Just work out the URL for the next number...
Welcome to madness.

Aargh....
Stuck after 10
heh heh heh
wait until you get 18, I'm giving up for the night
Got to 18.... you bastard, Gary! I'm going to be doing this all bloody night!
Got to 17, now stumped on 18.
Hmmmm 21 is a bit of bugger...
WTF??
Stumped at 10.
10 is slightly lateral - How else can you look at a webpage.
Stumped on getting to 18.
18's lateral too, in a sequential sort of way.
Still can't get to 19. Curse you, Wilkinson!
I was heading in that direction, I went straight to it this time after missing it last time.
13, the mind boggles ...
Aaargh!
We thought of that last night but not in quite the right way...! Seen what you mean on the next one pete
BAH!!!!!! You're all bastards, I don't even get number six! :(
Got to ten but the screen's blank is that right?
That's right ;-)
This is really annoying... any clues for 19? Please?
any clues for eleven would be great!!!!
And, ahem, how to get to, er, number........... [in quiet, ashamed voice hoping no-one really hears].....eight.*
*Yes, I'm pish.
Hmmm....
Get to page 2 and then..... nowt.
I am either...
a) Using a slightly dodgy browser,
b) Very stupid.
Admittedly, both are probably true!
'(in quiet, ashamed voice hoping no-one really hears).....eight.'
If i could get past 2 without cheating i'd be happy! (That is, i *think* im cheating...)
use the address bar to get from one page to the next.
And, ahem, how to get to, er, number...eight.
Perhaps you need more wheat in your diet.*
*Brought to you by Shit-o-Clue!
Nice pussy Wils.
This is pissing me off now, I'm still stuck on 11.....
:-(
Bah. Cruised up to seventeen, but have now been stuck on 18 for the last hour. Any hints welcome.
I'm still stuck on 11I'm stuck on getting 14. I've an idea what it may be, but actually getting it right is a bastard.
Yeah, me too.
Is it asking us to follow the phrase with a traditional continuation or just finish the existing phrase?
I'm stuck on getting 14. I've an idea what it may be, but actually getting it right is a bastard.I'd just like to underline how easy that one is...
Oh, and if anyone's stuck and needs a change of pace, try this:

I can't even get number six! I fucking hate numbers...
I can't even get number six! I fucking hate numbers...
Those aren't numbers...
Yeah, I got that- I just assumed that 110 meant I'd accidently hit some future number. Is that not the case then?
In fact, I'm not sure I want to know. I find it hard enough to get on with my work as it is!
It's possible that some of the clues use number systems other than decimal.
Wils, is that a clue or are you calling me saucy... ?
:-)
Pete - 19 needs a degree of timing to get onto the next page - real PITA that one.
Now need to work how to get onto 23
Sorry, but this is all just random bollocks to me.
Yours, feeling stupid and in a bit of a huff
-Wul
Ps. I can get to 'III', but then it stops making any sense...
It seems to be more logic than numbers. To progress you need to work out the URL for the next screen, right? See that bit where it says '1' in the web address for the first page, and '2' for the second page? That's the bit you need to work out something new for each time.

R

Three comes up as 'III', which is your clue for four - which you logically assume should be put in as 'IV'. Four comes up as 'four', so you put in five as 'five,' and so on. Get it? The skill is in guessing how to enter the next bit of the URL according to each clue you're given.
Yours, feeling condescending and hypocritical, considering he's still stuck on only seven/eight, even with Wills' clue, which I still don't get
- Jimbo
Aaaaaahhh......!!!
(Slaps forehead repeatedly)
Good explanation Jimbo. But I'd watch your language with the next step ;-)
Dagnabbit! Stuck on fifteen for a fecking hour!
What? It's something to do with Greek bread?
You're just taunting me now.
Arrgghhh 19!!!! What do you mean by timing?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Nah, meant Pain In The Ass...
Later spoilers...

