Okay. So you have to break a code, right? Look at the letters that are already there. T and A.

"t . . . . . t . . a . . . . . "

Start with the smallest word in the sentence for which you have a letter.

"t . ."

What sort of 3-letter words start with 't' ? Try putting in your letters and seeing what you come up with.

If you still need help ping me.

 		Q17 available.
Q16 with the senses really helped move me down in the ranks.
Crying or Very sad

Because not everyone get the same puzzle, it might help if you post the original sentence here, e.g. --e- -e- ----- --.
Have you already tried the hint button (it might give you additional letters - I have not used it myself)

Oh, you are on the demo levels. I guess they are always the same.

So Aiobhan's hint should really help. Which 3-letter word starting with the "t" have you selected?

 		I think there's a glitch in the system with that question. I started another account (9circles) and i'm sure the answer i've input is correct but it won't accept. It doesn't deduct me any IP's, but it won't move on to the next question - needs fixing.

 		Excuse the double post. Question 18 is up, it seems no-one has completed it yet.

First thoughts:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Perhaps something to do with ASCII? The picture i'm given contains $, ?, +, {, ^, }. In order these are Alt with 36, 63, 43, 123, 94, 125. These numbers don't seem to match up with the lengthy numbers i'm given at the bottom. More thought required methinks.

 		Q18
I dont' know if everyone gets the same question, so I'm showing mine.

I have no clue for this one.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I thought that 322 might be where to start, so I looked for 3rd line, 2nd word, 2nd letter, and started counting letters from there. Got gibberish, which could be another code.


EDIT: Ok, I have another login to answer questions after I screw up on the regular login. That login has the same diagram and sentence, but different numbers.

 		Yeah, this one's a real doozy. I got the same image and text, but here's the numbers section.

They are already capitalized in the original quote, which could be found here: http://theoutlineofscience.com/the-outline-of-science/v-the-ascent-of-man/retrospect-and-the-races-of-man/

Do not see any connection to our puzzle (,yet!)

 		I don't know how to paste images on here but my second line is identical to magnet0. The first line is

223 20252457553325 3348 194157172180

Slightly different, implying there's not a distinct relationship between the two lines. The plot thickens.
