Hacker Puzzle

I got this link from a community.

http://www.freestuffhotdeals.com/hacker/1.html

I solved it, so just wanted to post the solutions. I did not solve on my own, took the help of Google :-) .. I am not a geek to know Latin, German, and Spanish numbers. But the hints to the puzzle are pretty simple. You have to think, needs simple logical (not complex) thinking.

Lets start with page one. This is what the description of the page.

To solve this puzzle you will have to find secret files on our server. HINT - This is page number one. That should be pretty obvious, because it has the numeral "1" above. But there's a problem... there is no link to page 2! How on earth will you find page 2 without a handy link taking you to it? You have to think like a hacker! To get to page 2, you'll have to play around with the web address (URL) of this page. Change it a little, then go there. If you're right, you'll get the next page. If you're wrong, you'll get an ugly error message.

Displays 1. So the hint for the next level is numeral (2).

Page 2 - Displays two. Hint is it is written in alphabets. so the url to the next page would be three.

Page 3 - Displays iii. Hint here is roman numbers. so the url to the next page would be roman 4 (iv).
"What I have figured out - The hint is what it displays on the page. The next page would be the next number in that form."

Page 4 - ruof - Four written from the back. evif

Page 5 - ffiivvee - In the word five, each alphabet is written twice. ssiixx

Page 6 - 666666 - Number 6 is displayed six times. (If number 6 is displayed 6 times then seventh page is number 7 displayed 7 times)7777777

Page 7 - uranus - is the seventh planet among nine planets. Eighth planet is Neptune

Page 8 - acht - Eight is called acht in Dutch. Nine is called Neun.

Page 9 - sept - September is the ninth month of the year oct
"What I have figured out - Every hint is related to numbers in increasing order."

Page 10 - Playing card with number 10. The series of cards is 1 to 10, Jack, Queen, King.

Page 11 - eLeVeN - The trick is alternate letters are in capital. tWeLvE (Earlier I thought web pages are not case sensitive.)

Page 12 - 144 - Square of 12. square of 13 is 169

Page 13 - This page is kind of tricky. At one stage I thought the game is over. But then somehow I got a doubt because all the pages were white and this one was black. I just dragged my mouse and then I saw the hint :) number13. Obviously the next page is number14

Page 14 - catorce - is the number is Spanish. 15 is called quince.

Page 15 - buchanan - is the 15th president of united states. 16th president of united states is Abraham Lincoln.

Page 16 - sedecim - is called 16 in Latin. 17 is called septendecim.

Page 17 - 10001 - 17 is represented in binary as 10001. 18 is 10010.

Page 18 - argon - is the 18th element in the periodic table. potassium is the nineteenth element in the periodic table.

Page 19 - ojofuffo - 19 is ojofuffo minus one alphabet to each letter, and twenty minus one you get uxfouz

Page 20 - icosagon - is 20 sided pentagon. 21 sided pentagon is called icosihenagon.

Page 21 - 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,....,10946 - Fibonacci Numbers. The 22nd Fibonacci number is 17711. (I don't have that much energy to calculate 22 Fibonacci numbers. I wrote a simple java program to find out this :-)).

Page 22 - Aoozy, Booyy, Cooxy,.....,Vooey - this is some series. I observed first letter is capital letter. 2nd, 3rd, 5th letters are the same. The first letter is increasing in alphabetical order (A,B,C,D,...) and fourth letter is decreasing in the alphabetical order (Z,Y,X,W...). So After V it is 'W','o','o' are the same, before E is 'd' and 'y' is same. Combining all these letters forms 'Woody'.




And all I see is the granny dancing. Yahoo! I solved it.

Going Home

Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I am going to my home. This is making me so excited :-), well this shows how much I miss my home. It is so excited to meet my family and friends after couple of years. I can't believe myself that I am going home, and I'm going to have fun. I still remember the days I spent bunking college and went to movies, restaurants (those days won't come though) but I can have the same fun at the roadside panipuri :-P hahaaa hmmmm drooling.


I am just wondering if I miss this place :-P damn sure there is nothing to miss here except for the friends. Sometimes we never know unless we miss something. Ohh!! wait What am I gibbering. huh!!! Don't read this stuff and waste your valuable time.

Lake

Whenever I think of this lake, I feel it sooo amusing. My first visit to lake, I rate its kind of adventurous. As in the picture, it gives me a feeling of woods. Wooooow!! Its a different experience the very first time, but now I got habituated with that path to lake. Whenever I feel I am lost in my own world, or isolated or something kind of loneliness, I go to this lake and it makes me so refreshing :-). Ofcourse, not just loneliness, I go when I am happy, I just find reasons to go there :-). In my list of visiting places, this stands first, and then other places.



