Evil Dragon Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 (edited) I had already tried a few of the idea on fonts before you said that... So far none found I'll keep looking, though. Edited March 14, 2003 by Evil_Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness2k Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Wouldn't be in the file would it? I tried looking with an ascii/hex viewer... but the only text I could find was about being created in Adobe Photoshop 5 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp0rk Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Yeah, I couldnt find any fonts like that, so I tried converting it.I can probably finish it tomorrow, so far I have these letters: a,e,t,h,v, and r. I think the ones with the three dots in front of them are capitals or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Dragon Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 If someone can convert it into letters (instead of symbols), I have a monalphabetic substitution cypher solver. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkness2k Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Maybe this is the "load of bollox" part.... wasted like a couple hours of our time doing the rest of the riddles... then gives you something that will stop you completly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness2k Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I just took the picture and re-saved it out as a new picture... Quality 12 its around 30kb smaller... hmm Probably just Photoshop 7.0.1 being better than 5 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dduardo Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I just sent my email. The hidden message is a riddle that you have to solve and put in the subject line. If you want the decoded message email me at "dduardo AT msn DOT com". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remote Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 If anyone has the time right now, can someone go through that puzzle and make a picture of each symbol. That way, if we figure out the corrosponding letter, we can post it here. I think it would help out a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dduardo Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Here is the First Sentence "Finally, well done, the end of the first stage is within your grasp." The period and commas are part of the sentence. This should make it extremely easy to figure out. This is all I will give, I don't have time now to create a picture will all the symbols. Hopefully the guy is keeping track of of his email and we will get a response soon from net riddle for stage 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dduardo Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I got the wrong answer, I put fire as the subject line. Here is was the reply: I hate to be the bearer of bad news but your answer for this riddle was unfortunalty incorrect. I also must apologise for the delay, and possibly for the spam (one copy of this note is sent every time you send in an answer). The answer is fairly hard and I am very strict about giving away the next stage's location. Anyway good luck if you try again, if it helps last time I checked over 1,000 people had sent in answers and only about 25 were right (but this number is growing rapidly). Once again good luck, and hope I get the right one from you next time. NR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowpie Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I mean, seriously, who is in this for the money? I am sure as hell not..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Dragon Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 No, I'm not in it for the money... If I won I would prbably keep maybe 1/4 of it, give the rest to Neowin or something. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remote Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Im definitly not in it for the money. I just think its fun. Lets you think, lets you use the benifits of the internet and work as a group or individual to figure out the solution. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dduardo Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 (edited) Im am not doing this for the money either, i would probable give the money to Neowin just like evil_dragon. Here is the message completely decoded: Finally, well done, the end of the first stage is within your grasp. All you have to do now is figure out this code, and if you are reading this i assume you already have, which I applaud. Now before you continue onward to you goal, may I just ask or even be that you think about how much time and effort you put in to solving this riddle, and just remember how quickly it can be wasted by giving your answers away. If you do give your answers away dont do it on a public forum, you are telling hundreds of people your own solutions that you spent time solving. It is up to you in the end I was just trying to advise you not to post them on public forums. Now for the riddle itself, all you have to do is send a mail to the address below where the subject line is the answer to this riddle, dies half its life, lives the rest. Dances without music, breaths without breath what is it? Good luch oh and you can put anything you like in the mail message, say hi or how you hate net riddle. If you finally get the right answer for this clue, let us all know. Edited March 14, 2003 by dduardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
