im not clever enough for this, I know acht is eight in german so presumed it would be nine next which is the english and german way of spelling it.

Solutions to the problems. All of these require you changing the url to the new text.

1: 2

2: two = three.html

3: iii (roman numeral for 3) = iv

4: ruof (four written backwards) = evif

5: ffiivvee (double the letters) = ssiixx

6: 666666 (six sixes) = 7777777

7: uranus (seventh planet) = neptune

8: acht (german for eight) = neun

9: sept (short version of september) = oct

10: 10 of clubs = jack (next highest in the rank of cards)

11: eLeVeN (every other letter capitlised) = tWeLvE

12: 144 (12 x 12) = 169 (13 x 13)

13: number13 (need to use select all to highlight the 'hidden' text) = number14

14: catorce (spanish for 14) = quince

15: buchanan (Pat Buchanan, 15th President of the USA) = lincoln (Abraham Lincoln)

16: sédecim (latin for 16) = septendecim

17: 10001 (binary for 17) = 10010

18: argon (18th item in the periodic table) =

19: ojofuffo (letters of the word 'nineteen' incremented by one letter in the alphabet) = uxfouz

20: icosagon (twenty sided polygon) = icosihenagon

21: = 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... 10946 (Fibonacci number sequence) = 17711

22: Aoozy, Booyy, Cooxy, ... Vooey (first letter is the alphabetical sequence, then oo, next letter is at the opposite end of the alphabet, so b = y (second from last), then add y) = Woody


That's it
