Just curious to know how many of you made it through to the end and got all of them? And would you be interested in seeing another something like that in the future? Hope you had fun with it. :) Ney

Thanks :) I found it. I got the first one but am stuck on the second one. I'll have to look at it tomorrow when I'm more awake. I'm so sleepy that I'm heading to bed now at 8pm, LOL

I got some kind of zip file when I clicked "download", but it unzipped to a giant text file that was unopenable. definitely won't be doing that 19 times ;-) but good luck.

The file is in .PDF format and can be opened with Adobe Reader, which is free. A Google search (or your favourite search engine) will bring it up. :)

yes, I see now, it's a pdf file. "it comes first and follows after, ends life and kills laughter." gadzooks - they're all available via google search, although I haven't the foggiest why darkness kills laughter. can't a chap laugh in the dark if he fancies it? a clever concept - make them work for it, do the cutting-and-pasting iteration until they get all 17 of them ;-) but I'll still skip it.

"although I haven't the foggiest why darkness kills laughter. can't a chap laugh in the dark if he fancies it?" i got a completely different answer and jumped a clue. got it now though
zollster posted Tue, 10 January 2006 at 9:23 PM
jumped even more clues now. typed a random word and got the 17th clue which i got straight away. still stuck on the highest to lowest clue though
Stegy posted Tue, 10 January 2006 at 10:46 PM
Got all 17!!!

Solved them all in half an hour, although I'll admit that I had to resort to help on a couple.
Some, of course, I already knew. Riddle-lore is an interest of mine.
Thanks.

There are 17?
All I found was 9 and I reached the end of them according to the last .pdf

Ok, I've solved riddles 1 to 11 and have those files. I also accidently found a clue that lead me to files 14 to 17. I'm stuck on Riddle #12 (I'm seven times seventy...). Can someone send me a hint in PM? I found the others without having to look to net searches, but I caved and tried to find this one in Google and didn't have any luck.

That was fun. I got all 17. It took awhile though.

I got a couple of hints for #12 in PM, but that didn't help me.
I found 15/17 so that's not bad! :) And I'm proud that I managed to figure those out without hints or resorting to looking them up on the net. So I'm happy :)
Thanks for the great T-Hunt and gorgeous backgrounds. :)

I had the same issue, got to number 13, answered what must have been the answer to number 16, because I ended up on 17. haven't gotten 13-15 yet, but working on it. :D Acadia...try to think of something that belongs to Dumbledore....
rhiafaery posted Thu, 12 January 2006 at 10:14 AM
whew got them all now...that was really fun, what a great idea!
Acadia posted Thu, 12 January 2006 at 2:24 PM
I got them all yesterday thanks to a hint on #12. I'd never have gotten that in a million years because it's not something I am familiar with other than the name and once I knew it, someone had to explain how it related to the riddle. It was fun and I even learned something too :)

LOL, I think I deleted my folder with these backgrounds and now I have to go through and do it all again :(

Oh no! LOL! Acadia, don't do that. Send me an IM with your addy and I'll email them to you. :)

hehe. I already redid them. Thank you though :) It was much faster the second time around. Although I got stuck on ones this time that I breezed through the first time.

We have lots of new Poser users and seeing that this was such fun, I thought maybe they would like to give it a go.Seventh row down.
The backgrounds are really very beautiful.
