Best Riddle

[slonmyno]

Alright, the first thing is to find the source of your problems. Once you've found the source, you can see what you might need to change.

Don't forget that there are 3 kinds of file extensions that bestriddle uses!

hi is ne1 on? i feel really dumb but can someone help me with the fist level the on with all the cities on? ive tred the different urls but they dont work?

[zeusrealm]

Can anyone help me get past the Help one.

Pinky: Maybe you should try looking at the riddle in another way. Try working on it in another direction.

It almost looks like a poem, but it's a pretty shoddy one by my standards. Why else would the lines be arranged like that?

Still need a clue? What are those cities anyways? One thing they all have in common. Should clue you in to what you're looking for.

Zeus: Type what you see.

No capitals ever apply in Bestriddle, everything else is fair game!!!!....!

ugh im stuck on 33

all ive noticed is the hint ratio
idk if this is anythign but when you highlight it one line becomes dotted
i thought ratios were between two things and how to get one out of a pie chart is beyond me

thanks for any help

[Xaqari]

Good job on identifying that you are indeed looking for a ratio. I suppose you could think of proportions too. Think of how much of the pie each letter takes up, and how you write each letter down, being mindful of their proportions and relationship to each other. Once you've got that... well it's so easy that a granma could do it, as riddlers tend to say.

If H were 1, then...

[slonmyno]

is the answer going to be #:#:# or use a / or somethign else?

if h is 1 o is 3 and r is 4 if thats right i dont know how to put it in correctly

[Xaqari]

Not quite, it's supposed to be sixths, not eights. The answer is a word, a word a granma would know.

[slonmyno]

ugh how do i get sixths when one part is an eigth big
im soo lost

PMs are welcome

[Xaqari]

I know it looks like eighths, but trust me that they're sixths, the biggest one is twice the size of the middle one.

[zeusrealm]

I already have tried not putting in any capitals and it still doesn't work.

[pinkywinky]

i dotn understand part three tho the one where it says to go back to the beginning and its all about capitals, i figured that it mite mean makign a word out of all the capital letters but i cant find one and i dont know what kinbd of poem it is can ne1 help?

[Xaqari]

Zeusrealm: What does the text say, exactly? The answer's right there.
Pinkywinky: Maybe it's not much of a poem at all? Don't mix up any letters, just read.

[pinkywinky]

read what? im confused read what u r talkign bout the beginnign as in where all the capital cities r arent u i dont understand im so confused everyones got it except me i can be so thick soemtimes


PLEASE SOMEONE HELP IVE BEEN STUCK ON THIS FOR AGES NOW ITS SO HARD IM SO CONFUSED! PLEEEEEEEEASE

[zeusrealm]

From the first page of the forum reading that someone else had the same prob and that they suddenly got past it, I know the answer is probably there but it is so obvious that I dont see it, thats the prob with me, if the answer is obvious or right there then I probably just don't pick up on it, more hints or something would be appreciated.
