Egg 3 I used two codes to get message u** w*** ****. how to apply to eggs? do i need another word?
Real Level 3 - I don't understand how to apply Egg 1 to level. As hinted above, I've tried to Google each c****** with every possible text in level 3 and Egg 1 and URL but I am not noticing anything at all ... I need some advise please.
@robin - I understand where you are at now. You want to look back at what got you to T.E.O..... to find a key for the B side.
@Hancock - I think you know where to look now, so this last will be easy. You have the same number of l*****s per egg as you do f*** per line. So line everything up and make a choice. If it doesn't work out, make the other choice.
@tia, thank you...life saver
@Puzzled - I think that egg was there to make sure we understood what we needed to do with the level page. It gives you a little more information and if you put the r*** t**** in the URL you'll get an r egg telling you as much
@tialuisa - yes I got the rotten as well. So now I have all the t***** (2 per f***) and c******** ... and I don't know what to do now :/
@Puzzled - What you did to the mist****s, to get egg 1, do the same to the r*** t***** to get egg 2.
@aaaasa and @minkie : Thank you so much! You won't believe how long that took. The s**** hint does it for me, not sure why the branching bit counts. I've not found any images that match 3a to help at all.
Onto Level 8......... maybe later... been looking for many stuff that if I got dropped there I probably would be able to navigate.....
Level 11 egg - I've been googling trying to find the connection between the level page and the items on the egg page. Unsuccessful so far. Could use a hint please
@tialuisa - I'm puzzled (what else?) because I've tried that already several times and getting nothing which means I must have wrong names for the g*** f**** ... I believe I've rechecked those names like 1000 times already. Oh my, I have to review my data again. Thank you! At least I know what to do now :)
@tialuisa - they're in the same order as the ones on the level page. A good start would be to search w/l together with the third one on the main level list and the top results should give you an idea what this is about
@aaaasa - Thank you! That is one of the things I was suspecting, but googling just egg words with cu*****y had netted nothing,
Any hint on 13?
Just have one rotten egg told me consider about c*******
But couldn't pick anything related to this category
I'm stuck on Level 10 Egg. I know what the egg is referring to and I've found all of them but I don't know what information to use to pick. Is there another egg to find?
@Puffin - are you on level 10 or level 11? If you mean level 11 egg, then some counting may help.
Meanwhile I'm here with others on level 13 :/ A stuck party again maybe?
Level 12 : Stuck with mot much of a clear idea. Seen past hints about searching what was in the pic together with something. Is this related to their p**t?
@Namchokdef - not sure which p**t you are referring to but all you need is written in the pic.
Thanks, @Namchokdef and @aaaasa for the hint on Level 5! I got to the egg. Applying the same technique on the top letters gets me a good word from Granny, but it doesn't work. I must be missing something, but I'm not sure what.
Never mind. I had slightly misread and just needed to tweak the word! Onto Level 6 now.
Level 6 - I got the 2 confirmation eggs, the rotten egg, and a good egg. I'm not able to interpret what to do from here. Tried various bits with the text in red on the egg, but nothing yields anything.
Did it!!! That took a while to come to me. Hint for anyone else who gets stuck on Level 6 egg - the text in red and what the guy is saying are BOTH significant.
@BFS are you on the l**** egg?
It told you to use s**** of l****
It seems like level 13 is a stuck party again
OUT of ideas
@BFS -- You need half of what got you to the egg page, as well as something from the egg page itself. He is giving you a strong hint.
@BFS -- maybe now you can help me here on Level 7. I am stuck with an egg. I have tried several things, but cannot get anything meaningful.
@aaaasa : Well, perhaps I was overcomplicating things. I have tried searching for all the stuff in the pic, and it seems to somewhat fit what is hinted in the p** n*** except one, all seems to be in but this is out. This might be another case of fried brain.
@sevenfar: Yes - it took me a while to realise that!!
Now stuck on Level 7 Egg 1. I've read the hint from minkie to Laurie about looking at Wiki, but I can't find anything pertinent. I've tried Grannying only the legit ones, adding the egg word, etc etc.
@Laurie: Are you also stuck on Level 7 Egg 1? I'm totally mystified.
@Laurie W and BlackFiresong : Try what the egg suggested to another stuff instead of messing with it.
