I can't find who originally pointed me to this site, but thanks for the distraction.

Am I missing something? I don't see much beside a bug and a link in the html source which leads to ninebows.com...

Did you follow the link? That's where it begins to get interesting :) Half the fun is figuring out what the puzzle is trying to get you to do.

How many steps did you get to?I get to the /two thing, but then my brain starts to hurt.

I've been staring at /two for a while now. I've tried numerous variations of Ceasar Shift cypers, but no luck. I have a feeling the repeated (23-1) (23-1) is significant somehow; that's how I'm currently approaching this.

Problem is, there's never a middle schooler around when you need one...
