The principle is right, but the words aren't - have another go, and make sure you use the built-in search facility

[brainisdead]

what built in search?

[kuang]

Assuming you're using the website mentioned in the clue rather than your own paper copy of the book, you can use the site's search engine to pinpoint the exact words you need.

[brainisdead]

i used the site. it has no such search engine I'm aware of, you can't actually read any books there. You have to download them.
I guess I'm quitting there then?

[brainisdead]

got it thanks. then ground to a halt after the "coloured german car", are we supposed to copy those letters down from that letter? has this person never heard of copy N paste?

I assume its some sort of keyword cipher?

[kuang]

It's attempting to create an atmosphere. Some of the later puzzles rely on the 'real' evidence rather than plain text. You might find that if you're reluctant to manually copy text at this stage, some of the later levels will really test your patience As with many things, the reward you get out is proportional to the effort you put in

As for that particular level, there are two important words in the text - one tells you what type of cipher is used, the other is a prerequisite for solving it. Once you have those it's very quick. You will end up juggling the letters around though, so better get copying

[brainisdead]

I'll quit there then, what I want from a riddle is a playable game.
If I wanted atmosphere I'd go outside and breathe ;-)

I really need help at "Take the money and run". I know it has to do with E****** G**** A****** but I can't figure out the answer.

[kuang]

You're absolutely right Bronwyn, and..

now you need to be thinking geographically. The answer is a short one.

[Bronwyn]

Short one?

I've seen your hint in post 1647 but I still can't find out the right answer.

[kuang]

If you were heading to the place you've already identified, where would you be going? Think bigger.

[Bronwyn]

I sent you a pm.

Every answer you receive is the address of the next page - the intro page tells you how to get to the next level once you have an answer. Was that what you meant?
