Believe me, I sound smart now I know the answers, but there were about twenty of us working on it together over on the UG forum.


Quick, everyone to the UG forum for more clues! :D
Still not getting 11, even when trying to keep it simple

You were spot on with the first try on your list. Turn 'em into numbers then do your thing with them.

There's a final step, but I'll leave it to you...

I'm pretty sure everything apart from numbers is lower case and no spaces.

If you view the HTML source for the page you're on, it sometimes gives you clues - the one for that page said :-

No. Everything you need for that one is on the screen.

Which version of IE are you using?

It seems odd that you got that code. There's no Javascript in this puzzle.

Hmmm, sorry if this sounds stupidly patronising (and feel free to shout expletives at me though the screen) but you did right click somewhere in the white surround to view the code?

For example, the code for the one with the fish should say this :-

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link rel="icon" href="zahada.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="zahada.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<title>Look VERY closely for the answer.</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<center><table width="640">
<tr>
<td><p>7.</p></td>
</tr><tr>
<td><img src="images/redherring.jpg" width="600" height="400"><td>
</tr><tr>

<td><center><p>Red herring?</p></center></td>
</tr>
</table></center>
</html>

You should have no problems using IE7, although ironically it's going to make the puzzle you're on a little bit harder to solve.

yeah, the white surround, like the actual page, not the border or owt, that's right?

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><script src="http://1.2.3.8/bmi-int-js/bmi.js" language="javascript"></script><link rel="icon" href="zahada.ico" type="image/x-icon" /><link rel="shortcut icon" href="zahada.ico" type="image/x-icon" /><title>Look VERY closely for the answer.</title> </head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><center><table width="640"><tr><td><p>7.</p></td></tr><tr><td><img src="http://1.2.3.10/bmi/mcgov.co.uk/riddles/images/redherring.jpg" width="600" height="400"><td></tr><tr><td><center><p>Red herring?</p></center></td></tr></table></center></html><script language="javascript"><!--

</script>

You're on the right track, you just have to look reeeeally closely at the fish.

The Javascript is a compression thing done by your ISP apparently.

Can you try hitting CTRL + F5, then looking at the source? It seems to fix it for some people.
