Stuck at level 4. "Everything except Mr. Potatohead is a vegetable" is the truth but not accepted. Apparently its some arbitrary definition of "vegetable"

Since when are grapes or bananas vegetables?

Pasting a screenshot into ChatGPT gave me the right answer immediately. Same for the minecraft thing for which I was clueless. We non-robots are already far behind for most of these tasks.

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?"

Let me tell you about my mother. EDIT. Answer might be : What's a tortoise?

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…

Yeah, you just try every floor close to 64. It took me like a minute or two to click through.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable

> Vegetables are edible parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food. This original meaning is still commonly used, and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter, including flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds. An alternative definition is applied somewhat arbitrarily, often by culinary and cultural tradition; it may include savoury fruits such as tomatoes and courgettes, flowers such as broccoli, and seeds such as pulses, but exclude foods derived from some plants that are fruits, flowers, nuts, and cereal grains.

Level 47: Din Don Dan harder than Deep Blue;)

It's very easy if you've played rhythm games before, like Stepmania or osu!mania. I noticed that the music was very desynced, and playing with arrows is really hard on a laptop, so I remapped arrows to DF JK (how I played in osu!mania), and easily passed it (97% acc) without sound on the first try.

It was pretty hard to do on mobile

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Fruits and berries are not vegetables. But potato man is :)

This is not true. E.g. zucchinis/courgettes are fruits but are widely considered vegetables: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zucchini

Same for eggplants/aubergines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggplant

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.

The guitar cat is on the back of a guy's t-shirt, he's on the opposite side of the square to the stage and facing away from it.

You can "restart" that challenge (with the bottom left "arrows in a circle" button) to look for a couple kissing or a chilli's sign.

I found the latter (it's SPOILER in a window)
