How do I solve level 7? It wants me to select stop signs and bikes from a bunch of letters.

You select the words.

I gave up at "Mark all squares of the 64th floor of the Empire State Building"[1]. I had even spent an hour on the chess challenge, but that one looked tasteless if I wasn't missing a trick. I thought that I was supposed to try all the floors close to 64 (considering the topmost one below the tower was 86). I really didn't have the patience for that, especially the possibility of missing to mark an overflowing pixel line, etc.

Also, I hit a bug at the AI challenge which prevented me to pass it. So I had to spent at least 5-6 more tries to pass it.[2]

Fun, but wouldn't go near it again :)

The progression in difficulty is great, really hooks you then ramps up

I couldn‘t get past 4. Either Neal or I don‘t know our vegetables.

A common mistake is to consider a tomato a vegetable, perhaps it might help.

Stuck on level 11. What is Waldo? Should I fail this level to prove I am not a robot?

Search "where is waldo" online. It's a famous book series where you have to find a person on complex setups

Is there something I am missing for level 6? Tic-Tac-Toe is not winnable if I don't start first.

Edit: never mind. turn off dark reader if you have the same problem.

I got stuck at the level where it asked me this:

"You're in a desert, walking along when you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?"

Excellent! I had to give up at the Waldo level, impossible on mobile.

Totally doable on mobile. Perhaps you can set Firefox to always allow zoom in a11y settings. Zoom helped me a lot.

I got stuck on finding a "guitar cat" in Germany.

I always admire the level of effort Neal puts into his creations. Bravo!
