I know what the SSSSSSs are.

Think of what we've been working with. Got the general area of knowledge?

This is part of that general area - and it is an s-word as well, which some guy came up with.

That, plus the corridor clue should push you onto the right path.

Go with the already given advice, it applies here also:

if you wiki the history of zero - that will help

So far the word has eluded me, but its nice to know I'm thinking in the right area, thank you.

I skipped ahead (since one of my attempts at Section 1, level 4 gave me a way in). Completed Section 2. There is a typo on Section 2, Level 4: says Psium should be Pisum.

Reorganize the Ss. They make a specific pattern, or shape, if you break them up right. Think simple.

I only got this one because I JUST studied it in my history of mathematics class.

Yes, that's probably it, another case of waaaaay overthinking. Still no idea (but no one has hit me with the proverbial brick yet either), but you did make me revisit my thoughts in the areas of sine waves and serpentine curves.


And Section 3... bah riddles! My puzzling friends know how I feel about such hobbit foolishness. You all will need to start pelting me with bricks here I'm afraid, stuck at 3.2.

thanks for the help Aiobhan!

i'm still stuck - and feeling really dense. i've come to the end of the internet in terms of places to look (here's a tip: never google "Mr. Snake") - but i do have a giant list of math terms to input!

I'm there with you all. I think it should be "teeth", 'cause they break food down, we have 28 of them and if you didn't have any, that's the sound you'd make a lot.


Actually you *should* have 32 teeth...

Everyone has 28 normal teeth and most of us have additional vestigial teeth.
If I were Mexican Indian, it would be exceedingly odd if I had more than 28.

I've solved it up to the end of the third section, and am waiting for section four to go live. I can help/give hints if you'd like.
