Title: Password 1 Post by Grimbal on Oct 17th, 2008, 1:42pm William passed away ... again ... after a prolonged illness. In his will, he wrote ... again ... to his son David that all his money was ... again ... in a safe. All David had to do ... again ... was to guess the password of the safe. The password, he wrote, consisted of 6 letters and the hint to the password was: VEDUEUTEL...... Forgive me if I sound gotit when he sounds like like Iceman. ;) |

Title: Re: Password 1 Post by Grimbal on Oct 18th, 2008, 2:36pm No. I would normally say "good guessing" but it doesn't look like that to me. |

Title: Re: Password 1 Post by 0.999... on Oct 18th, 2008, 3:34pm I took note of the "..again.." as a hint and removed the most repeated letter "E" to receive a six-letter combination. |

Title: Re: Password 1 Post by Grimbal on Oct 19th, 2008, 2:51pm Ah. Good try then. The ... again ... is just because another riddle uses the same story. But the repetition of E's is a good start to investigate. |

Title: Re: Password 1 Post by Grimbal on Oct 27th, 2008, 2:11am Hm... it starts to look like a "guess what I think" riddle. And my hints seem to send you in the wrong direction. Let's put it that way: V, E, D, U, E, U, T, E, L, ..., ..., ..., ..., ..., ... find the pattern. |
