Is there any luck involved with getting from 27 to 28?
Edit: solved it all. Everybody, try to keep things simple and not go down a massive rabbit hole like I did.

Definitely 27 is the hardest in 26-29 block. 28-29 are the easiest levels in the game (max 1min). 27 is very similar to one of the first levels

I'm stuck in 29 for three days, I've tried many things already but none of them seem to work and I ran out of ideas. Anyone has any tips?
Edit: Nvm, i got it some days ago.

Ok, I'm stuck on this level since days, and I feel I have tried all the silly/simple ideas (obviously I haven't though). I'll try ricky's technique and not ask for help, but just posting here will hopefully make me find the answer :-D

Totally lost about the actual solution to 27, but came here to show off that I found where the photo was taken:
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7864147 ... 312!8i6656 during Iraq war protests in 2003. After reading the comments it seems it's not a part of the solution...

No, the actual place is irrelevant. But I doubt the protestors were carrying
those signs

Wow! That is amazing that you found that. It looks like the only surviving business was the bakery. You can tell that Comp USA is gone. Thanks for sharing. How did you know where to look?

Actually, the bakery is not there anymore either! I linked to the oldest available photo in Google Street (from 2009). The bakery disappeared somewhere between May and November 2013. If I linked a
current photo it would be harder to believe it's the same place
I started by looking at the exif of the photo, which told me that it was made on 16.02.2003, which made it clear that it's the Iraq war protest. There was a lot of those happening in the US (and in the rest of the world) at the time, so no luck going that direction.
However, CompUSA suggests its in the US, and in the flower shop you see a blurred phone number... while the ending of the number is not super clear, it's relatively visible that the area code is 415... so San Francisco. Now, I went to search for CompUSA in SF, which, while closed, still had a yelp page with the address.

Wow! That is impressive detective work! I would have never guessed the 415 area code. I though that the image was some march in Germany. You should be writing these puzzles and not solving them.

Hi, can please I PM someone for a hint on 27? I haven't managed to link what is happening in 27 with the hints on the forum and I've been stuck a week now. I have a few ideas but obviously not on the right track.
