I can see the wrong answers people enter, which is enlightening and fun. One thing it has enlightened me about today (besides the fact that some people just unlock a puzzle and start typing in the very first thing they think of as fast as they can) is that the policy on names being answers isn't clear. I'll add it to the FAQ, but for the moment, know this:
If a puzzle's answer is somebody's name, you can usually enter either their first or last name, but failing that, the last name will always be correct (unless you're thinking of the wrong person!). Sometimes I don't allow the first name because it's too generic and people might just ramble off common names. Shoving their names together, like "brucecampbell", will never be correct. As a rule, none of the answers to any puzzles are 'shovedtogether' like that. It's always one word or a number.
(Oh, I just noticed there is one puzzle that accepts a shoved together name, sorry! I may change that)