The very first time I visited this lake, it was in the mid-of October. I thought I had never seen such beautiful thing in my life so far. But I missed my camera to capture the golden line on the sky, and the beautiful fall colors. I can feel the beauty of the lake with reflections of the fall colors in its clear blue water. It was amazing. Later I never got a chance to go to lake until the end of winter. In Winter, I can sense the silence of the lake, isolated, deserted, frozen, no ducks to give her company, waiting for someone to give/get company at the same time having its own time for herself.



The time has passed so fast, its already Spring. I see children playing around, cycling, people fishing, jogging, enjoying the nature (fresh natural air), capturing the beauty of her in the camera and some people enjoying the silence of the lake.



Isn't it similar to our lives ?? When we are isolated, feeling of wanting a company, being cut off and disconnected from our people, or when we have so many friends, that we are tired of partying and need time for ourself. Ahh!! I experienced both situations, isolated when I came far away from my house. I used to think "pal pal pal pal har pal kaise kategi pal har pal har pal" :-) and when I got so many friends, and had no time for myself, I wanted to run away from everyone hahaaa. So weird, if we have people around us, we try to run away from them and if we do not have company, we have a feeling of longing for a company. This is what life is :-)

Snow Yesterday

It snowed again. I did not expect snow as the weather was hot. By the time I woke up on Sunday morning it was snowing. It was soooo beautiful outside, I did not dare to go out but managed to capture few pictures :-)

Plant: Always stick to me ... I appear more beautiful than withered out

I wish my heart is as pure and fair as snow

Blowing snow

Looks like nobody stepped out to leave their foot prints :-)

Somehow sometimes when this is related to life and people it makes us sick just as the colorless and boring life. I feel it is good only to some extent as far as it doesn't trouble me, but of course once it starts troubling we can plow snow by some or the other means.
I know some people who try to intrude into our personal life. uhhhhh .... I wish there is a way to plow a person's nature of poking into one's personals.

Valentines Day

Today is an adventurous day. Last night it snowed heavily and all the roads were not shoveled. I had to change the trains and catch buses :-(. Well, whatever I don't want to talk about that.

Even in this inclement weather, I see people carrying flower bouquets for their dear ones. First I thought they were crazy :-) That went past my mind with work. In the mid-afternoon my friend called me and said she received a flower bouquet and a teddy from her valentine. She was so happy and excited. Then that scene in the morning popped up, and of course with my creativity tried to imagine people happily spending time together.

That thought itself was rejuvenating and I was filled with happiness, at the same time I was gloomy, that I do not have any friend to receive bouquets, teddy bears or last but not the least chocolates. heehaw

Well for my type of a person, I think I am better off without a valentine. hahahahaaa

Leave Application

After a long time I got time to blah blah blah in my blog :-) I got a mail from one of my friends and that was very funny. I edited some of those and thought I will post here.

An employee want to apply for a leave, and these are the possible ways of applying leave(Just for fun)

-- "Please grant me leave, Since I have to go to my village to sell my land along with my wife, please sanction me one-week leave"

-- From an employee who was performing the "mundane" ceremony of his 10 year old son:
"as I want to shave my son's head, please leave me for two days"

-- From an employee who was performing his daughter's wedding:
"as I am marrying my daughter, please grant a weeks leave.."

-- "As my mother-in-law has expired and I am only one responsible for it, please grant me 10 days leave" haha

-- From an employee who need half day leave:
"Since I've to go to the cremation ground at 10 o-clock and I may not return, please grant me half day casual leave"

-- From an employee who is sick:
"I am suffering from fever, please declare one-day holiday"

Enough of fun for now. Will post some of them in my next post

One Liner

I was having some bad and good experiences from past two weeks and these one liners are the result of those experiences.

"The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject " edited - all help" to depend are you free"

“Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless”

Snow Again

I went for a walk, and went to some store near to our work place. I happened to see a truck that was sprinkling salt on the roads. I was wondering what was wrong with that. When I was returning something happened, and I almost shouted out of joy(it started snowing). Wooooooow, I love when it is snowing. I wish I was out in the snow but I have to return to my work, I felt very bad that I couldn't play in snow.

It is snowing outside, and I am sitting in the office, making every chance to get up from my cube and look at the window to see the snow. One of my colleague asked what was wrong with me. What would I say :-) heheeee

When I was outside, I tried my best to get hold of the snowflake. I strained my eyes to find the kind of snowflakes in this picture but to no avail. One day I will definitely take a picture of that :-D hahahaaaa
