Wow.. I'm amazed at how quickly AK got through the last of the negatives and the greeks.

He was stumped on -40 a week ago. lol

Congrats Ak. :)

haha jenn i'm about as surprised as you are... considering he and i were on the same level at the same time and i've been stuck on beta for two days now while he brings the total up to ten. Truly an impressive feat Ak, I hope someday we'll see a Xi or Omicron.. *crosses fingers*

He didn't "cheat" per say.. but he did skip some levels by using some sort of program (I didn't understand his explanation..) and it's not how I would have wanted to complete notpron- for me it wasn't about getting to the end.. it was about completing the levels (Does that make sense? lol)
For him it was obviously about "beating notpron" *shrugs*

i fully understand, i was given a similar explanation... i assume more brief than yours, but yeah... i dunno, personal preference. to be honest I think I would be beyond ecstatic to simply reach any of the higher level Greeks as their reputations are so difficult and often mysterious.


aaaaaaand... back to Beta.

Well you know how to reach me if you need any help. :)

Solving the levels (even if you do get really really frustrated) is so much more fun than brute forcing your way through.

Well let`s say it was not an aim to beat it as fast as possible at first. I just found out sime strange things while i was waiting on
-33 for my account. It was more than a week. So i studyed i explained what. Then i noted that what i found have nothing to do with what i saw before. But as soon as certain level popped up - here was that. I got lucky to "skip" or "solve" some of the hardest levels before. And about program well it doesn`t help you solve anything it just lets you store your links. It does not reveals any hidden pages or something - it just makes visible all you got. Helpful tool if u search for something. I personally love tools. And ofc this explanation is vague enough for you to never find out this software if you don`t really know what it does :)

YOu can call it "luck" or "pre-solving" or "flow" well.

I got really good time solving riddles. And i can name my favorites. But i more like logic and bruteforcing than abstract thinking. That why i solved level Mu before i solved -34 and -34 before i saw actual pic. Pure bruteforce with just a good screwdriver. It makes it easyer, but it wont work for others if they think different.

The last 3 or 4 people solved the thing at the first attempt. Some little inaccuracies everytime, but the main 2 objects were always named first.

AgentBreschnew, you aren't Emma (who says she's not signed up on the forums) by any chance? Because there was no-one else (except Ak) solving it in the last few weeks.
