<<All right, now I think everything should be cleared up. And I have the impression that you are telling/thinking the same (maybe with a tiny difference, or not even that). If you wish to continue your discussion, please take it to PM

@All the players: Please accept the rules that might be slightly more firm than for other riddles, and enjoy the game.

@Jeff & players: Please use the "Report" button if you feel that a post contains a too big spoiler

Thank you.>>

There are several posts here that tell you exactly how to beat the level. I'm not going to repost them for obvious reasons, and the less obvious reason of there being 249 pages in this thread, and while I am dedicated, that's just tedious.

I don't think you and your wife working together on the riddles is cheating. But if your wife went through and just pretty much used your answers to get through by herself, then told me that she did it by herself, THAT is cheating. And you may say 'well nobody actually does that,' but I've already had cases of people saying "oh nevermind, I got the answer from another forum."

I asked one what forum, and they said it was here. Deny all you want, but it happens.

I have no intentions of 'weeding out the weak' or anything like that. But if it comes to the point where you just can't get it, then you can ask for a really good hint in PM. They shouldn't be out here for everyone to see so they can just use it and say that they're clever and say that they got it all by themselves.

Hints should tell you what to think about, spoilers tell you why you were supposed to think that way. Spoilers give away the key part of the riddle that takes thought to come across, i.e. if someone were to say "highlight the page" as a 'hint' to level 1 (I say that here, 'cause I don't care too much about level 1), that would be a spoiler. A hint would be "There are some words in bold on that page... What could they mean?"

There's a huge difference.

hinting vs cheating

i think you guys are looking at the hints and jumping to conclusions about them being cheating.

first of all, you already know the answer to the riddle so you look at a hint and think it is blatantly obvious. unfortunately for those who are stuck, most of the time that hint didn't give them one bit of help. i can't tell you how many times i read through this and other boards looking for some help to get on the right track and came up empty handed.

jeff, you said it yourself on your board, people think differently and therefore some riddles are easy to them that others find hard and visa-versa. i agree that the post on 16 was a bit too much because it did give the answer in it, whether people realize it or not, but wouldn't it have been easier to click the "report bad post" button instead of posting your reply above?

the riddle games are fun because they are challenging and you get a good feeling when you are able to solve one. it makes you feel a little clever sometimes. it is not fun when you get stuck on one for 5 days and get frustrated and upset. the creator of the riddle, or those who solved it quickly might think it is funny but it is definitely not. is the purpose of building or playing a riddle game to create an elitist group of mensa candidates or to have fun and challenge people to think differently? sometimes giving someone the answer or even an obvious clue gives them the opportunity to make a paradigm shift that they would have never been capable of previously. this allows them to continue on with the game and continue having fun. if someone truly didn't want help then they wouldn't come here and read.

also, the help i have received here in pm from those who had solved a riddle that i had not amounted to no more than them telling me that i was on the right track and to continue thinking. and since my wife and i work these riddles as a team is that cheating to you?

Thank you, Mistery.

I know I might seem like a jerk for doing this, but I'm trying to keep Weffriddles competitive and fair to everyone, not just those who belong to a certain forum.

I'll be watching, and I might even stop in to give some hints myself. But it's so much easier to just go to the Weffriddles forums and ask for hints there, 'cause there's a thread for every level, so you don't have to sort through 250 pages of forum to find hints on the level you're on. We'd be happy to have you over there.

<<As it is stated in the first post: the rules are to only give small hints in the thread. Players who give a away too much will get a warning, and members who continue to give away answers or too big spoilers in the thread might face consequences. So please follow the rules.

And those who discover a too big spoiler, please use the "Report Bad Post" button at the bottom left corner (the triangle) to report it to moderators. Explain what is the problem and we will take care of it.

Moderators are trying to keep all threads clean, but we have to watch many threads and new posts, and if we are not playing a riddle ourselves it is sometimes difficult to judge what is a small hint and what could be a big spoiler. Therefore we are glad for your help to detect problems>>

[WeffJebster]

You know what? I've found some things in this thread that are practically giving away how to get the answer. Level 16, specifically, is one that I'm not particularly happy with, as well as quite a few others that are just blatant GIVEAWAYS.


I'll be talking to the moderators and admins here. This is cheating. If you don't 'have time' to play, then guess what? It'll take you longer to beat it. This isn't a race. If you really MUST get extra help because you really don't want to quit, then do it in PMs.

Repeated... This is cheating.
