The puzzle was given to you earlier in the adventure, some parchment with some weird symbols.
I think the solution was something as simple as just count the number of symbols in the message and go to the corresponding number.
I did not solve it myself, but I remember reading it somewhere.
Hope it helped with the trauma...
Somewhere around my 20s, that's when I understood that nearly all action movies suck. I had forgotten it for some time then I saw Armagedon and since that day I never forgot.
Nowadays I just see non blockbuster action movies.
I saw several good films this year. Crash was excellent. I am really glad it won the Oscar. History of violence was OK. Match Point was really entertaining.
They have this so call Cine Art next to where I live. It is great because it is mostly an older audience, so you can watch a movie without pop-corn munching or people talking. Only bad point, they don't have arcade games, but you cannot have it all...
I think the reason why most action movies suck is that it is really hard to get me on their side. I mean, if the movie is so far out, I will be turned down and will not be receptive from that moment.
So if there is a super sexy babe kicking asses to monsters, all that wearing high heels in a latex suit with her boobs nearly falling out, I feel they take me for a morron, not a chance I am going to like the movie. And from the commercials I see on TV, there have been several films like this this year. It's too bad because they may have some good sci-fi scenario, but I cannot pass the kung-fu, super effects crap.
But I am probably not the common case, I guess many guys probably like that kind of action. I am more interested in the story, filming, acting... You can keep your special effects (to me they still don't look as convincing as 2001 special effects)
