the instructions have shifted the two 'L's from look and like - if you put them back (so to speak) you are left with 'what does water look like'. Water is h20 so if you draw an O (oxygen) in the top box and 2 H's (hydrogen) in the bottom boxes you drawn what water looks like.

mine = the explosive kind of mine. Then to make the leap from there to Minesweeper. It's a stretch.

you need to include the axes.

I couldn't get it either at first. I thought the solution it gives us comes from trying to spread 1-6 through the cross without reusing a number (only four possible ways to do it, one is right), but I just realized that you're supposed to place the numbers the way they'd be on a die (if you folded the cross into a cube).

It took me a while, but I realized that you're not supposed to put the lines ON the grid, but around it, so that the same-color lines link up and show where the ends of chains in the grid are supposed to be.

You count the number of letters in the hint phrase. (you = 3)

shouldn't "Earth" be "Mars"?

Look at the Pattern to the right, it changes all the time. If you put the patterns next to each other, it reads "ALL BLUE!".

the non-1 numbers on Medium 4.

There's no mistakes in the instructions. Take them literally.

Each square displays an addition of terms when moused over. Some terms are numbers, others colors. The center is "1 + 1" but it can only be 1 or 0, and that's what throws me off.

Each "clue" refers to a specific square. Monday is the first square, Helium is the second, and so forth. But I can't interpret the clues.

The grid rotates 90 degrees with every click. I have no idea where to start pressing, or how to interpret the clues with the rotation!

Each square can only be 2/3/4. The number of squares in each row equals the number of letters in the color of the preceding letter; for example, the first row has an orange "A" and five letters (O-R-A-N-G-E). But where do the numbers come in?

It's an unfolded die. Opposite sides of a die add up to 7.

It's not numerical addition, modulo or otherwise. It's straight color mixing. Thus 1+1=1, 3+3=3, and 7+7=7.

As I mentioned previously, the key is the colors spelled out. Look at each color word, then the letter in the position indicated by the number (for example, the "3" and orange A mean the third letter in "orange". Those letters will spell something.

The color of the clues matters.

Locating the correct starting square is important...it is:

(2,2) on the grid in its original orientation.

This is a two stage puzzle, and the first level has nothing to do with clicking.

In the first stage, the color of the letters on the left, the number of squares in the rows, and the numbers on the right all work together.

Notice something about the number of squares vis-a-vis the color of the letters?

Now, suppose you wrote out those colors, one letter into each box -- what might the number at the right of each color indicate?

Take the letter of each color specified by the number at the end of the row. Put the letters together, and that will tell you what you *actually* need to do in the second stage in terms of clicking on the boxes.

"ALL RED" -- so turn all the boxes red.

Interpret the instructions as applied to the original orientation...i.e., "up" rotates as the grid rotates.

I've tried setting each square to the color of the clue that refers to it (for example, when it said "Neptune is blue" in red text, I made the eighth square red), but no dice.

1. Monday
2. Helium
3. Three
4. Earth (why? who knows)
5. E
6. Six
7. Seven
8. Neptune
9. September

Add the color of the clue to the color specified IN the clue. However, if the clue says that a particular item is NOT a color, ignore the color stated and just use the color OF the clue itself.

1. Monday - the first day of the week by European calendars, or just the first day of the work week.
2. Helium - its atomic number.
3. Three - straightforward.
4. Earth (why? who knows) - perhaps because it has "four corners"?
5. E - the fifth letter of the alphabet.
6. Six - straightforward.
7. Seven - straightforward.
8. Neptune - the eighth planet of our solar system.
9. September - the ninth month of the year.

At the bottom, click the boxes in the left column to determine their highest rank. The boxes to their right get moved into either that corresponding place or the value closest to it. From top to bottom, those values are

The numbers 0 and 9 at the ends of the long row indicate that the boxes will count from 0 to 9, thus the box to the immediate right of the 0 will be 0, or unclicked, and the box to the immediate left of the 9 will be 9. So from the columns at the bottom, the box to the right of the 1-box (third one down) goes in the first blank space, the box to the right of the 4-box (second one down) goes in the second blank space, the box to the right of the 7-box (first one) ... well, you get the idea. Just arrange them from lowest to highest in the available blank spots.

