A few months ago I posted a link to the backward stapler site, if any of you remember it it was a challenging game where you had to solve riddles or answer questions to advance to the next page.
Here is another one, and I think it is a good one. It doesnt require the computer/hacking knowledge that the stapler required.
Me and a couple friends are on level 21 right now and I thought I would post this for everyone else to work on. They are really fun.
There is one page with what I would call a dirty trick on it. It has a math equation, but one of the digits cannot be seen unless you highlight the text. If you enter the wrong answer, it still advances you but onto a fake path with a deadend. I just think that was rather dastardly. Dont remember what level it was but it was fairly early.

Any website with loud, obnoxious music that can't be easily disabled can forget about me hanging around.

Does it have that? Sorry, wasnt aware of that. I play it while at work so I have my sound turned off.

Is anyone else finding this game terribly boring? I kind of gave up when there was no challenge to it.

"Besides Florida what other US state has an 'F' in it?" My brain near 'sploded trying to come up with "California". I mean, a second grader could solve these!

I got curious, so I'm playing this thing, too, and I'm also stuck at #21, Trapper. I assume you're having the same problem I am?

Bwahaha. Ok, I just passed #21, without any of the past mistakes (I hope). This is cooler than I originally thought -- you know, in a "this really ticks me off, so I'm gonna show it who's the boss" kind of way.
I was stuck at #25, but realized that #23 was too easy, so my answer must have been wrong, which it was, so I'm now on the correct (I hope) level 25.

By the time I went home from work Papa, we were on 25, with the TV set. One button takes us to 26, the other says dead end go back.
I'm pretty sure that the button that takes you to 26 is wrong. Got to 27, solving the screen with bugsbunny on it, but like i said, i think its wrong.

Yeah -- I think so, too, but I can't find anything else interesting about that TV. I tried zooming in on the screen, changing the monitor settings to look at each color individually, but I'm getting nothing. There's gotta be something there.

I think so too. And I actually know the answer, but I didnt get it through honest means. Was searching a bit and came across a forum with the answer to that level. So I want to figure out how to derive the answer before moving on.
Really tired this morning so havent started working on it yet. Maybe in an hour or so ill get back to it.
I don't think it takes anything like zooming or anything like that. Thats just not his style, and he says on the instruction page that he doesnt resort to "hacker" or programmer methods. The answer is there, just easy to overlook. Havent seen it myself yet. I think the two co-workers im with said screw it and moved on with the answer we found, so I may do the same eventually. If you want the answer, PM me.

Solved it all (futzed with the TV picture enough with a photo editor, and the clue is ridiculously faint, in addition to being in an unusual font that makes it even easier to miss). Started Mazito-2, but it appears that you need information from the wrong answer chains in addition to following the right answer chains. I'm getting tired. *smile*

Haha! Yeah, we finished 1 this morning Papa. (Even though we cheated on the TV pic) Im worn out from it, when I posted this here initially we had already worked a day on it. I'm taking a break from it for a couple days i think.
