点击图片跳转到新的网页：
and the next nothing is 44827
当前页面的 url: http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/linkedlist.php?nothing=12345
这应该是一个类似链表的结构，用 44827 替换当前网页的 url:
and the next nothing is 45439
用代码实现，看看最终会怎么样。这里需要使用 urllib.request 来发起 http 请求，获取返回的内容，然后使用正则表达式匹配 nothing 的值，替换掉原来的 nothing 循环下去。
#!/usr/bin/env/ python3
import urllib.request
import re
import time
baseURL = "http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/linkedlist.php?nothing=%s"
# nothing 初始值
nothing = "12345"
while True:
url = baseURL % nothing
with urllib.request.urlopen(url, timeout=30) as f:
response = f.read().decode("utf-8")
print(response)
# 使用正则表达式匹配到 nothing 的值，如果匹配到，替换 nothing，匹配不到，退出循环
result = re.search(r"\d+", response)
if result:
nothing = result.group()
else:
break
# 暂停 1s，请求不要太频繁
time.sleep(1)
运行了一会儿，输出如下内容：
and the next nothing is 44827
and the next nothing is 45439
<font color=red>Your hands are getting tired </font>and the next nothing is 94485
...省略很多行
and the next nothing is 3875
and the next nothing is 16044
Yes. Divide by two and keep going.
根据提示，nothing 的当前值是 16044，把 nothing 的值设置为 str(16044/2) 继续运行，又输出了如下内容：
and the next nothing is 25357
and the next nothing is 89879
... 省略很多行
and the next nothing is 82682
There maybe misleading numbers in the
text. One example is 82683. Look only for the next nothing and the next nothing is 63579
页面内容中出现了两次数字，根据提示应该取后面的数字，需要修改正则表达式，使得匹配规则更加精确。
#!/usr/bin/env/ python3
import urllib.request
import re
import time
baseURL = "http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/linkedlist.php?nothing=%s"
# nothing 初始值
nothing = str(63579)
while True:
url = baseURL % nothing
with urllib.request.urlopen(url, timeout=30) as f:
response = f.read().decode("utf-8")
print(response)
# 使用正则表达式匹配到 nothing 的值，如果匹配到，替换 nothing，匹配不到，退出循环
result = re.search(r"the next nothing is (\d+)", response)
if result:
nothing = result.group(1)
else:
break
# 暂停 1s，请求不要太频繁
time.sleep(1)
继续运行，又输出了如下内容：
and the next nothing is 37278
and the next nothing is 53548
...省略很多行
and the next nothing is 52899
and the next nothing is 66831
peak.html
最后输出了 peak.html，这就是下一关的入口了http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/peak.html。
