Thanks for the link, Enigmaster. Here I was thinking atbash was some language I hadn't heard of. But no, today's google advertisement is that it decrypts ancient hebrew ciphers. Cool!

I just had to remember that if I get stuck in a corner, it's easier to start over. Going back and checking all the symbols can boggle the mind.

It's probably your answer to the 2nd question. Search for something that was built in 1190.

I did the same thing. It's a tricky question.

They did say one letter that was "clearly lowercase" - the O's could have been either (notwithstanding their sizes they are the same shape), but only the F was clearly a lowercase letter.

The lowercase letter question was silly, but at least they didn't make it require sound this time.

I couldn't find the last "Blade" thing. Stupid shrubbery cutting my eye. Looking like a pirate is bad enough, but having no peripherial vision sucks.

Two are right along the bottom of the pic.
One is along the left side silghtly above center
Those three stand out pretty well.
One is the top of a larger pyramid about 2/3 of the way along the top.

I just noticed this game today. Other than the prizes, has it been worth playing so far? Should I even bother with it?
