Well, I've found another online puzzle and I am almost certain I'm going to need some borrowed brain power to manuever through this puppy.

Puzzle is found here: http://zestriddle.fanzine.pl/

It's best viewed in IE. You're supposed to use the picture, music, source code and google to figure out the title.

http://zestriddle.fanzine.pl/zest_riddle/one.htm

So once you figure out the title for #1 you replace "one" with the new title.

And that will bring you to #2.

I'm currently on #3.

Join me!

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Sweet. I got number 3. Damn that one took a lot of brain thinkin.

Anyone else joining in the great fight?

-'rilla

[Pizzaman]

Cool, I got 1 and when on two I skipped to four, haven't seen 3 yet

[a500lbgorilla]

You sob! #3 had me goin for a while.

I'm havin trouble reading the bottom line of four.

Top line in white.

"I can hear only one word... one word."

EDIT: Got it!

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Alright. I've figured out the trick for number 4.

But I can't decipher the one word I need.

Hint: Copy and paste the picture into paint.

EDIT: Got it!

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Uh. #5 is apparently two parts. I got the first part that sort of moves you to a new picture still labeled #5 and related to the first part.

-'rilla

[eeeee]

I'm still stuck on three. Is it in the font?


WAIT -- got it!

[a500lbgorilla]

I got the second part of 5.

Damnit I am so clever!



-'rilla

[eeeee]

I got the second part of 5.

Damnit I am so clever!



-'rilla

I'm right behind you -- second part of 5

[a500lbgorilla]

6 is blowing my mind. I don't even know how to approach this one.

-'rilla

I've been doing my research and I have found out there are 50 parts to it.

Me? I'm stuck on part 3.

I got number 4! Clue is in my avatar.

[eeeee]

Still on 2nd part of 5 -- any clues? Have anything to do with "rimror", or is that a "misspell"?

[a500lbgorilla]

Yah: the letters underneathe a line of the appropriate color should be "viewed through a mirror"

Still have no idea on how to approach 6.

-'rilla

-'rilla

Been trying all sorts of combos on 5(2) -- pidoniotarmreliplli , rilpiarddo, oddraiplird -- doean't really make sense to me. I think I'll start working at work again.

[a500lbgorilla]

           IP
MOOD      SIN
  TOWN DRAMA
      WILL PILAR

Line up the colors and invert the words.

Ex: MOOD is now MODO


Come to #6 and HEEEEEELP!

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Noooooo! I got #6 only to be lead to #6(6)!

#6 was painfully obvious after I put my glasses on.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Anyone still fighting the good fight?

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Hahah, damn. Got 6(6) and now I'm on 6(66)

g00t times.

-'rilla

[eeeee]

Anyone still fighting the good fight?

-'rilla

Choo!Choo! 6(6) witcha


What are you looking at now? Want more.....?

[a500lbgorilla]

I'm on 6(66)

-'rilla

[eeeee]

I'm on 6(66)

-'rilla

sick

EDIT -- Me Too - 6(66)!

Now on 7 --


Try using a paint bucket

[a500lbgorilla]

Alright. I'm gonna have to start my homework and come back to this. I've got too much shizzle to do to waste much more time on this today.

-'rilla

[eeeee]

-'rilla

Well, while you went and got productive, 'rilla, I've wasted an additional hour on 7.
I tried:

• "deadly/sevens.htm"
  "deadly/sevens.html"
  "deadly/sevensins.htm"
  "deadly/sevensins.html"
  "deadly/seven_sins.htm"
  "deadly/seven_sins.html"
  "deadly/SEVEN_sins.html"
  "deadly/SEVEN_sins.htm"
  "deadly/seven-sins.htm"
  "deadly/seven-sins.html"
  "sevensins.htm"
  "sevensins.html"
  "sins.htm"
  "sins.html"
  "sloth.htm"
  "sloth.html"
  and Googled a site (3rd one down, "list seven deadly sins") that said "Seven Deady Sins Revealed"

and more and more variations. No help. Stuck.
I think my attack lacks elegance.
PM me when you're back on it, K?

[AvatarKava]

Edit: 7!

[AvatarKava]

Hint for ee:

The beginning directions say to never use any uppercase. Also, make sure you're using .jpg as the picture indicates - NOT .html or .htm

[AvatarKava]

[Grand_MasterB]

[a500lbgorilla]

A-hole!

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

I'm on 8 as well.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Got 8. That took me all of 5 mins.

I got real luck. Just saw something, tried it and it worked.

I am teh luck box.

Hint: Focus on oz. The answer is 3 words.

-'rilla

[Grand_MasterB]

I cant get four!!! right away when i saw it i knew what to do but i cant find the word to put in the URL!!! This is so frustrating

[a500lbgorilla]

Got 9.

