4 (aka Shi)

[Adventure]

I'm now working on colours. I think I have to

use the colours on the windows. I have found 3 raw data instructions which give me the order of the primary colours. I'm not sure if I have to work out the blanks using a mixture of these colours. What is confusing me is that one of the hints is almost completely blue how can I mix that?

You don't have to work out the blanks. The blanks are just blanks. Don't think in columns..

Edit: you got it already! Great job!

I've also been up on the roof and found loads and loads of letters. I can't see anything in them at the moment except for very small words.

You mean the letter grid?

There is a small sentence in it.

I hope the small hints I gave you for the codes of codes help you to figure part A and B out.

I've managed to finish the Crisspo Letum which was hard but fun.

I still have to work out the Code of codes (A and B) and Alchemy although I still only have 3 pieces of raw data for this one.

Solved the colour puzzle

mix colours before not after

btw Adventure did you have any problems when trying to load Roomz? Or tying to see the actual game?

I couldn't load the roomz with FF (the rooms stayed black), and I had to switch to IE.

Good luck with the next puzzles of Shi.

Thank you Adventure with your help I got the card code. The hidden clue was so simple I ignored the obvious! That's typical for me - always try to find the hard way first. Hehe

I going to play a little longer and see what happens.

Ok managed the door puzzle plus found all the cards and raw data I need for the card puzzle.

The card puzzle is not as simple as it first appears.
By that I mean it is not

a straightforward number to alphabet conversion using the raw data hint

I think I'll stop for a coffee and have a think.

Good coffee - found hidden hint j****** Stuck again.

Use that hidden hint with your solution. Think very, very simple.

I wish more people would play this riddle. It's very different and very good.

Agreed! And I still don't understand why this one has so few players (in comparison to other riddles). Shi is made by the creator of Zest and the creator of The Roomz. Given the huge popularity of those, I would have expected large interest for this one only because of that.

Hmm, I think I made a mistake in my notes. I think the maximum is only 34.

[dalveen]

Thanks for your hints Adventure I'll try them later (I've got to visit mum now).

btw I tried that door puzzle again today and still only got 33 grrrrr.

[Adventure]

Door puzzle

Maximum is 36.

Cards

It are # different cards. Some spots have more than 1 card.

Crisspo Letum

Begin and end are connected. Each drawing should give you a 4 letter word.
No anagramming.

Cryptography.. have you read the posts about that in this thread?

As far for the alchemy puzzle. You can't find the last part yet.

[dalveen]

I've completed the eyes puzzle and solved the numbers on the wall to get through the code for the door. I now have:

3 of the 4 alchemy codes and instructions (missing triangle with point at top no line)

4 cards (perhaps 5 if one is repeated) - I know how many I should have

33 is the maximum I can get on the door puzzle

I've seen the cryptography explanation and 3 clues

I've found 3 Crispo Letum diagrams and 4 instructions. I've been working on this one for ages but the letters I'm getting don't make any sense. I think I have been adding the wrong numbers together. Obviously I don't understand geometry very well.

In short I am well and truly stuck for the moment.

[Adventure]

It is really well made.

To start: solve the eye puzzle in the shed.

There are 5 notes (raw data) to find. Look everwhere!
Order the notes in chronological order, and open/close the eyes like the notes tell you.

Let me know if you experience some difficulties. It can be a bit tricky, but logic.

[dalveen]

Oh I forgot about this riddle. I remember it being very hard but I never did retry.

Here goes.

Wow those eyes are spooky. Still too hard for me, pity because it looks very well made.

Ok I might try again.

[Adventure]

So you solved the maiden puzzle. Good job.

The next puzzle you have to solve is the turned around corridor with numbers on the wall.
There is only hint to find for that one, and it has letters in its frame. It's the note with the # is no more than ...

Try to figure out why those numbers have those values.
That the values are written in letters, not digits is a clue. Maybe it would be an good idea to write out all the numbers.

As soon as you solved the riddle on this note, apply the same method on the numbers on the wall.

[AzurilNoirRaine]

gaaah i can't figure this out! i got past the first riddle but i'm stuck everywhere else. where are you finding half these clues?!

[gfhasman]

Crispo Letum

Color me proud of myself - solved Crispo and got past hte colored windows and talked to seriphim - ALL in one session!!

Now to decipher that pair of hand prints....
