Grr

Man, this one took me forever, but after I got it I felt so dumb. I saved the link for the mp3 and listened to it in Audacity, and then it took some thinking to imagine how they would make a 0 in phone beeps. Thanks AMindForeverVoyaging!

Breakthrough

OMG! :? :x :P Man, I feel so stupid. The part about VI really helped me. I downloaded a program (can't get too specific) and I used the source. If you still don't understand, look up vi. The problem is, I got what I think should be the right answer.... and it's not. Can anyone help? PM me. [Edit] Fi...

Follow The Logic

:? I can't seem to solve this problem. I've been in the source code dozens of times and I've run the math and keep getting the same answer - which I know is right. I think the part I'm not able to get past is the returning True or False. Please give me some hints, because I think I've tried everythi...

Stuck - but not on the math

OK, feel free to edit if you think I'm giving away the answer, but every time I do the math for Follow the Logic, I get 333. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I've done it in Python, by hand, and had a friend do it on his own, and we always get the same answer. Is there a subtlety I'm missing, ...

PM me or just post a better hint.

This is final hint you should need

For those who got as far as to reading my comment: characters 4 and 6 are the same, and characters 5, 10 and 11 are the same as well :) If even this does not help, then take a moment to switch to a cup of coffee :) Okay, this is an amazing hint. Look at the hint, and then look at the list of number...

Oh my goodness.... :D this took me a little while. At first I was looking up a bunch of texting lingo but that's not how you do it.

Hope the above hint helps. :wink:
