[QUOTE=JustAnotherGeek] See? They…messed up their own pattern. They finished the phrase for thirteen, instead of using the first part of the phrase for 14. [/QUOTE] Dude, that seriously pisses me off, for the reason you gave. It doesn’t fit at _all_ with the rest of the thing up till then. Grr. And is that some common phrase that’s passed me by? I feel better about not figuring it out now. ---

[QUOTE=Left Hand of Dorkness] For 15-\>16, I’m trying: For 15-\>16, I’m trying: … WHat am I doing wrong? [/QUOTE] **LHOD** … [spoiler]Your first URL looks correct, but when I copy and paste it out of your spoiler box into my browser, the first “dot” in the morse code part shows up as a weird vertical bar. Try erasing, then retyping, that first morse code character. Looks like maybe you copy/pasted from the page and picked up a weird “invisible” ascii character in the process. But your first URL appears correct. The final morse code letter ends with a dot, then you should have the extra “dot” as part of the “.html” [/spoiler] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-me-with-this-stupid-idiotic-dumb-jerky-game/364513.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-me-with-this-stupid-idiotic-dumb-jerky-game/364513.md?page=4)
