I posted some new info on the yahoo site. Please refrain from posting info here, or in any public forum, especially the word n e t r i d d l e since I used a google search to get the info. Also, those posting yahoo ID's, you need to add yourself to the yahoo group using the link on page 3 if you haven't already.
OK, this is the last time I am bumping this thread. I am at 2.27, the "gateway" to the third stage. If anyone is still interested, I can help get you from 2.8 (where we were stuck previously) to 2.27, or can get you the URL to 2.27. Just login to theYahoo site and I'll start posting help there. I will also post in that location the places where I got all the information I used to solve (or sometimes steal answers to) all those riddles.
Please read the entire thread and you will find your answer... Then if you still are intruiged, and have gone beyond the point where this particular thread will help you, join the Yahoo Group and you can help us do the rest.
