Zyphrax Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 What's the current puzzle we are trying to solve? Could you add that to the start post, the clock is ticking ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostrad Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 What's the current puzzle we are trying to solve? Could you add that to the start post, the clock is ticking ;) Just understood it while reading the updated info, the image posted to the IEBlog is a key when connected with the images that we got from other places and if you follow the instructions. As there are three images and all have been solved there is currently no puzzle left to solve. Either we need to find more of those images with instructions to what to do to the characters or we need to figure out more what they're advertising about :).

Zyphrax Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) On the Flicker website we see a picture of her standing in front of a painting. Could the painting be another key-clue? The painting might show another pattern of symbols to select from the code (where the left painting is the left half, and the right painting the right half). http://www.flickr.com/photos/inzenity/331725682/ Hmmm.. something like: 00000000001111110000 11110000001111110000 11110001110000000000 Edited December 24, 2006 by Zyphrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace1and11 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I guess I'm missing something... what does Rot -1 or Rot +4 mean????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episode Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 We definatelly need to check BOTH Google and Live search... And we need to go back to the wh0isl0ki puzzle! This is one of the hardest puzzles ever... I don't think that the biography has much to do with the puzzles... It's are all puzzles starting from one point (the first image on IEBlog) and ending with a clue... None of them goes further... That puzzle is SOLVED. Ignore the letters for now. Use the greater than and less than symbols, and solve it like a sudoku. After you are done, use the corresponding letters to the number in the corner. Both versions work, the second is easier because it spells 'biography' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLegg Developer Posted December 24, 2006 Developer Share Posted December 24, 2006 I guess I'm missing something... what does Rot -1 or Rot +4 mean????????? Simply shift the letters along: ROT 0 : ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ROT 4 : EFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCD to solve ROT +4 go from top line to bottom, to solve ROT -4 go from bottom to top Obviously, for ROT 1, you need a different line that only shifts the letters one place along.

yakumo Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 from an amazon review of the book in the video Herodotus was born in Halicarnassus and lived from 484 until 429 B.C. These dates are approximate.The History of Herodotus is divided into nine 'books' (we would speak of chapters) each with a name of one of the nine Muzes: book 1 is Cleio, book 2 is Euterpe, book 3 is Thaleia, book 4 is Melpomene, book 5 is Terpsichore, book 6 is Erato, book 7 is Polymnia, book 8 Ourania and book 9 Calliope. Their names were given at random without a link to the content of each book. Scholars believe that it wasn't Herodotus who used these names but that it was done probably by an unknown copyist from the Hellenistic period (+- 300-200 B.C.). if that gives anyone any leeds... bold emphasis mine.

mad_onion Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 i think we might have found it all for the moment from the sounds of it some stuff will be revealed on the 8th but it also sounds like it could get more complicated on the 8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yakumo Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 He means the colours are the same order as the 360 pad - Yellow, Red, Blue and Green ah I see, I was just about to say they are wrappers, you can see more of the wrapped chocolates on the trolley next to the silver platter :) there's still more to this 'vanishingpoint tag' thing... did anyone try XBL in the end? I can see how it relates to the golden curve, a downward spiral ever approaching 0, vanishing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
