Codex Gamicus talk:Puzzle Challenge/Puzzle Two

I only sign to have a print of the time between puzzles XD (Don't worry I'm not US resident) — @ Chixpy 01:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Errors?
The 7th tick on the first line and the 6th tick on the second line don't seem to belong. Also, the 8th tick on the second line seems like it should be the opposite color.KrytenKoro 02:34, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Everything seemed to be fine to me.Oracle104 02:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ...oooh. Pretty sneaky, sis.KrytenKoro 03:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, would you be able to give any clues as to what the riddle is asking for?KrytenKoro 03:17, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Could someone give me a hint -- any hint? I think I understand how this is supposed to work, but I don't know anything about this game or this wiki and so I can't figure out what I'm supposed to be looking for. LadyNorbert 03:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The puzzle basically tells you where to go next. Upon completion of the entire thing, you should come up with a wiki name and a page on that wiki to go to.  Completing the puzzle requires very little knowlege of the game itself ... any information you need is a quick search away, and it will be pretty easy to figure out what to search for. :) --KyleH (talk) 03:34, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Right, I understand that it's going to tell me where to go next, it's just really confusing. Thanks though. LadyNorbert 03:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Keeping notes
I had enough incidental gaming knowledge and search cool to pretty much breeze through the first puzzle, but this one is throwing me for a loop already. It took reading the talk page to discover that the indicators were in lines, not blocks. Now I guess I have to figure out what the directions and colors mean. Clock numerals? Punctuation? Chunks of lettering? I notice there's nothing pointing above 90* left, but it's not all 45s either.

A search for "arrow" comes up with nothing, same for "pointer" and "indicator"; there are no guides on the wiki for playing, but I'm guessing you have to have played or seen the game played...

Is this puzzle even related to the wiki it's on? -- Siege 16:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I would like to second this question. Does this puzzle have anything to do with Ragnarok 2?  LadyNorbert 19:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm. Doesn't seem to be gestural; drawing lines to match yields gibberish, and mouse movements don't make much sense (with and without clicks, presuming the brown arrows are right-click). I think I'm probably entirely off-track so far. Back to grinding. -- Siege 17:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Think of the lower right hand corner of your screen.KrytenKoro 17:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * In OSX, that spot is empty, and the closest icon is the Trash. I'll presume you're referring to Windows with the taskbar at default settings and location, though my Linux machine has a screen-switching panel in that corner (which would be amusing if it were a radial selector instead of a grid). However, taking that hint as given, I'm still thinking motion may be involved, because direct num-alpha mapping doesn't work in two colors. -- Siege 17:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Then again, yes it does. AM/NZ, but where's the 13, and which direction am I counting? More calculation, but maybe this time it'll make a little more sense. Or I could just try simple substitution - how many words in English have three letters in a pattern XYY.... -- Siege 18:39, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Stepping backwards, maybe I need to do math on something else instead of letter-counting. -- Siege 18:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Orange comes first, space at midnight. That's probably already a dead giveaway for the problem. Yes, this puzzle has something to do with the wiki, after you decode it. All of them are like this - decode, and then solve.KrytenKoro 19:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 'Space at midnight?' What does that mean? Zelda Death 13:58, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * heh, it's a pretty big clue about how to decode the puzzle. Saying anything more would give it away completely. ;) --KyleH (talk) 17:02, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

ok so what am i supposed to do with this phrase? --Leezy16 02:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Figuring that out is part of the puzzle. :) ... but the phrase should lead you to an article name and a wiki name, and you'll need to go to the appropriate article on the appropriate wiki. --KyleH (talk) 02:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ok one more question, are there any numbers involved at all?
 * You'll use numbers in some fashion to arrive at the final solution, but there are no numbers in the wiki name or the article name. --KyleH (talk) 03:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I can't seem to find the article on the wiki of the solution.

The "article name" (upper part) is a character "class" of that wiki (actually should be a race) and the wiki (lower part) is a yet-to-be released 360 action game. SYSS Mouse 19:04, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

If they are clock numerals, then they'd be numbers, and I found all the possible numbers if they are clock numerals, and it makes no sense. Space at midnight could give me a clue, and if they are clock numerals, then would blue be night (PM) and orange be morn' (AM), like sunrise in the AM, and nightfall in the PM... Uber Phoeb a b c 15:43, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

So I figured out the words... but now I'm super confused >_<

There are too many possible substitution codes possible, and I'm not even sure I have the numerals right! This is going to take forever. WHy did they have to use such a hard image? -- Fallen_Reality  T/ C 07:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it's a substitution code that's very difficult. Think of army time. Dargshmargit 14:39, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Man I have the phrase, but I can't figure out where to go from here
 * Try plugging the first part of the puzzle in to the search box on the puzzle page, then going to that article on the wiki revealed in the second part. --KyleH (talk) 22:02, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

It may be pathetic, but despite all of the help on here, I am still confused. I could understand how the pointers may resemble sections of time, perhaps orange being the hour and blue being the minute hand or something to that effect, but I fail to see how I can then decode it and use such information on the Ragnarok page. Looking at it generally, could it involve the time stamp, which draws my attention to the races involved in the poll? I am so confused as where to go - I don't care how much of a giveaway it may be - please help! ^^;

Solution
This one is a little bit tougher. Each of the triangles represents a position on a 24-hour clock, with beige triangles representing AM times and blue triangles representing PM times. If you converted each time to an hour on the 24-hour clock, then changed those numbers to their corresponding letters of the alphabet, you would find the following message: You would then look up the Norman Starting Class on the Ragnarok2 wiki and find out that it is called Novice, and deduce that you should go to http://toohuman.gamepedia.com/Novice.
