I do...Change to Roman numerals and the palindrome becomes clear. (Tried binary at first)

ANYONE got the 'double-B ' rebus yet? It's driving me insane!!

Nothing so far, and it's beginning to piss me off. Did you make it to "byzantine" yet? What sucks is, it might not even start with the letter "B".

Yeah, I tried that one too, along with Beheld_from_the_bottom_half_of_another_B, but that wasn't it either.

Forget about "betwixt."

What's really driving me nuts, though, is my office PC doesn't have any pop-blocker. 2 ads for every wrong answer, 1 or 2 for every load of a question page. It's harder on the spirit than the damned rebus.

Edit: It ain't "fit_to_be_tied" either, dammit.

Unbelievable. I just got it. It's deceptively simple.

Hint #1: One word, B is singular and starts the word.

Hint #2 (sort of gives it away): Something you do with your eyes.


Answer: blink

GOT IT!

Oh, man. Again, now that I know it, I hate myself for taking so long figuring it out. As will you, although this one's oddly simpler than the cards rebus. Okay, cruel payback for yesterday, I'll tease out a charade-like hint or two.

One word.
Sounds like: synonym to key word in the guy's "inspiration" hint.

And, now, like a bastard, I gotta head home. Writing down the new one for the commute...

EDIT: Whoop, got beat! And by someone kind enough to give the answer. Okay, now everyone'll probably be finished by the time I get in manana.

This one wasn't as difficult as that damn blink one to me.

Hint: The answer is site specific

Edit: The next one though....jebus. Just know that it isnt "a legend".

Got it. You either need a really good memory, or a habit of reading recent history.

With a hell of a lot of help from you guys, of course. Last page was fun, so I'll refrain from offering immediate hints.

Yeah, what possible site could they be referring to?

If you Google it, you'll find a website with the same riddle posted. Not only do they not have the right answer, but they'll likely NEVER get the correct response from random Internet surfers.

Aside from Dr. Nibbles hint, what helped me piece it together was the oddly phrased ALL AND NOTHING.

Right, got the Deserving of Fire riddle, now I'm staring at the "No, there are no errors on this page" bastard.

Oh, this one's gonna bug me. Quick yes/no hint, Gio, please: is the hint hinted at on the page buried in the source code? After the site-specific answer to the last one, I can't tell if I'm fooling myself again looking for another one. And if so, what the hell am I looking for in there?
Graham, voight, now that I've figured out the magic of Black Text, I'll drop the biggest clues you'll need ('cause I'm gonna need all the help I can get on this next one!)

HINT(S): This riddle you're stuck on, where is IT? And (okay, 2 hints) how did you get there, and (3!) where else there have "all" and "nothing" been found?

Last Hint of All: It's a virtual, made-up "place" by the site's author.

Edit: Good call on the black text, Gio. Anyone still working on these there's a fat hint in my question to him, so I blacked it out.

Oh, for crying out loud. Might as well Black Text my self-flaggelation, as I already gave up the big hint without realizing. I was scouring around in there half the morning! Trying to suss out something from the code -- my html skillz are jack and squat -- and didn't see a damn thing. Figured either I was wrong to be looking there, or there was some bit of code-monkey jargon I just didn't know that was my "clue." I was totally stumping myself. Thanks, Gio, at least you made me look there again! And suddenly, finally, bam, I see it, there's the hint, right at the top -- nothing clever, just an actual fucking one-sentence exact HINT, like we would have written here on the board. DUH. I just kept scrolling past it! For HOURS today. I think it was the words "below a road map" that kept me looking around the bottom of the page, dammit.

And now I only hate myself for being unobservant. You're right, that last one's kinda fun and, actually, fair. If you keep your eyes open, he types with an exasperated sigh.

Thank god, the long national nightmare is over. Thanks for all the help, everyone!

That's gotta hurt...especially in 'LEAF'.

Bump. I was searching for a thread and found this one. Thought a new generation of puzzle people could play.