Taking a break. I've got the classworks and the foods that need to be taken care of...

-'rilla

[AvatarKava]

I cant get four!!! right away when i saw it i knew what to do but i cant find the word to put in the URL!!! This is so frustrating

Hint: it's more than one word

[Grand_MasterB]

Well when trying to solve 4 it took me to another page... but not 5...i dont even think its a riddle page...did anyone else find this?


Still cant get 4...im retarded

[AvatarKava]

A lot of "near miss" guesses will take you to a page that either offers another hint or tells you you're close.

Still cant get 4...im retarded

Add another word after the word you're probably using. It's something that makes sense (and you would expect to hear) after the first word you've chosen. They go together if you look at the context.

Side note. On 10, bitch.

[Molinero]

Ran into the following problem: can't seem to view this "source code" to which you refer. Don't get that option when I right-click. Help!

[a500lbgorilla]

In IE, go view>source.

-'rilla

[Molinero]

#3 kickin my butt

[a500lbgorilla]

Is that the oz one?

List all the clues you know.

Number 10 I got. But clue in the first song. The trouble was applying that one. I tried endless and finally got it.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Class always ruins my puzzle time!

-'rilla

[Sed]

Any hints for the second part of 5? I must be messing up the mirroring part of it somehow...

[a500lbgorilla]

When I mirrored it, I think I did it wrong too.

But I saw where it was going.

Pilar was the one I don't believe I mirrored right.

But from the rest, I kinda knew what he was trying to spell.

Just post what you've got so far from the mirroring with the [code][/code stuff.

[a500lbgorilla]

Sed, that's exactly what I got but I extracted from that a word.

[a500lbgorilla]

Someone better have their ass on 12 by the time I get back from class.

I, again, don't even know how to approach it.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

I think I'm really close to getting 12. I just can't get there.

And I'm driving myself mad.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

I am going to quit life if I can't get 12.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Ugh, I just need a fuggin clue.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Well, I'd like to apologize to everyone.

I will be unable to look at hand history or HE Strat posts until I get this one.

[a500lbgorilla]

Are you on 6(6)?

you just need to consult the source.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

I got it!

I'm free!

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

How many 6-digit comination codes are there? Just taking 6 random numbers and putting them in a specific order.

Logically it should be 999999 right?

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Hahaha.

I managed to walk right into a puzzle in 4 demensions.

Now what chapter of my calc book talks about hypercubes...

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

15 was a really clever and fun puzzle.

Unlike 14, everything you need is there. Vague, but there.

Well, everything except for your calcbook...

[a500lbgorilla]

Got 16.

Took me... a while.

I spent a long time doing research on dorothy.

Big hints to save you all a lot of time

It looks exactly like no.3 (deeper.htm). There is a corolation between the letters.

The positions of the dots is important

Spelling words with only glowing letters from 16 is a waste. You *think* you're getting somewhere but you're not.

The major question is "what is dorothy."

You need some background on the story and here's what it is...

Dorothy is visiting OZ.

Relate the glowing letters and the dots to the letters on no.3 and use my background should click with what you've got.

There. Saved you some time. Kinda ruins it a bit though.

17 can wait for another day.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

I'm stuck on 20.

I've found a secret file that needs edited.

I downloaded GIMP but I'm having troubles figuring out how to work it and what exactly I need to do.

Any GIMP/Photoshop buffs wanna lend a helping hand?

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Anybody near 20?

-'rilla

[Sykedupp]

Anybody near 20?

I think within the next few days im gonna start #1 :P

[eeeee]

Stuck on seven (2) with the red N.

[a500lbgorilla]

pm me the url and I'll give you a hint.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

Someone... must... be near 20.

I needs the help.

I'm almost certain I've found every clue. I just need to crack it.

-'rilla

[eeeee]

I'm hung up on Dorothy's Sin / 16 -- I see 'orphan', but don't see how the other four letters fit.

[a500lbgorilla]

I got 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!



Hint for 16

Dorothy is visiting OZ. I don't remember exactly how to get the answer becuase it's been awhile. But I remember that this is the answer.

What is Dorothy?

Orphan _.

Super mega huge hint but not quite answer in pm inbox for 16.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

22 hurts my brain.

Gaht Dahm eeeee, catch up with me so we can bounce some damned ideas around!

There are a million ways to run with this riddle.

I've actually consulted their forums for clues.

-'rilla

[a500lbgorilla]

""it involves a certain knowledge of how to represent colours as letters on a computer""

Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

EDIT

I used an image editor to get these following names

ff00ff
eee001
00aa01
rrrrrr
0ee0ed
f0f0f0
0fff00
100eee

I got it.

That forum is gold covered in layers and layers of confusing bullshit.

But it helped me get it.

And now I'm pissed off.

That was... horrible.

Everything needed is in my previous post.
