The First Door
Puzzle fans may like to try out The First Door, it's a URL changing puzzle, although it is a little different from the norm, having no source code clues, and requiring no graphics manipulation software. Personally I haven't got too far, being stuck with some broken dominos (see above), which hopefully will make more sense to you when you get to them than they did to me. Here's what I think is an official description of the game that got sent through to me:

A new quest began at 12 o'clock tonight called The First Door. A series of tricky puzzles where the answers of them link up to form the idea of the quest: Find the person who needs help: me. I am hiding somewhere in the world and only through the answers to the puzzles can you find my location! I need to be so cryptic in case those who are looking for me find me first. No hunting in the source code or need for photo manipulation software, all you need is the Internet, some skill and the ability to learn things you didn't know before. Please, help me.

Some things are beyond my control. Don't worry, it should be up again soon, once I've found a way around. All those on the mailing list should have received something about this.

If you want to be on the mailing list to find out when I've found a way, email to thefirstdoor[AT]thefirstdoor.co.uk

For Philospher's Paradox, think of the Philospher's stone, which has to do with Alchemy, when people believed that they could turn less precious metals, like lead, to gold. Think about how YOU can turn lead to gold.

And Angel, i'm not there yet, so i'm afraid I can't help.

Never posted before but I had to say it : Got through the final door at last ! But I haven't found The First Door yet, I was too caught up with the puzzles to care for the hints so I'll have to go back on my steps.

All the hints you really need to get through the game are in the first pages; I wished I had found the first door back then to be able to come up with ideas at the same time as the ones who started the quest first but a big thank you to them anyway for having helped me develop my thinking. So thank youj Mr. ii, Perhill, Sarah, Jazelock, Loon, Wilbert... and of course The First Door.

That being said, I'll be happy to help anyone who's stuck. I'll give you a nudge in the right direction. emailme if you want.

just take it letter by letter and count the transformation in the alphabet then apply to the letter you deciphered out of the code

Frotter -

how far are you on "shall I..", I don't want to give too much away? Pages 14-16 on this site should help though, someone actually thought of the answer before they knew it in one of the spoiler tags.
