*laughs*

the _ is just to do spacing, since I don't know how in HTML. And I'm too lazy to look it up.

16 is not the right answer though.

If you put the table inside <pre> </pre> pair of tags, whatever spacing you set will be preserved.

Thanks... I'll try that next time. If I can remember it.

What does pre stand for? Preserve?

I think it stands for "preformatted".

That would make sense. Maybe I can remember it that way.

*grin* Good luck.

Aaah.

  will give you a space. You can do '  ' and get two spaces in a row.

*grins*

Cool, thanks. Though how much you want to bet I won't remember this by the time I get another one of these puzzles?

*grins* Well, you never know.

If it helps you remember: 'nbsp' stands for 'Non-Breaking SPace'.

Perhaps. I usually do better when I know the Whys ... and not just the whats.
