I have reason (from one of the clues) to think we are focusing too much on anagrams, and not enough on opposites. I heard somewhere that someone who already finished had an idea, built on it and got it. Which means we most likely have to find an opposite or kalium echo, then unscramble, then submit that...

yeah, that's what Meeptroid's hint/s sounded like. hm. opposites, then.

even if there's not organized groups, we could do with people having focus. Personally, I trying out more opposites.

i'm still checking out the anagrams and looking for sense in the nonsensical.

what if it was something to do with other elements? Like it unscrambled to some other element?

i remember seeing "helium" in the list of possible solutions. it didn't work, though.

Thought...... what if what we unscramble from Kalium Echo are 2 words that are opposites, like good and bad.

there's an idea.

neon_halo: we could split up into teams -- it would give something to do for the people who aren't doing anything specific at the moment. have to get a majority vote on that.

Okay, scenario: we are Indiana Jones. we are in that weird chamber-temple place at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and we are running from the boulder. that boulder's gonna squish us all in, well, five hours, if we don't unlock this door to escape . . .

Motivated yet?

Anagram for opposites: poop sites.

 

Hehe. :D

 

Okay, back to business--

 

the answer is most likely an anagram of opposites of kalium echo.

 

Right?

or an anagram of 'opposites'.

has anyone read The Da Vinci Code? that was a good anagram. it made me laugh.

opposites are something to think about, don't think about anything else, there are unlimited possibilities and only one works.

i do believe i am developing a slow leak between the ears.

Pieces from the poem hint:

Gramana, or Managra?

Are either of those right?

-----

Apparently Managra is the title of a book. The title is an anagram of the word "anagram". So maybe Kalium Echo is an anagram of something imnportant, like something we should all know but are thinking too hard about...

 

Maybe those are incorrect,

Are you scrambling to win the fight?

-----

I thought it more than a bit of a cioncidence that 'scramble' is used here. So I'm guessing it's hinting to unscramble the letters?

ah, fresh headthoughts! why didn't we think of analyzing the poem sooner?

so this sounds like we're getting close.

*stares pitifully at screaming people* They should keep their eyes off of the countdown clock and focus on the riddle.

i only just saw the countdown now. o_O focusing on riddle . . . anagrams . . . aaaaaaanagrams . . .

ARG! Only 5 hours left!!! (runs around room screaming)

um, isn't it only four?

edit: heh, nrmnd . . .

i dunno if there's a location in the seven letters we've got left over. not a Neopian one, anyway.

ooh, maybe it's a username or a Neopet . . .

this would be a wonderful time to meditate, if not for the time limit.

Kau and Koi are in there as well. Didn't Matt's poem say something like is "koi or is it kau"?

something about not having a row with a koi or a kau.

"I am"....

 

Lock (HEL) Luck (EHO) Clue (HOK)......

I don't know about the G.P.

"I am huckle (o)"

Like Huck Finn.

Have you noticed, no one's been busted for posting less than seven letters . . . you think the mods have quit trying?

you mean GP? yeah, i was wondering . . . those initials were also the name of the sender for the Hull Breach email.

"I am clue koh/kho/hok"?

haha, neon-halo, i hate chem. We're taking it now...

Maybe that means that we should scramble the letters in kalium echo?

Or maybe we should all hide until it's over...

i'm working with an anagram program now -- looks like i'll have to use several to find anything useful.

If this all ends in chemistry, I'm going to cry a little.

i think, no matter how it ends, we're all gonna cry a little.

I've been watching and reading this whole time. I must say, there's some good stuff flying around here (including brain chunks). What if the letter matching is correct. Then what would we do with the letters on the puzzle? I believe that by matt asking if we'd used EVERYTHING, he may have been refering to the fact that we have not yet used the letters on the pieces. I think it would be worth a shot to try it out. But then opposite, it would spell a word out backwards? Or a mirror might be involved...

I think I'm just as fried as everyone else = )

somebody said something about mirrors at some point today . . . i don't know . . . it's not so much my frain is bried -- or whatever it was people are saying -- dain bramage -- whatever. 'snot so much that as i know tomorrow, it's all over. i won't see any of you nice people again.

Meeptroid: YES! stuff to munch on!

Er, I posted something a few minutes ago, but whether or not it will help is unknown to me.

yeah, i was wondering about that --

"1129235385

or

1119215381"

-- how'd you come up with that?

Are you talking about the pink uni riddle or the pink uni after the wise king?

 

I'm totally lost now...

pink uni after the wise king. don't worry, we're all lost here.

I'm about to break to make some dinner. Absolutely regardless of the fact everyone else in my flat is asleep and oh, that's it's half 2 in the morning.

that's the spirit!

ah . . . we seem to have lost motor skills . . . so . . . no new theories? nothing? not a variable?

I don't know, it might just be insomnia XD

that too.

i could really go for a cup of mugwort tea right now. it would relax my brain, and inevitably send my body into automatic slumber mode . . . so maybe not.

*also tuned*

 

btw shadow, I'm still here. In it for the long haul, XD

yes you are! wow. you've got guts.

Hey, everyone. I'm here alright. I'm about to post a nice big hint for all of you, so stay tuned. ;)

staying tuned . . . you're a livesaver. many thanks.

Did i not just post something like that, shadowgrrl?

yeah, you did, but it was on another page. just bringing it over so we can work on it from here. it's not my idea -- it's yours. :D
