change the question to 3rd-person and present tense and then think about/google it.


hint for doing the above: she is female.

well, if you take the sentence, change it to 3rd-person (female) and present-tense, you get song lyrics.

When you first start to pop, you can't stop!

Since I haven't popped yet and only done some light riddling, I'm going to stop before I pop, and can't stop, to pop. Hm..

2.3... giv help

 

[Pin]

Well, if anyone is as engrossed in these as I am I'll help with clues, etc, but aren't going to just give answers cos I think that'll spoil a lot of them.

Some of the ones in this stage have been rediculously stupid though and I've needed to read other forums for clues myself. (wtf would I know about egyptian mythology?!?!? )


Anyway.... here's 2.27:

CONGRATULATIONS! STAGE 2 PART 26 PASSED!

A man is not at ease with the world as when he is working, and this was what this man had been doing. As he stared out of the window at the first flakes of the winter his ears pricked up at the sound of his phone ringing. Pulling a few wood chippings from his hair he bounded up the cellar stairs to the kitchen. He almost tripped avoiding a spider on the last step which seemingly had a deathwish. As he went through the hall he looked at the pictures of his fathers, and his father's father and his father's father's father all sporting ginger beards. He reached the blue phone and picked up the receiver and said :

'Hello'

'Speaking'

'Yes - ?'

'Tomorrow is fine'

'Okay see you then'

At the end of the conversation he laughed and smiled. After he replaced the receiver he looked at the mantelpiece a picture had fallen. He replaced the picture of his dog next to the picture of his cat and what appeared to be an almost completely black picture with some sort of vague animal outline just visible. He looked at his bright green sofa and thought about watching some TV and just relaxing but changed his mind as he caught sight of his desk covered in important invoices from abroad. And decided to go back to his cellar that he had converted into a furniture workshop.



Unlike 1.27 this is honestly NOT a literal riddle as in I say 'this is a red-line riddle' and the answer is 'this is a red-line'. Net Riddle tries certain tricks a few times then just stops. So anyway that is your passage above now all you have to do is work out what the man said in the ?'

Now send your answer to : nr222@hotmail.com (put the answer in the subject line or your mail will be counted as incorrect, even if you say the correct answer somewhere in the body of the txt. Once again say anything you fancy in the text.)

IMPORTANT only one entry per person, if you send multiple entries before receiving a reply then all your entries will be deleted. All entries will have to wait a MINIMUM of 3 days before receiving a reply to discourage you from thinking to fast and guessing. Think about it, think about it some more, then a tiny bit more, then send your answer.

Good luck.

I have an answer myself, but the whole 1-try-per-3-days thing is making me hold off sending it in just yet.... ho-hum

simply google 1701 (if you aren't a geek)



edit: google is your friend for many, many, many of these (if you know how to use it).

 

[old.shotgunstow]

I did, but there are so many answers and I'm not sure which one is the one I think it is the War of the SPanish Succession. Am I correct in that?

Grr nothing to do with the bloody war. Bloody star trek!!

If I danced in the sand, if I was a bird of paradise and if I knew I was something special, I would be?

If she danced in the sand, if she was a bird of paradise and if she knew something was special, she would be?

This gives nothing from google :/

well, you have 2 parts to do... the first is to crack the code, the second is to work out what the fuck the decoded message is about.


Both parts are complete sods, so...

write the letters (including spaces) in a circle, and use the numbers (in some way) to step around the wheel.

edit: this was the best way I could think of doing it, but you don't have to do it like this

 

[nicci]

found another way
at 2.12 now
