http://www.hack.net
i pulled it up on a whim check it out... there IS more then what you are seeing ;) once you are enlightened to what it is we can work together.. that is all i have to say for now *evil grin*
EDIT: and anybody who knows what others aren\'t seeing dont spoil it JUST yet.. wait a lil\' bit :)
-
Dammit you got me scared now. I\'m paraniod I can\'t keep the page open for more that 10 seconds :P
-
people have been trying to solve that crap for more than a year afaik...
-
am I supposed to mess around with those binary numbers into Hexadezimal or what after this damn bug vanquished?
-
next step is http://www.ninebows.com/two/
no one\'s solved it yet though, afaik.
-
Well the next step isn\'t
http://www.ninebows.com/three/ (http://www.ninebows.com/three/)
:P
-
Ugh can somone please explain this thing to me in pm\'s?
-
Hell, explain it here. I think there are many of us that are lost...well, even if it is just us two then still explain at least a little here. I don\'t need a full-blown explaination; just enough to let me know what the hell is going on...

Google, my friend, is a useful tool.
EDIT: Wow, rank back.
-
well that didn\'t take long for ya\'ll to solve :).. i cant get the mathmatical problem on /two :( i am great with puzzles and breezed to it.. but i S U C K at mathmatic puzzles :/ i have noticed there are 3 + and 3 - signs and i am guessing they aren\'t mathmaticle operators but past that i dont have a friggin clue O.o
-
Google has failed me on htis one...
/two is killing me
there are like three other message boards working on this problem probably about 50 - 60 people and it dosen\'t seem that any of them have figured out an answer.
I\'m not sure I want to spend any more time on this... But I probbly will :P
-
i quit working on it.... yesterday XD but i\'m still working on it :P it just bugs the hell outta me wondering what the end is :/ i\'m no farther on /two and i am taking a break to play some games or something
-
omg it is so damn simple and easy.
people sit there wondering what it is and get all worried, so they click on the tiny little hpyerlink and it comes up with binary thus telling people it is not anything real. lol this realm isnt real
sorry had to edit, i assume im wrong and i try and outsmart trick questions cause i carnt work them out, so i assume that i did not spoil anything :P
-
Well in my searches for a solution on one of the message boards someone was able to spell out a message
get /POFE
Well the nine bows seem to have something to do with Egypt
so i decided to search for POFE and Egypt I came up with a movie that was aout a few years ago Prince of Egypt people has shortened it to PofE This movie is all about Moses I ofcourse tried http://www.ninebows.com/moses and that didn\'t work but there may be something here.
-
Maby if you take all the numbers, and use the letter they represent. If the number overlaps, just start counting from \"A\" again.
-
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=+site:http://www.ninebows.com+ninebows
As you can see from here, there are no more sites that are connected to http://www.ninebow.com
So you will have to keep searching.
-
Kiern: Yes, I know and love Google, but I had no clue what the hell to Google. I could have done their advanced search and found pages like this, but I didn\'t think it would help me, so I avoided that.
And if that many people are stuck on it, is there a real answer? Did the creator of it just throw some numbers out there to fool people and make them waste their time?
If there is an answer, however, good luck. If not, hah! You\'ve just been fooled. ;)
-
Can you people explain why i\'m looking at a bug while you guys speak about a math problem?
Okay i found a link that took me to the binary.
I have no idea what to do with the binary numbers even though i got the link to the /two. I think the last step 1 might have to do with step two. And heres a link to a blog that i found on google that talks about it a bit. The commenters seem to know what they are talking about.
Edit: forgot the link :)

