I'm up to sixteen. How long does it go? The two minutes invested so far doesn't feel worth it.

Ok, done. Though most of the last several were just Google flexing.

I'm just not a hacker

carp! I got to 13 before resorting to google....and one of my very best friends downright ZOOOOMED through it! (admittedly with only two googles)

/sigh

I can no longer consider myself a geek. the bad part being I dont understand why Im sad about that.

(great puzzle btw. that was fun)

I googled 15 (don't know that language), 17 (same reason), 18 (because that is why God created reference sources, as my high school chemistry teacher said when telling us not to memorize that stuff), 20 (becaues they use a spelling different than I learned), 21 (actually, I just made a quick spreadsheet that did the math).

I'm stuck at 17. I either should not be using latin or I'm doing something else wrong. This is the first time I had to use Google, though.

I'm stuck on 17 as well. It won't accept the Latin for seventeen (septemdecim).

Not Afraid · 10-25-2006, 06:15 PM

Yeah, same problem here. I tried 3 different way - with accent over the "e" and as "septemdec_im" (as written on one web site) and none worked.