If you've got the clue right for the next page, the page you want then redirects you back to where you were.
There are several ways to stop it doing it - all tricky...
aaaah, well, I'm on the right track, then. It's still a bastard, though.
Hmm...your right...I do keep getting redirected...
Number 17.
1597
WTF?
AAARRGH!! Gibber. Gibber. Drool.
This is annoying, I just don't have the necessary web-fu. Damn you, Google! Why do you let me down now?
Got it!
...aaaand stuck again.
13, unlucky ...
I'm stuck.
Link: wiki help?
I'm stuck for the solution to 11. There was a clue on page 9 to get you 10, but there don't appear to be any clues on page 10...
:(
Ush, I posted a pic on the first page for 11.
Look at the sauce.
I did, but I'm thick. I'm now looking at it again...
Look again Ush (and if you want I'll email you the answer)
Thanks, WoD. You may as well. I can't see I'm going to get it otherwise!
I think Ush, that you should get to the source of your own problem.
So if seven is "sept", why isn't eight "oct"?
Stupid bloody game...
The reason 'oct' doesn't follow 'sept' is because the answer doesn't lie within Latin.
Psst! Ush! Over here, the guy in the dunce cap. So what does follow 'sept'...?
Argh! What the hell is up with 14?
"Psst! Ush! Over here, the guy in the dunce cap. So what does follow 'sept'...?"
maybe you should wear a deux cap instead
Sauce!!!???
What the F%?***k I'm well perplexed - bolllocks
A 'deux' cap? That's quite funny, especially as it's pronounced a duh cap.
I'll email you the answer, Dark Jimbo, in case no-one else has.
Sauce!!!???
"Look at the sauce."
Say it out loud and ignore the spelling.
Still stuck on 14.
Doh! Thanks Wils - it took me all this time for my one afternoon HTML programming course to come back to me. That really came in handy then.
;)
I/we just got 14. Very amusing.
I didn't just get 14. Very perplexing.
I'm now stuck on 15.
Glad to see you all have so much fun...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh....
Thanks Ush. It seems pretty simple now, so simple that I'm embarrassed to have been stuck on it for so long. And, ironically, only now that I've been told the answer do the clues all start making sense. I guess I must just be much dumber than I thought. :(
I've no idea. What sauce/source, I don't know html...
Move over Jimbo - my turn for the pointy hat...
4fubkingteen!!!!?
4fubkingteen!!!!?
It's what you think it is, but you can't use spaces, you have to use underscores instead.
I got to 25 in under three hours, but I've been stuck on getting to 26 for the best part of a day. It's driving me nuts!
I got to 25 in under three hours
Perhaps you could dispense a hint on getting from 17 to 18 then. Please, for the love of God!!
Can't solve the clue for 15. Do you have to be a maths geek to work it out?
Link: Does the answer lie anywhere here?
happy to say I got stuck at III. I'm no good at this kind of puzzle, me.
Can't solve the clue for 15. Do you have to be a maths geek to work it out?
The answer's looking you square in the face.
Perhaps you could dispense a hint on getting from 17 to 18 then. Please, for the love of God!!
Hint: Leonardo of Pisa
wikipedia is useful.
Thanks, Cosh. I knew that would come up sooner or later, I was just too lazy to do the math...
I got to 18 the same way Carnivore did. I think I may have to give this a rest and get on with some decorating, because I can't see any clues for 19!
Getting exciting now. I've sussed the clue (easy one!) and I'm now getting the redirect...
Can't work the math for 18. not sure I care anymore.
I have found the solution page...
DON'T LOOK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CHEAT!!!!

This just seems stupid to me. Am I right in saying that in order to get the clue for 20 on page nineteen, you have to use a web browser that doesn't support javascript? Is that clever?
If that's the answer, I'm not impressed.
I used ReGet, a download manager, to grab the actual webpage. If you think that's bad wait until you get a few pages on!
I got to the end. (For future generations, I'd like to note the solutions page linked above only goes up to 20 as of this writing.)
you win (for now)
That was lots of fun.
Fucking Welsh?!?
Well, kept us all out of trouble for a bit, I suppose. I daresay there were a few less comic geeks roaming the streets this weekend while we tried to grapple with this quite annoying puzzle. Be honest - who just gave up?
After looking at the answers I knew I wouldn't have got even half of them because it relies upon you knowing code etc.
So it's not a real test of logic or IQ, but a load of bollocks.
Fiancee has temporarily given up trying to solve 21. Annoyingly, it looks like she has the solution but in her words 'Can't get the bastard thing to work!'.
Somebody could have mentioned that having caps lock on will stop you dead in your tracks! half a fucking hour on 'FIVE'!!!!!
"Am I right in saying that in order to get the clue for 20 on page nineteen, you have to use a web browser that doesn't support javascript?"
You could always just disable Javascript in your browser, Ush...
