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.
Can some one help me out with this one? Does it have to do with any current events? Or is it another audio editing/playing riddle?
It's probably safe to say that there aren't going to be any riddles based on current events, as that would make the game become obsolete that much quicker.
Chances are, if there's an audio component to a riddle, it's going to be important.
Bip idol- I did something similar to what I did in a previous riddle, but I cant get anything...and dont understand what comes out of it (forward nor backwards)
any help?
Then it's time to try something else!
Keep working at it... it's not that hard, I promise! ;)
this got anything to do with The Beatles?
is the type of animal a key clue (i.e. If the picture was a wolf and the clue was this is not a dog, would this level make sense?)
Is there a deeper significance to the hand holding a microphone? Is that a reference to a song?
how about the title (bip idol)? Is that supposed to be decoded somehow?
Do these clues tell me what to do with the sound file? or does the sound file tell me what to do with these clues?
i'm clueless and don't know where to go next...
You can solve this puzzle without any of the clues. They're very obtuse, but they might help. It was probably easier in the original language, though. ;)
The clue is in fact more expressive in french... phreakymonkey is right...

The clue was a big help to me actually. Took me about 2 minutes to solve this level after reading the clue. I don't speak French, but Google Language Tools helped.
Hmm, so we all know what the animal really is, and since the clue is in french does that mean that we need to decode more than just the clue into english? Like, is the answer in french?
There's only one way to find out. :)
Argh! I've translated what I thought was the answer into French, tried it, and it doesn't work... I edited the sound file what what it was when it was made, and it had some guy saying 'beep' at the start.. And I translated 'bip' from French to English, and it was 'beep' So, I tried that, and no luck.. Grr this one is confusing :P
The answer is in English. The french is only a clue. (And quite a large one, if I do say so...)
Translation can go either way.
This is the first time I've had any astonishing amount of trouble with one of these riddles, aside from the computer code stuff... I'm lucky to have friends that program...
I've done what I could with the audio... The clue has been translated... I've been drawing a blank on this one for days... Any of you still out there????

The key here, as well as all riddles thus far, lies in the clue.
Understanding how the clue directly relates to each level, will help you find your answer. ;)
Have you read Bull's comment?

EDIT: NVM I GOT IT, i had to translate it further :))

Ok I have no sound on this laptop whatsoever! and Im assuming the audio clip everyone is talking about is essential to move on? doh!
x
Indeed!
Is the clue an idiomatic expression in French? I haven't studied French in a while, but still, I do not recall ever seeing that phrase...
This is not an idiomatic expression, only a sentence you can easily translate. Just identify the animal, and wonder why that clue is given in french.
In that case, how is the clue supposedly easier or more meaningful in French?
Um, that's what you're supposed to find out. Read Toma's post again.
I'm getting this one, but it took forever sitting there listening to that strange dying cow noise to figure out why it's important.
this one almost broke my head, I don't even know how I finally figured it out. its important to listen to the sound and think about the title of the page
Oh, I found it rather cute :))
If you're still having trouble, read everyones post again. Everything there is very helpful.
... uhm... I'm lost on that one...~
I just got the sound, edited it and someone says b*** in the beginning... so..
That clue... that its not a "phoque" (s***) and "bip idol" confuses me a little...
I was looking for the band "The Beep Seal(s)" but... that wasn't the answer too... could anyone kick me in the right way? Another thing that i tried was listening carefully and thinking about the title, but i have no idea what bip idol is .. and google isn't helping at all.T_T
Are you distressed yet? :)
Uhm-.- Well;;... its going on my nerves a little...i tried so many things.. female seal... and stuff like that...
and that sound. OH MY GOD! its inburned into my brain;; forever;;...
... please kick me into the right way :(
i also s****d d*** the sound very hard and .. its only beep beep beep ~~ but i don't understand T_T

you're on the right track, take into account past levels and what corresponds to "beep beep beep"
you dont have to change anything about the sounds, just hear them clearly and watch for the silence between...the "dying cow" helps as beginning or end...;)
Just, wondering, does the clue have anything to do with a certain famous artist?

No.
Am I right, when I say, that it is not an animal we are searching for...?
got it! but very tricky... a hint: i was right :)

You're right ;)
kRaZyKiRb: Actually... :)
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but after solving the level, I'm left wondering: what exactly did the animal have to do with it? In other words, I didn't understand the clue at all. A gentle hint of what it might mean would be appreciated, especially since - weirdly - I figured it out without it :)
kRaZyKiRb: PM Sent :)
You are talking about "Bip Idol" but my riddle is named "Dit idol"
anyway, i dont have an idea to solve this one. this sounds drives me mad. i donŽt speak french and maybe because iŽm from germany and none of this languages is my first language i didnŽt get it. maybe iŽm just on the wrong way.
anyone a clue for me?
and please donŽt tell me i should read the postings before. I memorized them already :)
The sound is a motorcycle for me, with an beep in the beginning.
I do not get the clue.
i need some advise
The sound is international.
Okay, well this is a bit annoying. I translated the sentence in the clue, and it says t*** i* n** a s***. And the animal depicted is clearly a w*****, so I translated that to French, and it is m****. Also, when reading sidewalks's clue about what corresponds to "beep beep beep", I tried m**** c***, but it didn't work. Am I on the right track?
*Edit* Yup, got it. Thanks.

Yes.
This was a bit hard for me first, but in this level you can find nothing new. Summarize what you've learned on the previous levels.
According to all the hints given above, i can't seem to relate them all together.
Cant find a conclusive idea about the main thing...
maybe 1 more pointer?anyone?
i got the m.c. part ... whats next?
There's no need for any more pointers - it is all written this forum already. To summarise - the clue leads you to another animal - and it's in French for a reason. That and the URL tell you how to handle the audio.

I f you really got it, you got the riddle solved. Just listen to your brain.
okay i think i must be rather dumb but i just can't translate the m.... c... because i just don't get it... do you need to reverse or speed up or do anything like that to the sound?? i have got heaps of different funny words each time i do it and its not working for me
Here is my problem. I understand the reason for the translation. m**** c***. But I tried those words in the URL and they dont work. So I am assuming that I need to translate the recording. I had serious trouble doing the last one because of my ears. If that is the case, I will never get this one. I have listened to the recording over and over. I know it is making noises but cant really distinguish what it is.
Do we need to have any knowledge of m**** c*** to get this?

Of course you do.
