The picture for riddle 6 was oldoak-a.jpg. I figured there must be a oldoak-b.jpg

I can't figure out the keyword for Riddle 9. I believe I found the context:That was not a forest, that were the impaled inhabitants of Tirgoviste!

Change stakes.htm to stakes.mp3
It is hard for me to decipher what they are saying. Are they saying:"Take me out of here?"

yeah, i think for level 8 its referencing beethoven's 9th symphony. but then that has nothing to do with the stuff in the source code. so maybe I'm wrong.

How the heck did you get that? Wow
[edit] It looks like we are nearing the end. The flow of the story has been following Castlevania II pretty well.

ok, so for figuring out this guys name. clue 6 says that the 6th and 7th letters are in Am, so they're ACE. then clue 9 says that if you saw the world through a mirror the fifth note is i.. but the fifth note backwards is the 6th note, which has to be ACE... so i don't get it... other than that, i used the chart dduardo posted early for clue 5. clue 2 is m? what else would it be?? for 7 i took away the letters that appear in frozen from fire and got i. and you 'c' when you open your eyes. that's all I've got so far.

The first letter is C...I think that the third letter is W...any luck with the others?

Gale, I'm not sure you can trust the table I posted a page back. I don't think we were supposed to see that until later.
Yomamma, yes, the M would be inverted.

okay...I got more:
Clue #2 s self-explanitory, it's W
Clue #4 says to take the achievable(possible) away from the impossible. impossible-possible= im
Clue #5 say it's in place. (1,6) first row of your keyboard, siz letters in is y
Clue #8 says the first letter is what you do when you open your eyes, c
Clue #9 say if you saw the world through a mrror, letter 5 would be i. since there are 7 letters total, letter 5 is 2 away from the end...but in a mirror, letter 3 is what we're looking for, so letter 3 is i.
Which means: C-IWY--

yomamma, you got I and W reversed.
Clue 4 gives you positions 3 and 4:
M and I
but clue 2 gives you position 3:
M flipped which is W

Yes, that is what I was saying...but this doesn't make any sense.
<If letters 6 and 7 are from the minor chord of 440 hz, then letter 6 simply cannot be I, since I is not a musical note. Right?>
P.S. On the main page containing the clues, is states that "my name has ten letters."

Could the fifth letter in (1,6) be R from the Vigenere grid dd discovered earlier ?
Lotsa possible contradictions between the clues. Only fairly sure abt C_W...
Grr...gotta go now...

I'm back...and I bring trouble :

place where I rest = grave
large street = ave (for avenue)
grave - ave = gr : first 2 letters ! >>
