I'm sure you guys are way ahead of me, but I finally got the one after the medals... I knew I'd heard 1701 somewhere else. Now I'm stuck again. Oh well, let me keep working. |

| I got to stage 2 part 2, and haven't had time to figure out who (or what) got medals those dates. Anyone else get there? |

Part 14 is 216. 15 is entet after the numbers 8-12. For 16, just click on the right thing. 17 is wordplay, "If you write" is literal. 18 is a match. 19 is a stamp. 20 is vowels. 21 is a soul. 22 has nothing to do with the -grys, it is a variation on the first puzzle. 23 is a table. 24 is blsatsbltsrttabbhdehts. 25 is palindromes. 26 is rmtshafbghotrsahykkntfly. I skipped 14 of the puzzles to stage two, then went back. For S2 P1 you just look for the same sort of thing as in the beginning. S2P2 is Jack Daniels. S2P3 is enterprise. S2P4 is obvious. S2P5 is rio. S2P6 is christmas. S2P7 is hello. S2P8 is famous gry riddle. S2P9 is footsteps. Admittedly some (1/3-1/2) of the level one stuff I found elsewhere on the net.
------------------ O.K., so how did I screw up this time?

Some of the puzzles are good enough, but on some I've thought: WHAT?

| I have to say I don't think this is particularly well made. The question after Stage 13 is so vague, with so many possibilities, that it'd take far more patience than I have to answer it. |

Hehe, I was just trying this out finally and I was completely stuck on the horse one cause I couldn't get the answer KITT out of my mind. I kept thinking to myself, "Well, he'd be a night rider (Knight Rider), so that would make the horse K.I.T.T.)  |

I did that too mole, then figured out the M1 used to end at "Leeds" which is why we weren't getting it.  |

| I don't think it can be MD because there's only one ? next to the question and so far the amount of letters we've needed from each answer have matched the number of ? at the end of each question. |

Stage 11 Answers are
1) Oscar Wilde - OW 2) Kurt Cobain - KC 3) Great Britain (I think) 4) 1958 - 58 or maybe FE 5) Toxicology (I think) - T 6) Maine - M 7) Aerosmith - A 8) Martin Luther King - MLK 9) Tasmania - T 10) Patrick Stewart - PS
OW - KC - GB - 58 - T - M - A - MLK - T - PS
Doesn't look like there are enough vowels to make anything coherent. I'm fairly certain of my answers tho'.

Stage 10 is a bit of a chestnut the answer is (invizzed)
312211 (three 1's, two 2's, one 1 - Each line describes the line above it)

| I'm 99% sure no. 5 is right. The difference between the numbers increases by consecutive multiples of 9. |

In this one, the 1s become 11s, the 2s 12s, and the 11s 21s. I still can't get it, though.

Got it. I prefer 108 because then we have a number being the last 2 plus nine, but that doesn't help much.

OK .... for seq 3 i tried 11, 12, or 13. (according to int seq database, 11 and 13 were slight probables, but 12 was the favorite.) for the 5th seq, i also tried 81, 90, 99, + 108. I then tried all the combinations. Nothing.
I think seq 1 and seq 2 are easily correct. I am 98% sure seq 3 is correct. I am 90% sure seq 4 is correct. I am torn on seq 5 and seq 6. All my searches turn up 135 for seq 6, but it doesn't "feel" right.
grrrrr ....

Assuming 135 is correct, I tried 81, 90, 99, and 108 for seq 5.
Nada.
