Just a heads up, in case you're wondering what the heck all these flashy colors mean when you see users online:

• Black usernames are puny little Class 1 Riddlers like you.
• Green usernames are Class 2 Riddlers. These people are of above-average intelligence. Don't mess with 'em.
• Blue usernames are Class 3 Riddlers. These people are geniuses, and could easily confuse the lesser-minded riddlers with jargon and numerical codes.
• Purple usernames are Class 4 Riddlers. People in this group are very very smart. Keep an eye on them, or they might take over the world while your back's turned.
• Silver usernames are Web Riddler Graduates. These are the true champions who have completed (or almost completed) Phase 100. These guys are the true Web Riddler veterans.
• Dark red usernames are moderators. They browse the forums and keep the peace.
• Red usernames are administrators. Hurry up and PM them with your PM riddle before they leave! They are the only ones which can transfer you between usergroups.

And that's about it.

so, staff, as in you [moderator]?

Red - Moderators and Administrators

how far do you have to get to be in Class 2/3 2 or 3?
editted because it looked like a fraction

You'll find out.

besides Maniac, who's the highest riddler?

Me. I'm on Phase 31.

argh. you guys are so far! i'm still on 5

If you think this is hard, wait 'till 20 and thereafter! You're gonna be busy for longer.

how long did Phase 5 - 9 take you?

Not that long. I sped through all of the Phases. Well, except 8, that took a while. But the rest were rather easy.

I was going to say Maniac. You took ages on Phase 8. About 5 days or something.

LOL

Yeah, um, it was kinda difficult. But that was back when you had the inferior hint.

Also, go Fast Reply! w00t!

i'm stumped on it now, though.

Maniacal Edit:

Be careful about how much you say and where, Eldrial.

Remember. If you want to discuss phases, please post in the Hints & Tips forum.
