Level 165

[Amlak]

Ok, I know not to select a couple of options that take you to the wrong level. But then what? I tried tracing the cursor around that twirly thing, but didn't yield anything.

[Wesley]

I am going to suggest that you play around with this one. It is more fun than the last one.

[Amlak]

Nothing. I guess I've hit my limit of cruising through the levels with ease.

[Wesley]

This one is full of misdirection. Maybe even some mister direction. I am sure you are doing fine.

[Amlak]

Sorry, Zot, but still don't get it. Do I need to use Paint for this?

[bella]

Not at this point. Try the usual though.

[Amlak]

I'm not sure what else to do? Both Back and Forward options lead me to the same purple screen which I'm supposed to avoid. The Play option does the same thing. Zoom in? Nothing. So I have no idea what I'm overlooking.

[bella]

Maybe you need a password? Just try out some you remember.

[Amlak]

Thanks, Bella, but how would one have known to do just that?

I'd rather solve the problem step by step, but I need a good hint as to what the next step is. By good hint, I mean, a hint that will logically lead me to know what to do next. Vague or teasing hints don't seem to be helping me at this point.

[bella]

The beginning is a bit random but the rest is fun. You need to try different things here, sometimes the menu works, sometimes a password is required. Usually a hint is on the screen.

[Guest]

Ok, I put in the right password. I'm not sure why it worked but it did. What was the hint on the screen that gets one to think about that password?

[Amlak]

That guest was me, by the way. Also, what do you mean by the rest? I already passed Level 166 and now at Level 167 ...

[Wesley]

keep going! You can do it!

[bella]

How does your level 167 look?

[Amlak]

I don't remember. Last time I played was couple of days ago. Will get to answering this when I resume. Are you suggesting these last few levels I'm at are not the "true" ones?

[bella]

Might be.

I'm now coming back to this game after a few years now, and I've passed this level using the hints in this topic, but it's also really bothering me why that's the password. Is there a hint in the level to get me to try to do that or is just trying certain passwords supposed to be on the list of things to do when you're stumped? Like running things in paint and using the menu, etc.

[ransomeninja]

So, thanks to the hints from these posts, I got the correct password, but I'm curious to know if there are any hints in the level to make you get the answer or if I'm just supposed to add those kind of guesses to my list of things to do on each level when I'm stumped. If there is a hint in this level that I missed, could anyone point me in the right direction to finding it? Thanks for the help