@BFS -- yes. I've tried looking up the locations of what the egg page seems to hint at, but I can't get a good word. The info I find is inconsistent. Some of what is in the egg seems not to exist. I don't have a clue what to do next.
@Namchokdef: Thank you!!!! That worked.
I start to wonder if there's a typo on level 13 lol
@BFS -- can you give me a hint? What "other stuff" does Namchokdef refer to?
@minkie what do you notice on level 13?
@Laurie: You need the level page as well.
I'm stuck on Level 8. Got all the way to Egg 7 with no issues and now have no idea what to do.
@BFS you've got everything you need
Thanks, Keeper - I was majorly overcomplicating things!
Just arrived and saw that there's a stuck party on lvl 13. Not sure where it is.
Jic it's on the main level: the rotten eggs are hints to what you need
@Namnet - I have the rotten eggs and tried converting, picking and counting e******s in the pic and the text, but nothing seems to work :/
@Namnet yes I Know it is related to c********
But Tried many ways to pick letters
All couldn't get a proper word
Ah great, Namnet :)
Meaning you solved the level part of the level, right?
So... Keeper?
Ready to eat humble pie?
Keeper 11/15/22, 4:18 AM
I start to wonder if there's a typo on level 13 lol
I don't do mistakes :P
joking :)
Lvl 13: They are co*****ds, just like water
@S-T: yes, on 3c
Very well done, Namnet :)
Level 11 egg - I know the common theme/how they all link to the level page, but I have no idea what counting to do? The values involved are too high for counting.
Still staring at Level 12, not understanding what connects the stuffs together that the p** n*** hint suggested. I might be super fried to still not getting it.
@Namnet - hmmm do I need 1 c******d for each row or pick from each row to form a c******d? Not seeing it either way as the numbers seems way too big :/
@Namchokdef - did you notice the various n***s in the p**? :) the one in the center may be easier to find I think.
@aaaasa: Your first thought is correct. Pick once you have them
@aaaasa : Yup, definitely a overcooked fried..... Thank you, I see it now. Going to join the 13 party soon.
Ty Namnet
Finally on 13 egg1
I passed the exam! But seem to be the only one stuck at Level 1. I know what to do but don't know where to apply it...
@BFS - Hello! Counting will certainly give you an edge at solving this one.
@Namnet - Thanks so much! Finally past 13 now :)
@Esteban - you have an egg, right?
Still not seeing how to form the c******ds on the main page :(
@tialuisa no egg... Just the Level 1 :(
Now I have the egg... Just had to ask. But still stuck
@aaaasa on 13 egg3c
Just got a rotten egg here
Could it strands for other things?
@Keeper - think about how you can describe each row using just the ends. Some c*******s may not be familiar to you so google definitely helps :)
@sevenfar - I would say the egg is both rotten and not rotten. Think about the theme of the level.
Level 13 : People seems to have no trouble getting 3b and 3c........ I only found 3a, can I get some small hints?
@Namchokdef - look everywhere on the egg for next hint.
@esteban - Think of how the URL could help you make 2 new words from the egg.
@tialuisa - Thank you! It eventually clicked for me through scrutinising some earlier comments. But I LOVE your hint - very cleverly expressed :)
Now on the famous Level 13. Lots of people seem to have had trouble with this one, so I'm hoping the comments will be helpful when I inevitably get stuck!
@aaaasa : Ah, thank you, I found the thing......
......what even is this thing........ doesn't look like anything at all.... Might need a bit more shove..... Tried every simple ways on this thing but haven't worked so far....
@aaaasa thanks! Stuck at 3c without any rotten egg yet. Got a few good words (3c alone or 3a/b/c combined) but none of them worked.
@Namchokdef - Have you asked Google our good friend? :)
@keeper: at the same place.
For the rotten egg: look everywhere
Stuck on intro level 30.4 egg 2: first thought it was again related to P******* T**** but nope. Help please?
@Eric911: your first thought is correct
I'm also stuck at Level 13 with eggs 3a, 3b, 3c and a rotten egg. Not sure how to proceed. I thought of removing letters by reading the egg 3c URL word a little differently, but that hasn't got me very far.
@Namnet: wow! But 2 of them don't seem to be listed in it. So tried to use them "untranslated" but gave only gibberish.
