i had no problem with the song, if you look at it it has the beginning of the name. you just need one word to complete it.

can you clarify which level you are on because i dont think it is 12

[ThemePark]

Hmm...so much work on level 5 for something that so far isn't all what it was cracked up to be But well...hmm...stuck on level 12 now...the one with the words written in capitals followed by ! and written like that twice, I don't get it

And for level 10, well I figured the answer would be exactly like the song is called, not just one of its words...weird answers Or maybe it's just me...sigh

[Samuel]

use the english name of it

[ThemePark]

Lol, seems like he's relaxed a bit too much after making the first 5 levels But well, yeah that was stupid

So on level 10 with the song...but no clues in the source code. I tried with national anthem AND the actual national anthem...but no

[Samuel]

this one was dumb, take the s off the end

[ThemePark]

Oh, nevermind I got it, I had forgotten about the lowercase letters rule only I'm on level 6, woohoo! I'm gonna faint now from sheer joy :p

Lol, the next levels ARE indeed easy...too easy But I'll admit I have trouble on level 9. I'm assuming it's the capital of the last answer he's talking about, but putting that in isn't working

[Samuel]

no underscores, just write it with no spaces

[ThemePark]

Lol, well that's what I mean, he actually outsmarted us, no wonder nobody have solved it yet, nobody have been able to get past this one

Furthermore this just proves what happens when you overthink a riddle, lol

And I must admit, I know what you're talking about but I just tried that one, with and without ', with _ instead of spaces, and just as it is on Wikipedia, and I'm getting nothing

[Samuel]

what bugs me is, it wasnt exactly a hard riddle, but as you'll see the next ones are pretty easy

[ThemePark]

For those who haven't checked nordinho...or who is just lazy, I will explain this riddle here based on what I read on nordinho. I don't think anybody will mind that seeing as this pulled quite some teeth out

The picture doesn't have anything to do with the riddle, so we've been staring ourselves blind at something of no importance. The clues in the source code however are the important ones.

The source code has two clues one that says "<now thats WIKI fun>" and one that says "<code, 86...>". The idea here is that you are supposed to look on Wikipedia under the Code article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code and search on that page for the number 86, where you will get an explanation of what that code have meant and been used for. And this is the key to solving the riddle.

If the moderators would rather that I delete this post then I will do so, but I do think that people deserve to get done with this one rather easily, since we had so much trouble figuring it out, all 10-20 of us

The forementioned post on nordinho is here, apparantly Erik or the author of the riddle if Erik himself did not make it, joined nordinho on a request from one of their users in order to give them some hints.

And I must say that I'm impressed that one guy can indeed outsmart so many brains

[Samuel]

its a very long one having to do with restaurants

[ThemePark]

Well, this has been borderline psychotic, Erik is now officially responsible for having made hundreds of people all over the world go postal

On a more serious note, I read the thread on nordinho, I looked at Wikipedia about what 86 means, I tried putting the 3 different meanings of it down, and it didn't work...I'm still lost...help please

[Samuel]

on to 12
...13

[Samuel]

you may be a bit mad as it was so simple

[Mistery]

yes mistery, check on nordinho

Thanks for the info, I will (as soon as I get back to riddle games again this week)
