I finally was able to get my hands on a protractor, and I was correct about the one angle on the spherical trigonometrical design being immeasurable. The other two (one outer, one inner) are both at 20 degree angles.

I've been working on this password, as well. Frankly, the solution you indicated angers me. The riddle CLEARLY is talking about the object itself, nothing else! Thanks for the help! I finally got the right password!

Hi Stonebreaker, Buddah31 and Lck282
Still have problems then read on,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ok first of all my previous clues should of helped, well I thought so
1:You are correct in thinking about stone circles, but you are looking at the wrong one! Which is England's most known stone circle?
2: Now you know what to look for, where do we all go to read "peer controlled" facts on the internet? This should help you find an interesting account.
3: In one Arthurian Legend account it is claimed that someone prominent in the the story constructed the Stone Circle. This should narrow down which story to read.
4: The stones they used were from Ireland (according to the account) but where did they come from? That's the solution to this puzzle.
5. This has nothing to do with the puzzle just actual history. The Stones are known to have actually come from Wales and also nothing to do with a mythical King Arthur or his friend in a pointy hat
I hope it helps,
Cheers,
Flipside

Hi, everyone! I'm new (obviously) to the board, though I've been working on all six puzzles for the past week or so. I don't have all of them solved yet (Equation, anyone? Hehe!) but I wanted to add an additional insight that no one has either posted or noticed.
Several of the boxes have light drawings superimposed on the top of the boxes, where the puzzle illustrations are. Equation has a spherical trigonometrical design superimposed on the illustration in faint black lines. This design shows 3 angles (one inside, two outside) although only two of them seem measurable. I don't own a protractor (yet!) so I don't know what the degrees are.
Pillars of Atlantis has the familiar circle and square from the Vitruvian Man superimposed with faint red lines. Below the geometric shapes is script written in Da Vinci's hand.
Carta Blanca has what appears to be the round table superimposed with faint red lines. The pie slices are more complex than the emblem shown on the inner lid of Legend of the King, having circles within circles as well as more pie slices made, but the central circle is blank (not even a rose to symbolize the Holy Grail).
I don't know if any of these superimposed pictures add to these puzzles or not, but I felt it was worth noting since no one else has. Enjoy!

I've been wanting these forever. Still waiting for the launch of puzzle 7 before I bite though.

Hi guys,
I emailed Family Games Inc, yesterday asking about puzzle #7 and they replied today!!
Quote from reply:-
"The puzzle is set to be released this year. There was some quality control issues when the last prototype was made, so back into production it went. We're hoping to have it out on the market ASAP to keep our customers happy!"
Shirley, didn't you get a similar email over a year or two ago about quality issues and starting the production run again for puzzle 7?
This seems to me to be the same response others have received with no date (or season as they've done before).
I love 3-D assembly puzzles which is what this looks like and have been looking forward to it for way too long. I doubt I'll even be excited when (read that as if) it comes out now.
Sadly,
- Jack

yes, very much so, probably more than you realize.
buddah31 wrote:

Not so much about him but one storyteller's version of what he did. Like Flipside said you just have to read the right thing. Geoff's post really helped push me in the right direction.
buddah31 wrote:
and is this a place? or a person? or a year?
Well I have two thoughts on that. To help you I'd say to remember the old addage your first guess is probably correct. To complicate things I'd have to tell you that you have to type in every person, place, item, and thing you read about and keep a list of all your guesses. This next isn't a spoiler so much as my notes on what I had tried.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
At first I thought the clues pointed to Stonehenge. Read up on it and found the legend that giants brought the ring from Ireland. Read that people actually believe the stones might have been moved by glaciers. The stones aren't all from the same time or place. Outer ring, inner ring and other stones. Stones like Arthur's Stone were related to glaciers. To me this fit the glaciers = Nature's Fury clue.
Passwords tried:
glacier, glaciers, glacial
The giants moving the stones led me to the Giant's Causeway near Bushmills. The basalt hexagonal stones (volcanic rock = nature's fury) thrown by the giant Finn McCool. Tried some passwords from that. Nothing seemed to work.
Read up on the Arthur/Merlin legends and tried every thing that might fit. Here's some of that list.
When I did get the password I realized it was staring at me the whole time.
I don't know why I hadn't tried it before.
hope that helps,
- Jack

To be fair I was pretty familiar with Arthurian Legends from other puzzle games and I never knew the story this related to and the answer is a bit obscure also so I tried everything However the reference is available for all to read and edit, only if you know where to look.
ok, ok getting carried away now, no more clues today

Hi Flipside,
if you're still looking on this side, please help me and tell me where I have to look.
I've read a lot of sides about King Arthur and Merlin in German and in English but I hadn't found the right hint.
Maybe my english is too bad but I really thought I'd be able to realize when there is a relation to the hints are given in this forum.
Hoping that you will help me to get my brain unscrambled to use it for other things than the solution of this password e.g. the solution of the enigmatic temple.
Best regards,
stonebreaker

The Equation
Thank you very much, dmb.
I thought I had read this thread very extensivly but now I see I hadn't.
Now it's time to order the next parts und try to solve them.
I hope when I need help again, I will find it here.

The password has been discussed ad nauseum in this thread already, and has actually been posted - you'll just need to read it.

The Equation
Hi,
I'm new here and quite new on the game, because our "local dealer" on Christmas market had promoted this game as "real new".
We started about middle of December an found the solution for "Da Vinci" including password in about one week. So I got the second part as Christmas present. From there on we try to solve The Equation. Our solution for the puzzle wasn't announced here yet. But anyway it doesen't lead us to the right password. We have had a lot of ideas und following the clues in this forum we tried further more but without success.
And now here's my request: If anyone can help me with the pw, please do it.
I'd like to buy the next parts but won't do it before this one is solved.
And I'd rather like to think about other things than ellipses...
Best wishes, stonebreaker

Well to me you seem bang on track.
If I'm thinking of the same English Landmark, I hope this this helps with your circling thoughts
And you will need to read up on Arthurian myths but concentrate on Arthur's teacher
Hope this helps

so,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
does this have to do with the the ring of giants in Ireland?
or perhaps not it at all...
or is it the fact that HE ( Not Arthur his teacher) made

this certain circle in Britain
and is this a place? or a person? or a year?

Thanks for sharing, Flipside!
Have to admit... after this much of a delay... I am not expecting it to be released. But. Fingers crossed... as you say.
