Level 10
Look at the picture, you need to change the a.... into w.... in the same language! If you don't know what language it is, i suggest you use google.
sporter
09-07-2008, 03:37 PM
I used google and babelfish and character translators. I changed a.... to the results from my above efforts. I've changed just the a...., but then tried the jpg, .txt, .htm stuff as well. blah!
This one has everyone stumped. I'll now google "mindreading" and see if that helps.
dogluver11594
09-07-2008, 04:13 PM
i feel thick, but which language is the text that we are supposed to translate in?
sporter
09-07-2008, 04:36 PM
Well, I thought Greek. But nothing I try is working
greis
09-07-2008, 05:59 PM

Ok, *****hangs head in shame***** I can't get 17 either.
Am I on the right track withflags?. Was thinking Olympic flag, because it has all the colours listed?
For 14:
Imagine the grid as a crossword grid, use the letters from the source.

Trixiex
09-18-2008, 04:57 PM
Heya, try editing your posts instead of multiple posting, just click the 'edit' button in the bottom right hand corner of the post.
For 16
remember what word you had to translate before, think of the opposite of that, and translate again
kingreu
09-18-2008, 05:01 PM

stuck on 15. If I need a keypad to solve this, then I can't progress further as I am on a laptop. Tried cp keypad (sms) conversion but only get gibberish

i love when you have the answer and it wont work.
level 2?
the correct answer wont work though, how are we supposed to enter it? no caps? no dashes?

your clue makes no sense billesan. removing all punctuation still wont work as the answer.
your told in the rules letters only and all lower case but trying that wont work?
