Apparently, I’m a Web Ninja

nailed it

nailed it

You almost had me on step 3, but other than that – cake! Cool idea though.

Here are some hints for those less skilled-

  1. View the source
  2. Firebug, Edit
  3. View the source of the page you’re trying to get to (if you know how); notice any evil javascript?
  4. View the source, scroll right
  5. TWSIWTPVSK? Yikes! Hint: “_ _ _ _ _ N I N J A” (the rest is trial and error, buddy)

And that’s all I have to say about that.

Good luck.