Edit Edit Edit Edit: My brain hurts now. Thanks a lot. Im not gonna be able to sleep until I solve this thing.
-
This thing is killer I hafe pondered over those numbers for hourd one site led me to an IQ test that i scored in the 99th percentile I\'m probably over thinking the problem...
I found this link (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=1469571&perpage=40&pagenumber=1) where people are working verry hard at trying to get through step two.
Hopefully some of their ideas will be helpful.
-
Did anyone check out that second link i gave on my post? could that possably be the next lvl?
-
checked it out... no clue what step it is... anybody care to \"throw the dictionary at it\"? of corse it may also be unrealted XD
-
Yes but whats with the strange text that says homeseer0 on it. And why would a random prompt like this show up on such a simple site...
A bet aliens are behind this 8o Eigther that or Bill Gates :P
Oh s*** what if hes giving away like a billion dollars to osmone who does this >.>
okay ill stop getting carried away now... *runs off to do the puzzle*
Edit censored the word :)
-
i hear there is a prize.. doubt its that big though :P i\'m still on step two... the blog for it says its all so simple anybody could do it if they stopped making it seem so hard O.o
-
The guy claims there is a prize...
No ones passed level 2 yet and if they did why would they tell others =/
Edit: I got an idea.
Take the numbers and make em all roman numerals. Then you will have combos of V\'s I\'s ans X\'s since that is whgat roman numerals are composed of. Then You might be able to lose the V\'s with the addition and stuff thats there. Whcih leaves you with I\'s and X\'s or in normal terms, 1\'s and 10\' Which could be used as binary. :)
Im to lazy to try but if somone\'s bored, go for it :)
-
efflixi sent this to me last night, and im not gonna waste my time trying to figure it out. im not to good with computer commands and stuff like that to figure it out. but if you guys do, plz show me the way!!
-
Just got the idea to replace the spaces with %\'s, and use it as hexidecimal.
Or maby just remove the spaces completely. You get 284339. Go figure.
Remember, this can be done by a 6th grader.
-
hmm the roman numeral idea is interesting O.o but if this is easy enough for a 6th grader then why cant anybody get it XD i think we aer making it to complex when the answer is very simple :)
i still haven\'t been able to get it though lol what if its like http://www. .com ? :P that would be simple.. in fact i\'ll try it right now
-
the nine bows were the nine enemies of egypt. this explains the title. the first clue i think represents the direction of one of the nine bows. Still investigating on this.
-
the \"nine bows\" were actually the enemies of ancient egypt. here are some pages that may help us out:
http://touregypt.net/featurestories/enemies.htm
Ps: the nine bows were as follows:
1. The Hau-nebu on the north-eastern coast of the Mediterranean
2.Shat, a people to the south of Egypt, near the third cataract
3. The Ta Shema
4. Sekhet-iam, western oasis dwellers
5. Ta Mehu
6. Pedjtiu-Shu who roamed the eastern desert
7. The Libyan Tehennu
8. Iuntiu-seti, a nomadic people, possibly Nubian
9. Mentiu nu Setet who were Asiatics found in Canaan and along the coast up to Ugarit
-
Maby it means that if you draw a circle (360 decrese), and put egypt in the middle, the numbers will tell you in what degree the enemy is located.
I dont know how this will help, but what ever.
Edit: the pluses and minuses indicate that the enemy is large and takes up more then one degree.
I dont have time, but if you are confused about what i just said, tell me and I\'ll explain later.

thanks alot guys now you have me working on numbers for the first time since school. which by the way was a good while back. wifey makeing me wear a hat to hold down the steam while i decipher this crud

