Well... After going nutzo and realzing we messed up in a big way we asked for assistance (last 3 words) and figured it out on the first try.

We did the same thing. We wern't counting the title as the first line so we were all messed up. Once we got help then we knew exactly what it was. We wasted wayyyyyy too much time on this one. We should have taken the penalty about 30 mins earlier.

It didn't even occur to me to count the title!

Yeah, I got caught by that too. But the directions specifically said something like, "Count all text that is not part of a logo."

Thats because there are a great many of us over on MP whining about it.
We of course slaved over it, and didnt get squat... and never once thought to count the titles.
What a pip.
we went to each station twice... our last quest of the day... yeah... that was ugly.
But, I have never said I liked the evil paragraphs.

We thought the title might count after re-reading the instuctions about 90 times but never actually worked it that way to see if that was the problem. Duh.

Yes, the written instructions really helped with the not-so-evil paragraphs. We forgot to include the title at first, but quickly recovered due to following the written instructions to the letter.

Which is why such things as "any duplicate items on the list" really bug. Precision in wording is very important in MouseAdventure, imho.

Ah, the difference between 32nd and 29th place is at stake, after all! (OMG, our suckiest score EVER! But we had a blast!)

I loved the evil paragraphs...

"the "first 40 percent" of a geographic location was my favorite

Heheh, my personal favorite instructive description was "pick the one that resonates with ..." - - which was MouseAdventurespeak for "has barely anything to do with."

Oh yeah, I was wondering how people did on that one. That was surprisingly non-literal.
