4 is right in front of you in the picture. Took me a while but it's right in front of you if you know how to read it.

I can tell I am going to waste alot of time on this.

Vin-barrett 10-12-2005 04:55 PM

level 5 here too- This is tough

bryanthompson 10-12-2005 04:57 PM

Level 5 was tough, figure out what song is being referenced throughout the pic & text.

Made it to level six... not sure what it's about yet.

do you have to use google for this one?

bryanthompson 10-12-2005 05:32 PM

Yeah. Then after I found the answer, I didn't even know I was looking at the answer at first.

Vin-barrett 10-12-2005 05:36 PM

Level 5 is kickin my ass

bryanthompson 10-12-2005 05:43 PM

Don't post spoilers!!!!

And, the login/passwords and urls don't use capitals.

Vin-barrett 10-12-2005 05:47 PM

spoiler edited

Made it to 6 :)

Aurel 10-12-2005 05:49 PM

Level 7 now...level 6 was tricky:1) find 2) decode 3)reorder

Aurel

Aurel 10-12-2005 06:04 PM

7 anyone? I don`t get it...can`t even find where to enter a password.

Rondinone 10-12-2005 06:05 PM

Level 7!

Aurel 10-12-2005 06:09 PM

Done. Was not that bad. How bout 8 now....

Vin-barrett 10-12-2005 06:09 PM

86 911 10-12-2005 06:15 PM

That's it. I'm not wasting any more time with this. You guys are EVIL! :p

Rondinone 10-12-2005 06:18 PM

Level 8! I'll have to stop for tonight.

masraum 10-12-2005 06:51 PM

You may want to click on the hints which, I believe only go up to level 8 (I believe it said 168 levels total).

Some have links that take you to a password prompt, but for a couple you just change the existing url.

Make sure you always right click on the page (not the image) and choose "view source" or "view page source". Some of the most valuable hints are hidden in the raw page that is never displayed on the webpage. Sometimes it's a good idea to look at the password prompt too. In a couple you'll have to download and manipulate a file that he gives you a link to.

I started this afternoon at work, we got to level 16 before we all left for the day.

masraum 10-12-2005 07:02 PM

For level 6 there is text that's "hidden" on the page. Try selecting the page to reveal the codes. Once you have the codes if you can't figure out what they are/what you need to do with them by reading the "page source" then you can click this link to see a page that should tell you how to use them. It's not a dead give away, but may be useful for some of you that don't have extensive computer backgrounds. Even with that you don't exactly have the username and pass, but you should be able to easily get it.

masraum 10-12-2005 07:05 PM

Level 8 isn't too bad. It has to do with a file. Once you figure it out you can plainly see the username and password.

I told you guys, this thing'll drive you crazy. I'll probably quit at some point to keep from being driven any further crazy.

Aurel 10-12-2005 07:48 PM

In level 8, I looked the source, downloaded the deathball file, looked at the movie, but I can`t see the password and username...WTF? time to go to bed...

Dah!! When I saw all of that empty space the first time, I selected all (option-a), but nothing showed up. Just after reading your post, I clicked below everything and tried to select, and then it showed up! Damn iframes! I might have to get a real browser & drop Safari for this game.

Thanks for the tip... i'll be able to sleep tonight :D

masraum 10-13-2005 04:49 AM

Aurel, the deathball file is a decoy, there's another file in there to download, but it's not listed in the source as a url like the deathball file. You're going to have to download a file and turn it into another kind of file "jay pack" (say it 3 times fast) to see the user and pass.

bryanthompson 10-13-2005 07:18 AM

this is driving me nuts

86 911 10-13-2005 06:59 PM

You guys are still playing this??? Go out and drive around or do something productive! ;)

masraum 10-14-2005 06:15 AM

hahah, I knew I'd get somebody hooked.

Somehow I don't think I got to the same place as everyone else. When I enter a logon & password from level 7, it takes me to a blank page that simply says "too new" and nothing else.

Is this correct?

[EDIT: I figured it out. I was typing in a word that was "too new". I searched google some more, and unfortunately the first page I opened was a spoiler site that had the answer.]

bryanthompson 10-15-2005 02:37 PM

I'm on 13... 12 was probably the coolest so far

masraum 10-15-2005 06:24 PM

21 has us hung up at work. The clues per puzzle get less and less from 10 on.
