21. Makes no sense on any level that I can see. And the frvade help forum is sadistic in the extreme. Help me.

Sir Goulum · 09-27-2005, 04:45 PM

Oh jeez, 21 is ridiculous, even by my standards(but it gets worse on 25 & 26, trust me)... it was a bloody miracle that we even got this one.

You see in the source code, there's the image file listed there? Go to it. Now, pretend that you are blind and viewing this on the computer. What other senses, since eyes/seeing is out, can you use with the computer? Change the file extension accordingly.
MAJOR HINT- Download it and use Windows Media Player. It's the only way you'll get the answer.
Edit- Well, not the only way... i've hidden the answer somewhere here too.

Argh, 21 was near impossable to get without that hint SirG. I have no idea how you got that yourself. Well onto 22 then.

Sir Goulum · 09-27-2005, 06:53 PM

Lots of fiddling and diddling. It was really a random guess that I didn't think would do anything.

Anyone else on 29 yet?

Make that 30. 29 was easy. All three sections in ten minutes. Most of which was spent taking the wrong way through section b. 30 is hard.

Holy cow, you've jumped ahead of me. Can you give some ideas for 29B?

lost prophet · 09-29-2005, 02:24 AM

whats the source code? is that what comes up in the toolbar?

andrewas · 09-29-2005, 05:29 AM

Prohet - The source code is the HTML for the page. In most browsers, rightclick on the page (not the image, the background), and select view source.None of the clues up till 30 have required you to actualy know HTML, the clues are in image names, or hidden sections of code, or in comments.

Goulum - level 29 is where the men are seperated from the boys, so it speak. In short, It's frowned on to give much in the way of a hint. Still, 29b is solved the same way 29a was, it might help to study that poem in detail.
