A Riddle :)

Relpats-eht.com (which was really popular here a while back) is gone, and as the author says:

On the subject of the contest that was previously on this site...

I previously had a very cheap host with insecure, unchangeable passwords. Because of this, what would be commonly called a script kiddie used a brute force approach to gain access to the contents of my site over FTP. This in turn compromised the sanctity of the contest, thus, I shut it down. I have not released the answer to the final page, and I don't plan on it. I also have no plans to make another contest and no plans to care in the event any more people come whinning to me about how I should rethink my previously stated lack of plans. Thus I now implore anyone reading this to stop asking.

For those who don't know it was an online riddle game. A similiar one is Not Pr0n.

Anyways, I made my own - Yes, I know this is a little bit of self-promotion, but I really want to see how far people can get. There are ten puzzles to solve, starting at http://puzzle.kevinjb.com

You suck. Have you even tried it yourself? There is nothing on that page. At all. Not even in the URL.

I got the first one in about 3 minutes. I'm not bothering to continue, I only did that because they were complaining about it in #tcpa. XD

I'm really confused... what exactly are we supposed do be acomplishing on the page? There is a way to "advance", yes? I don't think I quite see the objective...

Not going anywhere, but I don't know if there's any way short of guessing.

No guessing involved. The farthest I know anyone has made it is to the third puzzle (Jim E).

I'm really confused... what exactly are we supposed do be acomplishing on the page? There is a way to "advance", yes? I don't think I quite see the objective...

Yes. Basically, the objective is to find the objective, hope that helps

It's a riddle. Once you've solved the puzzle you'll know where to go next, and there you will find another one.

Haha well that's no fun

My game is better, you not only have to find the objective, but the game itself too.

andy mentioned something about the 404...
but I couldn't find anything useful on it or in it's source.

Yes I know. Andy's a horrible person for giving away hints

Yeah, well, I'm a horrible person for not being able to solve it with the hint!

I'm on the third puzzle now, but I can't figure out the next one.

Oh com'on! You are one of the people who SHOULD be able to do this.
