 		Blast! If only my sleep-deprived mind had thought to use the output from the INTERCAL rather than simply dismiss it.

Another chance to make a contribution slips through my grasp. Curses!

At any rate, I'm with Amandel -- this riddle sounds like it solves to "the horizon."

And indeed it does: http://argensoft.netau.net/horizon.html

Note that this is a different set of directions from "figure_it_out.html"

I'm going to see what I can come up with from the puzzle now.

EDIT: Indeed,

  • A BALL OF FIRE DIES
  • BUT FROM THE END COMES
  • MANY NEW BEGINNINGS


Sunset, maybe?

Bingo.

A ball of fire died
But from the end comes
Many new beginnings.

A ball of fire dying would probably be a star going nova.

 		I thought so too, but neither supernova nor nova work.

Nor do sunset, dusk, or nightfall, if we're thinking poetically

EDIT: But http://argensoft.netau.net/nebula.html works, obviously. We were thinking about the "ball of fire," not the "new beginnings"

CAN YOU SOLVE MY RIDDLE?


Yes, CADIE, I think we're showing that we can.

Okay guys, on that note, what can we put in the nigh-invisible textbox on nebula.html? (To find it, click anywhere on the page and tab into it.)

That was base 64 for anyone who didn't know the solve.

CADIE's been using Base64 a lot, so I'm using it right back.

According to the source that image is named "the_clues_location.gif." does that mean we have to break it apart somehow?

On the upper right of that image you can put in a cursor, so I think we're supposed to put a pw there. Ideas? or not! Embarassed

 		Okay, wait.

The action submits to another page, and passes a variable called volume-canto.

Remember that we got a reference to Dante's Inferno earlier. Dante's Inferno used cantos for its narrative meter.

Thus, I think we need to find out in which volume and canto, "abandon all hope, ye who enter here" lies. I'm almost 100% certain it's in volume one of the Divine Comedy, since that volume is Dante's Inferno.

Now what canto...?

EDIT: I'm fairly certain it's Canto III. Now what format are we parsing for? I-III, 1-3, and 13 don't work.

 		Hold the phone -- the form submits back to the same HTML page. Unless they've fiddled with their servers a bit, I don't think it's running any dynamic code. That means the GET is likely useless but to show us the Vol-Canto text in the URL.

Unlike "bamboo.html," which submitted to "crunch.php," this submits to a static HTML page, and thus is almost certainly incapable of actually processing anything we put into that field.

So what now, then?

Perhaps Volume - Canto - Line?

I gave that a shot and it yielded nothing (tried I-III-IX, 139, and 1-3-9)

If my theory's correct, though, it doesn't matter what we put in there.

Oooh, maybe we need to desteg the image with that? Let's try that.

Edit: StegHide doesn't like .GIF files. Hmm...

 		What we see is a flickering light, so maybe this is meant to lead us back to flickr?