@aaaasa still on the egg 3c
Didn't understand how the rotten egg is also not a rotten egg
I just know it is a silly name
@sevenfar - check out egg 1a back in Intro 4 and you will know what I mean :)
@aaaasa: Well spotted!!! So the rotten egg isn't so rotten after all. Still have no idea how to use it, though...
What?? Still have egg 3e???
@Keeper: You have an egg 3e?? Did you get past 3c?
@keeper 3e?How to pass 3c?
Stuck on the silly name
hello... level 13... i can't find the other word to have the egg... i've read the previous clues but i don't understand... a little help? Thank you
Hey @molly! Do you mean the 2 words to find egg 1? One is found from combining the numbers and lists on the level page. The other one is even simpler than that, but you basically just have to stare at the level pic until it jumps out at you.
@sevenfar: I'm right with you on the silly name. Please let me know if you figure it out, and I'll do the same if I do!
BlackFiresong.. thanks.. but I'm in the intro
Still stuck on 30.4 egg 2, tried some variations with the 2 strange ones but no luck. I know it should be straight but it's not!
Oh sorry! Intro Level 13 - "look down" (at your k*******d) and observe how the emoji shown became the word written directly underneath it. Apply that same shift to the level text.
@Eric: If I recall correctly, just convert as per the level theme, but in the opposite direction to what you did to get from Egg 1 to Egg 2. Make sure you convert everything on the sign before taking to Granny!
Level 17 - Got the egg but not sure how to use the s***** of g***** :/
@aaaasa: Wow, Level 17!? Please help us poor mortals who are stuck at Level 13 Egg 3c and the not-so-rotten egg.
@BFS - remember the theme of the level? Google can answer what’s so special about the egg if you don’t know :)
Intro 30.9 Egg 2, i found each series and applied the respective number sets to each (looked at those that matched and those that didn't). i keep getting jibberish. do i need to do some adding or continuation of the series?
@aaaasa: I know the egg 3a/b/c words and the rotten egg all have unusual/funny names. Beyond that, I don't really know how to combine or change them to move forward. Do I need to find alternative names for each of them? Or start looking into the m*******r s*******e of each of the c*******s? :/
@BFS - forget about 3a/3b/3c and just focus on the rotten one for now.
I can see comments in my mail (you all can, notify me box bottom right where you type) and there a comment that's not here!!???
BlackFiresong has left a new comment on the post "SMALL TOOL GAME: A Big Small Mind Game":
@Hancock: I fell into the same trap as you on that egg. It's not about which ones match and which don't. It's exactly like the previous egg - consider what's on each person's list as p*s*t***s, not as n*****s, and pick the _th entries of each s*q****e.
@aaaasa: I've Googled and read several articles about the c******d in question and I can't figure out anything special about it without getting extremely technical.
That's so strange! I posted that reply to Hancock, but you're right, it's not published! Maybe it didn't like all my asterisks or something, lol!
@minkie - I'm always so glad when you and I are at the same point in these riddles! Hopefully the penny will drop for us both soon.
@BFS - did you know there’s a c******d often associated with rotten eggs (not the url of the rotten egg)?
@BFS thank you!
Oh wow. I would never have thought of trying that. Thanks, @aaaasa. I've now unlocked Egg 3e. I'm even more baffled than before, but at least I have something new to ponder over now...
So sorry Minkie.
I should have thought of that.
Too late for you but I will make a 'British spelling' egg.
@BFS Level 3 - Not sure what you mean to do it in reverse. I have tried translating the n**** back and forth and I am getting nowhere.
@Chael - You got the egg by finding the original t****s from the t********d ones. The egg then shows an original t***e and indicates which c*****y to focus on. So you have to go backwards and look for what it was called over there.
Now on Level 13 Egg 3f. I tried interpreting the pic in a few different ways, and one of them almost kinda sorta spelled something, but no joy :/
13 egg 3f
Another time to be foolish
No result with searching for this
Giving up for the day at Level 13 Egg 3f :( Can't think of anything else to try.
thank you very much for the hints,..done!!
Now stuck on 30.4 egg 3 and hints don't help so far. Think I need a good break.
There's a British spelled version of level 13 egg 3e now.
Again; I'm very sorry, Minkie.
And I feel a bit silly now.
Making Intro level 30.6 (and way later you will see me bragging even more about me using British) and then not spelling this egg correctly!
