 		Got it, for a lousy .5 IP. I am fiending for some IP's.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The missing letters are the key. Read between them.

 		Q25
That was pretty easy for something labeled hard.

Edit: Duh. It seems that low/high corresponds to the number of variations available on the question and not the difficulty. So on a question marked low, there is only one question and solution. If a question is marked high, there are many variations on the question so we all get something different.

 		I don't have it yet, but it seems to be a trend in this set of puzzles, missing pieces, missing artwork, etc.

 		I was happy to see that I didn't have to hurt my head too hard on today's question. I am trying to figure out what the three clues I have so far will add up to. So far, they don't seem to be related.

 		I must be ridiculously stupid because I can't seem to get #24. I got the clock part but I can't get the compass part.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I know they're supposed to form a word, but I don't see it. The closest thing I can come up with is "LTI" because the last two directions don't form letters or one single letter. "LTI isn't the beginning of a word either so I can't just fill in the blank.

Yes, it seems so.

On the first questions there where two ratings. One for the variation and one for the difficulty.

I personally would prefer not posting big hints or even answers, especially if nobody asked for them. Even though we are working cooperatively there is nevertheless some kind of challenge.
It seems that there are some lurkers around (or people with backup accounts) Smile

Cooperative solving is sometimes necessary, e.g. Q18 and it is also fine to post some smaller hints. If someone is really stuck a PM can also help.

Strange, was there no second direction for the first "pair". Or is it N-E instead of NE? Could you post a screenshot of the whole note?

 		Finally got it. Stupid. Very stupid. I almost just walked away from this. Whatever. Moving on.

Pardon me whilst i take the stupidity to a whole new level. I think i'm grasping the concept of what needs to be done thanks to the hints, but i'm not actually getting anywhere. Here's my post it -



Note the word 'WARS' at the bottom, at the moment i don't understand how that links in.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I get that we need to inverse the digital watch characters, my image inverses to Att, i then try inversing using the directions given and the characters i get in order are E, H, a square with a line above it?, H, t. Anagramming leaves me with nothing, and the weird square character is making me think i'm doing something wrong here.


Is this right? What am i missing, or am i going about this in totally the wrong way? Any more hints will be gratefully received Smile

 		Q26
I see that Q26 is posted. Haven't tackled it yet, but I'm concerned about the colored dots. If the color is important to the solution, I'm handicapped because I'm colorblind. Not totally, but enough to not see some colors correctly. Here goes nothing.....

 		Adventurik,

It does appear that the colors matter.

 		I managed to get the correct answer to Question 26, so if anyone needs clues or hints or anything, just let me know.

 		Q26
I am pretty sure to know how to connect the points and the table and I got a nice drawing. But now I do not see how to get the passphrase.

Is the drawing a reference to a star constellation? If yes, I have problems to find the correct one.
