>Insert E. Is there any?

Is it a Japanese word spelt in English?

Is it someone's name?

Is it more important to find out what the word is rather than what the rooms exactly were?

(For people with 30 posts per page) Oh man, 6th page and we still haven't figured this out.

Yeah, I remembered that there are no duplicate letters.

Is it a first name?

A surname?

Two names?

Is the number hidden in the name in English (One, Two, Three) or Japanese (Ichi, Ni, San)?

Is it a kanji within the name?

Is it from obscure language I've never heard of?

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #161 on:** March 05, 2010, 06:10:49 PM »

I've been told to rephrase.

Is the number hidden within the name in a well-known language?

Is the language European?

Is it African?

But you said we were spelling out a name and a number!

...Fine. Time for language guessing time.

Is the language French? Italian? German? Spanish? Latin?

Does this riddle expect us to understand a European language that isn't English?

Is knowledge of the language this number is in necessary to solve the riddle?

So basically the number lead is useless, and we're back to 'a word consisting of a Touhou character + a number in a language no-one here knows'?

You mentioned earlier that the letter E was present. Was it in the number segment?

Is the number less than six?

Does the number have exactly four letters when spelt?

Therefore the number is one.

So am I right in thinking we're looking for an 8-letter word consisting of a Touhou character's name followed by the letters 'one'? Or is it an anagram?

Yes so far but the answer is more than just that alone

So wait, it's going to be a jumbled mess? Like RUMIAONE? (If that's a horribly misspelt attempt to write Room I Own I will shoot you myself.)
