The third clue - it's not what you see, it's what you don't - helped to clinch it. At that stage, I thought it was probably an unlisted subdirectory (or file) named cricket instead of any term or link bearing on cricket embedded within the pages. So I tried a wild shot by trying for http://exchangeprovider.net/cricket Came up with nothing. > How to fuind it. simple. go to any page except the home page, e.g. > http://www.exchangeprovider.net/ecta.cgi?page=buygold > > go to the URL and after the equals sign type in cricket. Now to find a file named after cricket. I was considering the search engines when I noticed that the cgi in the url does the job. I actually plugged in "?page=cricket.htm" to the cgi and luckily, something worked. Michael's next page said no, I have not found the egg yet (disappointment) but that I was heading in the right direction (hope). A couple of hurdles more to be cleared, the password and the question. The second took more time. I hadn't the vaguest idea when the first gold coin was minted in the US. Ah, but there is always trusty Google. After a few tries, I found on the search engine the very page of history that Michael had posted up, with the answer - 1795. A neat animated gif came up - end of problem. Thanks, Michael, Paul and eCTA for a most interesting challenge and the eight grams of gold! Regards, Chandra @ Goloka Candra dasa http://PLANETS9.com > You will go to a new page not seen before.
