    This achievement is quite simple, and doesn't actually require an in depth collectable guide. By bringing up your map with the cn_X button, the game will display any minds you haven't scanned as a question mark on the map. Once you've scanned the mind, it will then display as an oval on the map. Using this you can go through a level while frequently checking the map to make sure you don't miss any minds.

    If you do miss any, you can use the chapter select feature from the main menu to revisit the levels you need. The chapter select screen also displays how many minds you have and need for each level, making it easy to keep track of what you still need to collect.

    EDIT - Thanks to UnsungGhost for pointing this out. You can exit a level as soon as you've collected any minds you've missed and they'll still be counted. Completing the level isn't necessary.

    UnsungGhostJust a heads up. If you do miss some and replay a level, you can exit out as soon as you scan them.

    Bully of SmegIs it just me but when I select a chapter it shows everyone as question marks again so I can't tell which ones I have and haven't done?!?

    The solutions above are great, but I got stuck at 31/32 minds on Chapter 9 and couldn't figure out what I missed. As soon as the level starts, make sure that you read 3 minds before removing the first sticker on the pipe: the two guys on the left and Ray's mind, as the tentacle is NEXT to Ray, but isn't attached.

    Multip1eSarcasmNice pointer HiCultureBandit... I was missing that one. It might be worth mentioning that a couple of the others I was missing were in fact the goons / nurses that try and capture you. They don't appear as question marks :)

    When going through each level try to complete each "?" on the map before completing the level.

    If you replay a level the previously completed question marks will revert back so keeping track of minds you missed will be difficult. For example I had 16/18 on chapter 3 so I played the level again and all the pink ovals were question marks again. So I played through again ensuring all question marks were solved.

    Lastly not all question marks need to be solved on some levels, for example on the final chapter I still had about 3 question marks remaining by the end and still got the 16/16 minds read.

    Failure OnlineOn the final chapter the question marks above the robots don't go away since you can move the antenna sticker around
