Hi, everyone! :smile:

I am working on Dracula's riddle for a while, and found this thread. It really helped me at lvl 20 and 24, I was pretty :confused: there.

Now I'm trying to listen to the voice from lvl 30. As I'm not a native English speaker, it's really hard for me to understand what it says. Please, can you give me a little nudge?

Thanks. :smile:

<edit>Nevermind, I got it!</edit>

It's so quiet here! :biggrin: Noone is still solving this riddle or have you decided to talk only by PMs? Just wondering... :smile:

I'm on lvl 32 and it gives me headaches :confused: Does anyone want to talk about it?

I haven't figured oth riddle 30 yet, all I have is the audiofile with something sounding like "Volenca" or "fallen God" and the numbers in the ID tag of the file: 10,94,12,20.

Hints are welcome...

It is not important what the voice says.
Transpose the matrix you've found :wink:

Lvl 32: I would also welcome a small hint about what the comment means (last line in source). :smile:

You have no idea how to transpose a matrix, or you have no idea which is the matrix? :smile:

Tried google? :biggrin: Just write the rows as columns, and vice versa.

I give up on this one, can't solve it.

Don't! :smile: Read the numbers you have, by column. Group them properly... they have a significance :wink:

OK been away from a while?

Kudos Gale: the roots go home the roots=source code----> home=home page, thanks for the hints, once I got that it was straight forward, would of taken me decades to think of that.:smile:

Next level was straight forward, am now on Berkely mansion I'm not sure what level number that is, in fact how do you tell, I'm confused by looking back as I'm not sure where you guys are, or if your even still here. Anyway, if I get anything I'll put it up.

Looking back it's 29.

attaints, looked up the definition:-

1. To impart stigma to; disgrace: “No breath of calumny ever attainted the personal purity of Savonarola” (Henry Hart Milman).
2. To pass a sentence of attainder against.
3. Archaic. To infect or corrupt, as with illness or vice.
4. Archaic. To accuse.

wonder if it's a clue or just an act of misdirection? The definition of venerableness is interesting too, I just thought it meant age. English is such a rich tongue :smile:

Not sure if it's ok to put up this level but I think most of us are beyond or on it?

I don't think so Kaya, people seem to be stuck on different levels, and are probably trying hard to figure it out before they as for a tip, I could be wrong though I've been out of the loop for a week or so.

Edit 2: Now maybe someone can explain or give a hint how to solve riddle 19 (Hall 2)

Note: Working on riddle 30 myself... I got some numbers and a file... but not sure how to use them.. yet...

link it I'll see if I can remember. I think we might of cheated a little someone accidently got to hall 3 and worked it out from there, if my memory serves me right.

I'm still waiting for a pm on how they got haven from the cards, that was nifty but perplexing :smile:

Haven from the cards? Could you give me a riddle number? Haven came from the difference between have been and be. The one with the cards was steal.

When you get the correct numbers by tranposing the matrix and then reading down by column, and you concentrate on what the numbers could mean, you will see.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Second Hall</title>
<!-- 19 -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">

body,td,th {

  <p><img src="hall2.jpg" width="512" height="710"></p>
  <p>Stay focused...</p>
</div>

</html>
That's the source, what am I missing? that spells the answer?

A_moron, though I am not on that riddle (still on torment), the numbers look like a date, April 20, 1912. Here's some links:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=April+20,+1912

So...since I helped you...oh. wait, Omega helped. darn.. still. can I get another hint for torment? I got nothing...

Search for the significance of that date.

Hello all, thanks for your help. Me and my mates got stuck on 27 for a long while back there, you helped us out by having us look somewhere we totally neglected. We are currently on 29 and still trying to find an answer. Hopefully we can be of some help to you all.
