    hah! I managed to copy/paste that weird code thingy that shows up after the final question... you know the one that refreshes into the next page so fast!

    though, i still don't know what any of it means

    On the second one, I know what the code is. I just can't figure out what I'm suppose to put in the address bar.

    Now why is decoding easier than finding the silly Address? Took me 10 seconds max to figure out the code, but then ten minutes of typing things in. Everything from Latin to French, the man who originally saw this point of view, even all the detail that could be of interest on the wiki. Am I just over thinking this? And sorry if this does spoil things, tried making it as vague as possible...

    EDIT: Alrighty, after typing it in lots of times i got it. Argh. On to #3

    EDIT EDIT: ...Kinda wish there was a code or something that we needed to take to the booth. I'm sad now.

    That page is stopping me from being productive. It's not nearly as trivial as the others. :(

    Wait, is there actually some content to the page Skarsol mirrored? Is it supposed to just zip past? (Obviously it's supposed to, as the html tells it to, but you know what I mean.)

    The part that confuses me, is looking at the location referenced in the expo hall, I'm not sure what, exactly, they might be selling. *scratches head*

    ok, so the page title is "Easy as..."
    Also, if you look through, you can split the list into sets of 3 with one item missing.

    e.g.

    Rock, Paper...scissors missing
    Larry, Moe....Curly missing
    Bacon, Lettuce....tomato missing

    No idea what to do with the list of missing pieces though, or how the highlighted letters from the original sets correspond to it.

    so with this whole thing, after you make it to where you click on the envelope and it tells you to go to the booth and what not... is that the end or is there still something to do?

    My first instinct...
    is that it means nothing, and the highlighted letters are just to throw you off from whatever the real puzzle is. If there is one.

    Also, both puzzles prior to this one were pictograms. Why the sudden change?

    I was just about to do that, lol.

    In addition, I originally thought "Easy as pie" when I say the titile, but now I'm more inclined to think it's
    Easy as 123...

    Hmm. This is messing with my work day, I'll have you know...

    In fact,
    Every group is missing the third member except for one:

    1 Larry
    -- Curly
    9 Moe

    This is likely significant.

    *edit again*
    Well, at least the order I've always heard it said.
