This is what I entered 5/9/86

I hope that helps someone.

Why you enter that date?

And so you're out? What does it say when you try to go back to the page?

Just get a black page
If it helps, there is a U2U sent from WhispersInTheDark to those who enter an incorrect answer

Hope this helps those who are still in the running!

It is not a date.

You have to buy 5 gold, 9 silver and 86 wood tailsmans with your 100 euros.

Okay new clue with new color
Instead of gray, this was in white
HELP ME!

it was spotted on StickyG's last post on www.abovetopsecret.com...

As with the gray clues, a refresh or a quote removes the clue

New clue in gray:
the destination is from within

When you go back to the page, it is just a BigBlackNothing...

I received a U2U from WhispersInTheDark:

I think we need to:

1. Find the talismans. Online store? I searched thru the ATS store at CafePress, but found no talismans...

2. Find Grand Master. There is a member named Grandmaster - perhaps once we find the talismans, we need to U2U the url where they were found?

3. Find the riddle. Will Grand Master reveal the riddle once the talismans are delivered?

4. Solve the riddle.

5. Input the answer to the riddle.

Or, maybe it is as simple as the correct ratio of talismans that needs to be input...who knows?

lol, that is not right, that's leaves change left over.

the correct amount is
1 Gold
29 Silver
70 Wood

that's 100 tali's costing exactly 100 euros.

by TA:
the correct amount is
1 Gold
29 Silver
70 Wood

that's 100 tali's costing exactly 100 euros.

As I said before...that's the only combination I found that equalled 100 talisman for 100 Euros.

Good Luck All!

p.s. don't forget the 24 goats!?
[edit for brainfart]

1/29/70 . . . forget the 24 goats.

They were simply to lead you to the URL.

* I think?!

[edit on 10/27/2005 by 12m8keall2c]

the 24 goats is the clue to find the link to submit your answer.
we might want to pay attention to the various caps and number combinations that have been found

1 gold tailsman is 6 Euros
29 silver at 3 Euors a piece is 87 Euros
70 wood is 35

That makes 128.

70 wood is 35

70 wood @ .1 =7 no?

omg.

I used 0.5 instead of 0.1 :bnghd:

New clue in gray
the correct order is the order

1 gold tailsman is 6 Euros
29 silver at 3 Euors a piece is 87 Euros
70 wood is 35
That makes 128.

That is actually incorrect
Wood talismans cost .7 euros so 70 wood talismans would cost 7 euros

Well what is taking you guys?
Someone enter 1/29/70

I want to see what prize I missed out on

That's not the answer.

You tried it? agggg. There must be clues we are missing.

Based on your "sad face" I assume you used your "guess" for that?!

The ratios meet the apparent requirements, at least as of now.

Sorry BH

but on a brighter note....have you tried that "poppers" recipe yet?!

lol guys. Only other thing I can think of is to enter it like 29/1/70 or even 29/1/1970

Why? cause the dates expressed on this site are done DAY first, MONTH 2nd, and YEAR last.

BUT BUT BUT! WAIT! There are still other clues! and one of them is /0
and remember zero is key.

I still don't think that a date at all is the answer. I am on to some other things with this puzzle. But if one of you's wants to risk it...Hey, be my guest. I'm sure not gonna, till I really feel I have the answer. I don't think it is a date. But hey I could well be wrong. It could be a date. Then again, remember "Beware what you think is the first answer."

*buries self in clues again*

Yes, I didn't think that was the right answer, but I'm really kind of stressed out about the game. I've been spending entirely too much time sitting here scouring for clues! My house is a mess!

but on a brighter note....have you tried that "poppers" recipe yet?!

No, but I have the recipe printed out. Hmmm... maybe I should make them to console myself...

I've been working on this quietly since the beginning, but what were the guesses you guys tried and with what syntax??

here's the out list:
12m8keall2c
kenshiro2012
riley
simon_alex0327
drlau
Burgess
Umbrax
Psyche
Benevolent Heretic

I think since it's a script running this, syntax is absolutely key to getting the right answer.
