I also wanted to post a quick note that if you think there is an error in a puzzle, use the "MessageBox" option on the left column and send a message regarding the mistake. I've written to them a couple times and they are very cooperative. Be sure to be polite. Kie-yeo's Q24 definitely has an error. And it looks like AUZ's Q26 has one, too.

AUZ505,
I don't think that there is an error. That's the same table that I received. There are two 1's in the map. I think that row 11 refers to the second 1.

Q27 and Q28 are available. I'm still working on the relationship to the images in Q27 but I have a small problem.

All of the images I have are valid except for one. I have an image of a triangle with sides of length 0.25, 0.25, 0.50. These are not valid measurements for a triangle.

Yeh, i've spotted that too. My other shapes are all valid (a big blue circle, a small light green square, and a big red rectangle). I've worked out the relevant areas.

And dang it, they are colored. An isosoles triangle has 2 equal sides doesn't it?

EDIT...just thought about it....the sides equal the length of the other side. duh for me.

Ad, your letter stream is identical to mine, but the shapes are quite different. You even have a 3d one Confused

I'd like to help with the colours but i too am colour blind Sad

Q28 is fierce. Penalty for incorrect guess, 1 IP. Value if correct, 0.9 IP. So if you guess wrong the first time, you are losing points.

My wife looked at the colors and this is her report:
green, red, dark green, red, light green, green, maroon, blue, blue, red.

for the colored letters, green P, red A, and blue L.

Are we looking to replace the shapes with letters on Q27? This one is quite brutal. Not looking forward to number 28.
