I'm guessing that they are all baby animals...and we know the clue from the source....now trying to figure out what's different about the sheep...
@catcaller:
Nope..still stuck with the ugly maroon thing..googled all combinations!
@girish: keep on going buddy! :) where's the fun if we tell u which is the "exact" right path!!!
anyways.. have written a clue (a lot earlier) which gives you a definitive path!
Gaaah! On Cell 14 the "... ..." is a red herring. You guys are really naughty. Thanks for the clues (esp to anarchy). On to Cell 24.
@Anarchy.. Hey how about a goodie for us before we go sleep..give us one of your "filmy/non-filmy"clues on 24? Pllssss pretty plsss :)
Cell 24 is as good as dead people...all the walls have cracks and the bars are way to wide for you to slip thru...way too much has been allowed on the blog....tell ya what...look thru the clues before one of the mods gets down to some repair!
Just tryin to get Anarchy to respond :) ...didja get ahead on that one?
Guys,
Hint for 22???
...aren't you the moderator?
Friends.. fellows... countrymen...
A certain overwhelming sense of heightened impatience pervades my cerebellum for cell 18...
In other words, cell 18 ka koi clue
koi pleez bata do yaar...one more hint would be welcome...
@ Cell 18:
I've gotten as far as googling the question and seeing what happens. None of the responses I've formulated seems to work though.
Dear moderators,
Now that we've got > 200 posts, can we propose to have separate blog posts for each cell? That way, somebody searching for an clue can easily go the right blog post (and avoid looking at spoilers to other cells)...
My two bits.
Cheers again. Stuck on Cell 18, I remain yours sincerely.
Seenu and others....hope you have had fun so far...a mail from IIMK Backwaters Team would soon make the game even more interesting for you :) ...stay tuned :)
MOds,
This is crazy. I came from cell 7 to cell 4 directly. Is somethign wrong?? I cant seem to get past 4, and I see you guys giving me no clue! Kindly respond!!!
Porcelain...please read the instructions of the game once again, for the answer to your first question, look for a clue in the blog...the blog already has lots of clues on almost all Cells broken uptil now :)
ok so i guess im wrong. i should type in a different answer for 7. is that right?

Woo! very flattered to be recognized by name. But haven't received any email so far, in case you've sent it :-(
Am hitting the sack now. Hope to hear about a breakthru on Cell 18 by the time I wake up tomorrow.
Cheers All.
@ Cell 24: People think on what Priyesh wrote....earlier...do a little bit of googling.
In every cell, stop looking for "something which looks like an answer"... look at it from a learning point of view...get into our heads... :)

ppl stil stuck on 28...plzz help
boggled: cell 7 hmm??? I have given enough number of hints!!! I think you know the name of the person...
try answering both the questions.. first the "who am I".. next the "where am I".. while answering the 2nd question... remember where are u playing this game!
and believe it or not... intelligent googling might give you the answer.. you have to recognize it though! :)
First of all I'll like to apologize for not coming here often enough... but let me drop a nugget of gold! :)
cell 14: Clues have been given.. and the stage has been cracked... all you need is the sentence "think filmy... very filmy"
cell 18: What is the most prominent word of the page? Think of all its possible meanings... remember "all that glitters is not gold".. once you figure this one out, the answer will be infront of you in no time!
Cell 24: do what priyesh has said!! all the words in the page have great significance! combine everything while coming up with an answer, it cannot be done using only one part!
(phew.. I think I covered almost everything now! :) )
Ah Anarchy thanks a ton! :)
everything points to Joey! now wot! Joey doesnt wrk
Ok is cell 28 supposed to be easy? I'm not able to draw a connection!!? What am I to do here? Please HELP! I feel like a mutt already! LOL
@ Nehu: Joey just takes you to closer to the answer. Now, am I not a good Friend!
wots the life,dots,heart connection, im badly stuck...i feel so disgusted
Nehu....here's a treat...promise us you'd finish the game in top ten ... or we will feel disappointed... :)

@wanderer

Priyesh or wanderer...

People who have reached advanced stages of the game...visit the default page of Labyrinth (the oage you reach right after clicking on the link @ Backwaters page)... sometimes you might not be doing the basics right... :)
@ porcelain

Hi Pallavi,

telegrams were priced in a weird way apparently...they were priced based on the number of words you wrote on them...

as i am still waiting for hints on cell 22 from the mods or anyone, i have compiled list of comments, for difficult cells, that will definitely help, if you concentrate.
cell 7:
Very Simple. Please read these lines carefully. The answer is embedded :)
Who am I? Or Where am I?
The answer is so simple that there is 'no-clue' needed. but why do u want more clues. dont u think less clues can help u out?
cell 28:
the building in cell 28 is giving me a mental block...
cell 14:
if u get scared, u can hardly speak...
think filmy... very filmy
THE answer is very easy
cell 24:
"You oughtta be kidding!"
Now how would an ol' British say that? ;)

A certain individual who is apt to use experimental procedures and fact- collection to crack the mysteries of this world... Google the one-word substitute for this and select the most famous one...

