Nice! But you can 'cheat' by submiting an answer and hitting 'back' [wink]. You might want to fix that.
LOL! I don't konw how it works.. Funny though.
You can cheat even easier than that. Just look at the page source. Example:
Herm....I think I see the answer there. Other than that, its pretty well done!
<form action="rose.php" method="post"> Please enter answer here: <input type="text" name="guess"> <input type="hidden" name="answer" value="10"> <input type="hidden" name="score" value="1"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /></form>Herm....I think I see the answer there. Other than that, its pretty well done!

It's such a "Doh!" moment when you figure it out :)
Yes, it really is! It took me about 2 hours to finally figure it out, and when I did, I could have kicked myself!

Well, that doesn't really matter, because the object of the game is to figure out how I got that answer, not the answer itself. Yes, you might be able to get a perfect score by doing it that way, but that will not teach you how to get the answer. Which is the whole point.

Not really sure what you mean by this. How does hitting back help you? Read the comments above about the object of the game. Do you still consider this a cheat? If so, please explain how hitting back can help you.
Thanks all for your comments. Although I don't think either issue brought up could really be considered cheating, I would like to fix them, if possible. Any suggestions?

Here is the full source, minus the parts that would give away the secret. :) Also note that index.php is an exact copy of rose.php, except that index.php does not use DisplayAnswer($answer, $guess, &$score) and it sends the score to rose.php as 0.
