So far it's terribly easy, and rather unhackerish..
Nineteen was a bit tricky, and googling for extra information yielded a page with all the answers.. (You need extra information for some of the steps anyway, cause I for one have no idea which presidents the US has had)

I agree that Nineteen is the worst. As a hint for anyone stuck on it Ojofuffo is not "Nineteen" in any language.
As for the presidents, I don't have them memorized in order, but being an american, I was able to recognize that "Buchanan" was one, which allowed me to google straight to the correct answer.

I've recently started touting this site - which is probably similar (I haven't checked Barukh's link yet)
I've noticed that in the two-three weeks since I first solved it, walkthroughs have appeared on Google, making searches for supplementary data on some of the clues hazardous if you want to avoid spoilers...

I stumbled into another one..my friend pointed it to me.. www.archin.in/quiz.html
Just in case for the first clue if you are from those non-cricket playing nations.. the answer is cricket. The picture is that of Brett Lee, Australian fast bowler. Happy quizzing.. i haven't gone past 8th or 9th page as of now..

I can't even get past #2 on that. The answer is rome and I tried putting it in forward and backwards and it doesn't work.

It's not rome. He was originally buried there but his body was moved to another city.
