Where is the Disco Puzzle game? And can anyone help me with level 7?

As you like it. We will return your arm if you can decode but a few more riddles. The key to this cipher is the person who first spoke to Adam.

I would post what I have to decode, but it is apparently too long.

Games > Braingle Games > Disco

#7 Hint: Copy and paste each one of those sentences (separately) into Google.

I'm still really confused. On the scavenger hunt, what exactly am I looking for in the Disco Puzzle game? And which sentences do I paste in Google? The coded stuff, or the stuff I posted?

Find out for yourself. People are posting hints, if we posted answers, whats the point of the puzzle hunt?

I tried pasting each of the clue sentences in Google, and didn't get anything useful. And the coded stuff doesn't come up with any pages.

I'm completely stuck. The hint says to go to the disco game, but I am very confused as to what info I can get from the game to figure out the rest of the clue!

Last one. Are you ready? This is a multi-step challenge that only a true Braingle fan will be able to solve.

Travolta does it (v3.0. The letters in 4,5 and 7 can be found together in a Situation that occurred in 2002. The ID number corresponds to a famous Movie. Who's singing?


Peace, Love, Aloha

Hm can't seem to figure out level 8!

I added spaces because it wouldn't post.

Potential Spoiler Info (in white)

The hint is that as you like it is by Shakespeare, which i knew, but doesn't really see how any of the ciphers relate to Shakespeare. The key must be G-d or Eve, I don't know whether it means person as a physical human, which would be Eve, or the first being to talk to Adam, which is of course G-d, but neither seems to work with any of the ciphers although I haven't tried all of the ones that don't do it automatically lol)

The key is to first solve this (in terms of "the book"): "The key to this cipher is the person who first spoke to Adam."

I'm stuck on level 8 too...

I just found out that there is a person called Adam in "As you like it". But I never read that play so I have no idea who that could be or if it could help...

Edit:

It does help

What about number 10 though?


==MESSAGE==
Congratulations on solving all of my challenges. You may now have your arm back. As an added bonus we are waving your overdue fine. Just be sure to return the overdue book on the way out.

Your arm is stashed behind the:
(there's a picture here)

And remember, always return your books to the library on time!

Signed, The Librarian

I decoded the clue in the picture but the word doesn't get me anywhere... Should I turn it into a number? And how? I tried several ways and none worked...

ok so now i know who the person is...but it doesnt seem to help me with any of the ciphers, unless it is one of the ones I have to do by hand, which I might work on after I get my schoolwork done lol

Vivica, if I remember right, it's the pictures with flags, yes?

All you have to do is look up the Semaphore code. It will spell out something.

If I remember correctly, all you needed was the flags. But I don't know for sure...

You instantly recognize "As you like it" as the name of a play by Shakespeare, and you remember from school that Adam is the name of a character from that play. All you need to do now is find out who spoke to Adam first. It's a good thing you're at the library!

You look it up in the card catalog and head off into the stacks. After locating the book, you quickly determine that the key to the cipher is "Orlando".

You already know from frequency analysis that the letter E appears most often in the message, so it is probably a transposition cipher. The only transposition cipher in your book that uses a key is the Columnar Transposition cipher. With this information, it only takes a few minutes to decipher the message and "unlock" the next challenge.

Beep.

==MESSAGE==
Look in the back of the book.
==END==

As you flip through "As You Like It" a scrap of paper falls out onto the floor.

I can't get this one