he he he he he :)
Russians ideas good but I see no way on how that owuld help...
-
for some reason, clue 2 adds up to a perfect 200
-
well i tried http://www.200.com but its an old person site.. or maybe a riddle in itself.. i dunno ;( didnt feel like the TMI on authritis to find out :P
-
could osiros have to do with it. I say this because if you do a zoom on the link on the first page it shows a line with a dot over it. Sorta like the sun and the horrizon.
-
didnt someone say that a 6th grader could do this? you guys seem to go into complex things beyond that of a 6th grader. try looking up 6th grade curriculum, maybe that is a clue??? or the number 6? i dont know, i havent really put much effort on the puzzle. i remember, however, doing a project on egypt in 6th grade, o.O
just some ideas i pulled out of my head.
-
I think i remember studying world history in 6th grade. Inparticularly, the ancient civs!
Ps: there are nine candles on a monarah and the Jews escaped from egypt.
-
we never solved the first one :P the normal link they have, the binary stuff gives the link to the word two ( if you are good enough to figure it out )
I took the liberty of changing the numbers to some computer related stuff :P i was bored
It\'s like this trough the ASCII table
puzzle number calculated CalculatedDecimals CalculatedHexaDecimals CalculatedOctet
PN.............CC.........CD.........CHD.........CO
27..............27.........ESC..........\'............23
26..............26.........SUB..........&...........22
30+3..........33.........!...............3...........27

23-1...........22.........SYN...........\"...........18
23-1...........22.........SYN...........\"...........18
22-2...........20.........DC4.........Space.....16
although the forum won\'t accept to much spaces, this is the list, sorta like >.>
Stupid form** mumbles flames against forum** crappy stuf... **mumbles some more**
if we would recalculate it binairy to get letters out of it we should get 3 extra numbers to fill the group, that way we would be able to create another 3 letter word.
And i don\'t believe crap that a 6 grade student can solve that puzzle :P
-
just want to say the 6th grade answer to this would be
\"that easy\".
-
what, did everyone just give up?
-
Honestly forgot about it XD... been doing some other things lately and i hate math and thats the step im stuck on ;(
-
ya
-
Fact: there just isn\'t as much time as there used to be
-
personaly I think this one is a hoax, I have tracked it on 6 other msg boards, from programmers to artists/designers. Everyone gets stuck at the same point. I\'de love to be wrong.
-
So would all of us mofy, so would all of us...
-
What the hell its just some sought of bug....unless theres more to it :(
-
Look around on the left side and you will see a tiny black dot that is a button. That takes you to a page with some binary on it. I didnt notice the button until i maximised the window so you might need to do the same.
-
that was step one...
-
its noy a dot, its a dot with a line under it.
p.s. one possible answer is osiros
1. nine bows are the enemies of ANCIENT EGYPT
2. the symbol resemebles sunset and sunrise
3. this refers to osiros
-
Anyone know how you\'re supposed to get from the binary page to page two? If anyone can explain how that\'s supposed to be done then it may give insight on how to progress further.
Whois says ninebows.com is owned by hack.net, so I bet any other sites in the puzzle will be owned by hack.net as well.
The owner is Ryan K. Brooks, of Applied Atomics.
Edit:
Nevermind, I know how to get to page two, it just didn\'t work when I tried the lazy way out (using an online converter) ;p
Manual works fine.
Edit 2:
There doesn\'t appear to be anything relevant on the hack.net site either, just a ton of gallery pages.
Edit 3:
Found the puzzlemaker\'s blog:
http://www.seismicgopher.com/
There\'s a prize. :)
Edit 4:
Seems logical that step two is some form of encoding of the next page to go to, or an email address to send to or something. There are also nine numbers (including operators), but that could be a coincidence.
Edit 5:
OK, there are nine levels, and only a few people have made it to the third level. The \"nine bows\" seems to be a theme for the levels from Egyptian mythology or something. There were nine enemies (called the nine bows) of Egypt. So we probably need to find out what these enemies were.
-
methinks weve all given up...
-
Im SOOOO lost! i got the dot thing....after watching the bug for an hour strait..waiting for it to move! but heck whats with the ones and zeros??
-
They\'re binary. Computers use binary for everything. They convert to characters spelling out a message. Look up how to convert binary to decimal, then look up an ASCII chart to find out what it says.
-
i did some research and there is nothing more on this webhost, hack.net that is.
so if there is a solution it should either be on a different website or it\'s worlds biggest hoax that made his domain worth millions ( yes the domains are worth that much, i checked ).
