Ok, I'm stuck on #4 I tried using urllib like the source hints... but, when I run my automation of the process of typing in the new nothing, I run through about 15 pages, then I notice that they add an extra number in the text. 60167 or something like that This is encouraging. 1) I'm must be getting somewhere--it's not just while 1 random number generator 2) The way they set it up, it looks like they expected me to make the mistake that i made to mislead me to a wrong side link. 3) This means that I must be doing the right thing. Unfortunately, after about 50 pages or so, it stops, apparently using too much memory, or something causing the computer to lock badly enough I have to wait for 5 minutes for the keyboard interupt to work. I believe it also hints in the source that I should do this about 300 times? I just want to know if I'm on the right track, and maybe a slight push in a better, less memory consuming direction...
Can you help?
