Just my two cents worth. I think the current setup is just fine., The puzzles in the book are supposed to be hard. And when you read the books in "real life" you don't get the option to "skip ahead" to the right answer. So just having the footnote on the correct section number seems to work just fine for me., Although it might be alright to put a Spoiler Alert at the bottom of each puzzle (under the TOC link). Something like : [??] Click Here to skip ahead if your stuck. That way if some users get REALLY, REALLY, stuck on a puzzle they can choose to cheat just a little. But making it an obvious option just doesn't seem right for some reason. If it's at the bottom of the page in the footnotes and the link makes it obvious that you shouldn't do this unless you have no other option, I think people will be less apt to just skip the puzzles from the start. Just my opinion...

(Section 67 is the answer). However, there's no interface to do so within the story itself. I determined how to do it by adjusting the URL of the page to reflect section 67, however not everyone is going to think of that. You may want to do one of two things: 1) Put instructions on how to adjust the URL to turn to another chapter. 2) Code in an open numeric window, possible responses 1 - 350 and a 'go' or 'enter' button that will access the entered section number. Either of these applied to other books, Lone Wolf/Gray Star/Freeway Warrior/etc should help when one of those random number puzzles crops up. Regards, J.
