I figure the answer is NINEteen, however, whenever I put it in the URL and hit enter, it goes back to the same page within a second. Do I have the right answer or not? Can someone please give me a hint, or even possibly the answer?

You'll still have to do a tiny bit of work, so you can still feel you haven't cheated. :-)
