Thanks Tweetiepy, That is what I thought and I have tried it both ways before I asked and couldn't get anything that made sense. This one is driving me nuts Oh well - back to the drawing board...

Okay, if the "O"s stay put, then what do you do when you get two letters in one block? THAT's where I get confused!
Grumble.
I have the first part figured out in the answer (I think), but I can't make the last part work.
Grumble.

All I will tell you is this: First, those are circles not O's, like the clue says, don't confuse them. Next, you should never have more than one letter in a box and you should never "split" a letter. Personally, I think there should have been better directions or "clues" for doing this one correctly but if you work out what you KNOW first on paper, then you can try any variations you think of until you find the right one. I'm on 24 now. Haven't even STARTED to try to figure it out yet. Oh BTW, I sure hope everyone was smart enough to leave a trail of bread crumbs behind them...

I read on one of the forums that the grid puzzle was a little buggy - maybe things don't quite work out - but I ended up okay - maybe it's my mind that's buggy!

Boy do I feel stupid.... on level 3 if you answer the hint in the source code with the name of the missing river..it sends you to a blank page that says "learn about it.... " ... So I'm thinking "what kind of riddle is that?" ....finally I fugured out what the correct answer is for page 3 and then page 4 was easy... Doh! I'll get you back for this Rob!! Just you wait... lol

Ok 5 is giving me fits....I can't even add 2+2 and get the right answer HELP What you need to know is at the end of the hint in the source code at the bottom. Think "notation" and apply it to the numbers to discover what unique property they all share. When you're finished, remember to write a nice apologetic letter to your 8th grade math teacher recanting any claims you made that "Nobody ever uses this stuff in real life anyway!" ;D

Hubby has been asking me lately "What's all this Dracula stuff you're reading?" I think he's getting scared, been sleeping with garlic & a big towel around his neck! hehe

Xena, there are other forums out there that also give out "obvious" hints - I'm just not that bright on my own sometimes.. My hat's off to anyone who gets these without help.....

I've got my head completely twisted up in DR right now, so I don't think I need to get into any more... at least until this one is done. ;D I've been at this thing for almost two weeks now & i'm only on riddle 28. There are 82 levels in this one I believe.

Somebody hurry up and catch up with me. I'm on level 29 now and I know I should be able to get the answer but I just stare at it now and nothing more comes to mind.
