I definitely don't...makes me feel like I cheated it.

I got it, thanks.

After reading ruserious's comments, I saw the answer to 26 immediately. I see no connection between the title and answer, though. Anyone?

Im an idiot, I saw

braille

a long time ago, but just now realized that wasn't the answer but a hint to the answer.....DUH!

Umm #27.....I know it says it is under construction but

the image tag says BLANK.jpg - no other filename on any page or image has had any capital letters....

....is that a hint?

Not sure, I put it into the url and it wouldn't load it...


There are no hints for 27 here either

I don't think the blog is updated until the blogger solves the riddle. From earlier posts, one of the people here (jakeabby) has been in email contact with the Riddler (Stewart). Stewart told jakeabby that, "..puzzles through 30 should be up sometime today." Go back and look at post #440 for yourself.

I think that the BLANK.jpg is a placeholder that stands out in the HTML so the Riddler (Stewart) can find/replace it easily. If you notice, the puzzles all have the same format: picture over text with all the pictures being in the same directory.

They're up.

allright, #27

I am guessing this is referring to the fact that Washington was not the first president. John Hanson was the "first" and six other presidents were elected after him - Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788) - all prior to Washington taking office. Have tried all the names, they don't seem to work

You're on the right track with thinking about Washington, but don't necessarily think about his presidency.

think more about the relation to the picture.

allright, #27

got it, jimmer, thanks for putting me on the right track.

everyone else:

sail over to wikipedia

Okay, now I'm on to 28. Here are my thoughts so far:

Are those colors in the word "hints" like the google logo? The filename of the picture is a date. What's the deal? Googling that date doesn't seem to help.

[jimmer]

So...'bout that 28...I don't know...

I really have no idea what to do here. The color of the "hint?" would...well I think that's obvious. The other given kind of lead me down what seemed to be a dead end. Then I decided to go down the "office" track, but I really don't think that helped me and now I think I'm more screwed up than I was before. This one feels like it should be painfully easy, but I'm complicating it too much.

Ok, just noticed a message in the source code, but it doesn't make sense to me

"^-1" means take the inverse, right, so word 1/7?

[Hexedian]

The "^-1" COULD mean power minus one, or it could mean 'arrow up minus one', which would refer to the line above it.

What about that ?

Take me back: what happened on 2001/05/07, or 2001/04/07, or 2001/05/06...

But that's just an idea...
