 		When I was told what the redundancy actually meant, I was kinda upset. However, depending what you've been researching, you may notice some odd similarities in the subject matter. It's not much of a hint, but it may help you know you're when looking in the right direction.

As far as the sun, it's symbolic. It's probably your most solid clue. I don't think the dots will help you.. but know all you can about them. You'll know you found the right thing when the dots make sense.

 		Still stuck on #11. Like I said I found all of the eggs and now i understand i need to decrypt the message. starting with translating the first egg so i have letters, now i have the second egg but i can't figure out the keyword. using a website to try and figure that out, i've decided the keyword must be 13 letters long. am i wrong?

So you solved this without figuring out the redundancy? It was explained to you after you solved it?

I don't mean to be ungrateful but your hint just isn't leading me anywhere. None of the hints I've gotten have helped at all. I have come to the conclusion that I'm just not smart enough for these riddles. The fun factor is disappearing rapidly.

Yes, I figured it out without understanding redundancy. Even knowing what it means, I think it's a lousey clue.

Like I said, I would start with the sun. If you tell me what you've tried so far, I'll try to point you in the right direction, but not on this board Smile

 		I would like to PM you with what I've tried but I can't because you aren't registered. So I'll spoiler it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
As regards the sun, I know that it is believed the egyptians used the sun to help them align the pyramids to the cardinal points. The egyptians had the first 365 day calendar, the first 12 hour day and 12 hour night, which was the time it took Ra or Re to travel across the sky. The pyramid and sphinx are representations of the sun. Other gods were later given the attributes of Ra. My favorite tidbit is that the great pyramid is at the center of the earth's land mass and perfectly aligned to true north but I digress. Augustus Caesar introduced the leap year to correct the egyptian calendar.

 		epistahl, you're so close!!! Look for a pattern in what you have. Look for a way you can use that egg you talked about to get what you need to use the final egg.

To be honest, nothing in that is a spoiler. However, please re-read that paragraph and think Other = Redundant

That should get you pointed in the right direction.[/spoiler]

 		I agree, this is getting more frustrating than fun.

I'm stuck on 12 as well. Tried everything relating to the sun and Ra and whatnot. No luck. We need more hints. Or an answer.

 		Know all you can about the dots? They're dots. They are red and one pixel dots. That's about all there is to know.
