Maybe I misunderstand . . . I read the suggestion as asking for a link at the
bottom of the riddle section's page that points to the page with all the
numbers 1-350 as links, e.g.,
http://www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml/lw/01fftd/numbered.htm for Book 1 -- not
asking for a link at the bottom of the page to the section answer.
What I do when I get to the riddle sections is hit the link to "Table of
Contents" at the bottom of the page, then hit the link for "Numbered Sections",
and then hit the number ("67" in the example). But, I'd be happy with a direct
"numbered sections" link added, since it saves a click. But clicking through
the ToC is just about as easy and doesn't require new code.

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...
