    How do you start this.
    All I have are the rules and then it says "When you're ready to start, off you go..." but doesn't tell me how to start.
    There's no question on the page so I don't have to answer anything......or do I?

    I'm only on level 6 at the moment. Just started today. I reckon it's going to give me plenty of headwrecking hours over the next few weeks. But it's one of those quizzes that you can't give up on...

    To get you started the answer for level 1 is
    youranswer


    Enjoy!

    I've done that too but when I enter in the answer
    twoletters
    it doesn't work. I've also tried
    rh (from red herring)
    and various other combinations. Grrrrr >.<

    This quiz isn't clever, it's ridiculously cryptic and very, VERY annoying

    Say the word on the screen VER-Y SLOW-LY (and thenprepare yourself for level seven - it's a bitch!!)

    Zoom to about 400% and scan again

    I got 7 quite quickly after copying the picture and pasting it into MS paint. Try
    top 1/3 of the picture for the answer

    Eight and nine are quite quick to get through too. Now onto ten...

    Have done this but so far I only have

    0=R
    1=E
    3=N
    8=F
    9=U

    Therefore 123456 + 529954 = 653410
    and 653410 = 65N4ER ??????
    Am I missing other numbers?

    Yes - you can work our every number from the "sums" listed. You should be able to work out O and W from the first one. EG -
    N+N= ( and you already know what N is....)

    11 is easy, am trying 12 now

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Exactly. I found that once you're through the first 6-7 levels, it gets a bit easier. I'm up to 16 now

    Look at the source code. I do this on most levels as there's usually some hint in there

    11:
    it's binary

    13:
    Check the tab of the window and the page has the google logo

    16:
    this is a bitch alright. notice that Sb is in bold and the tab says number 51

    19:
    this is ridiculous - I looked on another forum for hints with this. Basically, the lines are grouped in twos. First two lines are z and 1z. The second line of the group describes the first line - i.e. there is 1 letter z - 1z. Lines 3 and 4 are a group and that should help you figure out what line 6 should be from line 5