You need to fill in the missing boxes in the sequence from 0-9; the movable boxes below fill in those numbers (1, 2, 7 and 8).

Which movable box goes where? Well, that depends on the box to the left of each movable box (hope you didn't start moving them around already). Only one box to the left of a movable box can be made an "8," so put the corresponding movable box in the "8" position. Only one box to the left can be made a 7, so the corresponding box goes there. Only one remaining box to the left can be a 2, so the corresponding box goes there, and the last goes in the 1 position.

Once properly placed, the movable boxes become clickable. Just click on the boxes in the row so they are in order from 0 (unclicked) to 9.

Does the layout of the keys, er, boxes mean anything to you?

You need to mentally overlay the three grids at the bottom and add the numbers where they appear in a same box, then make the corresponding boxes display the resulting number.

That's the numbers on the RIGHT, of course.

apparently they revised the look of the screens at some point, and when they did, they got the key under the help grid backward. Not that it's hard to try both the pattern and its opposite ...

figuring out how to make things clearer by moving the panel that's obscuring what you need to see (Medium-4)

It helps if you trace out the route on graph paper, and then figure out where that path can fit on the grid.

The only place the path fits is if you start at (2, 2) in the grid's original orientation.

Write out the color of each letter in the boxes on the respective row.

From the word you just wrote, take the letter corresponding to the number at the end of the row -- so if you just wrote "orange," and the number is "3," you'd take letter "a."

Do that for all rows, and you get "ALL RED."

The solution is to turn all the boxes red.

The jumble at the bottom is an anagram.

Find the unscrambled word in an Easy-level clue.

Note the number of boxes on Hard-7 equals the letters in the unscrambled word.

Note the color/letter associations from the Easy clue, then put those colors in the boxes in Hard-7 -- BUT in the jumbled order that you see on Hard-7.

The instructions that appear below each box when you scroll over are directions for drawing the number that goes into that box.

It helps a great deal that, like other boxes in the game, not every box can be set to every number. Some can only be 1, some can only be 2-4, some can only be 1, 8 or 9, and some can be 2-7.

A box that can be set to 2-7 will never be a 2, 3 or 4, because if a square is a 2, 3 or 4, the puzzle uses a box that only goes up to 4.

Similarly, all of the 1's in the puzzle will be in boxes that can ONLY be set to 1, meaning that all of the 1/8/9 boxes will either be 8 or 9.

Accordingly:

If a box can be set to 2-7, it must be a 5, 6 or 7.

If a box can be set to 1, 8 or 9, it must be 8 or 9.

If a box can be set to 2-4, it must (of course) be 2, 3 or 4.

If a box can only be set to 1, it's a 1.

This is another keyboard puzzle. If the boxes were keys on your keyboard oriented around the letters T, H, I and N, what letters would go in those boxes? What two colors can you spell with those letters?

I found the starting point by tracing out the whole path on a scrap of paper and then comparing that path to the grid. There's only one place the path as a whole can go that fits.

The path starts at (2, 2).

Sudoku is super evil?

square root of 4 sign

I got the numbers all seven

The lines have to be assembled so the flat ends contact the edge of the grid. The yellow one is arranged along the left side, the blue runs down the middle between the top and bottom of the grid, and the red is arranged along the right.

If it helps, the weird right-angled yellow line goes in the lower left corner of the grid.

You need to make sure you're plotting points in the right place. Notice anything about the boxes on the bottom row and left column when you click them?

The bottom row and left column are the axes. Make sure they're labeled properly, and then plot above them.

In other words, set squares 1-9 in the bottom row to 0 (unclicked) through 8. In the first column, set the squares from 0 to 8 from bottom to top.

Then, plot points above the axes. In other words, point (2, 2) is in fact at (3,3) on the grid as a whole.

If the first word related to the first box, how might you decide which number/color to make that box?

Count the letters in the first word, put that number in the first box, and so on.

