Welcome to Elma Riddle. To solve this riddle, you have to struggle through
15 different kinds of levels and use your elma knowledge.
This is not an ordinary elma competition - you don't have to höyl any levels.
Instead, some basic knowledge of elma scene and elma itself are needed.
First, remember these general rules:
- Don't spoil! Don't tell the answers to those who haven't yet solved the riddle. Little hints are allowed, though.
Also you are NOT allowed to upload the levels anywhere. That would just ruin the fun of solving the riddles from someone else.
- Don't try to hack to mbnet server! They (and I) wouldn't like it. Not worth of it.
- Use your common sense everywhere. Behave.
The best place to ask for help is in IRCnet on channel #elmariddle or #across. You can find me with nick 'harrii' or 'zebraTAP'.
If the channels appears to be inactive or if you can't use irc, try
mopolauta. I will also gather a list
of ppl who have solved the elma riddle (don't worry, you'll get instructions how to get there).
See the list at the bottom of this page.
To get the levels, you have to know the password of that lev.
The password gives you the url of the next level in the following way:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/zebra/xxxx/ERyy.lev
Just replace the xxxx with a password and yy with the level number.
For example, if the password of the first level were 'across', then the url
would be 'http://koti.mbnet.fi/zebra/across/ER01.lev'. All the passwords
have to be written in lowercase letters without spaces. As said before,
don't try to hack to mbnet server. If you find a way to access the levels
directly, please let me know instantly. If the level file opens as text
(it does at least in firefox), just press file->save as and it should work.
The riddle becomes more and more difficult until the end. Each riddle is different from others.
If some riddle is too hard, you can ask someone who has been longer around in the elma scene.
Teamwork is also allowed.
But now, let's get to the first part of the riddle. Good luck!
The first riddle
Do you know who is this guy in the pic?
To make this first riddle little easier, I give you some more hints.
- He maintains the Elasto Mania Programs Guide at his web site
- He has arranged all the Mopo Kups.
- The password which you need is his elma nick.
Ok, no more hints anymore, go and download the first lev!

My rec here too (I solved the riddle myself too :))

It's been inspired by notpron (but doesn't even try to be so hard).
