Is it wanting me to come up with 11 questions, or if I just come up with the encrypted message is that fine? I did the latter, and it's pretty good, but as far as riddles go, I'm better solving them than thinking them up. If I do need to think of 11, can I search the web and use known riddles, or do they need to be somewhat original?
thx

When I asked the same thing, my answer was this: so long as a human being, sitting in front of thier computer (with tools such as a brain and Google, same thing for some people) can solve it, then you're good. It doesn't nessacerily need to be eloquently worded, as that can sometimes make it a bit more difficult than it needs to be.

I had a bit of trouble with this as well. I didn't want to use too many riddles that a quick search on Google would yield the answer. Obviously the riddles shouldn't be extremely easy. I wouldn't worry about making them too hard, either. If people really want to solve a riddle, then they'll take the time needed to find the answer.
Be creative. Come up with riddles that force people to do a little research. Pick a famous person you admire and come up with a riddle using details of their life.
Learn a little bit about various encryptions and ciphers. Encrypt a simple question using a cipher who's answer will lead to the next riddle.
The possibilities are endless. Have fun with it!

Sared....how and the hell is it that you can spell "eloquently" but totally fuck up "nesaceraily"...LMAO.
And about Manic's encryption example's thats pretty much what I did. I had a riddle where they would have to locate a working WWII Enigma Encryption Machine and input ZMF as the three keys to get the tumblers to decode the message correctly. The bitch is that there are tons of online enigma machine websites but they have to find the one I used to create the message. Don't worry I wasn't that much of an asshole, I did give them a hint to where they could find it.

Yeah Bentonn if you can, come up with 11 :)

11 would be great.
They are checked, and ambiguous ones would be removed.
Do your best and get them in. I still have to update a lot of older ones sent to me.
