 		Well I'm embarrassed but not too embarrassed to admit I still can't find an answer to #9.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I assumed that the symbol associated with Valentine's Day is a Heart but if Heart is on the bottom then I am stuck. I tried everything I could think of that goes with _______ Heart. I also tried cupid and rose and love. I don't want the answer just another hint please?

 		Hopefully this doesn't give too much away. You are on the right track.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It has to do more with the top and bottom _____ of the heart. Maybe there's another word in the image that you are missing?

I apologize in advance if this is indeed too much of a hint.

 		Finally got 9 (thanks for the tips) and now I'm on 10. Here's my thoughts thus far:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If we say that aspirin was Felix Hoffman's "baby", then his child's letters could be the chemical formula of aspirin, which according to Google is C9H8O4.

I also Googled the greek alphabet, and I can identify all the letters in the image except the one at the top right.

And I have no idea what the chemical formula of aspirin has to do with greek letters, especially since the letters involved don't match. At all.


Any hints/ideas/shots in the dark?

 		I was pumped to see 10 because I actually know something about the nature of the clue. Finally one I could do without help!

 		well like i said before find out who makes aspirin, the most wellknown ppl, and then with enough google searching u should be able to link the name with a type of chart that uses greek alphabet.

as for 11 i just solved that yesterday...so first tell me what u have and how long uve been stumped, it took me around 10 days and thats just cuz i suck at this encryption stuff.

You're getting bogged down in the details. In general what is going on in 6, and on what is it happening? Google all that (and remember, we're given pictures, so...).

PM for more if you want.

No. Addition is still too specific. And don't forget the medium.

 		You're on the right track.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Yes, they're the 7 wonders of the world. Now you need to answer the question in the title. Then google the answer to the question.


Now, about 10. Following akirator's advice, I've googled the crap out of
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Felix Hoffman
. I read a whole bunch of pages that all had pretty much the same info. I found nothing on those pages that had anything to do with
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
a chart using greek letters
. Any more hints?
