Can someone help with 12? I'm trying to learn mahjong but there's so much stuff confusing me. All I know is that it is a winning hand [hu] and it's worth 88 points. I tried searching for that but I really don't know what's going on.

Any hints on 16? I have the puzzle 85% completed, and the 3 parts I have extra wont fit anywhere. Someone PM and let me know if I'm going in the right directions? ACE?

Edit: Got it. That was.. a weird looking letter :p

Assuming you know the right pattern, the third word will have that amount. The answer is an occupation and it begins with "B." There is only one word in the English language like it.

WTF, level 18 makes NO sense at all. The directions don't even follow each other.... :|

You can find the name of the hand by google (at least that's how I did it). Look for rules.

Mind giving me a clue on 27?

Which part?

I didn't know there were parts. The first part, I guess.

They're all rhymes. I can't figure out 27.6 though. I figured out the logos, but the obvious rhyme doesn't work. :(

How am I supposed to tell what I need to rhyme?

I don't remember which one that was, but look for something like "fatcat" or "funnybunny."

I'm on hold until someone else reaches 27.6. I've beat my head against the wall for too long....

Wow, I just got 12. I happened upon a site that had three 88 point hands and I tried them and it worked. Can you explain, via PM, how you got it "the right way"?

Which one is 18?

The simon says one.

Try to work it in one language, not mixed. In other words, convert everything to English ABCs.

...? It can go in so many directions. **-*, wtf does that mean? It could be 4 spots, or 3 spots. Then *** and **? Apparently it turns out to REFEREES, but that hasn't happened yet.

So, he says it's not a problem with his html code, but with my browser settings. I'm pretty sure i didn't miss anything in my browser settings and every other website I've ever been to with embedded audio works. Can someone help this poor dope? I feel I am missing vital clues without sound.

I've made it to level 18 with no sound. Are you beyond that point? If not, all puzzles are possible without sound up to now.
