Thanks I was thinking it way to complex 53

I hated 53. It took me longer than any of the previous ones.
It's like a treasure hunt or a gingerbread trail. One clue
suggests another which suggests another and so on. It's a
chain of clues rather than several clues hinting to one
answer.

You shouldn't have any problem with 54!

It's not obvious to me. I don't know where the quote is
from, is it important.

heh, I never even looked at the source for that one, so I
didn't know there was a quite there. It looks like something
from bash.org but I think it's irrelevent. I didn't need it
and I got this one right away.

Geek-ish. I'd have thought with an xlt-id like yours you'd
have got it instantly.

Well I was looking at the 1=B code all night last night and
the thing that is confusing me is the repetition of letters.
I was thinking that the 5x5 grid had something to do with
it.....

#1: You've got a number/letter code there.
#2: You've got a three-leaf clover.

What's a three-leaf clover represent?

I thought down that avanue but due to there being 2 C's and
that it was supposed to be a four leaf clover that is lucky,
I gave up on that one. I am still not getting it!

That's the right idea, but I guess the writer of the puzzle
couldn't find a four-leaf clover to represent lucky numbers.
Do a google for "lucky number theory" or similar.

A head scratcher, I have translated the "word" although
there seems to be a descrepency between R,St,Z but havn't
got much further. I,ve tried it upsidedown and looked for
the word/words in celtic dictionary and googled it. hmmm it
seemed obvious at first, but they usually do...

It's Ogam (or Ogham). So a swift google of that should help.
The resulting word isn't an English word.

I stumbled on the way to do 57 when I was looking for the
clue to another.......

I need to know how to decode the image for 58. I tried
googling but it just came up with lots of retail store
equipment.

Oh I've been looking for software. Boy have I been looking
for software. My program files folder has taken a severe
beating since I got to this level.
I *know* you're supposed to decode the hidden text in the
bitmap but the scope of software, encrption, methods and so
on is so large. I can't find anything to point me to which
software is the right one.

I still havn't found one, there is plenty of dead links! The
software I have found wants a password and I believe is
designed for the exchange of information rather than to find
hidden stuff.

Let me know if you find one that is effective...
