Right, let's work together, people!

http://www.mcgov.co.uk/zahada.html

That there is a puzzle site (apologies if this has been covered years ago, but I can't remember seeing it recently).

You solve riddles and paste the answer into your URL bar as the first page suggests.

When you get stuck, you ask for help here, and we all help each other until we have solved all the riddles.

Go for it!

I think we have had something like it, but not this version exactly.

I, of course, cannot get off of the front page. :)

Bobbyaro - that's the level I stopped on, and I had to Google for two levels previous to that one.

I can't stand games like this, simply because I'm not good enough at them, and that frustrates me.

I got stuck on 8 for some reason.

Answers are fine if you put them in spoilers.

I got stuck on four, finally worked it out and then zoomed to 15 where I am finally stuck. A lot seem to rely on the same trick.

the one with all the fish was nasty, though.

basic algebra and a little bit of logic (elimination of the non logical answers) also look everywhere for clues

Given that I like Seinfeld and you don't, it's pretty obvious which one of us has the evil. Also: see the comment I made about you on my blog. Edit -- which if I weren't so very lazy I would have linked to.

Man, how desperate for hits are you? :)

Blade Runner allusion = everything forgiven, however.

Maybe we should do an uptojump puzzle section where the clue to the next page is buried within colour-clash riddled spectrum screenshots.
