This one annoyed me so here's a hint to what I was doing "wrong". http://pastie.org/531585

I am stuck at #13. I tried using 6 & 9 for G ...but it does not work. I am sure I have all 4 answers (1) G ...(2)B * (3)B * (4)L *, but it seems it is not accepting.

Did you put them upside down?

Yes I did that too. if the answer is 1069 ..i tried entering 1069 and 9601 ...it does not pass. Am I missing something?

What is the answer to this: Enter the command to show the server variables in php: It's got to be some short text cause $_SERVER, phpinfo, getenv, and other variants don;t work.

Don't waste your time on this stupid puzzle. #13 is just completely unfair. There are too many combinations (if the answer ends with '0' do add a '5' to form a plural or use a decimal point? Do you use '9' or '8' to represent 'b'?) Trying out all the possibilities is just not fun. And the 4th question is too much of a guessing game.
