Math Rescue secret?
Ah, these were the days. Anyone remember or still have Math Rescue episode 1?
Level 12 is subtitled "Where's Milo?" and I have not been able to find anyone in the level at all, let alone someone named Milo. Strangely, at the end, it tells me that secret areas found is at 100%.
So is there something I'm missing? I would really like to find this secret if it exists. BTW google turns up nothing

The Viking II lander actually did land on a 'rock' on Mars.

Interesting. On the 3drealms Crystal Cave page, his name is spelled "Mylo" but in MR1 its' "Where's Milo?". At least now I know who to look for. Perhaps I should try Crystal Caves for any clue as to where this Mylo is.

This was one of the 'second generation' of DOS games I played (i.e. the second lot of games that were added to my 386 by my uncle, which included Keen 5). It has a strange flavour of nostalgia to it. I have a vague recollection of the Mi/ylo reference, and it's most likely just that, rather than alluding to something hidden in the level.
Is there a level editor for MR/WR? If so, you could just load up the level and search through it that way...

I remember playing Math Rescue and I think Word Rescue as well, but I don't think I've played either for quite a long time. As others have said, it's probably a reference to Crystal Caves. The different spelling is probably an mistake or an inconsistency, like how Duke Nukem is referred to as Duke Nukum in episode 2 of Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (If I remember that correctly, and also I vaguely remember there being some other reason, possibly copyright-related, for that alternate spelling).
Why don't you just ask/email the author of the game. According to her Apogee Legacy interview "she really values the emails she gets from players of her games. It gives her a real lift to know that folks appreciate what she created."

There is frequently a great deal of confusion over the correct spelling of one
of Apogee's most prized characters, Duke Nukem. The original spelling for the
name was "Duke Nukem"; however, during the code fix stage between v1.0 and
v2.0 of the original game, Apogee found a character overseas named "Duke
Nukem" that was thought to be copyrighted. So, for v2.0 of the original Duke
game, the name was changed to "Duke Nukum." Then, during the programming of
Duke II, it was discovered that the character they found overseas was not
copyrighted after all -- and so the original name was reinstated. "Duke
Nukem" is also the spelling used in all successive games that featured the
character.
The spellings "Duke Nuke 'em," "Duke Nuke'um," "Duke Nuke'm," "Duke Nuk'em"
and other variations are not, and were never, correct.

You do remember correctly. I have been playing Cosmo 2 and recently found the spelling to be "Nukum".like how Duke Nukem is referred to as Duke Nukum in episode 2 of Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (If I remember that correctly, and also I vaguely remember there being some other reason, possibly copyright-related, for that alternate spelling).
Perhaps I will email her there. I am kinda' dissapointed that there is no Mylo tho--those Math Rescue levels have a lot of secret passages and such.
