Okay, now I'm sitting here alone by the computer laughing hysterically because I'm jumping around in this cave like a kangaroo! I finally just rammed into a wall I guess I didn't see and down I went, rolling around like a bug on its back! LOL Phew, least I was able to get back up from that.

Cathie, thanks for the info on where the book was located. I'm not too coordinated on the run-jump stuff and was using the up arrow key instead of the shift key at first to jump so just kept falling thru the wide jump area, lol. Finally reread instructions and tried using the shift key with the l arrow key to run, haha and after a few tries made the jump.... and got it finished. Thanks everyone for the clues and instructions. Sometimes the old gray matter doesn't work so well anymore!

Yes, my little man definitely had a serious concussion by the time I finished! Thanks for all the tips on here for the challenge. I also found this link that is extremely helpful in case anyone is still trying it and having any troubles: http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?s=1ec6f4f5a50fe66544aa3631038f1509&showtopic=636817

I am running and running and can't seem to jump that large hole. But I did discover that you don't have to drop down and jump up for small holes, just hit the space bar.

Sadiesmom. I had to try that jump quite a few times before I made it. I made the mistake of running and hitting the up arrow key instead of the space key for quite a few times and just ended up jumping straight up and falling thru the wide hole, lol. Finally figured out it was the space key I wasn't hitting and when I tried it after a few tries I made it by hanging on with hands so then just climbed up and made it on over and got the book. Keep trying and you'll make it! Just make sure you have gone and gotten the chain first and pulled the lever beforehand. Good luck on getting it soon. After you have the book go back to the globe and click on the lat. and long. on the globe. Then when in PA "use" the chain which will attach to the truck and pull the big drums forward. Then go in the building, open the desk drawer and get the puzzle piece.

Lurk ... You have to take a running leap. You run by pressing the shift key. You may crash and burn a few more times, but you'll get the hang of it. Kind of like tossing that ring at the keys hanging on a peg while in jail a few challenges ago.

I was about to hug you Yvtig (since I opened a new browser and voted BUT didn't finish the level and I want to since there isn't as long after tonights show to complete it I guess). Anyway on my puter if you hit shift more than 5 times it goes to sticky keys. Someone at NBC said after awhile they got an offer to use one of the passports (i have both) but I haven't sigh

I've printed out, folded and cut the paper from the fireplace. How do I decipher that to get the final combination?

Well, yeah, that's how I got there too, but it doesn't say how they figured it out. It's bothering me, not understanding that section. And now they've gone and made me do almost origami! Origami lasts far longer than my patience usually, but tonight I know I folded and cut properly, I just can't figure out what the final combination is from my resultant star. Any help there?

I'm still amazingly frustrated at trying to decode my star for the code. I've started at the sun and worked my way down, but nothing opens...

RE: Figuring out it's Mexico City... (from another board, I only wish I was this smart!) If you search on gold doubloon using your laptop, the very first item shows you a picture of the doubloon that you found and tells you that the "om" on it means it was probably minted in Mexico City. I went back and checked my doubloon, and it also has an "om" on it. If you tell the helicopter you want to go to Mexico City, it will take you there!
