O.P. The Stapler v2
Some of you may remember this thread: relpats-eht.. the game :--o. The first version of the already famous relpats_eht online puzzle game, created in late 2005 by a 16 year old computer geek, quickly became an Internet craze and thousands of people attempted to solve its last page, the most difficult of all. The site was apparently hacked and the puzzle taken down. The guy was eventually persuaded into posting the solution to the final riddle on his blog.

quote:
Those who discovered the "sha one the creator" message were astonishingly close. According to relpats_eht, the creator referred to "relpats_eht" himself; or to be precise, the three nicknames he was known by: "relpats_eht", "relpats", and "rel". Separate these nicknames with |s (a programming symbol for "or") and find the SHA-1 hash of the resulting string, "relpats_eht|relpats|rel". This hash, ac5d783345bf5117682ace31419d178487c29882, was the final answer.


The site was recently replaced with a new, similar puzzle. However this one is significantly more difficult.
Start playing: http://www.relpats-eht.com/.

Please refrain from posting links to pages from the game in this thread. Also, be careful with spoilers and hints. It took me (and many others) weeks to solve the first few pages. I'm currently on page eight ten.

Well, tell us which page you're stuck on.

Regarding the first page, keep in mind that the game's author is a grammar nazi and he would never make an unintentional grammatical mistake or inconsistency.

Page 5 is indeed a bit tricky. But solvable.
"Where is the challenge if there is nothing past step one?" Well, where is it? In life, attempting is more important than winning something. Think about that.

participating?  taking part? performing?  consistency?

it's the "nothing past step one" but that i can't figure out

this is too much of a head-messer, and with not enough walkthroughs online........i always like having that option with this kinda thing

think about the "wandering about aimlessly far away from what is right according to the laws of nature" and then the "English language" reference then about a "flower walking".......what might be the disparity there?
