The Numbers Game
This game is brilliantly simple. Basically you have to try an advance to the page with the next number. If you don't quite grasp what I'm getting at, check the comments for the answers to the first few.
But try it yourself, it feels much better when you finally work it out.

1 => 2
Simply click the "1" and you will advance to number two.
2 => 3
Simply replace 2 with 3 in the address bar.
3 => 4
This is now in Roman numerals, so replace the 3 with IV (must be capitals) in the address bar.
4 => 5
This word is written out, so replace "IV" with "five" in the address bar.
5 => 6
This is five "o"'s, so replace "five" with six "o"'s (oooooo) in the address bar.
6 => 7
This looks a bit like the binary code for 6. The binary code for seven can be looked up in Google to be 111. So replace "oooooo" with "111" in the address bar.
See next comment for more...

7 => 8
This is French. If you don't know French Google will again be of help. Replace "111" with "huit" in the address bar.
8 => 9
This is backwards. "nine" backwards is "enin", so replace "huit" with "enin" in the address bar.
9 => 10
Drag your mouse over the page and you will see the word NINE is written in black uppercase. Replace "enin" with "TEN" in the address bar.
10 => 11
This one needs a little techy knowledge to look for something hidden in the HTML. Click View, then click View Source and you will see the answer (e_l_e_v_e_n) embedded in the HTML coding.
11 => 12
Every time there is an e, it is followed by an extra e. The answer to the next one is therefore tweelvee.
12 => 13
This is a nasty one. Think of how "thirteen" could be described in terms of a dozen. If you still need help keep reading...

12 => 13 CONTD.
13 can be described as a bakers' dozen. The answer is to replace tweelvee with "a_bakers_dozen" in the address bar.
13 => 14
Think Bingo. Then think finishing the sentence. The answer is "for_some".
14 => 15
This is 14 squared. Start > Programs > Accessories > Calculator shows the next answer to be 225.
15 => 16
This is morse code. A google search for morse code will show you how to type "16" in morse code, but remember to put a space in between each letter.
16 => 17
This is Welsh for 16. Again, Google is your friend and you can find out what Welsh for 17 is.
Thursday, July 13, 2006 9:06:00 pm
17 => 18
This is the first 17 numbers in the Fibonacci sequence (Google it) added together.
Thursday, July 13, 2006 9:16:00 pm
18 => 19 => 20
In the case of 18, look in the title bar. You will see that the answer to the next one is NINEteen. However, this page will redirect you back to 18. The only way to look at this page is either to open the page in NotePad and analyse the source code, or somehow hit your browser's stop button before it has time to redirect, then choose View Source. In view source, it infers that the following answer is "___twenty___".

Or you can disable Javascript.

20 => 21
Again, look at the source code or the image properties. You will see the image is named "twenty", without the e and y. Therefore the answer is twentyone without the e and y (twnton).

21 => 22
I do not like this one at all. Orziot jiz is not a language, it's a code that spells "twenty one" whereby have letter is five letters earlier, so t=o, w=r, etc. Its best to write this code down for all the letters then re-code it to spell twenty two, a.k.a. "ORZIOT ORJ". However, you must then also shift each letter by one so you get "psajpu_psk", which is the answer.
As you may have guessed, I had some outside help on this one.

22 => 23
"twenty two" has_9 letters. "twenty three" has_11 letters.
Thursday, July 13, 2006 9:49:00 pm
23 => 24
23 is the hour before... what? Think of the time. What time is it at the 24th hour? (midnight).
Thursday, July 13, 2006 9:59:00 pm
24 => 25
This is "fn_" followed by the square root of 24. The answer is therefore "fn_five", as 5 is the square root of 25.
Thursday, July 13, 2006 10:01:00 pm
25 => 26
(I had outside help here too.) the "19" is hexadecimal code (http://www.dewassoc.com/support/msdos/decimal_hexadecimal.htm) for "25". The page above will tell you the code for 26 (1A), so the answer is "x1A".
Thursday, July 13, 2006 10:09:00 pm
26 => 27
You'll notice the background is different here: view the source to get teh hex code for the background. You must then remove the #, and add one to the letters (i.e. a becomes b). The answer is 1b001b.
Yes, I had help here too.
Thursday, July 13, 2006 10:17:00 pm
I'm tired now. I think the next one has something to do with the fact that in the source code the stylesheet is "stylee" rather than "style", and this stylesheet has a hex code (#bbabb) that the other one doesn't. Not sure what to do with it though.
Thursday, July 13, 2006 10:29:00 pm
27 => 28
Got it. The answer is bbabb rearranged to bbbaa.
Friday, July 14, 2006 8:19:00 pm
28 => 29
The month "Feb" can have both 28 and 29 days. So the answer is 29_has_feb.
Friday, July 14, 2006 8:21:00 pm
29 => 30
This is an anagram of twenty nine, so the answer is an anagram of thirty (hit_try).
Friday, July 14, 2006 8:23:00 pm
And that's it. Now I can go get a life.
No, not really.

If you like this you'll like Tricky's Riddles. If you don't know it, Google it :)
Saturday, July 15, 2006 11:05:00 pm
a bit more explanation on the 27 => 28.
you can replace a=0 and b=1 in bbabb to get 11011, which is 27 in binary. binary 28 is 11100, which substituting back, yields bbbaa.
