#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

I've found 3 of them, but can't read enough on the 2nd one to find it.

Yeah they're confirmed just don't put the .org or .net on them.

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?
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.
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.
