Has anyone solved or been working on this puzzle?

If not, maybe we can? I’ve gotten to the Hide Your Sorrows page, but can’t get past it. I can only make out a candle with a pair of eyes(?) behind it. I don’t know what the golden object is though. The only things I’ve gotten from this page are Hypericum Perforatum is St. Johnswort and thanks to the folks at Penny Arcade, “Zardoz” and “hgrzdz mlgvovph wvniz vml Z” are commented out of the source. Anyone get further than this?

This thing is creepy.

I see an oven (?) in a cornfield (?) that is a link to a page of 1s and 0s that shows jibberish when highlighted.

I’m confused.

Always look at the source code of a page and make sure your sound is on. As a word of warning, some of the puzzles have to be solved by method of elimination, and you’re not given any of the possible answers. It’s hard, but this really does get interesting once you start to decipher the puzzles.

If you click and drag over the page of zeros and ones, the page is filled with odd characters. They almost look like they form an ascii picture, but I can’t tell what it is, if anything.

The voice playing over the oven picture seems to be saying the following groups of numbers:

3 1 8 2
7 9 1 2 6
7 9 1 2 6
3 9 2 0 5
3

I’m curious. Where did you first run across this?

ok, here’s the next question I get after looking at the source code for the “asia awaits” page:

Alexander cut me,
An oracle predicted me,
A future king tied me,
Say my name to clear your path

I feel really stupid.

How do you look at source code?

With mozilla, go to “view” on your top task bar. “page source” should be one of the items. Netscape and Explorer probably have similar commands.

The answer to this one is:

Gordian Knot

Hope this helps.

Yeah, I got that much, what’s getting me stuck is giving the answer in such a way that it the password prompt (when you click “asia awaits”) will accept it and let me go to the next page.

I take it you have to have some programming knowledge in order to complete this puzzle? I’m perplexed and confused by the whole thing.

But what do I do with that?

Here’s something on it.

SPOILERS

Alexander Gordian from that site is not the password.

Alexander is the user name and Gordian is the password

On the page with the truck “words” is spelled in invisible text (seen by highlighting it) above the picture, and a bunch of numbers below the picture.

The truck picture

In the source code for the truck picture, the numbers are ascii code. Hold down the alt key and type one set of numbers, will give you a letter.

I meant to say, “words” is spelled backwards at the top, in invisible text.

If you guys want me to spoil the fun, I do know how to advance a couple pages (although I didn’t figure it out myself.)

If you do, just make sure to use spoiler boxes for outright answers :wink:
