- 3 Mars 2007, 23:25:55This is a good idea for a riddle that became an extremely bad riddle. I'm giving it 2 instead of 1 because of how good the idea is. It would be worth a 5 easily if not for the following:
1. You have to rely on google's particular algorithm for calculating routes. If they ever change their algorithm (or if you use some other directions provider), it's entirely possible you will get a different route, and this riddle will come down to giving up or guessing.
2. The precise address for "b" is not available through google. You can get an approximate location, which just happens to be good enough right now. Google seems to know where "a" is but it's a somewhat arbitrary location that could also change in the future. Again, if google ever changes the way they do things the answer you get could easily change.
Why on earth not use locations that give less ambiguous routes?

- 17 Février 2007, 06:17:24Just to respond to Krazykirb, I did know the correct method of solving the riddle, but I really think it wasn't very clear. I would say more, but it will probably be censored. Also, I posted it in the help thread so people would see my advice; I want them to guess, and not waste their time trying to work it out. Also, I agree with Beuker, I still think O-F is a great site, and I admire Swan for all the time and effort he puts into these levels.

Sorry dude, but your advice at telling people to "guess" the answer, when there are well over a quarter of million words in the american dictionary, is just ridiculous!! I'm more than positive that if you really understood the riddle you would know what to. Every riddle has a set number of steps and logic behind it. Understanding each will guarantee you the correct answer. Obviously your thought process was incomplete.
As I said before, feel free to PM me your notes and I'll gladly explain to you, your mistakes. But whatever you do, please don't give such awful advice to other players as to guess!

- 6 Février 2007, 14:37:15I have to agree with an of miftery here. This is a brilliant game, no doubt about it, but this is not one of the more brilliant levels, I feel. Found both locations, used different routeplanners (as well as m****.***) but no clear directions seem to result, so had to try all combinations in the end.
So: fun route to the answer, but entering it is a buit useless.
Just to be clear: keep up the good work, love the game

- 25 Janvier 2007, 02:29:27This is probably gonna get moved to opinions, but honestly, people, just guess. The maps don't work. I just guessed every possibility, and eventually one worked. Not one of the better levels. Sorry Swan

Regarding your comment, that's only because you didn't solve the riddle as you were supposed to. If you PM me your answer and notes, I'll gladly explain to you how you were supposed to have done it!
If you knew this would be moved, why post it in the help thread??
