[QUOTE=myskepticsight]  
I found that the image name is

pessimist, and that he talks about it being half full, but i’ve tried every combination of words and I still don’t know the answer

I’m not good at these things at all.  
[/QUOTE]

the answer: (well, a hint)

right, so the name of the image is not the person who would say 'half full"…

if that doesn’t help (big hint)

you have to find the answer. it’s not on this page

[QUOTE=anyrose]  
i DID that! many times! I thought I spelled it correctly  
it’s spelled o p t i m i s t, isn’t it?  
[/QUOTE]

Yes! but you’re trying to put it for your answer, right? I did that too for the longest time. Then someone told me I needed to correct the name of the photo instead first. Give it a try. 🙂 Do it in your address bar

[QUOTE=Idle Thoughts]  
You’re on the right track…

Here’s another hint. You need to correct the photo first. Try replacing the photo name with what he means

[/QUOTE]

ok - i tried changing the file name and adding the folder name and got

the same photo but upsidedown, and possibly reversed, with the letters RAWR. WTF is that?😕 :mad: ☹

[QUOTE=Idle Thoughts]

I just passed level 17 and am laughing…it was incredibly simple (like most of these seem to be) but just so cleverly hidden.  
[/QUOTE]

Alright - I don’t get this one.

Hints for 17, please.

That’s the answer. go back and put RAWR in the html format.

It tries to trick you into thinking the highlighted one is the one you want (but can’t really read the name of). It’s not. This is another one where it helps if you’ve written down all the past answers. That way you can see which ones are really past answers and really aren’t.

Not really.

If you look at the top of the page at the title you’ll see it’s different.  
The last one was “what’s in a name?”. This one reads “level 15?”.

You’re looking at level 15. Heh. (they’re like a pair)

There were two that said level 14. One was really level 14 and one said level 14 but the title bar reads “Level 15?”.

To get passed that one you must have

inserted the “rawr” name into the new photo and found the new word

There’s 1 level you’ve already completed and one that you haven’t. The one that you haven’t completed is the one that’s the answer (not the 1 that you have completed).

actually it didn’t - it just had the file name, but whatever. Now I’m stuck on 16 and I think I need sleep. I was going to get a whole buncha stuff done when I got home from work tonight and instead I spent it weff-ing. :shrug: maybe the answer will come to me in a dream

Got to 17 now.

Sixteen is cheap too

Big spoiler ahead, at your own risk! not the answer really though. It was permitted on the other boards (which are heavily edited for spoilers). It might not help everyone, but as soon as I read it, I got it.

the dashes!
