The Locked Box

[lightnin]

is anything meant to happen when you successfully compleated a puzzle? cos i'm sure i've done the number one (nowt will move) but not found anything out

From the ancient to the modern

I found something interesting about the symbols shown between stones in the "stones puzzle". The "ancient" mentionned in the clue led me to think about an ancient numeration systems so I searched such a system in wikipedia. It appears to be mayan numbers which I translated this way (from the bottom to the top : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. I'm not sure about the 32 but I like to think it has something to do with binary ^^.

Hope this will help someone (I still don't know how to use this clue)

Hi! I solved the same three puzzles as Clouseau and also I found the clue to the number-cards puzzle
About "From the ancient to the modern" how could we apply binary? We should lighten up the shape first ?

Click the OK button on the phone (when you click elsewhere the game starts over (is this really what you were asking ??)

I found how to solve the puzzle with the numbers. It gives you a password to be entered to "unlock" the second door in the computer that is on the west.

How do you write with your phone ? (that's an easy riddle^^)

The mayan idea seems to be correct, but how to use it is the question... The mayan numbers are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 from bottom to top. Do these numbers refer to column A (left) or to both columns?

However, I also understand why people are thinking binary. If it were binary I would have 01,00,11,11,10,11 (bottom to top) which becomes 1275 in decimal. Then I tried the reverse (110111110010 = 3570). None of these work.
I tried vertical alighnments for the binary, bottom left is lowest value, top right is highest, giving me 101101111100 = 2940. Thats a no-go.


No clue on the north puzzle yet...

Re: the wood puzzle to the east

each of the buttons represents a different symbol... it takes a lot of trial and error to figure out which is which, but once you do, you can press them in the right order and another puzzle piece will appear

Re: message from puzzle piece after you put in the second door password

Each letter in the message corresopnds to the letter two before it in the alphabet... C = A, D = B, E = C and so on.

pm me is you find that confusing

already been posted.

North puzzle and the south rock puzzle are the only puzzles left that have not had solution or really strong hints posted

Solving Door 2 gives you a phrase:

"UQNXG OA ENWGU
UGCTEJ VJG YQTNF"

Use Nicolica's post (#25) to solve it from there.

SOLVE MY CLUES. SEARCH THE WORLD.

I believe that this refers to the mayan numbers...

i solved only one puzzle, the one with the shapes.

i colored all the shapes? what else am i supposed to do there?

please help

Wrong game category ?

SOLVE MY CLUES. SEARCH THE WORLD.

I believe that this refers to the mayan numbers...

I think that too. I'd like to add something about the code used to encrypt the hint : it's called Caesar Cipher (and is often used in first levels of riddle games). I also think that this game belongs to the "Riddles" category rather than the "point é click" one. Point & click games don't usually twist my neurons that much ^^

Got Door 1!

Binary is the key. Translate each column individually.

Find their ASCII value

[Gums]

So how does someone solve this if they have no clue how to translate binary?

[Hoju]

Use everything from the previos puzzles to figure out the Blue Hexagon puzzle

This includes Statements when receiving the quarter-sphere pieces, passwords and the symbols on the sphere pieces themselves

So how does someone solve this if they have no clue how to translate binary?

Use the calculator on a Windows machine or do a google search

Thanks Hoju. How do you know when you've solved a puzzle. Obviously I haven't or I wouldn't be asking.

In Mayan writing, the dot=1, bar=5, and 20 is represented by a football-shaped symbol (American football, that is). Therefore, that top number is 13, not 32 (2 bars = 2x5 = 10; 3 dots = 3x1 = 3; 10+3 = 13).

So, if we add all the numbers up, we get 44. Or, if we use the Mayan base-20 system, we get 44,225,641. Can anybody do anything with this?
