Got ya. Is that like the new math? :wink:


It is undoubtedly new, compared to mathematics as it was studied in Ancient Greece.Image
The ∈ symbol is one of those used in set theory, which was created in the 1870s. :wink:

On-topic:


Repost:

6 = 8
4 = 8
5 = 8
6 = 8
6 = 8

(6 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 6) ϵ 6

10 → 8

10 ϵ 6

6 - 5

6 - 6

6 ≠ 8

10 → 9

What is 9?


Hint: even though the riddle uses numbers and mathematical symbols, it is not a mathematical riddle.

The riddle and its answer indeed have to do with a faction. :)

Huge hint:
All the numbers in the riddle stand for the amount of letters in certain words.

9 is Harbinger, right? The first numbers stand for Kodlak, Aela, Skjor, Vilkas and Farkas. All of them belong to the set "green 6", that is, the Circle. The pink 8 means werewolf. 10 (which I take means the Dovahkiin) is added to the werewolf set, and is then a member of the Circle. "Green 6" minus five is Skjor's death, "green 6" minus six is that of Kodlak's. Then Kodlak is cured, and the Dovahkiin becomes the 9, that is, the harbinger.

I had some inkling the numbers might represent NPCs, but until your last hint couldn't really make heads or tails of it. But, well, here is another riddle. I apologize in advance about its quality, since I'm much better at solving than at inventing riddles.

"When you hear my roar, I'm already on you. I am big, yet strike as if from nowhere. I am found in forest and valley, mountain and glacier. I am strong, but a well-placed shout might make me fly to my doom. Who am I?"

Meh, I kind of got it wrong<_< though I may be a "tad" crazy but the riddle seems updated than what memory serves.. Anyways, I'll rightfully pass my turn :sweetroll: The bear was nothing more than a joke really

Yeah, I edited the riddle a bit. Sorry about that. I intended it to be a coin-toss if it's a dragon or a bear, but well, I'm awful at making riddles. So, anyone up to inventing one?

Which image should come next in this sequence and why?

I am not going to even attempt to guess. It will take some long thinking.

Rebus are not my strong suit.

Spoiler:
  • Addressing one's self.
  • Menacing - Dennis the Menace
  • Valley
  • Searching
  • A ride/someone to take me
  • From point A to point B
  • Fast!
  • Quiet
    &
  • This has me stuck- it's the Flatiron building in NYC, and offers up nothing but vague allusions in my brainpan.
  • Together
  • A ribbon on your finger usually alludes to one who is trying to remember something.
  • Headache/Flustered/difficult
  • Time
  • Not really sure what the last image refers to; I don't recognize the symbol.

I hate to ask for too many hints, but would you mind please clarifying the Flatiron building, ribbon, and final symbol?

I knew you'd bump this thread up once you saw the Oblivion one, Kolossus! This one has had me beyond confused for months now. I can't even start to analyze it, really.

Kolossus is on the right track. :)

  • Addressing one's self. - More or less correct.
  • Menacing - Dennis the Menace - Very close. One of these words is what you need to recover the answer to the riddle.
  • Valley - nope.
  • Searching - nope.
  • A ride/someone to take me - nope. Why not take this literally?
  • From point A to point B - not quite. You need to describe this line in one word.
  • Fast! - close. You might want to look for a synonym.
  • Quiet - nope. This line conceals a verb.
    &
  • This has me stuck- it's the Flatiron building in NYC, and offers up nothing but vague allusions in my brainpan. - That's exactly what's concealed here. This line refers to the word 'flat'.
  • Together - Nope.
  • A ribbon on your finger usually alludes to one who is trying to remember something. - Correct. The word we need in this line is 'remember'.
  • Headache/Flustered/difficult - None correct.
  • Time - Close.
  • Not really sure what the last image refers to; I don't recognize the symbol. - This symbol may be found in the 'About' section of, say, a website. The correct word here is 'About'

You are almost there. Once you get the principle, the jigsaw will fall together and the riddle will be cracked. :wink:

Rebus Rev.A

Spoiler:
  • I am
  • The menace
  • Vvardenfell? Ashlands?
  • Footsteps/Tracking
  • A silt strider
  • Traveling
    &
  • Quickly
  • Silently (Not much else I can draw from this image)
    &
  • Flat
  • Holding on
  • Memories/To Remember
  • In my head
  • Time (Unless there's an obscure synonym, or I'm to read the clock literally, I'm drawing a blank)
  • About.

    I can kind of see something forming here, but it's still too obscure to complete.

Kolossus, you're on the right track. :wink:

  • I am - yup.
  • The menace - indeed.
  • Vvardenfell? Ashlands? - Ashlands it is.
  • Footsteps/Tracking - Tracking is the correct option.
  • A silt strider - yup.
  • Traveling - nope, what you need is a noun.
    &
  • Quickly - yup.
  • Silently (Not much else I can draw from this image) - Here I'll give a hint: the word in question is 'stifled'.
    &
  • Flat - correct.
  • Holding on - nope. Think of the emotion of the picture rather than what's actually happening. :wink:
  • Memories/To Remember - the correct option is remember.
  • In my head - nope, you are way off track.
  • Time (Unless there's an obscure synonym, or I'm to read the clock literally, I'm drawing a blank) - no, no obscure synonym, rather the contrary (a unit of time, so to speak).
  • About.

It's not too hard a riddle, really; this thread has seen trickier ones. :wink:

I am the menace of the Ashlands, tracking silt-striders across the [plain? I know that it's a plane, but plain could be a relevant phonetic]s and quickly, stifled and flat; loving memories and frustrating hours about...

Not having fast travel?

I feel as though I'm digging myself a deeper hole. :( I'm sure that when I see it, it will hit me like a freight train!

No, you are going in the wrong direction. :(
Hint: I will show you how you should position the words; this will help you decide what to do next. :)

I am......................................................................................Ashlands

Menace...................................................................................

Tracking................................................................................Silt

strider.................................................................................... ?

Quickly stifled.......................................................................... ?

Flat....................................................................................... ?
