Uhhh...

Should I feel stupid? Is there a pattern? How am I supposed to know what I'll be typing in the future without trying every letter?

That second puzzle is far too vague. Does "different" mean count each individual character or each type of character? Is it assuming we'll just type in what immediately precedes ".html", or that we'll type in the whole URL? If so, starting with "http://" or not? Is the second answer to be written as a number or a word?

Eesh.

I've tried every permutation of the above, though I admit that I could easily have screwed one up. And I've gotten nowhere. Guest, care to give a hint?

A Hint

"Different" means how many different kinds of characters, not how many characters in all. You should start counting from where you put the answer, not from http.

Other than that, I can't really help you. Hell, I got to page 5 and I still don't know how I got the answer to 2, 3 and 4. I just tried random characters until the next page appears. If anyone could explain how the answer to <2> is derived, I would be much obliged.

Same here. Pushed my way to level four, and I don't think I have the patience for this anymore. But if there's actually a logic to this, I'd love to see it.

I managed to get to level 6, as far as I can tell one answer in each set of questions is intended to be worked out through trial and error. Of course you have to have all the other answers correct in order to have a chance!

for level 5 remember the answer to the first question in level 4....

As to level 6 the first question seems to be paradoxical so I'm more than a little stuck -_-

Woo, well, is this Pr0n?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Solve for 1:
What is the fourth letter of the fourth word of this sentence?
r
What number gives 8 if multiplied by itself and divided by 2?
4
What would 've been your answer to the first question if the eighth word had been eighth?
h

I know no one's posted on this subject in a while, but I just came across it tonight. Anyhow, I was stuck with level 6 for a bit too, but I just got past it and on to number 7.

It's a lot worse. heh

Anyone else ever get further?

I just found it and got to level 7 too, thanks to seanlpuzzle's bump. Evil. *stares at the first question*

I think I have a viable answer to the first one, actually. It's the year that I'm stuck with (find it hard to believe they want the literal value.. they would have to save between 50 and 100 different pages)

I have possible answers for each one and the year's the one I'm most certain about. Rolling Eyes

Forget that, someone help me with page two! Laughing

A hint would be nice... I'm usually good with logic too but this one is well annoying.

Changed my mind, the second one is kinda cool...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


What's the third character (letter or number) you'll type to go to <3> from here?

How many different characters will you type to go to <3> from here, not counting .html?

What's the first character you'll type to go to <3> from here?


The third character that YOU will type, is the answer to the third question. If you skip to number three, the First character that you'll type is the answer to number one, so they must be the same, which means that the answer to number two is "2". so the solution for number two is:

something "2" something...

and when someone finds the answer to number one, they'll find the answer to number 3 aswell..... ok I take back my change of mind... this does suck.

OK, I am stuck on the first part of page 6!! The paradox has me confused.

So far, I've tried:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

my entire keyboard (shifted and not), upper, none, uppercase, capital, capitals, no, etc, alt, ctrl, ins, del


I think I'm overcomplicating it, but the paradox of it has me stumped.
