My friend asked me to try this, but I have had no luck. (Besides on part one, ZE)
Apparently, part 1 was how to count 50 dollar bills...
zero
fifty
one (hundred)
fifty
two (hundred)
... ... ...
fifty
one-thousand.
So it was TH, not ZE.
Part 2 is up for grabs, the hint is http://www3.kingdomofloathing.com
Part 3 was the classification...
KIngdom
PHylum
CLass
etc...
Since part 2 was never given up, I'm guessing parts 4 and 5 are still up!
From what I googled, the part two letters are all Abbreviations of certain Organizations, Businesses, or Groups. Like the last 4 or 5 are all dealing with Math.
