Same here. I think it might be upside down.

This book will be the death of me.

It’s really hard to see. I got the Pat code from it and it’s just another riddle that we have to answer!

I've been staring at 7s till it looks wrong. Can't work it out.

I've even turned the page upside down as in the time-honoured school calculator joke - just in case the word was 8008135 Grin

Maybe try drawing a line over the 7s? It might help

@Mellissamoon Where is the P.A.T code? I'm looking top right of the page Xmas Confused

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about these subjects:

I put a pat code in for day 13.
I got a message saying
SOLV: Tom ? It looks like you've cracked the final riddle! Congratulations!
SOLV: Your grandfather knew you could do it.
He entrusted me with this message.
He asked me to read it to you if you could decipher the final riddle in his diary.
And you just did:

Then attached a voice note?!
Have I ruined the book for myself?!
I don't know what I have done wrong?
Still don't have an answer for the website tho.
HELP😭

Looks like you entered the pat code wrong and got the last one by mistake. Just ignore it and carry on

I found it yesterday - it helps if you draw a 4x4 grid on a seperate piece of paper and can then plot where the 2 and 3 dot squares are.

Just staring at the page didn't work for me.

ScrambledSmegs · 12/12/2023 17:49

Oh 🎾⚽️🏀. I thought I'd got the right PAT code for day 15 but it thinks I've solved the game.

smallplants · 12/12/2023 19:52

Ok I'm still losing the will to live trying to find the bloody PAT code on day 13...someone please tell me where it is?!? Xmas Envy

Pilscat · 12/12/2023 20:21

Use the clues - I never did find the pat code but got the answer

Rainbow57 · 12/12/2023 21:14

I only used the clues as well, does that make us neanderthals ?? 🤔

To be honest I don’t even know how I got it. It was some weird fluke I can’t even describe it 😂 my autistic brain just saw a pattern. I’m sorry. It was a small part like a miniaturised Pat code I used the same amount of tiny squares if that makes sense

The Pat code leads to another riddle not the answer it would be easier just telling you what the code is 😂

I’m stuck on day 13 I have the pat code but can’t sole the riddle. I know it’s sapiens on right hand side 😫

“We lived together but I didn't survive. Who am I?”
the clue is homosapiens but that isn’t the answer.

I’m still trying to work out day 14. I know the riddle on the left and the location but can’t seem to get the answer. Does anyone have any hints?

There's a very famous statue near that location. It's a bit tenuous.

Personally I thought they should have gone with the classic' Doctor Doctor, my dog has no nose' joke but we've already established that I'm childish Grin

ScrambledSmegs · 14/12/2023 09:00

If anyone could help with the chess part of Day 15 that would be amazing. Do you need to be able to play chess to solve it? We've solved the PAT code but now stuck.

DH and both kids do and they can't work it out. I can't and am equally mystified.

RaelImperialAerosolKid · 14/12/2023 09:31

@ScrambledSmegs - I'm stuck on this too. The answer wants chess moves - I initially thought to move the queen between the king and knight - so a diagonal 'procession' but that hasn't worked.

Fiona152318 · 14/12/2023 09:41

I got the answer but don’t get the riddle
famous statue in cairo

I've got it!

It's annoyingly obvious when you see it. I'll try and be cryptic not to ruin it for you. In the real world, if the pieces were actually what they represent, what can 3 of them do and one can't? Then use the riddle to put them in order.

If I need to be clearer, let me know.

The riddle is one of the most famous ones around. Just google 'riddle' and the answer and see what you get.

Hahaha I got it. I thought I already guessed the answer and got told it was wrong. Must have made a spelling mistake!!!!! I’m trying to work out day 15 now 🫣

They can all move one space forward except for the knight? 😂 is that it? I’m so confused

Rainbow57 · 14/12/2023 10:22

Is anyone else up to day 23? I think I know what they are but can't decipher them?
