Rules :
- DO NOT post answers, links, screenshots or level's elements. You'll get banned if you spoil the pleasure of others, even if they ask for.
If you request some help :
Don't be too specific but don't be too vague. It's rather hard to find the right way to ask but imagine yourself in a room with other players. You can't whisper and you need to solve a riddle, you have the right to ask for a clue those who have already solved it, but you don't want the other players to find before you. To understand what you're asking for, one should be at the same step. Don't spoil the steps for the others ! You can use metaphors if you want. Show us that you're smart!
Read this topic carefully, your question may have already been asked (and answered). There's no need to ask the same question twice, even if there's no answer.
If you help somebody :
Don't help him too much, don't deprive him the pleasure to find by himself, just guide him on the way without being too specific, using as much images, metaphors and maybe other riddles as you can. After all, you're smart too ;)!
If everybody plays by the rules, things will be much more funny and no one will get hurt.
Write in a correct language, ban SMS style and try to avoid spelling mistakes as much as possible.
I understand the clue, just need a little hint to push me a bit farther. I can't seem to think of it.
Just walk like him ;)
this one has me confused ...i don't know where to start..
Yet the clue is quite clear. Read it again and think about what Toma has writen.
is it a requirement that i know japanese to solve this riddle? or am i just thinking too hard.
I'm sure most of the people who solved this riddle don't know a single japanese word. Anyway, I don't ^^.
It helps if you know Japanese, but it's not necessary at all.
If you don't know Japanese the clue helps you find and interpret the answer. If you do know Japanese, it only helps you interpret the answer.
ok, maybe i'm just going in the wrong direction, but does the clue have anything to do with the other side of the world?
Nope.
somebody please help me figure this one out....i have tried everything and i dont understnad the hint.
Hi dear hairy cousine,
The best way to solve a riddle when you're completely lost is to take a big breath and strike out at it on a different angle.
I still got nothing man! I have tried everything imaginable as of yet...does it have something to do with him swinging his arm??
Absolutely not. It only depends on how you look at him. Try the japaneese way of looking.
what is the japanese way of looking??? quick? fast? backwards? upside down?
Well, the clue is not here just for fun. You'd better think before asking for any further help because you're close to the flood.
This is probably less for this particular riddle, than it is for the majority of this game, BUT . . .
I pretty much breezed through the first 17, and found that whene'er a clue involved the Google link, it was generally pushing me to look up a specific bit of information that the normal person wouldn't know off-hand.
Now there's this one, where, it appears that I will need some sort of, Google/outside assistance, be it for translation or conjugation, whatever, yet there is no search bar in the clue. This leads me to believe that all the information regarding the next solution is available to me, the normal schmuck who knows not a lick of Japanese, within the confines of the level's page, and the clue for the level. However, I suspect this isn't the case.
I'm perfectly happy with no response, but, generally speaking, if an outside source is needed, via google or some other search engine, will there always be a google link in the clue?
EDIT: Ok, i got it, like, 2 minutes after posting this question. My question still stands though :P

so, I'll answer your question, cause I'm the nice one here (beware the other frenchies... :P)
if an outside source is needed, there will be a google link
if not, everything you need is to think well

This level is driving me completely crazy. I flew through the first 17 levels and have been stuck on this one for 4 days now. I have gone at it from so many different directiona without any luck. Am I supposed to know anything about the movie clip being played? because I don't. Would searching the internet to try and discover what movie that comes from help me at all?
I am more asking about what I don't need to do rather than what I do need to do. Will knowing that scene help me? Will translating the japanese help me?

Sometimes we just need to take a break and look at things from a different angle! ;)
glouton : it can also be usefull to read this thread carefully because a lot of hints have already been given.
Hey, guys i have thought long and hard, and i still can't get it. is it something to do with filming? like ca***** and stuff? and the ca***a an*l** that you can get? and does the page address have something in it that is significant? thanks

okay no worries, i was thinking too complicated. i got it now :)
I finally managed to get past this one after spending much time trying to translate the screen and wondering what Orlando Bloom had to do with this.
My question is, in retrospect
Spoiler
The bits I did manage to translate were Of: ________ Main(?) event____ and Cinema: _________Kingdom of Heaven. I'm just curious if my translation work was even close to accurate, and if it gave me a clue that just went over my head? Thanks.

The bits you managed to translate were spot on ;)
What do you guys mean by looking at it from a different angle?
Haha I almost had a seizure from staring at the screen for so long
