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 ...
Right evil one.
(There's a reason I spoilerized it, fellas.)
Of course, Atrophied's headslap is my wall; at 17 now.

Hint: 10 = 55
Everyone else:

#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.

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.
