remember, ever page has a clue to help you. the only thing on the page is the picture. take it literally.


finally understood what this keyword for this page is. i'm on the "art" page. looks familiar, i'll have to think about it. i dig the clue though Cool

edit: its late, i'm going to bed. hopefully you can catch the drift of the clue. its a bit of a pain though because i had to do a lot of work by hand. there is no online tool for this one.

 		Ok...this morse code one is driving me freakin' crazy! I know *where* the coordinates are pointing, and I know *what* is there (trying to not give any spoilers away). I tried using just the name of the object and about two dozen different things to do with the object, and nothing.
ARGH!
And the ones after this one are even harder?
Greengecko...you are pure evil. Twisted Evil

Which one are you having trouble with? I'll see if I can give you an innocent hint. I actually just cleared the art page. I got it the first entry since I recognized the clue, so I'm actually going back to make sure this isn't some kind of false path.

Edit : HAHAHAHAH! I finally found a false path! My first guess seems like the correct path and my second revealed the pitfall. Very cute.

 		Oh man ... if you don't know you're art history, you are completely screwed.

I'm on the third famous painting right now. I know the title of the work, but that doesn't seem to be the keyword. I'll have to think on this one a while.

Edit : oh poop. I got the 3rd painting finally (phraseology is strict here), and on the 4th. That's one I don't recognize off hand.

 		Ok, I'm past the 4th, more obscure painting ... but the next work of art... uh ... I know it well, but I also know that the obvious leads to a dead end. I hope this whole little trail wasn't a diversion. I need some help here.

I shall help you along, since I need some people to catch up and help me out.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Read the clue carefully. Note the way its phrased. Once you find where its pointing, understand that the creator of the puzzle is Anglo and not a native of that country. The answer is in his native tongue


Hopefully that's enough of a hint without giving away too much. I will edit it if anyone disapproves. I will have to take some issue with Mr. Gecko here. I would think a more correct answer would have been
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
what the natives of that area call what you're directing us to, or at very least, make both answers point to the same place such as you did earlier in the puzzle with the dicitonary entry

If I've just wasted time solving 4-5 pages only to reach a dead end ... man you are a meanie.

I do really dig this though. Very well played.
