I don't see what sort of satisfaction you get by claiming you are smart enough to beat the first level. Without a solution or even proof anywhere of there being a solution, I can't help but think there are terrible people in this world who try to gain respect from anonymous people who play games by lying about an accomplishment. I'm just frustrated because I did spend a lot of time on the puzzle and I was ready to hear the logical solution that I had overlooked until common sense prevailed and my time wasted on this puzzle was in vain.
GetSpent, you make it seem like "IQ" stands for "Gullibility Quotient". There is no evidence to suggest that there are levels outside of the first other than a fake menu animation and I'm having trouble contemplating any rational solution to the "puzzle". There is a clear and apparent paradox with every clue that you sputter that makes this game more like tracing a straight line with points all over the place. Your site gives off the impression that you enjoy your crude flash creations (try /forums) and get some sort of satisfaction by reading the yelps of frustration of the people on this site. Prove me wrong and post a solution that is rational and does require some farfetched intellect that I obviously don't posses. But if my guess is right, you've just rigged together some animation and sound work to make people believe that they are playing a fully fledged game. I doubt the buttons even have actions assigned to them.
