7:17 AM
Good morning!
1 hour later…
d'alar'cop
8:43 AM
hi avi
@avigrail wie geht's?
avigrail
Hi
Mir geht's gut und dir?
d'alar'cop
ja, wie gewohnt
avigrail
cyanide
d'alar'cop
cjahnide
:D
avigrail
haha nice one
How far did you get?
d'alar'cop
8:47 AM
it's impenetrable..
and my system is traumatised I think
avigrail
That's good :)
d'alar'cop
like Bart Simpson with the electric muffin
so, it seems not to be a word-builder this time
avigrail
As I recommended dont do it on mobile
d'alar'cop
that's a hint isn't it..
avigrail
More like a condition
you will understand in the end. But for now dont bother
d'alar'cop
8:49 AM
i see..
so.. the first question I really have..
"The Doll, the Owl, the Dwarf and the Bear" what are these "things"
I'm guessing they each represent something
avigrail
Maybe they are just pets
you never know
d'alar'cop
"looking down on their cruel fate..."
avigrail
it really is a sad riddle
But you better use my recommendations in the preface
history has it my recommendations are useful
d'alar'cop
indeed..
so it is a literal execution it seems..
avigrail
The riddle is so easy because there are three ways to solve it.
The best way is to find the clue in the pre
d'alar'cop
8:55 AM
you don't really want an image do you..
avigrail
Yes, those painters are stupid haha
But this bear gave me jolly good time yesterday
d'alar'cop
lol...
a unique selfmade picture with nothing else...
very suspicious avi...
"But first you should put your smart phone away and read!" this is most suspicious of all...
avigrail
It will all work in the end
that's the funny thing about it
nexolute: anything you say sound like a clue to me. I don't know what to believe anymore!
haha cyanide coming in
d'alar'cop
:p
avigrail
How about the title
d'alar'cop
9:04 AM
also very suspicious..
avigrail
do you like it?
d'alar'cop
I think you managed to make one where
everything
is suspicious :p
"Maybe you double your speed this time"...
avigrail
I'll give you a scenario that will help (if you want
d'alar'cop
oh please god yes
avigrail
ok
imagine there are 10 boxes on the floor
you need 1 second to pick one
when you have 10 seconds, how many boxes can you pick?
d'alar'cop
9:06 AM
10
avigrail
vey good
now, when you have only 5 seconds
how many can you pick?
d'alar'cop
5
avigrail
You seem to be next einstein!
d'alar'cop
:p
avigrail
Now if you cant double speed (as I suggest) you will be left there with only taken half of it
d'alar'cop
9:07 AM
yes
avigrail
now what happened if you took only half of it
try to find out
d'alar'cop
half of what?
oh never mind... let me see
avigrail
That's the question :)
Darn those pictures are hilarious. I will print them
d'alar'cop
i found the irregular indentation suspicious too..
avigrail
You did?
Tell me
d'alar'cop
9:20 AM
well it's weird where you chose to put lines breaks...
avigrail
plus, I recommend not to use a smart phone
well, there must be something
d'alar'cop
to me that means I should use a smart phone :p
avigrail
Please don't
I don lie withing pre :P
d'alar'cop
ok.. :p
sure you don't..
anyway, ok . I didn't really think that was a lead anyway
avigrail
As i said it's more a condition due to the break of the lines you mentioned earlier
d'alar'cop
9:28 AM
i knew it..
avigrail
<noclue> you will like it
What did you try so far?
I need you to share the pain
d'alar'cop
lol
I'm getting something to eat
brb
avigrail
Is that a clue?:p
enjoy
Mew
9:44 AM
wats dis chat bout
avigrail
riddles. why are you asking?
Mew
Just saw this chat and I wondered if it linked to a specific question or sometin
avigrail
"easiest riddle..." oh dear —
d'alar'cop
1 hour ago
Mew
Her's some music to enjoy while solving riddles
youtube.com/watch?v=5s1Wk-g-Doo
avigrail
g-doo?
