StewyRX8 05-03-2006 07:26 PM

Likewise, like white on rice...

Glyphon 05-03-2006 09:54 PM

zoom44 05-04-2006 11:36 AM

yeah me likey- 2 down also of course;)

nycgps 05-04-2006 11:53 AM

I must be blind I cant even find the first one. I zoom thru the whole area but still cant see it >_<

youpey 05-04-2006 12:06 PM

its the sf golden gate bridge. once you hit the area, click the little arrow on the left pane and it says congratulations

Jedi54 05-04-2006 12:06 PM

There apparently is an altitude threshold above which the marker isn't visible. Try zooming in closer and then scroll around.

ucfracerx8 05-04-2006 04:22 PM

OK, so I found the first clue easily enough, but now I am trying to get the second clue to load and it keeps sending me into this endless loop and then the site just stopped working. Could it be that they figured out they have a problem and are fixing it, or did something more serious happen.

I don't know about you all, but my goal is to get the 23 entries the hard way, playing through the clues and google earth.

ucfracerx8 05-10-2006 05:08 PM

Next set of clues are now available. Nailed clue #3 real fast, but this 4th one has really thrown me for a loop. Besides the fact that the video shows the location hint very quickly, the hint that they give you to go with it, really doesn't help either. Let me re-phrase that, it doesn't help me, I suck at this whole cryptic thing, why can't it be a picture of something in the city or something. Anyone else as stumped as I am?

Glyphon 05-10-2006 05:57 PM

the 4th one was tough. the thing that appears after the cx-7 drives by is a crocodile...but what's wrong with it? and the hint sucked. i think a better one is "world renouned performance venue".

Acclaim99 05-10-2006 06:28 PM

what was clue3? I thought like rome or greece, but i dunno

I'm getting the same thing :( This seems like fun, I want to play!

dupa12345 05-10-2006 09:30 PM

dupa12345 05-10-2006 09:44 PM

that second linked pic was too big so i took it out- if for some reason you feel the need continue to insult me then use a smaller pic

playdoh43 05-11-2006 01:24 AM

just joking around.

zoom44 05-11-2006 01:29 AM

cool :)

Good work, Glyphon. I finally got it with a wee bit of help from your clue. :beerchug:

For those of you still stumped by #4, completely ignore the Hint provided. It is worse than useless and it will send you off in the completely wrong hemisphere. :)

Well.....1,2 and 3 were pretty easy....4th one has me stumped..............

lurch519 05-11-2006 03:26 PM

ha, i got number 4. bit tough, but then it should be.......we only got 3 more clues left.

and the hint does give a clue....."ever since war and peace" refers to a time frame having to do with the story or movie, not actually when the story takes place,

angelic voices refers to music, opera, or such......

i dont want to spoil it for those trying to figure it out.

huh? :scratchhe

FastRX8 05-11-2006 04:15 PM

Great - Just what I needed. Something else to distract me at work. :crazy:
Between the forum, Youtube, and now this, it's a wonder I get my job done.
For now I finished 1-4. Now back to work. :D:

No, I don't think it does. Go to Wikipedia and find the article on the solution to puzzle #4. It will show the relationship of the Hint to the solution. Way too obscure if you ask me. :scratchhe

lurch519 05-11-2006 06:24 PM

hmmm, war and peace, the original movie with hepburn, was released around the same time as the concert hall in sydney was built

Parmer8 05-11-2006 11:11 PM

Upside down crocodile...land from down under....

youpey 05-17-2006 09:15 AM

i got the next clue finished, that took about 2 seconds. there was one clue that had writing on it that flashed by. i did a print screen to see what it was and that gave away the answer.

victory,more like we surrender.

dupa12345 05-17-2006 11:00 AM

that was a joke .. i actually couldnt believe .. that was it .. but ok

zoom44 05-17-2006 11:18 AM

level 5 complete. much easier than the upside down crocodile- if you see the words in the video. i watched the video 3 times before i could read them

Jedi54 05-17-2006 11:20 AM

zoom44 05-17-2006 06:06 PM

when you get it, the apple bit will make sense. and as a hint, don't think apple as in a company.
