I came across this link from a forum for students at my University. Apparently its a riddle, and the first one to complete all the steps wins money. Whether this is true or not I'm not that concerned with, but what bothers me is he's stuck on the 15th step and I can't even figure out the 1st. I guess I just don't think in the right mindset to answer "riddle" type questions. Anyway have a go if you want - http://www.languid.net/nr/

heh yeah, don't think about it too much and just "read" it :)

The first part was so simple it almost evaded me. Its simplicity is what makes it difficult. Like Poert said, just read it and literally do what it asks. That should be more than enough of a clue

Yeah, that first step is tricky, but I did it.:D

Hint: You have to type in two words - nuff said.;)

I guess after you've done a couple of these it gets easier. The thing to remember is that it is a riddle, and therefore trying to confuse you. Also, all the clues have to be on the page, so thats another clue also.:grinthumb

oh 2 words? it just said enter a word, which I took as 1 word. Yes I did understand it was a riddle, but it really screws you up when you enter just 1 word and you are supposed to enter 2. I figured the answer was within that last paragraph.

So I guess you've got it now SNGX. The second riddle is VERY easy, once you've noticed the type of tricks that are played in Q1. :p

MARTH7,

I'm stuck on the third one (insects).

I've tried all the anagrams I can think up, but no luck.

How about a clue?

MARTH7
04-02-2003, 07:35 PM
Let's say he imports, and he likes tiny, tiny insects that live in hills.

Could you give me a clue on Stage 1 Part 2 plz???

coldpower27
04-02-2003, 11:40 PM
never mind i solved it;) now I am working on stage 1 part 3. wish me luck

Nic
04-03-2003, 05:33 AM
Thanks MARTH7, I've got it now.;)

The clue line is a fake to throw you off the trail by thinking up anagrams (word play) for that line. Very sneaky. If you get caught up with the fake *clue*, then you'll never solve it.

MARTH7
04-03-2003, 03:40 PM
Take the instructions more literally...what word do you remove the third letter from to get longer?

The only root that is getting wet is my brain. Any hints on the root water question? Thanks

MARTH7
04-03-2003, 05:18 PM
Once again, for the water one take it more litterally...What root could it be talking about???

The state of Britain? I have no clue......anyone?

cogenmaster
04-04-2003, 10:30 AM
All those are movies at least that is what i found on google. I think i will quit on this one, taking up entirely to much of my time.

schizoid77
04-04-2003, 11:13 AM
yeah, I know they're all movies....but they represent certain numbers...and I can't find a movie referencing the State of Britain with a # in the title as well....oh well.....
Other ones that are tough are;

You???

Number of Magnificent AND the number of the famous ones as well.....I know it's 7 but what are the famous ones?

RIP Race.....Deathrace 2000 maybe????

And interstellar affair set in which year again?

Vicious Circle

WOOOOOO! this is a great way to pass time at work.....frustrating as hell, but it's almost lunch time already

MARTH7
04-04-2003, 06:01 PM
Sorry I didn't reply quicker....Had to wipe my hard drive clean because it thought i didn't have a video card...anyway:
For 1-4 think about it....what is a common name for a female horse? (generally speaking) and don't forget that he only rides it at night....its a pun on words..

MARTH7

I own two time pieces. They both serve a special purpose, for one has the least number of parts, while at the same time the other time piece has the most number of parts. Tell me the two in that order


I've tried everything I can think of. I've looked at the picture.

http://nr.wireplay.co.uk/themes/NR/Piece%20of%20Time.jpg

I've tried plays on reversing hands of the clock etc. I'm confused and want the next question!!!

Please, please help! I'm getting seriously frustrated at my apparent level of stupidity here!

Spike

Spike
01-26-2004, 04:54 PM
OK!!!!

Now I'm stuck! (again!) If there's anybody out there, I could really do with some help!

I'm on 1.10, the one with the security code. Nothing I type seems to be right!!!!!!

Spike
01-27-2004, 02:54 AM
Yay! lol

I've made it all the way to 1.48.

Maybe I am a complete idiot, but I am having way too much trouble with this.

Any help?

Think along the lines of shadows for the first, and the 'sands of time' for the latter.
