Easy peasy. What helps the blind read?
Do a search for braille on Google and get the letters on the domino's
(no, not going to give the answers themselves ;)

Its a good game. I had just made enough to buy a battleship - 134 million
isk.
Then my sub ran out.

So after my first 24 hours I:
- Haven't seen Smegus online
- Have 3.4 million ISK
- Am on my second Punisher frigate with three decent lasers, the frigate
costing 280k-ish and the lasers over 500k if you include the crystals.
Not bad, I'd say. Wish I could make millions as easily in the real world.

I'm stopping at 5. I'm too tired.
3 was a pain. Even with your clue, it was hard. I got the answer right
away, but figuring out what to do with it was the tricky part.

Brilliant!  I finally figured that part out, but the letters I got
don't make much sense. When I sat down here I picked up my
note from last night and saw a possible combination that makes
sense, so I'll try that when I leave here.
Let's see, I got: J O U N P A H L, which can also be "JohnPaul".
I dunno, I hope that's it. :o|

Well, it won't go. Even tried the alternate method of advancing to
the next page. Tried all caps. Tried adding "and".
This is irritating.

That was with the drill?
It requires knowledge of ASCII.

Hey Troy! I thought you might have popped up in afmb when this new puzzle
site was discussed.
Have you stayed with CRN? I pop over to Murphyz every once in a while to
see if anyone's solved #48. How anyone can try to solve a puzzle presented
by a guy with limited grammatical accuracy astounds me.

Man, that was a booger! The drill had zero to do with the answer.
The hint is in the source code: "Try using an ALTernative for this one".
Now, I finally gor Ross to identify the picture that's on #5- it's a
shot from "Blade". I think the answer might have something to do with
that movie, but I've never seen the movie.
I've tried so many things in the URL I give up. Got a hint for me?

Again, the hint is in the source-code.
The image is called [...]/screen69.jpg
But this isn't question 69 is it? Copy that image address to the URL bar
and correct it.

AUGH! I HAD that, but messed it up when I typed it. I took the
"red" part out like a dummy. So this time I kept fooling around and
got it. Gah.
BUT, I'm at #7 and it's *hysterical*!!! LOL
Thank you Frank.

Wow, I was sailing until I got to #13. I've got the answer, I'm *sure*,
but changing the URL doesn't work, and I can't find a live link.
Where are you? On #6?

Okay, I got to #15, but stopping for the night. Looks like I'll
have a load of Googling to do for this one as well...........

Troy's the one that solved 5. I stopped working past 2 since it says that
an image editor is going to be required on some of the puzzles and that
looking at the page source would be required as well. I'm just not in the
mood for it, I'd rather play Natural Selection.
The CRN puzzle kinda turned me off from this stuff, in the back of my mind
I was always thinking the whole puzzle was a scam to get viewings credit
for the ads on his pages. At least this guy doesn't have any ads on his
site.
If you want hints, Chris at afmb says he's up to #21.

Doing quite well, thank you. I think they're all up north of LA, so I'm
cool. I'm between Irvine and San Juan Capistrano; way south of these.

#13 (the one with "Carmen Sandiego" for a title) is a simple replace the
text in the URL type of answer. Just don't forget the .htm, which I keep
doing.
The next one involves a link. Rather than searching for the hot spot,
just do what I do: look at the source for the "../orange/link" and put
that up in the URL (as http://www.frvade.com/orange/<link>". It's a lot
easier than finding the spot that raises the password dialog.

Got it! Moving on to level 8, and I have some catching up to do.

I'm up to level 23 now. Let me know if you need clues. Also, the forums
on frvade.com are actually very useful for clues.

Rokay, I'll hang onto this when I get back to it. I was still
puzzling over #15 I think...........

No no, I'll only ask in here for clues. If I ran across an answer
in a forum I'd be disappointed.

This is why the forums are useful. They are moderated and do not contain
answers, only hints.

Exactly. The moderators are very strict and will even remove hints that
are too obvious or messages that give too much away accidentally
(usually by somebody who hasn't solved it yet asking if such-and-such a
clue is relevant).

I am Kris Kochanski online. My Alt, Smegus, is on hold, as he was too
much of a brainiac and not enough of a warrior type.

Ah yes. Doh.
So, do you want a Bestower industrial, Omen (with four beam lasers)
cruiser, a Punisher frigate and a few million ISK? Trial is up. Respond
fast :-)
