I just can’t seem to get level 32. I think I know what I should be doing but I just can’t figure out the right way to do it. I’ve tried so many combinations and it seems like it should be really easy, so maybe I’m overthinking it.

But frankly, I don’t feel like I’m thinking much at all.

It’s a nasty one, pun intended. Looks like dots and dashes, hmmm? That’s part one, that takes you to part two, that has a LOT to do with part one.

Thanks. I got to the poem and just had no idea what to do with it, except that something needed translating. I tried to translate the title and the words a million times. My brain finally made a whirring sound and I figured out which part needed translating. Wasn’t what I thought at all.

I tried that too, first.

Instead, try visiting each of those pages again and looking at the letters for the answers

[/QUOTE]

Are there any other hints you can give about this one? I am so confused! 30 shouldn’t be hard (according to others who have gotten it) but it is so difficult for me!

27 was tough, because the WR boards kept saying it was just like 25, but it’s not. It’s really more like the 14/15/16 combo or, more accurately, a cross betweem 25 and the combo  
I got 28 and 29 on my own. Are there any clues on 30 as to how to launch batch 2?

I looked at the letters too. I’m getting

TSEN in order for 30 or STEN in order of the puzzles

I’m thinking that there must be more to it since that doesn’t spell anything no matter how you arrange them.

Can someone help with 30? I remember the answers for all of them except the whyismyspacebarbrokennow one. And I don’t think I can even start to solve it without that.

</div>

For 30, first an obtuse hint:

If you’ve gone back to puzzles 5-8, you’re on the right track. Rather than looking at where you are, however, you need to look at how you got there. Go back, go back!

Then, a less obtuse hint:

You’ve got “TSEN,” right? But that’s not working. You want the letters that answered the puzzles that LED you to those puzzles, rather than those puzzles. Got it? The answer is a recognizable word.

I’m on 45. I expect to be here a while.

You typed that wrong. Go back and look at what it really is and you’ll remember the answer to that one.

Apparently, Batch 2, level 31 requires some hints to my comprades …I bailed on level 5 but they are continuing on. Anyone got a discreet hint I can give them?

This is the one with the clock, right? You have seen something very similar before. You need to use the first one to help you solve the second one. There is something different on the page. I don’t care what time it is… find what is really different on the page.

Now can someone give me a hint for 45 the first.

Also, I just want you guys to know how much I hate the fact (and love the fact) that ya’ll pointed me to this website. I have been dreaming riddles. I wore dirty clothes to work today because I haven’t done my laundry. I haven’t done any appreciable work in the last 2 days. I sat at my computer last night with my legs crossed because I had to pee so bad for an hour… the bathroom is 10ft away. Curses!

Am I the only one that’s making 24 way harder than it needs to be? I’ve got the basic principle of what needs to be done, but the answers that I’m coming up with aren’t correct…

I figured it out, but

what the hell is that noise? Is there more than just sound? I’m not getting a picture. I don’t expect to since it is an MP3 file, but that noise means nothing to me
