Levels 1-20

I stole this guide from: http://www.zomgstuff.net/forum/showthread.php?t=9794

Eventually I'll make my own for the first few levels, but in the meantime you can use this junky guide. It's kind of messy but I'll be cleaning it up over the next couple days. Give me an email if you solve puzzles past Level 20.





LEVEL 1


So...what the fuck is it? A bunch of shitty eggs in the grass with "numbers on them." If you can't get this one, this test might not be for you. Once you figure it out click the egg with a "?" on it and enter Level 1 for the username. Then put the answer to this puzzle in the password box and hit ok. If you get to Level 2 it means you got it, Good Game!

Hint:
Look at the numbers on the eggs, that's all that's important. They are combinations of the numbers 1,2,3. Which combination is missing?

Answer:
You are 100% idiot. Why are you even taking this test? It takes 10 seconds to figure out the answer....That's shorter than the time spent reading this sentence. Ah well, the answer is 312

LEVEL 2


This one is pretty easy. In fact, it's almost as easier as the first one! It's a mirror with the reflection of a piece of paper with a hidden message cutout.

Hint: It's in a mirror so what you see is the opposite of whats in the mirror!
Hint 2: Copy the characters exactly as you see in the picture on a piece of paper while looking in the mirror yourself

Answer: It's pepsi! Click the word in the mirror and enter level2 as username and pepsi as password

LEVEL 3



The title of the page is "What's for dessert?" take that into consideration! You might want to mute the music on this one...It's bad.

Hint: It says to count! Count the number of letters in each word of the first sentence (keep them seperate)
Hint 2: Take careful notice of the period in the first sentence

Answer: The first sentece starts HMM. A NOTE There are 3 letters in the HMM then a dot, then 1 letter in A followed by 4 letters in note. 3.14 = pi Click the word hmm to enter it in, and that's the answer: pi

LEVEL 4



The title of the page is "Math symbol", once again. A big clue! This one is really easy if you can figure it out (I know, that sounds dumb...)

Hint: Look up the logos for Yahoo and Jeopardy
Hint 2: The answer is not !, it is the math name for it. Try googling math and !

Answer: The answer is = factorial. You can access the answer box by clicking where the ! should be in each of the logos.

LEVEL 5



The title of the page is "Double Trouble" think about it.

Hint: Look at the images...broccolli, balloon, and there's a bunch of b's...
Hint 2: Repeated letters and an occupation..think

Answer: The answer is bookkeeper. This was a hard one.

LEVEL 6


So you see some random picture and notes play...okay?

Hint: Notes have letters associated with them...turn your sound up and listen
Hint 2: Use a guitar tabbing program and try to match the notes to their letter

Answer: The answer is cabbage. It's the notes from the song for this level

LEVEL 7



This is what I consider to be the hardest out of the first 20. You need to use external resources.

Hint: Broccolli is in puzzle five, Cabbage in six, red onion in seven
Hint 2: Vegetables have a code associated with them..
Answer: The PLU identification code for a red onion is 4082. That's the answer!

LEVEL 8


This one is easy..once you get it.

Hint: The numbers are the numbers of previous levels...something is related to the phrases and the level of that number
Hint 2: Anagrams...Google it.
Answer: The title of level six is I'm a jerk but listen, an anagram of this is: justintimberlake BINGO!

LEVEL 9



Have fun with this one! It's a numbered mess....Don't cheat on this one, it's not fun that way!

Hint: One, Two, Three = o and e
Hint 2: Which letter is not in one of the number names for the numbers 1 to 100
Answer: a is the only letter that does not occur in a number's full name. In fact, it won't appear till 1000! But that's beside the point. The answer is therefore:aaaaa The number you click to get the answer box is a 1 on the left side


LEVEL 10


This was the most fun for me out of the first 10 because I got it in a reasonable amount of time and it was still pretty tricky

Hint: What's a palindrome?
Hint 2: What's a word related to honda that's the same backwards and forwards.
Answer: The words kayak, radar, and racecar are the same backwards and forwards. So is the word civic (from honda). That's the answer!

LEVEL 11a


This one will have you baffled for hours if you don't know a little bit about how the internet works.

Hint: Page source anyone?

Basically the same concept as 11a?

Hint: Page source anyone?
Hint 2: Come one...are you an idiot?