Mew
9:47 AM
dunno what that is
avigrail
last part of your link
Mew
just some cool beats
yeah
i don't know the significance of it though
avigrail
didgeredoo maybe
Mew
there's no didgerdoo
avigrail
too bad
d'alar'cop
9:49 AM
hi again avi
avigrail
salut
d'alar'cop
alles gut?
hi Mew
avigrail
Eh oui :)
d'alar'cop
ausgezeichnet
so, I tried a naive "halving"...
it didn't really help
avigrail
nice idea I might use that in the future :D
d'alar'cop
9:51 AM
indeed..
I'm glad I can be of service :p
avigrail
poison is useles without a victim
d'alar'cop
how sickly profound
so I'm not even on the right track with that :(
avigrail
you are correct with halving it
your technique may be bad
d'alar'cop
e.g. a unique, selfmade solution on it.
avigrail
Didn't expect it to be this hard to see. But seems like I did great work :D
Why would somebody break lines in a weird way?
d'alar'cop
10:02 AM
to get certain words to align
avigrail
your ideas a brilliant. I need to write them all down!
but your are very close actually
d'alar'cop
so that's not it either :p
the cyanide is setting in
avigrail
I cant say no to this
What are you planning to do with this aligning thing?
d'alar'cop
a few thought..
ich konnte die erste X Worte from the front of jener Satz nehmen...
avigrail
you get the idea
but that's not exactly it
d'alar'cop
10:13 AM
or..
:p
avigrail
what did you find?
d'alar'cop
ich konnte jener zwiete Satz skippen :p
avigrail
oh this sounds incredibly nice :D
(that's it)
d'alar'cop
I saw it :D
my poor heart
avigrail
i hope you liked it
d'alar'cop
10:17 AM
well it's not cracked yet
of course, as always it's awesome :p
i now have 4 possible interpretations...
avigrail
Oh wow that was fast
d'alar'cop
oh no, I think we're talking about something different..
avigrail
you found the object?
d'alar'cop
I mean..
I have 4 possible versions of the real clue
<include blank lines> or not
start from 1 or 2
avigrail
as I said there are three ways to find what you need
it's very easy
d'alar'cop
10:19 AM
i hate it when you say that :p
so does the line about the Bear etc have a real meaning?
I mean... muss ich it skippen
avigrail
I see what you are doing
you took the wrong way my friend
the riddle is not starting with at that line
d'alar'cop
starts with "standing" then?
avigrail
Starts with "Are" obviously :)
You should know that
you started after fall once :D
d'alar'cop
:p
thanks... I mean after that
avigrail
it's even more funny
don't you agree
d'alar'cop
10:27 AM
there's a "sad" tag :p
avigrail
that's due to the massive killing ahead
d'alar'cop
how about this question.... the thing is the same without the blank lines right?
avigrail
blanks mean nothing to me
d'alar'cop
oh god..
avigrail
hahaha
Remember when I told you this riddle is giving me a hard time while creating it?
d'alar'cop
10:31 AM
yes..
Spiegel..
avigrail
Very good indeed
You solved half of it now haha
Almost forgot. You remember the smart phone thing?
you understand now
d'alar'cop
no actually..
avigrail
well, this wont work the same way on a smart phone
formatting reasons
d'alar'cop
yes, I mean I thought formatting... but it's not 100% clear to me yet
the main part has 2 lines really..
I only keep one I'm thinking
avigrail
Well, I think you can do it from here :)You have the object and the riddle. That's all you need
d'alar'cop
10:40 AM
lol
Cjahnide und Einfachkeit
avigrail
Good one :D
d'alar'cop
well I have no idea what to do :p
lol
a unique, selfmade picture with nothing else but the
solution on it. Please use colors with contrast to the
background color (for obvious reasons, I appreciate).
this makes more sense now
avigrail
Yes, you found the object. Now you can start working on the riddle
no need for the preface anymore
d'alar'cop
oh i see..
so I actually have the solution really..
avigrail
What do you mean?
d'alar'cop
10:49 AM
never mind... I thought that object was going to end up being the solution :p
avigrail
how dare you
d'alar'cop
haha... yes, how lazy
I know :p
avigrail
So I'm going to get myself something to eat. Have fun with your new gadget :p
d'alar'cop
ok
see you later avi
:)
avigrail
Off he goes
avigrail
11:21 AM
here comes the pain
d'alar'cop
11:40 AM
OK, let the last phase of cyanide poisoning begin
:p
avigrail
It may be deadly
What have you found out so far?
d'alar'cop
I've found out that I have no idea what the target is
avigrail
nice
d'alar'cop
I'm pretty sure the solution will be an object... or possibly one of the 4
avigrail
Good guess
d'alar'cop
11:43 AM
a stupid idea I had was about the owl being able to spin its head around ;p
:p
avigrail
funny :D
d'alar'cop
but I know you don't do things like that
avigrail
yes, there is more
d'alar'cop
it seems like the "double your speed" clue has been forgotten
yes, we found something..
