"Listen To It" was in the Austin Powers clue.

I don't mean Radio Gaga the station (does it exist??) or Radio Gaga the song. I mean the masked voice when you solve a side.

Another interesting idea is that of a beziere cipher, where the numbers stand for phonetic sounds instead of specific letters. Problem is there's only about 50 phonemes in the English language.

Still, I believe this is also known as a Royal Cipher, which has some Queen-related relevance, and I guess you could call GaGa a phonetic sound?

Are any of y'all crypto experts that could test/shoot down this theory?

I converted the numbers into words based on the lyrics in Radio Gaga and noticed a pattern.

Wow! Finally a possible lead! Anyone else thinking that we have to eliminate letters to get words for face 6?
The only thing I see potentially wrong with this lead is it doesn't seem to use the Austin Powers clue... Then again, we aren't done yet I suppose.

Here are the sentences that are in that wordsearch bit.

Add to panic not to horror
Alibi Proof
Show which idea fit
Big hello to Ed
Royal rhino to pick answer
SHock me today help ma read
You toss apple
visit church game
Dogs are fine
Glad to borrow pen
High above
Aim mini rig through street

Putting them in order according to the key order:

not solved

I think that face three is solved and the answer to the riddle is the answer to face four, personally. (Especially since it says use keypad, etc)

[xardox]

Check the http://www.virtuquest.com

Side three is still listed as NOT SOLVED.

Side one triggered when

[aznxasazn]

Actually, I think they only knew side 1 was solved when side 2 was completed and after reading this forum (and yes they clearly do). I doubt they've read the progress on face 3 so far, though I could be wrong of course. I am presuming the answer to the riddle is the answer to face 4.
As for the "good doctor", Dr. Seuss is sometimes called the "good doctor". Mainly of course the idea that triggered him as being the "good doctor" is the silly sammy slick clue I got back in february.

There are two books written by Dr. Seuss that use this name:
Seuss-isms for Success: insider tips on economic health from the good doctor
Seuss-isms: wise and witty prescriptions for living from the good doctor

[L.Boomer]

I agree it needs to be put in the face 4 calculator as an answer. I have tried simple things like


shoes = 53045
hell = 7734
legs = 5937

but no luck, It might even be a sentence which would explain the strange line deliniations. ______ ____ ___ _____ 6/4/3/5 when turned upside down. If it is Dr. Seuss, then it could possibly rhyme.

Hope that makes sense, I am tired and just tossing out ideas so others might get an idea.

Aye, there are a few possibilities here. "looks down" could mean that we do it as you have been doing it and form words out of upside down letters. If that is the case, we can only really form words out of the letters: b,e,g,h,i,l,o,s,z which doesn't allow for much..especially since the answer seems to be a 4 word answer.

Another possibility (and what I think is more plausible) is that it is 4 words as they would appear if they were SMSs/typed into a phone, etc. What I am further unsure of is if a letter like C would be one 2 or if it would be considered three 2s. If the latter is the case, the second word is probably "I".
After running through a list of book titles and character names the only pre-hyphenated grouping of 4 words I could find is

Beagle-Beaked-Bald-Headed

which unfortunately doesn't fit no matter how you go about it.

So far the only real Dr. Seuss book I can find referring to looking
down is Yertle the Turtle

[dcthejoker]

Looking down could also mean looking further down the page... which has a piano. There's a book by Dr. Seuss about a guy and a magical piano...

[kbwojo]

I wanted my first post should be a good one so here is the answer to side 4.

[konamouse]

Wait, I'm confused. What is the actual solve to Face 3?

[xar]

Side 3 and 4 solve
