P4X Riddle

Oh dear. If I wasn't spending enough time on my point'n'click addiction, I'm now really getting into these puzzle thingumies. The P4X Riddle (available in English and German) seems to be rather a nice example. I'm up to level 5 now, and enjoying it...[subbed by ephiny].

I thought it might be something that started with an e, so taking the 1st letter, you get something like major rampage...but that doesn't work.

Jenni
fer
Anastassakis is Jennifer Aniston

Rosanna Lauren is Rosanna Arquette

Frederick Austerlitz is Fred Astaire

Paul Hewson is Bono

Patricia Andrejewski is Pat Benatar

Camille Javal is Brigitte Bardot



And here is P4X's personal note to us people here that I found in the source. This is what me and him discussed on IRC last weekend....sorry guys...mostly my fault


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

as mentioned before: since there are solutions to this riddle posted throughout the net, there will be no more rankings. It would
not be fair for those who riddled from the beginning. the temptation to look up the solution for level 59 without having solved another riddle
is to big. So there will be a ranking at the end of the riddle. but not during the riddle anymore. I hope you understand.

Sooo...what does that mean? I'm sorry, but I'm so stuck here...I've tried all the versions of "show business" I can think of...
Comment 976, Sunday, December 18th 2005 10:19:00 AM
 
It might not be showbusiness related...I'm sure he just used celbrity names to peak interest in it. It must be something to do with their old names versus their new names...

Okay guys...apparently we are missing something on this (according to P4X anyway)...we don't have all the info...it might be in the source

Right, I'm pretty sure it is to do with the celebrities first names as they are written in the source code...according to P4X, we have to think simple...and he grinned when I asked if it was either shortened versions of the names (eg Jen instead of Jennifer) or the first letters...

Someone help!

Xalicarius, the best thing to do is download Opera, which is a superior internet browser to Internet Explorer. It is a free download and allows you to see the image properties by just right clicking on a picture. The link to the download is at the very bottom of this page.

to see the 'properties' of a picture without downloading new programs simply..right click on pic and 'save as' (desktop is the easiest place). then view destop, right-click on the saved pic and choose 'open with... select notepad. You can then read all the picture properties that you want!