.but what about that other idea..
I'm done with the <pre> right?
avigrail
yes
The pre is only there to make you find the object
d'alar'cop
11:45 AM
and does the "double your speed" thing also apply to the main clue?
no then
avigrail
It works with the riddle, too. But It's no use
d'alar'cop
i.e. jener zweite Satz/Reihe skippen...
avigrail
Richtig. You wont need that
d'alar'cop
ok
so I have the main and the object...
avigrail
and you need the solution
no problem, always here to gelp
help
d'alar'cop
11:59 AM
so. the solution can actually be deduced from the object + the main?
avigrail
Yes, it can
d'alar'cop
i'm thinking of a guillotine..
avigrail
how come?
d'alar'cop
but that's not it surely.. I'm struggling to see the relevance of the 4 animals..
well the theme of death... hung heads... something shiny shall we say
avigrail
How is your mirror taking part in all this?
d'alar'cop
12:15 PM
well a shiny guillotine would make a nice Spiegel
:p
but I know it's nothing..
avigrail
That's not that bad after all
d'alar'cop
my focus is on trying to see how those 4 things fit
doll, owl etc
avigrail
They are on the cabinet
d'alar'cop
Ok the issues are this:
1) What is the death symbolising here
2)They cannot see who'll be the one - the only sight-based thing
3) how the hell will a single object or whatever come out
avigrail
1) you will somehow make them die while solving the riddle
2) I can explain to you, It's not very relevant to you
3) surprise
d'alar'cop
12:39 PM
are you sure the weird indention doesn't matter anymore?
avigrail
How could it?
d'alar'cop
not sure
anything is possible
:p
I'm feeling a bit in the dark about this whole thing :(
avigrail
It's easy actually
What do you see
a cabinet of course
what else?
d'alar'cop
Doll etc
avigrail
what else
d'alar'cop
12:43 PM
Spiegel
I imagine it being behind them
avigrail
possible
d'alar'cop
up against the wall... although it could also be a hand spiegal
ok
avigrail
doesn't matter
d'alar'cop
and I see that they are "looking down"
avigrail
right
waiting for their fait
d'alar'cop
12:45 PM
fate*
avigrail
thats true haha
d'alar'cop
"they already hung their heads"
not clear if it means they are on a rope... or what
could just be looking down
avigrail
oh ok
I just shivered
d'alar'cop
supposedly I'm intending to kill them
avigrail
Yes
in order to find the one
d'alar'cop
12:46 PM
so I'm like testing them?
avigrail
Well, do you have a weapon?
d'alar'cop
"elude your threats"
seems weird..
I'm not sure that I have a weapon
maybe just my spiegel
avigrail
exactly
can elude be like avoid?
d'alar'cop
yes
could just mean "avoid your attempts (to kill)"
that's quite literal.. and I think that's it
avigrail
right
You are scaring me to death with your questions
I'm always thinking I picked wrong words
d'alar'cop
12:50 PM
well there's only one I can't
kill
avigrail
:)
seems like you got it
d'alar'cop
(the Puppe)..
but why does this require the spiegel ?!
avigrail
Why do you think you cant kill it?
d'alar'cop
because it's not alive..
avigrail
There must be something else
you will know
d'alar'cop
12:53 PM
i'm so confused :p
avigrail
That's ok :)
d'alar'cop
I guess this is where it is:
"They cannot see who'll be the one
they are as far as can be
But maybe you can tell them soon
so they can die peacefully"
avigrail
there are many hints in there
but
not all are relevant to you
since you already got the object
d'alar'cop
is the spiegal about reversal of Woerte?
avigrail
Does it give you a suitable solution?
