Want to give me a clue on 17? I got to here pretty easily, but I can't figure out how to get from what's given to the answer to get to 18.

~Atrophied

EDIT: ok, got to 18 now *forehead slap* but how do you get to 19? it's redirecting too fast for me to stop it and I can't find the 'no redirect' thing in firefox (if it even has such a feature)

Use the wonderful "view-source:" URL scheme, so:

Code:
view-source:http://www.website.net/thing


That'll get it for you.

I'd have to agree, although I did get it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
#13 is a tricky one ...

Everyone else:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
#13 isn't unlucky for everyone


To Aenerin:
I'm now stuck on twenty.. image name must mean something, but I'm not sure what yet.

Lack of vowels is the obvious one, but my answer's not working.

It's not vowels that's missing (y isn't a vowel), it's sounds. A particular sound, in fact.

That's two "No"s you got there.

As other people said, you need to think a LOT more French.
