    Oh man this is hard, although the first few stages are easy.

    Only 220+ people out of 10 to 20000 got to the final round. If you complete even half of the riddle, you are considered a genius.

    You just have to look at the source code for hints.

    To look at the source code, right click on the page and click view source.

    There are some hidden hints there
    If you can't find anything in the source code, try using the URLs in the source code.
    No sharing of answers, you can share hints.

    ok

    so
    I entered "the password" on the first page

    and I got to a 2nd page.

    LOL

    It says you have to enter THE PASSWORD to access level 1. Get it?

    Same trick doesn't work on page 2, they ask you to enter the keycode.

    But if you view source to that page, it tells you to load ramsend.php. It tells you the code is 39281982.

    Level 3:
    There are 12 Q's in an R. There are 84 Q's in a W. There are 7 R's in a W.
    There are 365 or 366 X's in a Y. There is 1 R for every X.
    If this is the 04 W of the Y, what X of the Y is today?

    this is in the html source:
    HINT: Figure out what each variable means. It will make things MUCH easier

    I'll leave it up to you to solve it [​IMG]

    I remember a site kind of like this before, but it involved a different picture for each round. I also remember a different site called Puzzle donkey I forget exactly how that one worked.

    I'm on level 5, but I'm pretty sure there is music, but I can't hear it.

    This is the riddle

    this isn't me playing, but it's a good recording. use it to relax if you're getting tense.

    When you open the page source, there is a .css link. You copy, paste it and enter it. Then, beside the font type, is that. I used it because it just stood out to me.

    <span style="color:white">
    Obviously, i had figured out that 365/366 X's referred to the numbers of days in a year, but since I looked at some of your answers prior to starting this thing, I messed up on Level 2.

    I typed in 27 and I got to Level 3.</span>

    Yea, I thought that was the answer, the year. But then I just thought smaller, and used today's date.
