This is one hard internet riddle

[LakerBlood]

Oh man this is hard, although the first few stages are easy.

Only 220+ people out of 10 to 20000 got to the final round. If you complete even half of the riddle, you are considered a genius.

You just have to look at the source code for hints.

To look at the source code, right click on the page and click view source.

There are some hidden hints there
If you can't find anything in the source code, try using the URLs in the source code.
No sharing of answers, you can share hints.

The riddle

If you use Internet explorer, click on menu "View" then click on "Source"

 

[Denny Crane]

ok

so
I entered "the password" on the first page

and I got to a 2nd page.

LOL

It says you have to enter THE PASSWORD to access level 1. Get it?

Same trick doesn't work on page 2, they ask you to enter the keycode.

But if you view source to that page, it tells you to load ramsend.php. It tells you the code is 39281982.

Level 3:
There are 12 Q's in an R. There are 84 Q's in a W. There are 7 R's in a W.
There are 365 or 366 X's in a Y. There is 1 R for every X.
If this is the 04 W of the Y, what X of the Y is today?

this is in the html source:
HINT: Figure out what each variable means. It will make things MUCH easier

I'll leave it up to you to solve it

I remember a site kind of like this before, but it involved a different picture for each round. I also remember a different site called Puzzle donkey I forget exactly how that one worked.

[huevonkiller]

Lol what is this? I got Shake's answer for Level 2 and it doesn't let me pass.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

How did you find level 3?

 

[Master Shake]

Level 2 is todays date.

 

[Master Shake]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (MyNetsForLife @ Jan 27 2008, 01:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>How did you find level 3?</div>

When you open the page source, there is a .css link. You copy, paste it and enter it. Then, beside the font type, is that. I used it because it just stood out to me.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

I actually went there before, but I didn't see the code.
Thanks

<span style="color:white">
Obviously, i had figured out that 365/366 X's referred to the numbers of days in a year, but since I looked at some of your answers prior to starting this thing, I messed up on Level 2.

I typed in 27 and I got to Level 3.</span>

No problem, so I couldn't get past 8. If anyone does tell me. I always get to a screen and it has this colorful picture with a number 5 and I dont know where to type "yellowfloweryellowtower" My friend told me that's what I need to type.

Yea, I thought that was the answer, the year. But then I just thought smaller, and used today's date.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

It was actually just the day of the year.

Alright, so on level 4, I opened up both the run stop run thing, and the css page. now what?

Okay, this one I got completely by accident. Are you using a laptop?

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Yes.

 

[Master Shake]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (MyNetsForLife @ Jan 27 2008, 01:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Yes.</div>

Okay

*Spoiler*






Alright, when you click on 1 0 4, bend your screen down. Under the "two" you should see the word "formula". Under the "three" you should see the word "statenation" and under the "one" you should see "kingtire"

Now, you go back to the three rows, where you need to type those words to get to the next level. In the first row, type "kingtire".

In the second one type "formula"

In the third, type "statenation"

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

See it now, thanks again.

 

[Master Shake]

No problem.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Wha's microsoft sam even saying on number 5?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (MyNetsForLife @ Jan 27 2008, 01:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Wha's microsoft sam even saying on number 5?</div>

For the level, it took me awhile. I know there is something there, or a sound, but I couldn't hear it. I asked a friend, he told me the first to numbers are 88. Then I just took 1947 and mixed numbers around.

Actually, for Level 5 I saved the image and changed it's colors then got the answer.

Now for Level 7, how do I type my IP address? Where do i find that?

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

885497 isn't working, and then I tried 881497. Didn't work either.

It's a fake error, just keep viewing the source.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

So keep entering the same password? Or do I keep viewing the source?
