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.

Well you're entitled to your opinion of course, but #4 is not a guessing game - the answer is given to you, you just have to work out how to find it. #17 has me totally stumped though, anyone offer any clues? I've tried naming the computer, the institute, the museum... no luck :-(

Level #13: google, bsod, bios, lego is not working, I also tried "gijoe" and plural and inverted...

I'm stuck on the last one (which I think is the hardest), but 24-25 is a tricky one as well. The answer is in there though ;) EDIT: I think I may actually have figured it out just now...turns out my original method was just a little off. Now to wait and see if I won!

What number is the last one - I'm now down to level 27.
