 		Hey 0smodius nice work. But could you post short explinations with your answers? Some people like to know how you got there not just what the answer is. (like me with level 8Smile)

Level 9
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Decode the code in the source first with octal, then with hex, and finally in bianary. And you get,

strap

 		Please with the explanations! 6 and 8 are lost to me.

10, on the other hand.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Referring back to the two previous answers "minute" and "second," the logical answer is...

hour

 		Level 11

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The numbers at the top of the source refer to which letter you should take in each of the 10 previous answers. Rearrange these letters to get "harmonicas".


ETA: Explanation of 6
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The difference between this level and the others is that the word level is capitalized. Switzerland holds the clue...so the capital of Switzerland is...that should get you there.

Explanation of 8
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This one is a little weird. You need to make ST and RD into words that will have some other word logically in between. Luckily it was the first thing I thought of...first and third. In between would be second.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Select all text to see the clue diagonal. Starting from the bottom left you get "the password is chimneysweep".

Umm...eclipse.

Level 14
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Clue in source...Say no to negativity. So not unlucky, but...

Level 15
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Clue in source...x2 (times two). Use the current URL twice. luckylucky --> lucky_lucky

Level 16
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Tried so many things for this one. The king of basketball I thought was lebron james. Couldn't get to work so I tried jordan. It gave me a clue. Keep the first word...so, lucky_jordan.

 		Thanks Osmodius! Moving on...

Level 17
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Look at your keyboard number pad. What is the design? A spiral...so, sports_spiral.

Level 17B
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Smore anangrams into morse. Look at the numbers in the source. If they are together, that's a dash. If they are separated, those are dots. Translate the resulting code to get dust...so, sports_dust.

Level 18
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's 7:07...think digital...flip it...lol.

Level 19 progress
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
All the color references and the gold at the end...got to try sports_rainbow. Get a clue...yes, now what is in a rainbow. Try sports_color...get another clue...no, there's more to it...

 		Um, I appear to have done something a bit odd. Unless the puzzle is messing with me.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I took the number of times number 20 said "number", 4, and, because the source says "twice" made:

spring_44


But now it says I'm on number 24! Oops... Confused

[EDIT] OK, I admit it, the ability to count would probably benefit me. Embarassed But still, there's the answer to 23. Whatever 23 is...

answer
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
spring_nose

level 23
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
it's a picture of r2d2. the image name is r2+d2. the source tells us to use the info from level 4 to help. r is 18th letter. 18*2 = 36, d is 4th letter 4*2 = 8. 36+8 =44

answer
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
spring_44
