Desperately in need of help for stage 9!!!!

 

 

 

Do I need to extrapolate the bottom line to get values for p,s and w? AND is the answer a number or a word?

 

 

 

Ta muchly

I need a clue on no 7 with the black lines on the white background.

 

 

 

Please give me a clue via pm or here!

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

For anyone that cares, here's a summary of posted clues for each stage thus far.

 

 

 

Stage 1: Follow the instructions on the page, Type in the url without any spaces.

 

Stage 2: Type in the box color. Only 1 of 2 common spellings is accepted.

 

Stage 3: Type in the missing color. Only 1 of the missing colors is accepted.

 

Stage 4: What, exactly, is the cause of brain death for someone in the device?

 

Stage 5: What color is missing. Ignore the hint. Know your display technology.

 

Stage 6: You must view the page source, (or equivalent). Similar to Stage 1.

 

Stage 7: What is the common name for this childlike drawing?

 

Stage 8: First enlarge the image. Second, translate the image into binary. Third, Google 'binary chart' .

 

One of the links on the first page is exactly what you need to get the next url.

 

Stage 9: 2 hints given so far

 

From the riddle author, fire_skulll300:

 

"so far i think 2 people are on number 9 if you are one of them you will find

 

that things just dont seem to add up or do they *cough**hint**cough*"

 

From Aperson and neogeo0823:

 

"check out the picture. you have a string of numbers and letters, followed by a string of alternating

 

numbers and letters. the second line is the key to the puzzle. when things look down, add em up."

 

Stage 10:

Woot, onto stage 10. Number nine drove me crazy.

 

 

 

i understand number 10, just keeping guessing the answer.

I think I'm out of intelligent guesses for #10. Moving on to the unintelligent ones now. ;)

Yea the whole question is pretty vague, because it is so vague it makes me think we are missing some key element here... Some play on words maybe... I've been running that question through my head now for a few days and nothing really comes up.

Why should we buy postage stamps when we can make our own?

Just for a bit of fun,

 

 

 

have you seen what you can make

 

with Anagrams from the letters in stage #9?

 

 

 

You get funny things like:

 

 

 

Hide a webb ISP

 

A webb ID is Hep

 

He is webb paid

 

His web be paid

 

 

 

He is a webb dip

 

A webb pie dish

 

She wiped a bib

 

Wide hips babe

 

Dish wipe babe

 

etc...

Somehow I skipped from stage 3 to stage 6? Stage three was the 'What's missing?" stage. What I typed in worked, but it sent me to stage 6. Is this correct? Because it sounds like everyone is killing themselves over Stage 4 :lol:

 

 

 

Anyway, I'm having difficulty with Stage 8. How do I convert an image into binary?

Between each pair of green lines are 8 white or black lines.

 

Let the white lines be 0 and the black lines be 1.

... it sent me to stage 6. Is this correct?

 

3 of the answers are colors, so if you just happened to try the

 

answer for a later puzzle when attempting an earlier puzzle,

 

you would jump way ahead. :D

Between each pair of green lines are 8 white or black lines.

 

Let the white lines be 0 and the black lines be 1.

 

 

 

Got it. Still stuck on Stage 9. I need help! No idea of what to do...the hints don't seem to help either. What's with everyone saying the p, s, and w?

Got through #8 when I translated the 3 first sets...

 

Can somebody give me a PM that what does the add up thingy that everyone gives as a hint in #9 mean?

Woot!! To #10 I go :)

Still no one has figured out 10? Wow, thats a tough booger. I'm still pretty clueless any further than the basic question...

Nope, number 10 is a tricky little sod.

Or, a sodding little trickster, if you prefer.
