now that's a fine point. good call.


but wait.... if that's the case, how do people from foreign countries know what it's saying... wouldn't the comic itself have to be in their language? So what's to say the chalkboard might not be different? Could someone possibly test the other language idea?

Try changing your language - the comic changes language too. But not the "words" on the blackboards.

There's definitely nothing clickable in the third comic or in the book. Nothing jumped out of me in the source code of either of those pages. It's called "mip," which I thought might be "Mystery Island Plot," but then again, the new island could start with an 'M,' too. I've checked out the Rock Pool, the beach, the Island Mystic, and the Haiku Generator -- nothing unusual.

Just in case (though I guess this is the usual randomly generated crap:
Today's Neopian haiku is:
Now spins fragrantly
sustainable ornament,
assimilates, thin.

Contemplate this, and return
tomorrow for another Neopian haiku.
and
You will be attacked by a pack of glow-in-the-dark Shoyrus.



You will defend yourself against a trio of invisible Chias.

they are about fighting...but apparently not all about being attacked.. i too checked a lot on mystery island.. especially since there is a big volcano on the map in the diary.. i was wondering if it had anything to do with the techo volcano thing... but nothing unusal from what ive checked

From the news:

The explorers have come to a strange temple, but they are not sure how to enter it... Maybe you can help?

You had all the correct symbols, but not in the correct order.

Am I limited in attempts? I see the number in the center counting down... and don't want to waste all my tries up.

Yes, you're limited. It will light all four green and reset if you use up all your tries and have to start over. I'm on the second round -- there are five shapes and 10 tries. But I have to leave for class now! Good luck, guys.

No, I thought yellow meant correct symbol but in wrong order?
Green means correct symbol in correct order.
But I left the page, and went back and now I have 5 rings and 5 lights.

edit: Yeah, green means correct symbol in correct order. I'm on the 3rd round now. 6 rings, 15 tries.
