Um, I can't even get the game to load right. There seems to be some blue text on top of some black text with a splotch of red in it.

I finished the game in 1 seconds.
You deserve an A++!
I still don't get the algorithm...
You can view the source and see the javascript for the game, not very big and I couldn't see anything that gave away the secret. Anyone care to enlighten me?
