 		On the entries comments:

Quote:
Death is naked before God;
Destruction lies uncovered.

He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.

He wraps up the waters in his clouds,
yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.

He covers the face of the full moon,
spreading his clouds over it.

He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters
for a boundary between light and darkness.

The pillars of the heavens quake,
aghast at his rebuke.

By his power he churned up the sea;
by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.

By his breath the skies became fair;
his hand pierced the gliding serpent.

And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
how faint the whisper we hear of him!
Who then can understand the thunder of his power?


Which is a bible quote, Job 26, 6-14. It can be found here


Oh, and there doesn't seem to be a tyx on EFnet

Shouldn't that be i=8 w=9 a=5 s=1 h=4 t=2 o=6 h=3 e=7 l=5 p=0? I WISH TO HELP, rather than I WSSH TO HELP?

Although, at this point, maybe we just need to do more wsshing and less wishing. Smile

 		hallo, just started this game....

went on the blog, went on irc but tyx is oline but mute, sent the mail, got a response:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Hello,

Thank you for contacting me. I am Nez. From a higher order, I have been asked to test your knowledge. Please refrain from cheating via Google or friends or any other means. Contemplation can be a good thing.

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives;
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kits;
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?

- Nez


I got a little doubt on this riddle......
Sent back the answer and i really hope that on the other side there will be a human and not a bot....
Because of my doubt i specified all the three answers that can be good for me......

I think that can be :

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

2401 : if is simply 7x7x7x7
2402 : if i had to count also the man
1: if the man got 7 wives but them are @home....................................????


anyway i wait for an answer from nez...

----------------------------------------------------------------

ok, i got the answer from nez.....
if somebody wants i can give the right anwer but anyway is really simple so i think nobody needs my help....
Anyway i can say that i can't really get what the nez answer means......

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Hello,

Indeed, only the man was going to St. Ives. He simply met the woman with her cats along the way TO St. Ives.

You are correct, and therefore will be contacted again in the not too distant future.

EEEEEEEEEEHHHH????????
what does it mean that the man simply meet the woman on the way???????
and the 7 wives?????


--------------------------------------------------
sorry to edit again......
i see this on irc....

* [tyx] (~tyx@node-1667.tor.pppoe.execulink.com): tyx
* [tyx] irc.arcti.ca :That's not snow.. We're just frigid.
* [tyx] End of WHOIS list.
* [tyxx] (~tyx@node-3281.tor.pppoe.execulink.com): tyx
* [tyxx] irc.arcti.ca :That's not snow.. We're just frigid.
* [tyxx] End of WHOIS list.

What goes on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?

See you soon,

This is one of those famous types of riddles that requires you to read and interpret it correctly in order to get the answer.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives;
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kits;
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?

We know that the speaker is going to St. Ives, but the riddle doesn't specfically say that the husband, wives, cats and kittens were going to St. Ives. There are only a few ways the speaker could have met them on the road. Either they were also going to St. Ives and he passed them, they weren't going anywhere and he met them on the side of the road, or he met them coming as they were coming from St. Ives. The classical interpretation for the solution is that the group was coming from St Ives and that the speaker met them on the road as he was going one way (to St Ives) and they were going another (away from St Ives). Hence the answer is One.

This is of course a human. Crawls in infancy, walks on two legs through most of life, and uses a cane in old age.

 		The St. Ives riddle is a wave 4 card for perplexcity, that was pre-released in papers in the UK recently. And the ages of man riddle was a wave 1 or 2 card, as I recall.

And yes Nez does seem easily confused about the elements of the riddle but the correct answer is one - it doesn't say the man he met (w/wives/sacks/cats) was going to St. Ives.

Yeah, somebody else said that to me...jeez that's a stupid one..

and here's my reply:

Quote:
Hello,

Thank you for your answer. That is correct.

Included in this email is a link to a website containing an MP3 audio file for download. I ask that you download it, listen to it -- perferably undisturbed -- and note any emotional response.

Please note, the link will only stay up for 7 days and has a maximum number of 100 downloads. At the current time, we have refrained from using our own hosting serivce as it would be possible for somebody to find personal information about us in such a way. I ask that you download this file once. It is also possible to delete the file, I ask that you please do not do that, as the link may have to be passed on.

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=4499CB2769FEED85

- Nez



the audio file is too big to upload on UF, suggestions?

I'm not sure it's important, because the audio file seems to be Greet Death by Explosions in the Sky

Also, it says that the audio file is layered, does that mean there could be something hidden in it?

never mind that

EDIT: I'm thinking that it's unimportant, just a refrence to the name, me thinks, there doesn't seem to be any relevant information on Explosions in the Sky

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The following is a message to phantomaz,

Note, the riddle has no meaning for either Nez, Abaddon, nor the objective. It was simply a test of knowledge. You passed, as you can see. Please wait for further instructions.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hello,

Thank you for contacting me. From a higher order, I have been asked to test your knowledge. While we are aware people cheat, we ask that you truly do contemplate the question.

There is one that has a head without an eye,
And there's one that has an eye without a head.
You may find the answer if you try;
And when all is said,
Half the answer hangs upon a thread.

What am I?

Thank you,
Nez


Now I'm pretty sure I'm right, but I haven't slept in 30 something hours.. so I _could_ be wrong...

But the answer should be 'Needle' right? Well, that's what I sent in the mail back anyway ^_^
