 		Room 33 (this is a fun one!)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Woo, Star Wars comics under a strange keyboard, with some rather strange words written for the heroes!

Anakin: "Sir, what's the URL again?"
QuiGon: "STFU!!!"

There's a clue in the HTML: Be quiet+Anakin

Hmm..stfu = Shut the F*ck up. stfuanakin.htm leads nowhere.
But wait...there's another clue..."Press the ANY key"

Any key...Anakin? Look at the keyboard again...the letters are all wrong! So lets try and type stfuanakin on *their* keyboard.

STFU ANAKIN
KEWL DADKIA

Woo -- kewl makes sense, but dadkia? Well...kewldadkia.htm doesn't give us anything either. So let's try it in parts...
kewl.htm - "That's only the Half"

hmm...

Maybe the "Any Key" = Anakin was a hint to use something else for anakin? Anykey...Anakin?

ANY KEY
DAZ SEZ

lets try kewldaz.htm...Woo! something new!

"our keyboard is german, isn't it?"

Quick google search ... the Z=Y on a german keyboard...

 		Room 34:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

A cornfield, with some strange shadows over it. The Shell logo, and -82 next to it.

Clues:
Title - "He needed it to carry on"
Another interesting picture name - element32.htm
Element 32 = Germanium.

The image name leads me to think it has something to do with elements.
Element 82 = Lead.

lead.htm -> "You are so smart."

A ha! A piece, if not the whole answer. Remember, the shadow was "-82"...minus....how about, unleaded!

unleaded.htm -> "unleaded what?"

The shell logo gives us ... gas!

unleadedgas.htm -no
unleadedgasoline.htm - no
unleadedfuel.htm - YES!

 		Room 35:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

A rather plain picture of a zoomed in keyhole. There's some familiar-looking bits of info (for beekeepers, anyway) in the title and the login text.

Title: 28°23'46''N
Login: 81°34'42''W

Looking up those coordinates, it's some place in Florida. But there's more.

Bump up the contrast on the picture, and you'll see ".com" written in the keyhole. A clue....a website. Keyhole.com, makers of an interactive mapping program. There's a free 7-day demo you can download, so I would recommend doing so if for no other reason then to play around with it's cool GPS/World mapping features in full 3-d.

Using the keyhole.com software, put in the coordinates above and watch as the satellite images zoom in. What's that familiar logo you see?

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! Mickey Mouse!

ID: mickey PW: mouse

 		Room 36:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

A dark photograph with a red sky. Woo, eerie! Nothing to click on, so we're going to need to find a keyword to change the address to.

Clues:
Title: "Some are so limited"
Image link: <psd>img src="36tbh.jpg"</psd>

Those PSD tags aren't real HTML -- I think they indicate that the real image is a .PSD - photoshop file. So try http://deathball.net/notpron/nomeaning/36tbh.psd and download the new image file. Open it up, and check out the different layers. If you turn them all on, there's a freaky picture with the text "Anything here?" underneath, and there's some text "XCLUS" across his face. Maybe there's something we're not seeing?

Turn off all the layers except the ones with just text - now you see more -- "EXCLUSI"

You can try that in the url, but it doesn't give anything. So lets go over our hints again. "Some are so limited" could mean exclusive. Try that. Score!

 		Room 37:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

A picture of some text next to numbers:
13 - Mo
14 - Di
15 - Mi
16 - Do

and the title is numbers too: 080135

doing a search of "Mo Di Mi Do" comes up with a lot of German calendars. Maybe we're looking for a date? The title can be broken up as 08/01/35 .. something that happened on August 1st, xx35?

Looking over the "August 1st in history" pages nothing really jumps out at me. Then, in a moment of clarity, I remember that in Europe they write dates as "Day/Month/Year" which is different than here. So what happened on January 8th, 1935? Elvis Presley was born! Knowing the creator is a big music fan, this is too big a coinsidence.

http://deathball.net/notpron/nomeaning/elvis.htm gives a nice timetable of the King's life, and the link to #38.

 		Room 38:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

A sweet looking picture of a formula 1 car, with some techy line embellishments around it. But, look at the front fender -- are those, Wingdings?! Lets keep looking for clues...

The title: Trente-huit, translates to 38. No help there.

In the body of the HTML you'll find:
%67%72%65%79%2C%20%77%69%6C%64%20%6B%65%72%61%74%69%6E

Which translates to: "grey,wild,keratin." A quick google search defines Keratin as a protein found in the hair. An interesting lead.

The wingdings give us "Energy, Mass and Speed"

Energy, Mass and Speed are Physics Terms.
Grey, Wild and Keratin are terms that could describe Hair.

Wild Grey Hair, and Physics? Of course, it's Elementary!

 		These have all been somewhat difficult for me up until page 40..

Page 40:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the horizontal bar of the 4 there is something written. It's the word "help". help.htm


Page 41:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Background music sounds like -.-.-.-. Type in SOS.htm "sos has NOTHING to do with morse." Turn up the volume and you can hear that it's actually much more complex. Translation from morse code gives you "nextlevel"


Page 42:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A piece of piano music, with the page's header titled "Originally written by..." The numbers at the bottom 22 15 15 4 15 15 convert alphabetically to "Voodoo". On an ealier page there was a CD by "Big Bad Voodoo Daddy," and if you go to their website and check the discography, you'll find "All songs written by Scotty Morris." morris.htm returns "He has a first name too!" so the answer is scottymorris.htm


Page 43:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the source the image is listed as "43small.jpg" so try "43large.jpg" and you get a blown up image of the picture, with the words "size matters" printed very small near the bottom on the left side. sizematters.htm

 		I managed to get from L1-L78 after working all day on it...79 I've done some of the riddles but no answer yet.

For the new 38:

Hint:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Keep in mind the hint "MSN" and the 3 pictures you see up at the top. They are 3 things that are in order, you need #4 which comes next.


If that doesn't help you:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
look at the MSN emoticons


If you are still stumped:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
coffee is (c) the glass is (d) and the email is (e)..next comes (f) which is...


Answer:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
flower

 		I've just been going along for the ride, but for level 10 no matter how much I manipulate the sound I can't get any words to come out? Is it still a similiar riddle?

It says he was impatient, so that's why you speed it up.... and there's still the backwards theme...... so it seems like it would make sense, but it's just not working for me.
