Geez, [this is just insane](http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/365143) on so many levels. There is absolutely no way for anyone to ace this right off the bat, but no big deal. I only spent, what, maybe three, four hours today on this damn thing. But hey, I made it up to level 84. Wish I had a clue if I was anywhere near finished with the damn thing or not. For the record, I thought #17, #19 and #76 were quite clever, and #40 was flat-out brilliant. ---

[This link](http://www.dabontv.com/game382cheats.html) has the answers. There are 110 levels, but don’t use up any of your “skips”. You will need them at the end. ---

I got sent this a couple of months ago, and it pretty much took a whole day of mounting frustration and rage until I finally finished it. I needed to look at the answer for one question, for the sake of my sanity. ---

Can’t get past #59 either - and there doesn’t seem to be any other way around it. Oh well. A lot of them don’t make sense, but anyone know the reasoning behind “What follows Dec 2nd?” (I think it’s #11). ---

I used a different method for 40 than the one given in **Struan** ’s link. ETA re “December 2nd”, I guess “n” is the second letter after December. A lot of the others, I don’t understand. ---

I agree. What kind of a question is “neigh whinny?” It’s obvious the doodle is a horse, but there’s no indication what kind of answer is sought. Every question is like the last page of a murder mystery where the detective exposes the murderer by revealing all of the clues that the author was too timid to reveal to the reader.
