Level 23: Follow the working closely. What's wrong with it (if your algebra isn't strong, try replacing a and b with a number and see what happens)? Now, recall something you read on a recent level, and it should become clear.

Level 30: Could the title be sarcastic? If so, is everything in the source still correct?
 
Last semester my roommates pulled a couple of all nighters working on this puzzle. They got up to around level 38 (I'm pretty sure.)

If you get really frustrated, just google the level your on! :D
 
haha, nevermind, i got it. There's actually a few posts around here about cool things you can do on a mac that would help out with this one.

Never Mind.. Level 30?

As some have said I think, take note of the title.

For a further hint: Once you've done that, think waaaaaay back to how you solved a previous puzzle

OK, I am finally at the end of this for now. I also notice a Don't Panic on the wall of fame.. Is that our Don't Panic?

yeah, that would be me :D
congrats to all who persisted and finished. to those still struggling: there is light at the end.
It's hard to figure out who still need a hand and who doesn't, so if you need a nudge, and you don't find enough help in this thread (there is a lot), post again
cheers

ahhhh I still do stuck on 29c still, any clues.

you mean my poem didn't help (post #219)? i'm hurt :)

it has to do with numbers (as do all '29' sub-levels), the info is contained in the image, but it would be the same if it represented Pears, Iguanas, Xylophones, Eyes, Ladders or the Sun

Nope sorry it didn't. But that one did..... time to have a crack at 30.... and then look back through the forum!
 
Thanks to everyone who helped so far, I just wanted to let you know that I'm on 31 right now (did 30 without any clue, so proud ;) )... and of course, if anyone is willing to help... :D
 
I could be reading this wrong, but am I right in thinking the only reason that "000160961 people have tried to solve the puzzle since April 2005.
0 have succeeded" is because it isn't finished yet?!

Or did I just read that really wrong?

yeah, very 'misleading' (a blatant lie is another way to put it):
a few hundreds people have finished whatever is available and i'd be also interested to know what exactly is the counter counting.

Still, it was quite fun.


TheT, lev 31 is quite straightforward. you don't need help there as I am sure you can manage to make your own mistakes ;)

For those who may not realize it yet, there are 2 new levels. I am working on 34 right now.
thx.
i found the 'changed' 31 weird, although easy enough.
i'm looking at 32 but i'm running out of ideas. I can identify everything and one thing is kinda out of place, but i am not getting anywhere.
edit: on to 33
edit: and stuck on 34
