I can see this starting a whole new means of generating traffic for websites, or promo's for new movies, etc. "The first person to solve this web-puzzle wins 2 free tickets, money, big prize,etc." (Of course you need to leave your email address, and check a box requesting notification, haha :-) ) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]
