Notpron (V2)

I'd like to give this another go and see those interested in playing this game are willing to help each other out and get to the ending together.

What is Notpron?
For those who have never heard of it; Notpron is a huge digital puzzle/riddle game which is claimed to be the hardest on the internet. To solve each level you will need logic, time and the ability to think out of the box. There are no rules as to how you get to the next level, as long as you get there. If you think you found some clever way of getting around a level and into the next one, chances are that you simply found the solution.

How many levels are there?
There are currently 142 levels to beat. They are divided in 82 positive levels (1 - 82), 45 negative levels (0 - minus 45), 14 greek levels (Alpha - Nu) and the final level (< /notpron >).

Why would I hurt my brain on this?
Next to some braintraining and a good deal of fun in doing it together with friends, you also get a certificate if you manage to beat every single level without cheating, for what it's worth.

What about the walkthroughs I see on the net?
The puzzles and passwords of certain levels are changed regularly to prevent any walkthrough being accurate for long. There are cheating traps which you can fall into if you enter a previous password to get to a new level. These traps log your data. If you are caught cheating at Notpron you will not receive the certificate.


Playing the game
For those who want to participate, say so in this topic and I'll add you to the list below. As long as you're trying to beat the game, keep us updated on your progress as I'll update that as well.

Now, before you start posting away with hints and solutions please read some rules and tips about Notpron.

1. Do NOT post solutions!!!
Please do NOT post direct solutions to Notpron levels. You take the fun out of someone elses game if you do. Posting hints is allowed but don't make it so incredibly obvious. For example, if a certain level is playing a piece of music which holds the key to the next level, don't go posting the title and artist. Give subtle hints which give people the means to progress without having the puzzle solved for them.

2. Avoiding Spoilers in Google
To avoid spoilers and solutions to Notpron levels while you're looking on Google for answers, add this to the search bar:

:
-notpron -"not pr0n" -level -spoiler -riddle -password
Make sure you include the - signs. This way it will exclude any website giving information about passwords and stuff.

3. Source Code
Many of the Notpron levels have hints or valuable information hidden away in the page source code. You can get to this source code by finding an option called 'View Source'. You'll find it under the view menu in most browsers.

4. Save Level Status
To save your progress in Notpron just bookmark the pages and write down the usernames and passwords in a notepad file or something.

5. Browsers
It should not really matter which browser you use, but the riddles were originally designed for Internet Explorer. Should you run into any problems with sound not playing or something else, see if a different browser fixes what you assume is a problem.

For more information you can go here and to the attached forum.

Players

Anonyman! - Level 11

Bullet Magnet - Level 10

Havoc - Level 20

Killy - Level 8

Moxco. Executive - Level 6

Nemo - Level 5

Salamander - Level 6

Well that about covers it. Now go have a look at Notpron and good luck! And try to help each other out without giving away vital information .

Oh man, I remember having a go at that back in the day. I also remember giving up on it. It's minutes of fun until you decide to either kill yourself or go look at porn.

I think that's where I got up to last time also. This time I got to level 4; worked out how to come up with the password but was too lazy to interpret it.

Stuck at level 6... I remember playing this several years ago, but I got tired of it. I like these kind of games though, so I'm going to give this another go.

The level with the guitar (lvl 8) has the words Jay Pack, which is the most valuable hint in this level. Try saying it out loud and you'll have the first half of your answer.

Once you figured that out you need something to apply it to. Look for something related to your first hint above and if you can't find what you're looking for, maybe you should force it.

Level 7: No password box in that level. Check the source and take a second look at stuff which might seem random at first.

Level 4: Since this level has a sort of 'you won't ever figure this out if you don't already know it' style here's a vital piece of information: Morse

Level 6: Check the bottom of the page and check the page source. Use Google to your advantage.

More legal hints are given on the official forum here:

Ok, Level 8 is near impossible. Havoc, I've found out some of it, but I dunno what I need to do now.

PM might work better.

There is no password box. The solution to level 7 is something different. Find the answer that to the question asked at the bottom of the source code. Also mind the hint near the top of the source about Germany. When you find the answer, enter it where it's being asked in the right way.

Yes, yes, I've already worked that out, but I think I'm being screwed. When I start a new game, I don't even have to put in passwords any more. I just click on the picture and I'm immediately taken to the next page.

I'm on level 4 at the moment. I've got the username and the password, but it's not being accepted at the moment. I'll try again later.

Moxco: Level 5 is easy when you know what do to, just like any other riddle.
