Web-Hopper Riddle

[kathy]

oh man well of to look for Adventure game in the am
if anybody figures it out please help
nighty night

He was basically telling everyone not to give out the answers, that what you learn in solving the riddle is more valuable than the answer (which I agree). I hope that wasn't the hint though...if it was, I am going to have to quit. It's too frustrating without even a little help.

i dont think his "hint" would be telling us not to help one another out, it would be a hint

[Strat]

agreed, but still frustrated I have attacked this from every angle I can think of

Hiya everyone i have joined this forum just for this riddle because it is stressing me out i am on the same puzzle as everyone else i think (mary had a little lamb one?) and i just can not solve it no matter what way i look at it. Anyone here have any ideas? If so please help me out thank very much in advance

I think he's telling us that, in order to reach #42, we need to use something from one of the prior web pages that we visited.

[Strat]

It doesn't look like anyone anywhere has solved it yet. I have to leave in about 8 minutes, so I guess I will be back tomorrow...best of luck to everyone.

I just found web-hopper today. So far, I'm to the one that looks like this:

YPJC VYVELA, DPIR UZRBISLNII FD NYUKTI,
USXFYIJA TQH METHJSA QTWBLJMK NCVFES
FQBP PPQJ FJOLCW, AMQ XO BJLLQ BRE UVLTYK?

I know what question it's asking...

What number, when multiplied by itself, produces the largest possible number with nine digits, all of which are unique?

The only thing is...I suck at math and have no idea what the answer is!

would u like the answer?

[praisingfool]

I figured that one out, thanks. Now I'm stuck on the Mary had a little lamb one. Mr Logic's hint

It is written: "Just as in Adventure Game, information gathered along path can often find much usefulness later on!"

is really no help!! ARGH! My brain is dead!!

[Unregistered769]

now you've just joined about everyone else i think

[praisingfool]

Ok, so if what we've learned so far is supposed to help...what have we learned? i don't remember all the answers. and none of them seem to go together...it's just random information.

[Unregistered769]

yup i have backtracked many times and can't find any sort of clue towards this one

[praisingfool]

Ok. There has to be a logical way to do this. Mr. Logic, we really need another hint!

[omfgitsjenn]

i'm stuck on this one too. gosh... my head hurts and i've gone through a litre of diet coke and i wont be able to sleep all night.