When you are putting the numbers in one throught 9, the first box is supposed to be a ZERO(OR NOTHING) And the Last box should be a nine.

Seven words, seven boxes...maybe each word tells you which number to put into each box?

The enemy's gate is down, right? "Up turns with you" means that up is always defined as where the top of the numbers point, yes? Thus right, left, and down are all relative to up? I'm following all this oh so very carefully, but I invariably end up positioned over a hole with nothing to press, and I assume holes count as spaces when moving in a given direction. In the spirit of experimentation, I've tried every interpretation, and then I once again try as I said above. Something always goes wrong.

Sudoku is my favorite!

there's one spot where you move twice without clicking?

1/Earth is NOT the fourth planet of the solar system, but do as if !
2/addition(or substraction) and multiplication(or division) are NOT distributive, so doing one before the other doesn t give the same result. Well, forget that : you ll have to make a choice in the order, but sometimes you ll have to make the other choice : too bad and happy tries !

How in the world, in any rotation of the coordinate system, do you get from <2,2> to <4,5> based on the given instructions? It says, "Press Up Right Press ..." so starting at <2,2>, I click, go up one, right one (for a certain definition of "up" and "right"), click, etc. I admit I hadn't yet considered that the first box that gets clicked, <2,2>, remains <2,2>, but going "up" and "right" from there would put us at <3,4> (using an unchanging coordinate system).

helium is box #1 (helium = 'sun') and monday is box #2 ('sunday' is the first day of the week on most calendars). earth is actually the 4th 'object' in our solar system if you count the sun as #1.

I went the wrong way around the loop.

Start at (2, 2)
"Up, Right" to (3, 4)
"Right" to (3, 4)
"Up" to (3, 4)
"Up" to (4, 5)
"Left" to (5, 4)
"Left" to (5, 2)
"Down" to (3, 2)
"Down" to (2, 3)
"Left" to (3, 6)

Try taking the alphabet and assigning each a number value, i.e. a=1, b=2, etc. Now spell words that way.

There's no error at all with the math one. Just apply your standard order of operations. I do agree, however, that "Earth" really should be "Mars."

The numbers for each column and each row show which numbers should be entered into that column/row. So if the row numbers said "5 7 3 5 7," you'd just enter 5, 7, 3, 5, 7 across the row.

But it looks like there aren't enough numbers to fill each square in a row or column individually. And what can you do if the numbers for a row tell you to enter a number higher than 9? And what do you do if it tells you to enter an "8" and the squares don't go up to 8?

Maybe two or more squares next to one another can add up to another number?

So to get 14, say, maybe you could enter an 8 and a 6 next to one another. But a little experimentation shows that doesn't work. Hmm.

Maybe there needs to be some other connection between numbers you're trying to use additively.

Only the same numbers put next to one another add up. Thus, two 7's in a row next to one another add up to 14.

But note that each 7 will still be a 7 for the column that it's in -- unless there's another 7 in the column above or below it.

This gets tricky when you're told to enter numbers with lots of factors like a 12 (three 4's, four 3's, or two 6's?) or an 8 (two 4's, four 2's, or one 8?), which is why you need to work between columns and rows to see what fits.

What color is the square off to the left? It's red. R is the 18th letter of the alphabet, E is the 5th letter, and D is the 4th.

Now click the square under the 2/red until it's a color that, when spelled out, will fit the line to its right.

Spell out that color the same way the first one was.

Repeat this process for the remaining two.

This one involves some physical pen-and-paper sketching.

Mouse over the first square. It says "step step." So place pen (or pencil) to paper, go one unit in a direction, then go another unit in that same direction.

If need be, rotate the paper by 90 degree increments until what you drew resembles a number. Now click the square until it reads the number you drew.

Repeat this process for the rest of the squares.

Depending on where you start drawing, in the end you may need to rotate and/or mirror image. Keep in mind, though, that left and right are relative. Pretend you're following driving directions.

1 = gray
2 = red
3 = yellow
4 = blue
5 = orange
6 = purple
7 = green

You may want to note this down somewhere for quick and easy reference.
