    WiseOz - WiseWits Riddle Discussion

     There are currently 5 puzzles running.

    1. Hang On

    2. Love to Love or Love to Hate?

    3. Awry Plod

    4. Give Me Shelter

    5. Not What You Think

    Each puzzles has various levels also.

    I had a go at Awry Plod - which has now been solved. I have no guesses on anything else still open yet.

     I gave Awry Plod a shot too, for clue 3, "Hey 'E', how often it you, how often it 'B'?"  and apparently came close with the answer letter frequency, because they wrote me back saying:

    You came really
    close on the "letter frequency" response but I need the perecentages that
    represent that letter frequency (maybe you still have time to find a friend
    that could register and win it with that little bit of insight).

    So there's a big hint to you all to get the points!

    Thanks Redhatty!

    Ok I gave E=5.91% and B=0.65% a shot.

    I still am finding this really vague in terms of what they are actually looking for.

    I'll let you know the response to this guess! 

    UPDATE: Thanks Redhatty - I got a green light for this answer :D 25 wit points

    I've also been looking at Give Me Shelter, Stage 1

    It says take Bran and add Oxygen and Silicon for the answer.

    So it's bran +osi? I'm still lost here. Bran is also full of Vitamin B...

    I had a go at Love to Love or Love to hate - stage 2

     I'm pretty sure it's wrong but I tried Rocky Balboa (Rocky mountain range plus Balboa kinda rhymes with borer....well it was the only movie I could think of that came close!)

    Congrats on winning one Redhatty!

    For Love to Love, I guessed Rocky Horror, which turned out to be right.

    For Give Me Shelter, I guessed "cement" which was wrong, but they did say I was on the right track by thinking industrial materials. My reasoning was that bran is made of grain, and oxygen and silicon make silicon dixiode or silica. A google search for grain silica brought up pages about cement.

     WTG Unruli1! I actually thought of Rocky Horror too - but since the actual name is Rocky Horror PICTURE SHOW I went with Rocky Balboa instead!

    Thanks for the tip - I'm going to try SAND...or maybe QUARTZ? I'll let you know!

    If someone hasn't tried yet, I'd try silica fiber/fiber optics

    Love to Love or Love to Hate - Stage 5

    I just entered Mommie Dearest. Don't know if it's right or not! 

    Edit: It was correct but apparently RedHatty beat me to it by 2 minutes!

    Good job on the cult films Sandi, congrats!

    I was going to guess that also but too slow... I tried Army of Darkness too, but d43pan beat me to it. I guess the time factor is really important, I will have to check in more often!

     Anybody have any idea on Stage 4 of Awry Plod?

    Thanks Unruli!

    I thought Redhatty would beat me to it again for sure!

    No clue on stage 4 - 3 ppl have guessed but I have not yet

    Re: WiseOz - WiseWits Riddle Discussion

    Give Me Shelter, Stage 2 - guessed Spray Polyurethane (first 3 get pts, not sure if I'm right though)

    Not What You Think, Stage 4 - sent a pic in!  This will soon be at final stage and I'm a little lost still as to what connects all 4 answers here.

    Re: WiseOz - WiseWits Riddle Discussion

    For Awry Plod, Stage 4 - I just guessed BLANK

    Still no response to either of the answers I submitted 10 hrs ago for the other 2 puzzles

    BTW - I will be in IRC if anyone wants to come chat when new stages are released :)
