this picture was discovered a while ago. But that doesnt mean its a dead end. I must admit I thought that for a while...

I could argue the point both ways and I am back on the fence.

Riddles: they either delight or torment. Their delight lies in solutions. Answers provide bright moments of comprehension perfectly suited for children who still inhabit a world where solutions are readily available. Implicit in the riddle's form is a promise that the rest of the world resolves just as easily. And so riddles comfort the child's mind which spins wildly before the onslaught of so much information and so many subsequent questions.










The adult world, however, produces riddles of a different variety. They do not have answers and are often called enigmas or paradoxes. Still the old hint of the riddle's form corrupts these questions by reechoing the most fundamental lesson: there must be an answer. From here comes torment.

Ref the blocks (1 I don't think so, unless landing on the tarot card TWICE is intentional to throw us off.

I'm not aware of any other page in the puzzle that has TWO answers. From the tarot card, one answer yields the gas mask dude, which is a pretty solid red herring if I recall. The other answer given...I've not seen that one before and I don't recognize the page it goes to.

Looks like we and the tweleve are dead...Or too busy to post something, or even to make something useful...

People have given up at the blocks, it's a general consensus. Grngecko originally had a geocache with a similar riddle, entitled "child's play".

On that note, the above list of answers is wrong. People seem to have assumed that because "childsplay" took them somewhere else, it was a correct answer. Furthermore, why would 19 have two different answers that led to two different new riddles?

It's a real shame that this was never completed, it's even more of a shame that as a result, no-one is interested in Grngecko's latest puzzle, the Tunnels of Zurich.

From what I understand, Grngecko has given two clues already for the blocks puzzle. Perhaps the third time is the charm.

There are so many people still working on this it seems to be crazy. Lets not give up hope... Tweleve is still on this thing as well.

edit....

Ok here are a few thoughts I have been playing with.... nothing earthshattering:

1. Look at the order of the puzzles.. or better yet look at how they are solved.. Is there a pattern?
2. Going waaaaay back there were the Hebrew symbols.. did anyone find out what they say..
3. I remeber a few puzzles where the answer wasnt perfect.. there was a letter missing or too much.. significance?

What I was referencing 2 pages ago was Morse code..

well lets keep at it.

ok.. the clues GG has left recently have to do with Stoicism.. - removing all emotion. Just logic

The logic says if after 2 years we got no solve its a dead end.

The most plausible place we went wrong is the candle. I was just too easy. I asked this almost 2 years ago.. but isn't it possible.


The candle asks us to shout our rosary.. with the words illumiated.
Luminous roasry...

Cant find the key word though..

Has it ever been discussed that on some pages, if you highlight everything, the word torment is in the corner? Could this have something to do with anything at all? Some pages have it and others do not.
