[dazzlechild]

For 2,

did you read the question carefully? Make sure you're answering the question EXACTLY...

[fallenangel42]

[destinyuk]

I've made sure I removed all the letters,including

the a

[dazzlechild]

Did you get an egg, destinyuk?

Way to go, fallenangel! Maybe you can figure out 12!

[destinyuk]

whats an egg?

would that be the page that said <<DELETED>>

[fallenangel42]

thanks dazzlechild
still working on 12 - have given up trying to get 12 using the internet and have gone back to good old-fashioned pen and paper.....i'm on my fourth sheet of A4 and no real progress...

[dazzlechild]

Destiny: Yup! Do what it says!

Fallenangel: I just keep seeing the word buttonhole!

[destinyuk]

Thanks. I just have to remember what I did when I got that lol.

Got it!!! Thanks very much!!

[fallenangel42]

lol i keep getting that one as well. or tortoises. fairly sure they don't have much to do with democracy. you can get

true, or truth

which sounds a bit more likely.

I was also on the butt(on)hole for a long time

Hint for 12:

There are two keywords in the quote which are similar. Both start with "b" and have double "l" in it. Not ball or balloon...

I can give further hints...

[fallenangel42]

thanks calista - that narrows it down a lot!

edit: omg i got it!!!!! thank you calista u saved me the struggle of throwing my pc out the window

[destinyuk]

I'm stuck on 5 now

I've looked at the lines as mentioned in a previous post but don't seem to see a pattern

[calista]

Great you got it! It was a hard one...needed help myself...

Save the pc save the world... Off to watch hereos now

and good luck for the rest!

@destinyuk:

look at each colour separately

hmm on 12 although i have the relevant quote it doesnt seem to accept it (or its author) as an answer

edit: nvm - i had inadvertantly found 2 slightly different versions

[destinyuk]

Thanks but I think that was 4

5 is the one with the missing letters from the alphabet
