 		[SOLVED]Wi th St th Gi an puzzle
Ok..it's been bugging me we haven't figured this out yet. I have no idea if it's going to lead us anywhere new, but it seems like it should mean something since it was edited at least once - presumably to make it easier for us?

So anyways, I got to thinking that maybe it referred to text in some of the pages - with the 3 capital letters it might be 3 different sentences. I found five 128 ASCIIs that would fit the pattern, but since I still can't get anything, I might totally be on the wrong track. But maybe it might give someone else a brainstorm as to what to do with this.

Quote:
Wide as door_to.php
the shore lg8.htm
Strong as in8.htm
th
Give it away n8.htm
and you have more na8.htm


The only other comment I found that might fit the second th is a ROT-18 on castor.htm: th'ocean - but that still doesn't help me.

Sorry for babbling on...I just sometimes think better outloud in the hopes that someone else might be able to come up with something better. And it is kinda interesting that five of the six 128 ASCIIs on the pages fit the pattern (the 6th is on archives.htm and is the french question from postpost).

But, in the large possibility that this is a wild goose chase, feel free to ignore this post Very Happy

 		I've been wondering about that puzzle as well. vis mentions a couple of times about the "six keys," and on the pollux.php he says "(strong, sea, etc.)"

Though really, the Japanese word (umi) can also mean "ocean".

"Wide as," "the shore," "Strong as," "the ocean" and "Give it away" all take you to pollux.php if you put them in the door.

"and you have more" doesn't work though; is there another phrase starting with an?

Excellent work though! Maybe it's some kind of riddle?

 		Hmm, if "and you have more" is right, we can make this thing into a rhyme:

Wide as the ocean
Strong as the shore
Give it away
and you have more

So what's the answer (if that's the riddle for us)?

Edit: I got it!
