The World's Most Difficult Online Riddle

collinbxyz said:
I'm on level 11, and my brother (I told him about this, because of this thread) is like a level or two ahead of me, and I overheard part of the answer, but I am having trouble. Please help, but not too many hints!

Look at the level number you are on. Then look at the source code and you should see something that doesn't look right. Something "ahead of its time".

Just got to level twenty. No hints in the source code, and tons of random letters and symbols. This'll be fun. Got a question in the spoiler, if anyone's gotten through this level.
I understand some of the symbols are wingdings, but can someone give me a TINY (not a really big) hint on what the other symbols/numbers could mean? The lead/pb hint makes me think some of it could be related to the periodic table (like atomic mass and atomic #), but it just doesn't seem like if fits in with the whole "Windows theme."

Don't overthink this level. Seriously.

Wow...I feel stupid now. Looking back on it though, that level was really cool.
Not entirely sure where the two "l"'s in "really" came from though.
By the way, if anyone needs help (and isn't further than me in the game), feel free to pm me. You could just ask on the tread too, but all the spoilers might start to get a little bothersome.

*cough* level 12 hint *cough*
 
By the way, iEnjoyCubing, if you've gotten past level 21 yet, I could use a hint.
I notice the image is titled "white," but that's all. I have no idea where to start.
If we could get enough cubers playing this, and we all got really far on it, we could probably figure out some of the REALLY hard levels together. No riddle can withstand the combined powers of cubers.

Yeah, I have. I'm on level 25. By the way, level 21 is pretty difficult.

There are colors listed. Change the URL. You need some sort of Photoshop/Paint program for this. At the end, you need to get a username/password.

Woah, just tried changing the url from "twentyone" to "twentytwo." Do NOT do that, by the way. I've sort of got two ideas for this level, but I'm really lazy, so I don't feel like trying either of them unless you say I'm going in the right direction.
Idea #1: Ok, so the source code mentions a maze. So would the maze be sort of like a url kind of maze? Like, I would change the url to something to get a mini-clue, sort of like that level with the whole twix/raider thing?
Idea #2: Does the maze involve going from point 1 to point 2 on the picture by using the colors somehow?

Ok, so I'm going to post 2 spoilers here. The first one is another small hint, and the second one is more of a direct hint. If you don't want a big hint, then don't look at the second spoiler. I will say however, if you still can't get it after the first hint, then definitely look at the second. This is only the first step in solving the level.

You not only changing the URL, you are also changing the extension.

More direct:

Use the colors and ".jpg" in the URL.

Alright, I got it, and didn't even have to use the second spoiler :)
There should be nine of them, right? I think I got them all
I haven't gotten to level 22 yet, but when I do, I'll try to figure it out by myself, with no hints.

Did you get the whole level or just the 9 images?

Nope :P

Haven't been on it all day, and won't be on for all of this week. Indiana is next Saturday so I'm practicing hardcore.

Unless you're practicing every moment of every day, I don't see how that would prevent you from playing a bit of notpron, but I guess that's up to you.

I'm determined to beat this game. I don't care how long it takes (probably a while, seeing as I'm getting through about one level a day), and that's probably exactly what the other 15.5 million people who've attempted it said as well, but I'm going to beat it.
