Currently the Never-Ending Riddle doesn't quite live up to it's name as there are only 5 levels (including the root), but the idea is that the puzzle grows daily with players puzzle submissions - so why not pop over and see if you can solve the exisiting levels, then put your thinking hat firmly on your head and come up with your own new level? Quite a cool idea if it takes off [subbed and created by MikeJ].

Whitney
:yeah, i don't understand the one marked 2 either...
some thoughts (not really spoilers but guesses...)
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
it's a wrap and point of no return make me think that we're looking for something in a line which doesn't have an enter, in other words, it wraps around to the next line, but i'm not clear on how to determine that. and that x in the middle of the binary code is messin' with me too. help?
Atrophied
:For #2:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Point of no return means that you don't want any returns (i.e. remove them all)
I hope that helped
Featheredkitten
:i too am stuck on the missing level....are we looking for what the poem's about?
Atrophied
:"Missing"
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
For the "missing" level, figure out where each line comes from, then change the url to what is missing
Featheredkitten
:okay Atrophied
that helped a bit but
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
i've figured out they are all songs lyrics (right?) but they aren't all by the same person.....so i'm confused does it have to do with the HUGE space between the last two lines?
Atrophied
:Hmm,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Not as I recall, check the song titles, not the artists
Featheredkitten
:sweet got it thank you :)
Nemo
:I must be really stupid but I can't even do the root level. I don't think I'm understanding this game at all. Sorry
Janie
:Help on the second riddle (with #1), please!
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
so I get that they're all song lyrics with a number in the title of the song. Then what? I tried typing the numbers into the URL but get nothing
Janie
:Never mind, I got it.
Featheredkitten
:hmmmmmmmmmmm i
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
converted the binary in the source on the second and mulitpyed the two numbers (thoguhts that would be what the x menat for us to do) and got 13523730 and then used the converted that into letter (you know a equals 1 and so on) and got acebcg i dont' think that's it)
Featheredkitten
:man am i pathetic i can't get "it's a wrap" alli can think about are sonic wraps for some reason and i don't get it help please!
Atrophied
:Wrap:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
the x can also denote dimensions... try converting the binary to ascii instead
Shyshdy
:yeah, I can't get the root lvl at all. :(
Atrophied
:Shyshdy: Did you, perchance, read the first spoiler tag in the comments here? It is indeed very spoilery.
Lonnie
:I have the numbers for the first riddle, and put them into the URL, but get nothing. I must have missed something. Hints, please?
SB
:Wrap: so i converted the binary to ascii... now what? i've got
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
80x51
Sam
:Atrophied what do you mean remove the returns? Also does "it's a wrap" refer to word wrap?
Kiefer
:Lonnie...missed something? That's the point, really. Something is missing.
HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
Put them in order...which in the series is missing? Try writing that out in the URL
SB...what you have is, I believe...
HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
the dimensions of the text you need once you transfer all those M's, etc. into Wordpad
Once you do that, you get a message about what to do in the URL.
MikeJ

:I assume the first puzzle is a cut and paste effort. How do I get it to cut and paste?

You're missing half the audio - you're only translating one channel, listen to the other channel of audio, decode it.
Atrophied

Madam Mayhem
:MikeJ
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
i tried every single country and item on the list and none were right. what am i doing wrong?
MikeJ
:Madam Mayhem
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
If you've decoded correctly, you should now have a valid 13-digit barcode. what's special about that bar-code in particular?
Madam Mayhem
:SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
should i be decoding it forward, or should i flip it and decode it that way?
