And I wouldn't mind some collaboration. I'm up to Level Four now, and... bewildered. I'll put a spoiler for what I've figured out so far down below, but I highly recommend getting at least this far by yourself. It's fantastic, and I'm sure it gets much harder as it goes on.
Okay, so for Level Four, I counted the slashes as numbers. With it, I obtained IP addresses, below. When I connected to them, they resulted in the following addresses (page titles given), every one of them with some connection to the UK.
66.249.91.99 Google 82.132.141.30 O2 213.115.112.126 D-Link United Kingdom 217.204.42.23 J. Sainsbury plc 82.132.141.30 O2 193.254.108.152 B. Braun Melsungen AG
I've tried entering each title seperately into the HTML, then all together. No result. I've tried plugging in 9.16.IP address, but that's obviously impossible. I have no idea what to do next. Any ideas?
END SPOILER
Be warned, I'm probably not going to check this often, since I'm really enjoying working this out on my own. And if you come up with a solution, PLEASE mark it as a spoiler (and preferably with what level it's for)! Otherwise... hope you have as much fun as I am.

man, those are hard! I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten that far, but I'm giving up at the one where the clue at the bottom starts out with "Dear Keanu"
this is going to bother me though. Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :
Do you want any hints?
Btw, Fugu, Tom, this REALLY seems like your kind of mindbender. Good luck if you try it.

It's quite possible he wants you to list his IP address.
to find some answer. No luck so far. I'll keep trying.

I found his IP address.
195.47.247.107
I can't figure anything out with this. He is wanting to "list my titles".
I've tried listing:
"hostmaster" "hostmaster funktionen" "funktionen", the listed address, brown university, his IP address (with and without dots), his name (first last, first, last), student, his email address. I got nothing.

Heh, figured it out. Took forever, and it was so stupid. Hit me in the head.
Take the first letter of each company the IP is associated to, and it spells the answer. Lalo already has them listed above.

Level five has made me curse. I know how to solve it, but I'm having a heck of time doing so.

Ok, so flip the image upside down, and delete the orange out of the picture.

Yeah, I'm up to level six. My roommate saw level five instantly, while I was busy hitting myself for level four. Stupid riddle.
Not a big fan of six, either, though.
Also, wow, Nate! You're moving through this faster than I did, I've been chewing on this game since noon.
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
I can not for the life of me figure out 6. Been staring at it for close to an hour total.
Posted by Don Domande (Member # 8287) on :
Okay - y'all got me hooked - what about level 9?
Even with the title of the page, I tried it as a T9 - nothing. Any ideas?
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
give me the answer to number 6, and I'll get there.
Posted by Don Domande (Member # 8287) on :
You're going to hit yourself for number 6 - I did:
SPOILER ***********************
Look at the phone number...this is a phone NUMBER. Of course, you don't need to use the 1-800, but you do need the dash.
Want more?
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Ok, that was stupid beyond reason. I'm pissed. More so than anything else in this riddle.
Posted by Don Domande (Member # 8287) on :
Yeah...that was kind of my reaction to it, too. Ticked me off when I finally got it right - I had tried variations of the same solution, but it wasn't exactly right.
Just figured out 9 - looking at 10 now.
Posted by Don Domande (Member # 8287) on :
Bleh - 10 was too easy - anyone know anything about ISO 3166-1 numeric codes?
Posted by Don Domande (Member # 8287) on :
Okay...here's some hints on the next few:
***************** SPOILERS ******************
Riddle Seven:
Look at the title of the page - find a piano! But be careful - there's an extra hint in the poem about a guy who got something wrong. Do a google search to find out.
Riddle Eight:
Look very carefully at the picture. There's a hint to find a site that gives you another clue. Figure out what's different.
Riddle 9:
You'll need a phone, or a picture of one. The page title is somewhat misleading, but gives you a clue. BIG HINT - it spells a word.
Riddle 10:
This is an odd little phrase at the bottom of the page. Look it up, and see who the title refers to.
