I haven't given myself as much of a head start this time as I did in the past. Started maybe 45 minutes ago and am on the sixth level so far.

It is super fun though, you really feel like youre a genius when you figure one of em out. Figure I may not touch it again until after the 4th.

I cant figure out how to start it [Frown]

Posted by Strider (Member # 1807) on :

ha...i had the same problem at first. You'll figure it out.

Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

I swear I have the right answer but its not working

shouldnt the answer url be

www.simplecodeworks.com/covert/02-answer

?

I wanted to post my actual answer but I didnt want to spoil it for anybody, why isnt this working?

Posted by vonk (Member # 9027) on :

I'm right there with you BB. I know the answer to the equation, but that apparently isn't the answer they're looking for.

I shouldn't even start these things. They just drive me crazy. I got the equation one right away but don't have the slightest clue to number two

Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :

I have very little tolerance for games that ask you for an answer, but then don't want that answer.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

Same here.

Posted by Nato (Member # 1448) on :

agreed. [Razz]

Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

ok I know this is posting a spoiler and you can post a big spoiler warning but can somebody who has supposedly found the answer to lvl 2 please post it?

Here is my guess inside the url format they requested, SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG!

*SPOILER* *ANSWER OH MAN DONT LOOK ANY LOWER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Annoying. And I'm going to spoil it, because it's just wrong. There's hidden text on the page. Select all, or view source, and you'll see it.

Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

On the main page or the actual page with the equation? Strange I looked through the source before posting and I do not see the text.

Posted by starLisa (Member # 8384) on :

There's a numeral before the 87

Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

I am so mad right now, thanks anyway Lisa

UTTER GARBAGE!!!!

Posted by vonk (Member # 9027) on :

Oh now that is just annoying.

Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :

Wow, that's stupid. Here's another "hard" brain-teaser.

"How many years was Nixon in office?"

Oh, I was talking about my dog, who I named Nixon, not the President, so the answer is 0. [Roll Eyes]

I got that one, but I couldn't get the next level. What am I supposed to do with a blank box?

Posted by TrapperKeeper (Member # 7680) on :

Every level after the first requires you to take the image(s) into paint.

I'm a little bit stuck on 9-10 right now. And frankly, for those of you who looked at the first level and figured this whole thing was either too dumb, or not fair, you didn't give it a chance or didn't read the directions on the first page. It is a challenge, and if you thought it would be as easy as simply doing an arithmatic problem, well, sorry.

You really feel like a detective when you figure one of these out.

Posted by TrapperKeeper (Member # 7680) on :

And for heaven's sake, dont post the answers here like that. If someone wants to be given the answer, PM someone whos past it, but don't spoil it for everyone who reads the thread and decides they might want to try this.
