 		Continuing the spoiler for puzzle 3:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Well...what does it look like? Squares of course


Hint for level 4:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The size of the boxes are indicative of letters of the alphabet


Answer for level 4:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Because the 2nd square is 12 pixels long and the first is 1 pixel long, they should be different by 11 letters. The third character should be the same as the 2nd and the last should be 2 characters shorter than the previous two. If you run through the possibilities, the word has to be doom.


Hint for level 5:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The image is 26 pixels high


Answer for level 5:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you count the pixels each red portion extends down, this length represents a letter of the alphabet like level 4. the answer becomes meatloaf.

 		Hint for #6:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What you see is what you get. But you're seeing it over and over and over...


Answer for #6:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The image is only 4 lines high, and the word TRIP is spelled out with 24's in among the 42's.


Observations on #7:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The image is 5 bands, all 30px across. Their hex color values are ff0000 ff9900 990099 000000 ff0000.

umm do you mean the actual mathematical forumals?
if so:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
+/- (81 - x^2 )^(1/2)
or plus minus root (81 - x squared)

 		The equation of a circle is:

x^2 + y^2 = r^2
where r is the radius
so in this case it would be:
x^2 + y^2 = 81
