Is 28 supposed to have a 'bug'? Or is that the clue? Hmm..

Ughh...no clue how to play Sodoku! Any hints on that one anyone? I seriously don't know how to play it.

you have to have one and only one of each character (typically 123456789, but in this case its letters) in every column, row, and 3x3 sectioned off square. i'd suggest going out and finding a really easy sudoku puzzle and solving it. they're really easy once you get the concept.

Login only link :(

https://www.getdropbox.com/login#register Free registration, but part of the hunt is to created a shared folder with hex. You would need to install the client and utilize your free space.

You can create a shared folder from the web interface.

Officially giving up. Level 21 seems to be buggy - I've shared the folder multiple times with dropquest@dropbox.com and nothing shows up.

Same problem, but I cheated my way past -- hints at the irc channel (including a link to solutions to every problem, but I was on the last one by then ;)

A nice side benefit of this was discovering https://www.dropbox.com/edu , which doubles your space bonus from all referrals. I'm at 13.8gb now with a free account.

And I am at, what I think is, the current 20GB maximum. Weeeee :) Can't see how I would use that space though. It is too little space too keep my music, video or photos, and too much to store anything else.

I symlink all the music I care about into Dropbox, which gives me access to the music I listen to most at my office and on the road, but doesn't mean Dropbox hsa to have sufficient space to store ALL of my music. This hybrid works well for me personally.
