@FTS - yep, that's what it does - well that's what it appears to do!

Try opening the 19 page in a brand new browser instance and see what it does, then think how it does that, then think how you can find out more about page 19 ... it's more of a technology challenge than a logic challenge

PS you can probably tell this has taken my imagination So I need to know if there is a 21 to be found, or else I might be wasting a lot of time tonight!

I hate you Drunken Bungle *****, i've got no work done this afternoon and now have a headache as well

*foot note*
there was a pretty good chance that I wasnt going to do any work this afternoon anyway, so technically am only blaming you for the headache.

Beth,
A very good find indeed, but you're upsetting our development team The poor souls got stuck on the "sept" clue, rather than thinking of cheese eating surrender monkeys, they started thinking about latin, pour souls

Martin - stick with it - there is at least a number 27, although there are a couple of really obscure ones.... then it gets easier

Here's the solutions up to 20:

1 = Click on the number 1

2 = Displays 2, so enter 3.

3 = III (roman numeral) so enter IV

4 = four, so enter five

5 = ooooo (five letter o's, NOT five zeros) enter six letter o's

6 = 110 (binary for 6) enter 111

7 = sept (french for 7) enter huit

8 = thgie (eight backwards) enter enin

9 = black screen, or so it appears, either select all or view the source, which shows NINE, so enter TEN

10 = Another black screen, view the source and you'll see <!--e_l_e_v_e_n shall follow--> so enter e_l_e_v_e_n

11 = eeleeveen (letter e is doubled) so enter tweelvee

12 = a_dozen, so enter a_bakers_dozen (which is 13)

13 = 13, unlucky ... (unlucky for some) so enter for_some

14 = 196, 14 squared is 196, so what's the square of 15, enter 225

15 = ..-._.._..-._-_._._-. (morse code for 15) so enter ..._.._-..-_-_._._-.

16 = un_ar_bymtheg (welsh for 16) so enter dau_ar_bymtheg

17 = 1597 (fibonacci number) so enter 2584

18 = Black screen, but look at title is says EIGHteen, so enter NINEteen

19 = A real bugger for me as I'm not using IE, so it doesn't show me what it should, so had to do a tcpdump to find out that you need to enter ___twenty___ (three underscore charters before and after the word 20)

20 = displays 20 from a file called twnt.png, so that's twenty with the e and y remove, so we want twenty one so enter twnton

21 = orziot_jiz. Letter substitution (letters are 21 chars forward) so enter psajpu_ps
