Ok, there's this cool puzzle-game thing which requires lateral thinking and really anything goes to getting to the next level [apart, of course, from searching for spoilers].
Basically all you've got is a web page with a picture or two; you can view the source, guess at addresses, look for clues in the pictures, and you're encouraged to use google (although with -notpron to avoid spoilers). The solutions are usually really clever and you feel quite satisfied with yourself when you work them out.
The site is here:
deathball.net/notpron/
I started it late last year, pushed on to level 12 over several days (the levels become really hard really quickly), and got kind of stuck, and mostly forgot about it. Well, recently I had another try and I worked it out! Now I'm trying hard on the next level. w00tness to me.
Anyway, I suggest you all have a go and see if you get anywhere- any spoilers will be removed without warning (well, this is the warning
), and hints are in danger of suffering the same fate. But I'll be quite happy if you say "WHOA I REALLY LIKED THE SOLUTION TO LEVEL x... Can't wait till you guys figure it out".
I think these levels are all doable, and spoilers really wreck the fun. If you're stuck, DO NOT give in to temptation; just come back to the level later and eventually you'll get it. That's what I say anyway.