u really dont need to think so much... take it as if thr aren't any clues... jst focus on answering the questions given as simply as possible and then use the url...
u'll get it in no time..
28th is a bit difficult but the answer itself is a normal word... However, the meaning of the word itself is far from normal...
atb to all...
any more clues for 18th? plz do the honours of helping a gent in distress...
24 plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz just one more clue.....
@24
His work was a nobel cause...
@wanderer:
i hv tried a lot with the hints on the first page... m just missing something or the other...
one more hint pls
i am at my wits end here......
For Cell 14, I have tried all filmy ideas. I feel the '... ...' might just be to confuse....but then, with what is left i.e. the source clue and a sheep with something in the mouth (and a bunch of four-legged, baby animals) I am unable to move ahead.
Plz help frnds......
@ cell 22:
two clues here:
1. the question the mods say is a junction...
The answer,like the question - is one where two words meet....
2. so you need hint 2 because hint 1 was a bit too vague..well..what would you say if I said the second clue would be given out only if you solve the first clue... :)
you'd be in a very peculiar situation wouldnt you?
lets just give out a third hint...(im in a good mood )
theres a ninja quote in the source oage...heres another ninja quote - it says a ninja always takes heed of his position in the battlefield...its important you take heed of it too..ask yourself where you really are in the game.. :P
hmmmm..
24 is a hard nut to crack!
@Sandeep...
you ll have to work with all the clues and do some googling too
the line written is important. atleast the 2 main words in it.
and then you come to the picture.
What is it?
then you come to the hint in the source code.
so there was someone who did something with the pic and the two words in the line are famous , wrt to him.
Hope it helps
@ hints for 14:
1. film
2. word in the source page
3. baby animals
4. whats weird about the 'baby sheep''s [;)] picture?
thx...cracked it.....now on cell no:18...
stuck at cell 3 some one plz throw me a rope :(
On 18, I'm convinced that the answer has something to do with grammar. But I'm still trying to decipher the following from the blog posts:
- "all that glitters is not gold"
- "format used by people in the pre world war era"
- "communicate with you in code language"
- "telegrams are priced based on the number of words you wrote on them"
If anybody else gets a bright idea based on my post, please do share! Stuck on Cell 18 for the past 18 hours now!
@catcaller:
Thanks a lot for responding...I I am getting closer, but the only thing I see unusual with the 'baby sheep' is a flower in the mouth and a screwed up leg (which looks more like a horse's leg) ;-)
Man it feels suffocating now ... ne other clue, may be abt the movie or something...thanks again for those hints...makes me feel like I will be able to solve it soon [:)]
@ jinesh:
there is nothing unusual about people talking or making some noice (.....theres so much noice pollution these days)
its unusual if someones calm..and quiet..
and..speaking of calm..isnt it also a reason we are always in a crowd? we're scared of it..
and why do you think ive put within quotes whatever it is that i put within quotes in my previous response for the same question?
come on guyz more clues for 18.....
@Krackjack...
@Cell 3 : The answer is almost in your face (just look hard enough!)
If you wanna really do the thinking (trust me you dont need to) , then relate the word and the clue in the page source.
and then the pictures. You should get there.
@ Seenu
You are not going in the right direction.
Think :"Code" and the lines on the pic.
Use Google.
Cell 13 clues anyone???
33 was damn easy :D
cell 18..how do i fill it??
morse code??
cell 18...........
help guyzzzz.............

@cattcaller
cell 22:
i am lost in the game :(
pulling my hair out!!
@Ram
I gave the clue for 18 above.
It isnt what you said... but you are in the right direction.
Think of other forms.
the line in the pic is important. Google.
@kiran....
can u give some more clues on this question no :18...
@ Cell 18:
Thats the other thing. The whole of yesterday I was experimenting with 5-letter combinations for the line in the picture, and it got me nowhere...
@Cell 18
@Seenu... now you are talking! thats the correct direction!
@Sandeep that should be hint enough for ya
do not experiment with combinations. look up authentic ones. I think I ve said it more than enough.. Google now!!!
@kiran, seenu
answer for cell 14 pls?
k kiran cracked 18...now onto 22....
cell 22:
i hv caught the peculiar situation but not seem to get the exact answer
some one lead me to the salvation
It seems Seen u has seen a lot more than U surdy... :P ...good going guys...we wanted to drop a mail but lets talk here. You just found a rouge jailor who would exchange information for.....we'll discuss that later...here's the info
1. 12 of 17 Cells on the shortest path have been cracked.
2. A lot of you have successfully navigated through the Labyrinth crossing two crucial junctions. However, only a few have seen all the cells, in fact, we can only think of three people who went down another path which also leads to the exit :). This means while there is a quest to reach the exit, this webpage would continue to exist and you are most welcome to look for alternate routes, dead-ends and explore your way thru the labyrinth until you have reigned over all 36 clues!
3. Lots of people have successfully avoided exacly one dead-ends...
anyone cracked 22

@Mods
Clue for cell 22 pls.
Have been stuck for almost a day!
Its getting frustrating now.
@ Cell 22: Parting gift: find out what the picture on the left is saying...for that it is important to know where you are...once you have done that...figure out the old man on the right..., Starting page of Labyrinth will give you a hint as to how to do that....finally use the hint in the source to bridge the two....
Ok ppl who cracked 24...Please rescue me :(

Hey Kiran or any one, give some more hint for this frustrating PJ.

i need a solid clue for cell 4.
Is Cell 28 to Cell 3 a right path?
@ aamit
Every junction would contain the message "more than one answer possible here"
cell 22:
@anyone

i hv figured out the man on the right at the memorial.
but jus cant relate with the hint. also does the answer hv a hyphen or spaces? how many words are there?

@ Wanderer: Cell 24! GOT IT!!! yayyyyy I can rest in peace now!

online event in what sense...any competition, voting or what
22 clues any one??
head banger..for my peace
got it for 35
:)....too smart IIMK :)
got 4.... DAMMMMMITTTTTTTT a trap!!!
@ 22...it is a cell which differentiates men from boys! Once you figure out a part of the clue (which is easy and a lot of you have) you'd delve deeper into your knowledge / or someone elses, to look for a connection with the rest of the clue...very good chances of winning if you get this Cell right and quickly...clock is ticking...
