Gosh why do I suck at logic puzzles?

 

@will_holmes:

 

 

 

I cant follow you:

"If Bentnose broke the window, he is lying and therefore didn't break the window, so the paradox rules him out." - Okay, so far I understand.

"If Mudknuckles broke the window, then Wartface broke the window." -WTF? Why?

 

 

For me, it makes sense when everyones telling the truth except Bentnose. Midknuckles and Wartface can both tell the truth. And Wartface can tell the truth too, cause Grubfoot doesnt deny he broke it!

The puzzle tell us only 1 goblin did the damage. And that whoever did the damage MUST be lying (ergo saying the opposite of the truth).

Grubfoot said (paraphrased) Bentnose did not break the window.

If we assume Grubfoot broke the window, the puzzle tells us he MUST be lying so his comment becomes "Bentnose broke the window"

So with the assumption Grubfoot is lying as he broke the window we end up with the truth Bentnose broke the window.

But only 1 goblin did the damage, so Bentnose broke the window CANNOT be true if Grubfoot did do it; which means Grubfoot cannot of done it.

 

The same applies to Mudknuckles, he said Wartface did not do it.

If we assume he broke the window and is therefore lying his comment becomes Wartface did do it.

Again only 1 did the damage so it cannot be true Wartface did it if Mudknuckles did it.

 

 

Yeah and to the above guy Megan is the one you want.

Note the clue said the girl had DARK hair; Dark hair refers to dark browns and black not red hair. Lucy does not have dark hair.

Glad this is back. I enjoyed it the first time. Puzzles aren't too hard, but they make you think a little.

Chapter 4 - "Between a Rock Crab and a hard place"

Day 4 of the Cryptic Clue Fest

 

 

 

 

...After solving the clues on the tiles I knew I would need to do some research in the city of Falador and Megan told me that she had hidden another clue in Falador castle.

 

I had discovered that Megan was the granddaughter of one of the secret society members and the task of protecting the great secret had fallen to her. She seemed trustworthy and I needed the help.

 

She led me to the majestic Falador castle and to the top of one of the towers. There a statue of a knight looked out over the city.

 

Here, help me with this Megan asked, a cheeky smile spread across her face.

 

She began pulling at a stone engraving on the base of the statue, as I helped we pulled it away to reveal a thin sheet of bronze hidden beneath the engraving.

 

However, as I started to investigate the relief, the trapdoor leading to the tower flung open and emerging from it was a rather mild-mannered man in a hideously coloured shirt.

 

The secret will be ours he hissed, pulling out the wicked looking dagger from a hidden sheath. He was the same man who had tried to kill us in Varrock, somehow he had found us.

 

We were trapped again, with nowhere to run. As the killer advanced on us, I glanced over the edge of the tower and thought of a daring escape plan.

 

Do you trust me? I bellowed at Megan, her faint nod was enough to encourage my actions.

 

Grabbing her arm I jumped off the side of the tower, the rush of air from falling was shocking, but nowhere near as shocking as the cold water of the moat surrounding the castle. I pulled Megan with me, desperately swimming to reach the side and clambered out.

 

When we finally reached safety, I examined the bronze sheet we had discovered;

 

 

 

The secret writ, the tomes protected.

In Wise Mans library they sit undetected.

Each line, word, and letter in ciphers pen,

The mysterys end you can apprehend.

 

 

The first is found in Fowlest text,

1,3,1/ 1,3,2/ 1,2,2/ 1,2,3/ 1,2,3/ 8,3,6/ 2,2,3/ 1,1,2/ 2,3,7/ 5,4,4/ 1,4,7 /

 

 

The second in Folklores Myth is next,

6,1,3/ 3,1,2/ 1,1,6/ 1,3,5/ 6,1,3/ 4,5,1/ 4,1,4/ 5,2,1/ 3,5,4/ 1,3,5 / 1,1,6 / 4,5,2 / 7,2,4 /

 

 

The final sought in opus strange, perception is key for answers exchange

1,2,5/ 3,1,9/ 9,4,7/ 9,1,3/ 4,4,3/ 4,1,1/ 6,1,3/ 1,4,2/ 2,1,1/ 7,2,5/ 8,2,1/ 4,4,1/ 3,1,8/ 8,4,2/ 10,2,7/ 6.2.1 /

eour eardh rune

 

 

They fixed it quickly though

Same happened to me, at first I had no idea what was going on but then I refreshed the page and it was fixed.

 

I found yesterday's to be more challenging then today's. :P

The book had better have the actual story in it once we finish. It seems that people are actually handing you the pages that you read on the forums, so it would make sense to have them in game. Just doesn't make real sense to have it functioning as a quest journal, when we know there is content in there that we should be able to read anytime.

Today's clue is not so much hard as slighty tedious. Hope that tomorrow's clue is hard.

Hm, Im stuck. I thought X,Y,Z means - when looking into the correct book given by the text -

 

Sentence X, word Y, letter Z. This produces nonsense. Am I thinking too complicated?

 

 

The poem above the CIPHERS gives you a clue as to what the ciphers mean:

"Each line, word, and letter in ciphers pen, "

 

x,y,z/ is line, word, letter.
