    Don't feel bad for using the hints. If you read M's intro, he says quite specifically that his intention is NOT to stump people -- because if it were, he would! Then, next to no one would be able to solve the problems.

    The hints are there so normal people -- those of us who aren't hardcore about this sort of thing can do it too.

    Currently I'm working on the musical notes problem in the archives... I haven't figured it out yet and I DON'T want to use the clues on that one.

    I only needed 2 hints on that one, or rather, the second hint.

    Although I can understand the explainations, I can't see the answer from the original puzzles.

    I had no problem translating either the letters as number or the morse code - once I realised it was morse code, but solving the problems just didn't happen for me.

    "Life is hard---------it is even harder if you are stupid."
    'nuff said there.

    I did manage the "Old McDonald" one without any hints, but then I tried the music one and bombed even with all 3 hints.

    Then I gave up.
