cool video, but not sure how it helps with level 4. i see the golden gate bridge in the video but thats not on Lombard street. Do you think that blue was hinting towards google street view (labeled with blue lines) or a hint telling us what to look for on Lombard street?

i think blue was hinting towards the sea....like the deep blue and you can see the sea from lombard street or blue could mean something blue like the blue house on lombard street

On the video what is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the picture at 17 seconds. It has some blue object in it but I can't make out what it is. Looks like it is on a wall or something.

 Speculation
YouTube Clue

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK" - This sign was featured in the YouTube video three times. Notice that this sign is blue. I have searched via street view of Lombard Street in all directions and cannot find it anywhere. Can anyone think of an alternate meaning that this sign might have, related to this puzzle? I might be on the wrong track, but its worth a try. Rolling Eyes

Good point Puzzle Solver. Although I am getting the feeling that "Enter at your own risk" means exactly what it says. I have spent many hours on these puzzles, racking my head on each one. My hair has gone grey and I am starting to lose it as well. I think it might have to do with the addicting behavior these puzzles create. But that is just me.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A side note. The video opens with "Enter at your own risk" and then cycles twice over a bunch of images. The cycle begins with "Enter at your own risk". So like you said, that phrase is displayed 3 times. Also the image of the "Enter at..." seems altered or the colors seem inverted so the sign might actually be a different color.... Well I just checked in photoshop, if you invert the "enter at..." image it turns the sign yellow just like most signs you see on the road. I guess there might be more meaning behind it.

 Puzzle 4
You Tube Clue - Answer hidden in spoiler text below...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the YouTube video, if you go very slowly, there is a picture of what looks like a brick wall with a sliver of blue on the left side. This is a close up of something on Street View of Lombard St. If you find this, you will be able to solve this puzzle.

Response to Rafinhah

I'm sorry, unfortunately if your Google maps is not working, you may need to borrow a friend's computer. You need to see this in order to solve it.

What you are looking for is not a landmark.

If it's not the trash can (which looks more green than blue), it's the guy's blue jeans who's taking a picture.
There's something that looks like a light on the very upper-leftmost corner of the wall, itself. But it's much to unclear to be sure and really more of a silver glint than anything "blue"..

"Blue Clue" Puzzle 4...
Another hint

Without giving it away...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The picture moves very quickly at :12 in the YouTube video. The image "looks like" a dark, plain brick wall with something blue on the left. Look for this between Hyde and Leavenworth. The object you will find is truly blue. The object itself is not the answer, but once you're there its easy to figure out. I hope this helps Smile

 Puzzle four: Solved
Clue to get you closer to your target

Without giving away the answer...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Focus on what this Lombard is known for: not the whole of Lombard. Also: Change the way you look at things- and the things you look at will change...you have options on how you 'view' this street and the 'things' on it. PS- CAREFUL on the video- the clue image for this one was at 17 seconds for me- not 12- so you may just want to go thru and look; the blue clue is there. Pay attention to the surrounding image to help you find it on Lombard

Jeez. Once you see it, you wonder how you missed it. That's blue, alright. And noticeable even when zoomed all the way out.

puzzle 5

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

There is text displayed above the colored box that is upside down and backwards. It says:

You have been used to hints and/or clues to help you along your way. Well, that time is all but over. You are nearing the end of the first Codefused puzzle trail and things will become extremely difficult. Solving the last of these puzzles might best be achieved by including your friends and their "points of view". So search the forums for ideas, or post your own thoughts so another might be able to stretch that thought further. Good Luck!

Think about the words 'points of view' - this is meaningful.
