Maybe you wanted an explanation more than the actual sequence? It's a code frequently used in Konami's games (older ones mainly), which gives the player some kind of bonus, be it; a handful extra lives, x amount of continues etc. etc.

I just wanted the code, which you provided flawlessly.
Hint:
The name denim is a misspelling of a foreign sentence meaning 'from ..... '. I won't give you the city the textile is from, nor the foreign language, since they're dead give-aways.

1c) Minotaur! That is why they are known as the Minoan Crete.
And then Theseus came along and fucked up that beast. But he was not without help since Icarus's father(i'm not quite nerdy enough to know his name) gave him a clew. Then Icrarus and his father were thrown in jail, where he created wings and they flew away. But when you fly to close to the sun the wax holding the wings together melt and you fall into the sea.

Yep, that's what happened.
Correct answer, but Icarus had nothing to do with Theseus. It was Ariadne, King Minos' daughter, who gave the the clew.
Brilliant minds indeed. Well, apart from Aristotle who discarded the heliocentric solar system (sun in the centre) in favour of the geocentric one (earth in the centre). That led to the entire debacle of Copernicus et all in the Middle Ages.

Ok, I'll try to think of some questions now. I've been a bit occupied lately but I'll probably think of some new stuff.
Sorry for those that have been waiting for updates. Don't forget that you can send questions yourself. You even get 2 points for it!
