    • This is probably a dumb question, but parcade is a parking lot right?

      • Finally got it, Kuang. Thanks. I feel better, since the correct answer is as good as about 3 dozen other possibilities. I admire your patieince in going through most of them to have this partial leg of the overall trip pop up as the url.htm. Thanks again.

        • It's not a word I've ever heard before.

          • I don't think my idea was right kuang. If they are talking about a parking lot the room number wouldn't matter. Maybe the numbers point to words in the text somehow.

            I think it was suppose to be parkade which is a multistory parking garage or a car park. Thats what it is called where I live, on wikipedia it says in canada it is called a parkade.

              Well done for persevering! It fels much better to work it out than just to be told, after all

              Funnily enough, the road you used actually does go exactly from A to B - look closely and you'll realise that A is quite curvy and probably goes further NW than you realised, and the road joins directly to it Some maps probably don't contiune the street name on enough for you to see the full length of the start location.

              • Yep, parkade refers to a multi-story parking lot. As you can probably tell we're Canadian. (But I did mispell the word.)

                • Glad to see you got it Jase, now you can help us on this one.

                  • I think the number refers specifically and cryptically to the place itself - if you were going to meet and then head somewhere else, you wouldn't go to a room. Just testing a few ideas now.

                          I see that now, though the directions given on the web page show 4 (5?) distinctive legs with different street names. Should have trusted my eyes. Final thanks. Moving on.

                          • I've got it, and it wasn't through any amount of codebreaking. I could have ignored the puzzle and used common sense if I'd thought to

                            Cryptos - is level 33 still incomplete, as it seems to have the last paragraph from an earlier puzzle and no working image?

                            • Congrats kuang, are you saying ignore the sudoku entirely?

                              • I dunno tbh - there might be some clever way that the result would lead you to the answer, but I didn't end up using it. You can get through this one with a dose of common sense, some lateral thinking and an appreciation of causality