Ah well, it seems I do make mistakes :)
Anyway, you earned a hint as reward Minkie, but...
use that hint very wisely! Read as; not too soon
Because it won't be easy (like, e.g. level 13) anymore near the end :P
Level 3 - I have found what the movie is called in the c****** hinted at by the text. But it is not giving me anything that is moving me forward.
@Chael: Have you found the egg? If not: use a basic riddle technique on the text. The egg will tell you what you need to find.
Level 2, I read all the hints but cant even get and egg with my counting, am i supposed to be climbing up the l******? i have been doing that but not sure what i am supposed to count, tried counting squares i dont land on but not getting the message , going numerically..... any hints as to what i am missing?
@aaaasa sorry yes it was level 11. Got it now. Thanks!!
@robin: Follow the dice in order like you're playing the game, going up and down as required.
I made it past Level 13!!! But I'm now stuck on Level 14 with 2 eggs.
@Robin You are supposed to be climbing and sliding according to the board. Count as you go
@BFS - Just curious, how many eggs are there beyond 3f?
Lol, level 14 has no eggs at all :P
I guess you're on level 15 with 2 eggs, right?
@Chael: Did you translate it with Google Translate? Try Googling what that m**** was named in that place instead. You'll know when you have the right thing because it will be similar to the ones you saw on the level page.
Level 3 - I am getting a four word phrase but it is getting me nowhere. I have tried translating it back and still not getting anything useful.
Oooops, yes, I meant Level 15. Level 14 was so short that I forgot about it :D
@Chael - four word phrase seems right. Not sure why it isn't working for you. There is a very similar phrase that gives you a rotten egg that basically tells you the answer.
@tialuisa - there is Egg 3g and then Egg 4.
Thank you BFS :)
@BFS The four word phrase is how I got the rotten egg. The English translation is not giving me anything though.
@BFS I also got the same rotten egg with another word for the t****.
Level 3 - So I have a four word foreign phrase that is not translating to an answer or anything I can granny.
1 (after egg 1) and 4 (after egg 2) rotten eggs on level 3
Oh gosh I missed a lot. Thanks BB. I'd better stay off this board :(
I have made it to the top, climbing/sliding, just not sure what i am supposed to count now, do i count the squares between climbing and sliding i didnt use?
Level 3 - The rotten egg is suggesting that I need to use an English translation but nothing is working. I have translated the 4 word foreign phrase to English and tried to granny it and go FTF on it but it's not working. Am I doing something wrong or is my translation wrong? I have been stuck on this level forever.
Can I get help on how to start Level 3? I think I understand that it's f**** of different c******* and I know which they are but no idea how to go on from there. Tried picking letters in various ways but no luck so far.
Chael - I think you need to try the literal English version of the four-word phrase you have.
@Robin Picture a staircase
Level 16 - I have 4 eggs and have translated some text. I think the translation is basically s-t saying I've been fooled. So I'm stuck now, lol.
Level 13 EGG 3e, I don't see what to use as a clue.
Lol, you're not going anywhere Tialuisa :P
can't watch you if you're not here :D
@Jay - Google each phrase with the c*****y of the f*** it's written on. You'll start to see a pattern emerging and will know what to do.
@BFS: Many thanks! Would never have thought about that ...
Another BlackFiresong not posted, but not posted!!!??
BlackFiresong has left a new comment on the post "SMALL TOOL GAME: A Big Small Mind Game":
@Help: The clue for the next one is hidden in a different place on every egg. I actually found the one on 3e by accident because I closed the page and then had to reopen it from the Recently Closed tabs menu. That should maybe give you a little clue about where to look.
BlackFiresong has left a new comment on the post "SMALL TOOL GAME: A Big Small Mind Game":
@Chael - huh - I just replied to your comment and EG24 ate it again. Must be due to the number of asterisks or something? Anyway, basically if you Google "m***e name n*t**n*l**y t****", Google should give you the phrase you need at the very top.
(@S-T - let me know if I should delete this afterwards for being too spoilery).
BlackFiresong has left a new comment on the post "SMALL TOOL GAME: A Big Small Mind Game":
@Chael: Try Googling " "_____ t****" (the _____ being the n****n****y you are considering). Google should give you a phrase at the very top that will give you a rotten egg and basically tell you what to change to get the real answer.
(@s-t - let me know if this comment is too spoilery and I will delete.)
Trying again in the hope that my comments will now appear...
