"++""++""++""+);



So, now I'm thinking something about the function never being initially executed, the fact RedirectURL is never used, whether or not we care about the missing semicolon when the code will work w/o it, etc.

setTimeout should probably technically be a method of an object, etc.
Not to mention there are fixes needed that would require deletion as well.

;=) doesn't cut it, which would be a cute answer, too. which covers the purely syntactic error, i think.



There's a big one that you'll want to commit seppuku for missing when you see it. And technically speaking, the != null construct isn't a syntactic error, fyi.

hmm... followed your hint and got a new page but all it says is "nice try"

Committing seppuku now!
For those still suffering, take that!
But seriously you don't need that !== thing, my earlier answer was only off by a little bit.

I'm with you on the seppuku. A dictionary would've been more helpful.

Omelets made great. Now I just need to figure out the order of the rest and what it ACTUALLY cares about....!

EDIT: Finally solved. Holy crap. I'm a loser.

Totally baffled by 35 at this point. I think I know what it wants me to do (maybe) but I have no idea how.

Did you view the source & look at at a key comment?

EDIT: She also says "PDF eBooks," too -- which might affect where we go a'lookin'...

Sorry to be a bit behind everyone else, but 25 is stumping me to an unnecessary degree. Any hints? I have to go to another site for this one, no? It says "destination puzzle", but i'm not sure what it means by that. Am I changing the URL again? I found an "Oreilly maker", and exactly reproduced the image they gave. No dice...

Five is it.

I've tried number, primenumber, naturalnumber and go on...

A clue please...

Is 29 an external puzzle as well?

Or am I supposed to figure it out with the page?

Any more guidance on 30? I translated the text but I have no idea how to continue.

One of the paragraph cannot be translated but has to be decoded, (hint in source) that paragraph is known as ********. the first word of that is the answer.

I am pulling hair on 32..... This is like my usual work. Wasting hours on small period or comma somewhere.

And it looks like some people over at Facebook discussions are already in upper 50s.

Also the color doesn't matter but the symmetry does.

This is driving me crazy, I got all the way up to 18 without much problem, but I've been stuck on this one for hours now.
I've got the number 6314341 from the other numbers, but it has no results on phonespell because of the one's. Please someone help me get from 6314341 to the correct word(s)!!

Thanks!

Thank you. It should have been more obvious to me.

Ugh, I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

Does anyone know if there's a good place to test algorithm efficiency? It's related to 43.

You'll get it in the end. You might get it multiple times, in fact.

Level 46... I don't recall having seen any stars recently. Has anyone else?

Probably not, seeing as how you are the only person on here that has gotten that far. Hard to catch up when you just make the riddles harder.

I don't recall any stars lately either. Not sure if it's relevant that they're the most current and least current versions. I was hoping they were a clue for a later puzzle because otherwise this doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense!

My bad. I'm trying not to post any spoilers.

The HTML comment in 35 is pretty important. You'll find those at the end of a bunch of numbers related to each item on the puzzle page.

Still have no idea what you mean.

I'm officially giving up on this game. Seeing as how I've already beaten level 100, it seems kind of pointless to go back and do 35+.

33 (yeah, I have a ways to catch up). but I've decoded the statement and of course know the answer, but no matter how I format it in the url it's not accepting it. suggestions? (btw, it's the binary one)
