    Got to 15 before i lost interest!


    There used to be a similar thing going around that was really good, you used to have to look in the source code of the page to clues and do searches on the net etc...

    Put your mouse cursor on the lower right corner of your screen, where the clock (probably) is and wait a second. That's a hint.

    I can't get past uranus (no jokes please). I guessed at pluto but that just takes me to an error page so I'm assuming that's wrong. Clues please.

    Only read below if you want a hint:

    Maybe you should just learn how to control a computer. :p

    Wikipedia it if you're still stuck and want a hint
  • Indrid ColdIndrid Cold Posts: 16,688 Skive's The Limit
    Google and Babelfish are both very helpful.

    That hasn't helped...
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Try about the 13th one down the list I think. It's the one that relates closely with the US - sorry to be so cryptic!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I don't know my latin.

    Franki - try looking for people called that name. Important people. Who may have been the 15th person to do something.

    Well me too.

    Stuck on the caesar shift now. I think I'm trying to be too clever. But it's not working. ojofuffo get stuffed.

    If you know what it is, don't you just need to know the alphabet?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I'm stuck again. 20-21 is not being helped by google.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I know my alphabet but have to go a.b.c.d.e.f.g.h etc. but recognised it as a caesar shift cipher straight away (in my maths days used to do a lot of those kinds of quizes, some quite nasty ones people made up that stumped even frequency analysis). But yea, the thing I was using to work out the number of moves along i realised it was just 1, and then copy and pasting didn't work.

    But I got there in the end.

    Finished it, that last one was a bit easy.

    wikipedia has a good page that tells you how to construct names of certain things.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Where?! Wikipedia is not my friend :(.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Done! 20-21 was the hardest by far
