I found this really challenging puzzle. Check it out...
http://deathball.net/notpron/notpron.htm
I'm at the 6th screen.
The object of the game is to get through all 138 levels. According to the site, only 0.0011% of the people who play the game finish the game.

I had to cheat to get past Look in the Dark (4?). Then on the next one (5?), even after reading the cheat, I still didn't understand it. So I gave up.

Do you mean cheat as in spoilers on the web? Or do you mean looking at the hints on the forums?
If you mean the hints, that's not considered cheating, according to the site.
I'm really stuck on the 6th screen right now. I'm not sure I'll ever solve it! I think I've gotten all the info from the page, but I just can't put it all together!

I mean cheat using the spoilers. I already tried the hints and was still stumped. That game is really hard!

Yeah, I know!
I'm racking my brain over puzzle #6!! Aaahhh! :-)
I feel like I have all the clues...argh, I feel like I'm so close!
Yikes, I can't believe I spent like 30 mins just staring at the source code for that page!
Brain trying to put info together...trying, trying...failing LOL

Apparently the site encourages teamwork. ;-)
I'm going insane! I can't solve level 6!
I want to do it without spoilers.

Then I realized what a potential time-suck this game was and quit playing.Yeah, I'm going to have to limit the time I spend on this game. Maybe half an hour a day...
I think I'll get tired of it soon.

Oh yeah, that's the one I didn't understand, even *after* looking up the spoiler. The spoiler solution worked, BTW.

Eeek, I used a spoiler too for level 6. I didn't understand the spoiler either!
Then after a few minutes I figured it out. I was VERY close to solving the thing. It turns out that I was waaay *overthinking* things!
I figured out level 7 myself
Now on level 8

Please explain level 6 to me. There were some numbers for ASCII codes somewhere, I thought they were supposed to be in the HTML code, but I couldn't find them.
