Archive/Storage Riddle [SOLVED]

Post by Hatman »

Ok i'm kinda stuck on the Storage riddle.

I figured out the archive so far.
UHU (Forward) NA (2)
AR (Left) E (1)
TE (Right) NA (2)
LAM (BAck) E (1)
AR (Left) NA (2)

So that covers all directions aswell as the numbers 1 + 2.
I also know KO = 3 from an earlier riddle.

The archive riddle goes:
TE
UHU NA
PALA
UHU NA
PALA NA
AR E
FAAM KO
LAM KO

The first sentence spells Right without a number. Wich i think could mean turn right instead of moving.
What i can't figure out are PALA and FAAM.

Anyone got a hint for me?

UPDATE:
Nvm i figured it out. The initial TE means move 1 right. Wich is confusing because in all other isntances the 1 is pelled out. PALA means turn left, and FAAM means turn right.

The code works like this- Action Number
so UHU NA means Forward 2. You're right that "TE." means turn right- because there's no amount after it.

From the Action Number format, you can extrapolate what KO means.

If you need a hint:

There are two actions on the codesheet that are unlabeled. There are two action words that you don't know.
Solution:

PALA = Rotate Left, FAAM = Rotate Right

I was able to open the door by assuming TE just means move one right.
I believe there is an error in this riddle. The 1st and 3rd line are missing the coresponding numbers. Wich should both be E.
I emailed Almost Human about it. *shrug*

That was actually my 1st hint. I didn't have the paper with the directions when i was in the archive.
I remembered that sign, went back to it, and tinkered out the 1st few words there, including KO.

WATCH - THE - DOTS

Right | Forward x2 | Rotate left | Forward x2 | Rotate left x2 | Left x1 | Rotate right x3 | Back x3

What i don't get is:

If i turn right at start and move 2 i hit the wall, then if i turn left and move 2 i have the wall at my right...
Now if i rotate twice (in any direction) i have the wall at my left side, so how the fuck can i move left again ? :shock:

if the wall is to your left, rotate right x3. Then after that, the gate should be directly in front of you. Then just step back x3, the gate should open after that.
