I'm stuck on the 4th one... the one where the alphabet is sounded out phonetically. I realize it's the alphabet, I realize it's phonetically sounded out. I can't seem to put in the proper answer though. I've tried everything I can think of related to the alphabet. Someone help meh!

i think thats actually the third one


if you actually read the alphabet along with whats written you'll notice something is amiss


i accidentally skipped ahead a level by guessing wrong on my current question, but apparently getting the next level right :P

Oh, and a word of warning, this shit is maddeningly addictive. I've gotten nothing done since it came on my radar :( Also, there's a couple of riddles that require you to visit the forum in some form or other, and a few make use of other utilities such as Google and Wordpad.

It has nothing to do with math. Well actually, it does, but not how you're thinking. Ok, that was a terrible hint. ctrl-a is your friend.

wtf is the answer to 7? I looked through the forums and noticed how the guy purposely mispelled it. Judging by the way people say the answer to 5 got them to 8 I am leaning towards the short story "The Letters" but how the fuck is it mispelled?

Can't figure out 57 for the life of me ... I must be overcomplicating it.

Zamtuk, you're looking for a short story ... ignore the "the" when you answer.

I started last night and got as far as 35 before I went to bed. I am heading home now and I am more likely to work on this than play EQ2 or WoW. ;)

Haha, yeah. I've actually taken a break from it for the past day or so, my head was starting to hurt. I'm on 54, so I can't help you on 57 Faerin.

And yes people, write it all down! I have a .txt file that lists each puzzle #, page title, and the resultant .html answer. I also have a .txt file of all my brainstorming and trying to figure stuff out, in case a puzzle references something I've forgotten in an old one.

This is why I stopped at 30.. forgive me, but if something is self-referential it stops being a riddle. It needs to make sense in and of itself, not if you look back at the last 8 answers, or that one from 25 answers ago, etc :P

It could be called code breaking perhaps, but it's not riddles.

Eh. I look at it as one big progressive puzzle, not really riddles. If you're hung up on a semantic and it prevents you from enjoying, then I guess that's cool if you're cool with it. I personally like the challenge, riddle or not :D

If you wrote down the answers, you should already have the answer ;) Tadaa! Read over your answers and look for some commonalities.
