A few caveats Web based version saves all the answers (correct and incorrect) as well as the complete notebook CD version only saves correct answers and limits size of text box responses and notebook Both versions do not check the answers in the text boxes – this is up to the instructor. We have tested both versions on many different PCs and Macs. If you have technical problems, please let us know.

We’d love to hear from you! Suggestions you or your students have that will help us to improve the mysteries Ideas you have for new mysteries. We will be developing three more during Payments are available for testers and/or co-developers!
