Notpron (also not pr0n) is an online puzzle which was launched in July 2004 by David Münnich of Saarbrücken, Germany. The puzzle has a linear format, requiring players to solve each level in turn before progressing to the next. Many of these levels require a high level of attention and imagination to find the correct solutions.
To date, [b]Notpron has had nearly 15 million visitors, but only 23 of them have been able to solve all 140 levels.[/b] This could be because the final level, "Level Nu," requires the player to use the controversial technique of remote viewing in order to find the answer. While this technique is fake, the truth stands that the level has indeed been completed by over a dozen people. The answer to Level Nu has also been changed by its creator each time it is beaten, making it impossible for someone who has completed the level to give away the answer to another person. Before the last level (Level Nu) was added in August 2008, the riddle had been solved by 168 people.
Initially, the puzzle consisted of 5 levels. During the year came an addition of about 2 to 3 new levels each week. In July 2005, the developer ceased extending the game. The number of levels totaled 139 at that point. One additional level was released in late August 2008, reaching the current total of 140 levels. In May 2006, Münnich produced a certificate for those who have completely solved the riddle. [b]This certificate acknowledges one's knowledge of audio and image editing, HTML development, computers, musical understanding, persistence, and logic skills.[/b]
The game can present problems to some browsers such as Opera and Safari, as sound and graphics may be interpreted only in part. Therefore, the use of Microsoft's Internet Explorer is recommended. For higher levels, additional programs such as audio and graphics software may also be required. It is possible to solve the entire riddle using only free software, although to get to the final set of levels a donation of one euro or equivalent is required.

The game is a bit outdated, but still completely solvable.
How far can you get?

Same. I'm not sure where the logic is.
Nevermind, found it.
I'm at 5

Bam, worked it out, feel like a genius!
Just got to level 6, bit stuck.
Stuck on level 6. I think I know how to get the answer, but I'm not sure so I must've gone wrong someplace.
Can't see any other logical solution, but it won't accept the answer.
There is a better one that has a French name and was originally in French
[QUOTE=bootv2;29671032]want a hint?[/QUOTE]
Nah, I've gotten to level 7 now. And gone to a page that lead nowhere, then back to 7.
And I know quite a few hints about level 7 now. Still not sure about anything.
Something about "One Two" (in any order), someting about twix and backwards. Fuck.
I tried this a few years ago, gave up after I spent about 2 hours on level 25/26
stuck at 2
On 13 right now. I remember that once I accidentally found a wrong password which lead me to a very high level.
What the hell do you do on level 3?

I gave up at -3
Yes, minus three.
I remember when this was huge on Gamefaqs. Collectively they got very far.
Level 4, stuck. I quit.
EDIT: Wait, I think I've got it

Stuck on level 4. Feel like an idiot.

I think I got it now...
I got to level 9 and just got bored stiff by that point. I somehow doubt I would make it through the rest of the test.
Level 3, gave up.
Fuck. This. Shit. Level 5.
level 10, mus3.mp3 makes no sense to me, Windows 7 doesn't have sndrec32.exe, and I can't get SoundRecorder.exe to use the "what u hear" input.
A friend and I worked on it for a bit, got to level 16 and quit for a bit. Because level 16 is bullshit.

Switch it to your audio driver. Doesn't have to be what u hear. You can even use fraps if you want.
What the hell does "go the the other site" mean?
Got level 5.
Got to 7 in the last 10 mins, going to bed.
I remember doing something similar ages and ages ago, but i can't remember the name.
Got to level 7. I kind of surprised myself by not cheating. :v:
Got to level 6, I might try to get further tomorrow..
