Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think the clue lies in his phrase of being the only one owning a VB and the first line: Paint = O. My hunch is that is some visual basic software, with a programming code involving Paint = O, Land 2 = 2:30, Pik 2= 3:50 and the other 7 letter word to equal 3:30. Once we narrow down the programming code, we can either use the 7 letter word as the clue, or use whatever it is the cumulative code produces on the screen. I don't know much about VB codes, so I am still searching... any computer gurus out there that think this might be the way to go?

I typed in the sequence directly into google. Without having to go into the link, (and I think it pops up as the first or second item) you will see the sequence- enter the fourth word after the sequence. Be sure to put quotes around the sequence of words when you google. To make sure you are on the right track, think of the structure of "how a bunch of ants live together".

**EDIT** After you have read that potential spoiler, consider this too:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Perhaps our illustrious puzzle maker is referencing a "Virtual Boy", a Nintendo Virtual Game Boy- and the sequence of items refers to technical components of a game.

The answer to Level 61 was from a Virtual Boy game which is why he mentioned VB. However, he does sometimes stick to themes so this new one may refer to a Nintendo game somewhere. I was thinking Mario Paint, Super Mario Land 2...

Yep got it! Look at the above spoiler and find a common occurrence in them...

In a way, he's back to 'songs'

Luther...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I am seeing the common occurrence in theme, but your blip about 'songs' is throwing me off a bit... I have looked at the list of games, but still am at a lost.

F62

Think about those two famous Italian plumbers by Nintendo... add on luther's hint... and guess away...

F63

Same theme guys... what is canus lupus familiaris? Who is Harriet? Who is Tom?

F64

Same deal as 63 but try combining a genus and species together once you figure out what Pey'j is.

F65

Ash, Misty, Brock, electric rat... (haha... that's too much of a giveaway)

 		Wow
I figured out 62 by reading a little french (literally)
a little bit of guessing.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's a secret song that appears in a couple of nintendo games. You need to find one of those games where the song is 3:30 mins long

 		I'm working on 63. I'm sure everyone zipped right passed this one. Razz

Am I right in thinking...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
that Canis lupus familiaris the scientific word for dog? Wouldn't the answer be the scientific word for cat? I've tried all I could find but still haven't found the answer.

No you need to find out what Tom is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
