Yeh, that's the one that stumped me for a bit. The hint points you in the right direction, but it's not those numbers you need to change. Try swopping some numbers around (hint: the numbers are low, bigger hint:one of them is in the code you need to decipher) Wink

 		Level 13
Level 13 is up and running. I was hoping the next update would contain a few more puzzles, not just 1. Oh well.

I know
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
5 is the 3rd Prime Number

 		So I finally got my e-mail days later and I can't get past #4(Sahara desert)! I think it's a trick question but I can't figure it out. This totally sucks. There aren't any hints either. Ugh. I feel stupid now.

Make sure to include a period at the end of your sentence.

 		All right, 14's got me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
On a shelf you see 15 books.
Each book is 6 cm thick, the pages being 5.5 cm thick and each cover is 0.25 cm thick.
A bookworm starts eating its way from the first page of volume 1 and stops at the last page of the last volume.

How many cm did the BookWorm travel?


My thoughts:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Barring any tricks like "Where is volume 1?"or counting wild-guess negligible distances or taking into account that he doesn't eat a straight line, you have 15 books, each 6cm, which gives you a total run of 90cm. The bookworm doesn't eat the first cover (starts at the first page) and doesn't eat the final cover (ends at the last page), so subtract .25cm for each, leaving 89.5cm. Everything else is eaten, so that's your answer.


Apparently I'm wrong.

 		I love things like this. A hint:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You need to think about how books are set out on a shelf. Most people would have them reading volume 1 through 15 from left to right. However if you lay these books down with all covers facing up, volume 15 is on the top with volume 1 on the bottom.


The answer:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
None of the pages of volumes 1 and 15 are being eaten, and nor is the outside cover of each volume. This totals 11.5cm of uneaten pages/covers. Since we established the grand total of all the pages/covers is 90cm, that leaves 78.5cm travelled by the bookworm.
