It didn't stop me guessing the answer based on the others, but now I wonder whether I might need the missing piece for level 13. Anyone else encounter this? Nope, that piece is just a truncated version that opens fine otherwise in Firefox which then gives you the piece that you correctly guessed at; no hints there.

Yup, I do remember the process, and it hasn't been any help so far.. no adjustable URLs leading to interesting files, no 'dealable' images, no nada.

I found it finally, how evil that was! I really fell for it too, until I paid more attention to that error message.

How evil and devious. I found the hint without Googling, BTW, but can see how Google would have led you to the solution. I for one, will never again believe the claim there is no more evils..

Remember how you could manipulate the URL of the image of level 12 to get to the data file for that level. Now continue that manipulation and don't believe the suggestion about no more evils. *Then* pay close attention to what you find. If you get a 'Not Found' you either didn't pay attention in the previous step and have passed over the hint, or you searched in the wrong direction.

No - the hint is associated with another error message Assuming a web browser (firefox in my case) is being used. ;) I got no error message when I retrieved that URL with urllib and examined the result..

If you're expecting obvious solutions, you won't like the rest of the challenge. ;) What have you tried? Have you studied the source of the page, tried the link, seen what you get back from that link and then adjusted the URL according to what you got back? From there on out, just follow the chain, the linked list. Martijn Pieters signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
