Here is something for you cache page hackers.

I started messing with various color attributes in signatures a long 
time ago.

I have never thought to color code hints.

Here is a cache that, i think by accident, they were color coding the 
hints to the different colored ester eggs. What happened is that the 
hint turned the color of the egg they were describing.  The hints don't 
decrypt correctly for some reason and there is an open color tag that 
messes up the rest of the page at the bottom but it wont take an expert 
to close the tags and use the colored hints in some sort of sneaky way.  
Here is how they typed the hints.. you can see the result. Each line 
turned a different color. Thats sort of neat. I didn't know that would 
work.

[purple]  log 
[green]  log
[yellow]  dead log
[pink] close to green
[blue] nest
[orange] base
[final] perched               

Each new tag forces the previous tag closed but the last one orange tag 
is left open.
