/sci/ are you good at cryptography or puzzles? I would suggest you check that link out then. It is a interesting set of puzzles that you must solve and codes you must crack to get to the next page/level.

If you want to test your intelligence against it just go to the link. The intro page will give you all the info you need to know.

That's not a clever or even engaging puzzle.

That is there to prevent the dimwits from coming in.

Once you get to the third puzzle your facing some cryptos.

There are some that will challenge your other skills.

Yeah, I'm there now. But the torquere thing doesn't put off dimwits alone. Opening with a lame puzzle makes experienced solvers likely to dismiss the entirety.

I'm on three now. Irksome that the text is in image format, unnecessarily. Still, at least it appears to have some thought behind it. In any case, thanks for posting the link.

Good job.

Still, remember some of the puzzles may not even have text.

Also, some of the puzzles will at first glance appear impossible to solve. Disregard that. It is possible.

This whole puzzle is a fucking troll or just self-destructively obscure to the point where it is not much more than an exercise in gibberish. Believe me I have been there.

The trail ends at something known as the blocks puzzle. Rotating it 90 degrees leads to something that could be perceived as text, and looks like a cipher by Edgar Allan Poe. However despite the best efforts of anyone crazy enough to decode it, it is just a mess of nonsensical letters. Other pages have been discovered and all of them are just dead ends.

Green Gecko, the puzzles creator, gets a kick out of e-mailing people and PMing them on forums pretending to be some esoteric puzzlemaster, sending them apparent clues and posting meaningless phrases. Absolutely no sense can be derived from any of his/her ramblings. The earlier puzzles are fun but don't be fooled by thinking that the puzzles are particularly clever or well designed, its just some graphics with creepy music and pretty much everyone lost interest in it years ago for a reason.

A note: Green Gecko is a lurker on /x/ and probably trolling the fuck out of you right now. The problem is no one gives a shit about this gay little website.

Pretty hard, but I'm wondering if there actually is no answer after a certain point, and the "torment" mentioned is the hope that you think there is.

Other than that, pretty good puzzle, Imma try to solve it.

You have to highlight below the picture and it reveals some text. Kind of like spoiler tags.

I'll do this later. The page appears to be the code from The Gold Bug story by Edgar Allan Poe. I just don't have the patience to decode it right now.

>>1648241
That's how I did it, too. I saw na, nal, and znal were all there. I knew for certain that V was I, because it was capitalized everywhere, and I is the only 1-letter proper noun. I figured that nz was probably am. I worked with na, nal, and znal all being words to get a and l, and worked from there. It's kind of lame that the letters were in pairs, with one translating into the other, made it too easy. Ended up only deciphering half of the letter relationships before just inputting what was in quotations at the end. At least they didn't make it too easy because they made the passcode gibberish, so you had to decipher all of its letters
