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.
So,
at the source of every road, there is a map. I'm going from A to B. I've found what I need, but I don't know to if I need to include the whole answer. Any help?
bidipe : you have just to drive... that's all ;)

I made the connection, but I don't know the rule for rue. Take it or leave it?
"rue" means "street" in french, but I don't know if it is what you're asking for ...

Ok after looking at point A and B and looking at the path... I don't get it haha
Sounds like you need a hand... :(
Like ShadowPuppet, I think I have all I need: two addresses that correspond to point A and B, and a visual of how to get from one to the other. I've tried typing in several rues, but with no luck. I think I am missing where the hand comes into the puzzle, if at all.
Sadly I think this is the one that will break me.
I know what A and B are, but I can't narrow down their physical locations to any reasonable degree. I can see the website matching A and I can see where it says where it is, but I can't understand / translate / identify a physical address that I can find on a road map. I can see "A**** d* Z**" on a map of the area, but that doesn't even match their own website. And from what I can tell from the other side of the Earth, there are multiple roads between there and where the map is telling me "B" is.
So, this particualr level has gone from "solve this puzzle" to "research 27 websites in French or badly-translated quasi English and guess which of the 20-odd roads between where point A might be and where point B might be is the correct one. Oh and guess the spelling, and exactly how much of the street name needs to be entered." :-
So thanks for the fun, while it lasted.
Dave, I had the exact same problem. However, after playing with the puzzle a bit, you will learn that there are only a limited number of paths you can take. As much as I hate to say it, this one was most certainly "guess and check" for me.:|
This one is starting to p me off. After reading all this, I'm pretty sure of the two exact locations. But I've tried to enter pretty much every rue in the vicinity with no result. I'm thinking of driving there tomorrow and take note of every damn street sign I can find. Or just quit playing the ******* game. Can someone PLEASE give a useful hint, a first letter or something, or even if it's a damn htm or html... Am I even on the right track here? The way I see it, there really are only a few paths a sane person would drive that short distance. What am I missing?

How would you give directions to a tourist?
You really do need a hand. Think about what you are given to begin with. What worked for me was putting myself in the drivers seat and going for a ride.

If you have the map and the positions plotted, all that's left is to use your hands ;)
Have you ever come across people who don't know the street names but still know how to get there? :)

I did it 1st try on accident without finding anything.. O.O I had to go back so that i knew how i was to do it incase future levels referenced it.
do i have to use google maps for this?

Golden rules
1. Try before asking if it works! (Can be found in the forum rules)
i just wanted to know if it would provide you a map or not, but I guess not since I clicked and accidently went to lvl 31.
It may have a map and it may not, those of us who are lucky enough to have magically dicovered the way through should go back and find out how. Theres always important lessons in riddle solving. :D
phreakymonkey: And it will always be pretty clear when you need to use an outside source and when you will be provided with what you need if you check thoroughly for clues.
hey, I found the clues written on the hands.
I found a means to use them via the clue.
But the clues I found from the hands arent giving me the right s****** for m****.***
any assistance in how to find the right s****** would be of great help

Well, I'm sure if you look HERE (https://web.archive.org/web/20170715124900/http://www.google.com/), you'll definitely find them! :)
that was the first place i tried, with varying answers and never quite getting ones that worked with m****.***
Believe me, I looked somewhere else, too. And it was hardest part of the riddle.
You should put yourself the driver's place, not in the URL link ;)

Sorry all, but i have bitten my tongue and soldiered on until now!
I have point a, point b and my plan.
I dont need a hand, but more of a hint, or a push...i have the screen shot
of my plan, and it has the turns, and i have used them, but no joy.
Awesome game, speak soon!

I had no (major) problems before, but I must say, that this level is frustrating. I know what is A,B but what is the exact location? Is it official address on the web page or the location that seems to be on the map? Should I guess the road or use the one provided by site found using the clue? And finally, what is the format of the answer?
Last edited by giega (2007-01-23 19:05:55)
You must find both points on the map. Official addresses would help. Again, they're for you to find. And you don't have to enter anything in url. Use the riddle.
Im still confused by this, im sure im right with my point A and B.
I have used the suggested web site, then guided by hand to
my point b, but still no luck...
could someone confirm i am coming and going to the right places
for me?
Thanks!!

pm me with your notes and i'll try to help :)
just for future reference, google map has a way of....misleading one unless one knows where one is being led to
I'm having difficulty finding the address for B, I've googled it, but I can't seem to find it, can anyone help?
Added Thu Jan 25 01:54:16 2007 :
I think my B address is wrong, should A and B be in the same zip code?
Ok, I've found the addresses and entered them in the site... I think I know what to do with the clue about the hand, but I don't know how to do it. Can anyone help?

There's only so many things that you could do. Try them all! :)
Any hints at this point would simply give it away!
ahh am I stupid? it's so few t**** that i should be able to guess it, but I can't for some reason, and the directions I have don't work for some reason.
It seems my directions are incorrect also, i need to be more precise with my address's i have been advised, but yet to try. (Thank you K, it's appricaited!)
I hope this helps buddy, this level is really bustin my balls!

Well, it seems that you know where your flaws are. Address those first and you'll be able to use either the written directions or the map itself to get to where you need to go! :)
i just solved this puzzle rather quickly. i kinda played around and found out the solution paramater, and then noticed that i had a 1 in 16 chance to guess the solution, and then guessed it that way. i think i know how to go about solving it the way we're supposed to, but i was too lazy to find exact... route. do you think that's okay?

I would guess so, but wouldn't you want to learn why?
When all else fails... trial and error works wonders ;-)
I shouldnŽt probably say so, but I had this solved in 30s by accident >:-)
Im not stumped, i know exactly what to do, it just seems my answer is always wrong. Ive resorted to writing down all the possible answers, because as far as i can tell there are only f*** d********* that you can even submit. This obviously isnt how your supposed to get it but why is my m** wrong? Some kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I don't know what you did wrong, because I did the same thing. I found out all the info I needed, but I just don't know enough French to easily find the

. If it's any consolation, I know I'm not alone in doing it the way you did.
these two hints will most likely be the best hints :
1.trial and error
2.remember the 3 things to look out for : the title, the url and the clues
