I can give you everything that has to be said about room 37 but I would like other to participate too... -------------Room 37------------ I call this room, the Shape room. What is the riddle in this room? Well, first let's enumerate the things in this room. This a sphere, a cone, 2 dices which are cubical, 2 pots which are cylindrical and a net. That's why I call it the shape room :) If we look in the text, the main clue is: "We must look at this from all sides before we make a decision." Except the dices, none of the other objects really have sides. Well that's it! If we look at the numbers on top of the dices, there is a 2 and...... a blank side?! No, this must be a light optical illusion. There is no such thing as a blank side on a dice. If we place a dice in the same way the dice on the picture is placed, the top number is 4. That's why he say that we must look at it from all sides :) The only possible door with 4 and 2 in it is 42. They are just putting you on the right track to the center path if you got the wrong way. If half of them wanted to go one way and the other half the other way, it was because they though it was really a blank side. If that was so, the number would have been 0. The only possible door with 2 and 0 is door 20. But as I said, there is no such thing as a blank side on a dice. ---------------------------- If you want some hint, read only the beginning of it. I would like other people to bring their solution to other rooms too. -Raphael Vanier
