You heard me. Not pron.

http://www.notpron.com to be exact. I like it, personally. It's quite possibly the hardest puzzle I've ever seen and has such a vast range of subjects in the various stages that I am confident that this is the best puzzle online and in the history of puzzles, which is not very incredible because puzzles don't exactly shake the foundations of society (save that sudoku crap).

Give it a try. I'm in the 60's right now, and I'm willing to give hints if you want. As for anyone else who think's they're just so damn cool and will post the answers without any hints at all, I salute you. You've just proven yourself to have the intellect and maturity of a toddler with a computer for doing that.

I got to like level 12 and then I realized that I was actually going through the trouble of converting freaking media files to figure out a goddamned riddle. so I decided to stop doing notpron.

I'm on level 9 right now, and this is really fun! Took me a hella-long time to get past 8, and now I'm feeling unlucky about 9, but it's really too late to attempt it now. Great stuff here, 10 points.

Ah, 12. That was a fun level. I remember me and some friends stared at that for a minute, just thinking...I recognised the bottom portion of the code and knew exactly what to do. I just kept changing it until I heard something that MIGHT be human, then I was like..."Why don't we try backwards?" So we tried. We went ballistic. Great times.

Stuck on level 7. Ive figured out the URL says "name it backwards" but im not sure what it wants me to name. I'm guessing the picture, but I've tried every way of saying wrapper that I know of.

Remember, this guy is German. Anything past telling you that would be plain unfair.

I've been stuck on the one with the left/right image (with the items on the desk) for ages. I look back on it ocassionally, but never get any farther ;P

Even after those hints it still took me another hour. Guessing every single candy bar I could think of, and there german variations...

Well, visibly it looks like a twix bar, but when I tried that, it said "Too new" or something, so I looked at the wikipedia article and saw Twix was originally named "raider".

I couldn't figure out what candy bar it was, that was the problem.. I'm at 13 now, completly stumped there.

I'm just plain stumped at 11. I know, it's probably easy. But I think how easily some of these puzzles are depends on how you approach problems. Many are computer-related, but 8 took me forever because I didn't think that "Jay Pack" sounded ANYTHING like you-probably-know-what.
So any advice on 11?

In firefox, look at the title...Then right click the pic and say "View Picture"...Then read the url box and remember your level number. Then remember the title if you still dont get it.


And Sage? 13...Fuck that one. That'll just drive you insane.

User : devil
Pass: hell

I took a week to get the rationalizing on that one...It's fucking crazy, so don't even bother.
