HELP FOR PASSWORD

Hello everybody!

I've bought the puzzles and been able to open them all, but it's not the same about the passwords...
ok for DaVinci, but i think i've tried everything possible for the Equation and the Legend... nothing's good !

PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOUND OUT THE PASSWORDS : CAN YOU HELP US ??? just a clue that would show the way...

THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!

The Equation
Attempting to understand the clues

Greetings from the Bayou State of Louisiana!

I picked these up, and the clues are driving me nuts. I started with DaVinci, and I enjoyed seeing how the clues interact with the mechanical puzzle and the password puzzle.

The clues for the Equation have me stumped.

If this works as DaVinci, the scroll contains the password puzzle:

The telesopic vision is not as it appears--it is the beginning of one and the end for another. Determine the specifics for each and get closer to the treasure.

This is how I'm breaking it down:

'The telescopic vision' is something seen through a telescope. For this particular case, I think it might be STARS.

'...is not as it appears': What appears to be a star, but isn't a star? A PLANET.

'It is the beginning for one and the end for another.' This sounds like a description for a CIRCLE.

So, I'm thinking PLANET CIRCLE is some sort of ORBIT.

I've tried various orbital equations with no success.

I'm trying to work through the clues in conjunction with the mechanical puzzle--arranging the puzzle pieces 'correctly' onto the base.

The Enigmatic Temple

I think I might have a dud Enigmatic Temple because it seems asthough the locking pin is slightly to long to enable me to turn the top panel.
Is this normal?

I thought I had a bad one too....and after my boyfriend broke it, I saw why I thought it was broken. My suggestion is to shake the thing like crazy and keep doing what you are doing. Eventually it will work.

The Equation
Attempting to understand the clues

Quote:

I haven't really looked at these puzzles in a while. I've gotten very frustrated as eveyone else has. In a post a long time ago, there was a "guest" that said something about "think more along the lines of eclipse". Now either it is a really cruel person who is playing tricks or someone who knows the password to the equation. I figured I would bring it back up to the newer forum members.

Not eclipses, but ellipses that all do truly start with the E that is of the dark pieces of the pattern solved. The clues will give you the mechanical answer, the beginning for the Newton one of this puzzle is the end for the other Galileo in 1643, but the telescopic vision is admittedly not as it appears in a Newtonian reflecting telescope. It is of the other handedness you see by being inverted.

Now you will have by certain have right.

Equation

Anonymous wrote:

Sometimes people of different countries write in ways that English-speaking people have a hard time to understand. Your last two sentences don't make too much sense, especially the last one. Can you explain it another way?

You mentioned Ellipses, and that would go along with DocMD's observation of orbits. Planetary orbits are ellipses and not circles. Maybe someday we will understand this confusing puzzle.

The Equation

Anonymous wrote:

Just wondering about this again. You say that when the puzzle is solved, you get the dark pieces to form the E. Does that mean that the E=mc2 equation is the answer? or a step toward the answer? And is the answer the password needed for the clue online? Do you know how all the clues fit together?

PASSWORDS

Hello everybody !

i'm still trying everything i can with the equation's and the king's passwords and i'm still unsuccessfull.
now i think it has something to do with the Saturn's rings for the equation and Stonehenge for the legend of the king, but everything i tried is not good !!!

can somebody tell me if i'm on a good way or not ? what is the nature of the password (an equation, a list of letters, a number, ... ?)

thank you for your help ! Surprised

Anyway, let me have a stab at it.
"The telesopic vision is not as it appears ..." because when you look through a Newtonian reflecting telescope the image is inverted, so what you see is not the real image ?

"--it is the beginning of one and the end for another." because in the same year the beginning of one - Newton born - was the end of the other - Galileo died. (It was 1642 actually, I think you made a typo)

"The theory is out, but the equation will bring you full circle." suggests that if Newton is the link, then maybe the formula is something to do with his Laws of Motion, or more likely Gravitation ? Hence the tie-in with elliptical orbits ?

Any more hints ?

After hours of twisting and shaking mine, the thing came apart. That was good as I got the scroll and dice out, but I think it might have come apart in a wrong way. The way it happened was I think the glue has failed at the base of the bit with the knob on. Is this wrong? Should the top square plate come off at the point where it twists? In it's open state, I am able to twist this block round and round now, as the locking pin cannot stop it, but still cannot seem to get it off, and don't know whether it's supposed to or not! Also I've noticed that the block twists round and round in an elliptical manner as though the pin holding it is in sqew (not straight). Can anyone enlighten me? Should I be getting my wood glue out to fix it?

Claire, we don't know the password for The Equation. Probably half or more of this thread covers our frustration at this puzzle. As for the Legend of the King, it probably is posted here somewhere if someone has it. If you find out either of them, please let us know.

High all,just recently discovered these puzzles and bought the first three.
Has the seventh puzzle been released yet.
Or is this game terminated.

No support

The official website has not been updated in over a year now.
The company refuses to send email back.
No one has ever solved the 2nd puzzles password (or are guarding the secret for some unknown reason).

I would, sadly, say these puzzles are dead. I saw a date for puzzle 7, but that has come and gone.

Sad really as they had great promise.
