im sending out a request fro help to solve an old puzzle i had lying around, the actual puzzle is a block of rc5 encrypted text

but the question when decoded i do not know i do have clues from someone who solved it i need help to figure it out

this has had me stumped for ages  apearently these clues are enough to guess the answer please help

paraboilod clues:
answer is one word,

Time waits not for beast nor man...

The clock has finally stopped on this puzzle.  

This is a tick rather than a tock for completion.

It was all a matter of time!

People forget that time is fluid and in my defence I gave this as much time as it gave me.

So far you have 5 keys that will unlock the mystery - order them wisely - What a steal:

frettys clues:
I think the purpose of the clue was to hint at something which is neither beast nor man. Maybe time waits only for the elements :p

Think greek, time and elements



things ive tried that didnt work

clepsydra
kronus
cronus
fates
infinity
eternity

Perhaps it's a map to a hidden treasure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Island#Pirate_treasure

Ironically, I only learned about Oak Island yesterday when somehow Google linked to a YT video of it while I was viewing some Bitcoin related video.

This was the first time I visited the Wiki page so that I can link it here, adding it as a comment. Now, I'm led to believe that this may possibly have something to do with my thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=176213.0

Weird!
