#084-yellow-star set-insights

While researching puzzle ideas I spend a fair bit of time on your websites. These are four of my favorites. Can you name them?

someone enter a picture

also there are a series of numbers that may give a website in small print on the side, they are 27.55.25.34.4.43.500.15.18.55.13.1.10.30.56.55.39.21.7.16.27.55.25.69. 29.35.62.55

Next to Kurts name running down the page from halfway to the bottom, you can see it as a line on the pic is this number:

27.55.25.34.4.43.500.15.18.55.13.1.10.30.56.55.39.21.7.16.27.55.25.69.29.35.62.55.


A kloo????

Well, they could just be coordinates for creating a rough outline of the Perplex City skyline... but it's likely that there's more to it than that.

ChalcoDoror,
How in the world did you find #2? Shocked
The closest I can get is this page.
But it's the wrong colors, wrong graphics and I can't duplicate it in the 'Internet Archive Wayback Machine' for Nov 9, 2004. Confused
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://slashdot.com
(Sorry, that url refuses to let me make a correct link out of it, so you'll need to copy and paste the whole string.)

IP Addresses, anyone?

Hey All

Anyone actually thought that it's a list of unseparated IP addresses?
Makes sence really...

I was my first thought, actually. There are the right amount of numbers there for it to be split into 7 seperate IP addresses.

But none of them actually respond to anything, one falls within a reserved private network range, and that 500 is completely out of place.

The answers you gave are correct - perhaps remove the space from the last one. If that doesn't work, maybe try adding a couple of dozen exclamation marks to each answer, that always works well I hear.

As for being on holiday...yes, they are. I'm sure that they'll respond upon their return.
