There's a blizzard going on here in Philadelphia... so I'm going to give away some AFG+ subscriptions

I'll probably do a few riddles for you. 1st 3 people to email me a correct answer will get free subs. 6 months for 1st, 3 months for 2nd, 1 month for 3rd. My email is tasselfoot@armorgames.com and make sure to title it Blizzard Day Riddles and include your Armor username! ALL CORRECT ANSWERS WILL BE NUMBERS. All of these riddles are original Tass creations.

1st riddle (posted at 11:20am EST 1/23/16):
"The path gets harder with each step. Perhaps you could get assistance from south of the border?"

There are a few hundred numbers I could derive from this by equally rational means. I'm going to need a more exact goal than "it is a number", unless you'd like me to list all of them.

@fishpreferred I'm sure you can, but they won't fit the clue. Use the clue in quotes at the start to figure it out. The first sentence tells you what to do. The second sentence is mostly confirmation / a small second step.

I've used this puzzle on 2 different forums previously and it's been solved. So I'm sure someone here can solve it (and my others), too.

A hint for riddle #1: Use a well known sequence.

Hi, it's me... Ugh, got bored and checked out ag. Cool riddle, I'll give it a shot. Although it seems more like a puzzle than a riddle.

I haven't seen an answer submitted from @Gantic, although he can't win any prizes

@Qnopsik is the first person to submit a correct answer. I've had 1 other very, very close submission and 1 submission that's on the path.

I'll post up another one after I get 2 more correct submissions.

@Gantic "This one's pretty easy. "

But what if it's not, and your answer isn't even close :P
You can't be sure unless you check it :P
