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].

Gigi the almighty
:SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
correction there are, according to my number of zeros and ones 62 lettres and spaces...
when i "translated" it i got the following:
Py aquvt da klgc Ub vexwqg dvus Py rproe v blh A rzlwema fuahx
i think you must do something with that hint "End what you halfway started..." but i have no idea
hope you can help

You're very close - maybe you just need a key to unlock the answer?
Gigi the almighty
:are the letters i got correct?
and what do you mean with the key, do you mean that i have to change the order in the alfabet so that every lettre becomes an other lettre or i'm i on the wrong trach with that?
MikeJ
:SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Your letters are correct, and the riddle in the source is important. Bigger hint: Vigenere.
Orione
:Yay Gigi great work! Solved it now!
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Your text (which is indeed correct!) can be decyphered with the Vinègre cypher, using the word of the source code riddle as the decoder! Then solve that riddle..et voila!
Gigi the almighty
:thx i figured it out, but still i don't know how i was supposed to figure out how to get to the word you gave in your hint...
there wasn't a clue to come there.
but now moving on to level 13: doggystyle!
Orione
:I guess it's just one of the better known methods. I didn't see a clue either. I just tried a few others that didn't work and then got to this one.
level 13 it is :)
Gigi the almighty
:to orione:
thx for your compliment :)
do you know how we were supposed to get to that vinegere?
MikeJ
:I really recommend the <a href="http://caesum.com/handbook/contents.htm">Caesum Handbook</a> (as linked in the sidebar on Riddle :) - the encryption section is great.
Gigi the almighty
:hm
i'm in disadvantage in level 13 because i'm dutch
i've looked up all the dog names in dutch but is very difficult to find the english names... :s
Orione
:I'm Dutch as well LOL Coincidence
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
I've used this: http://www.akc.org And I've got a few definites now.
Gigi the almighty
:haha that's indeed a coincidence
we kunnen elkaar nu wel duidelijker helpen als t nodig is :)
heb jij enig idee wat die 7 letters in de bron zouden kunnen betekenen?
Orione
:yep :)
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
'door elkaar husselen' op z'n engels
Gigi the almighty
:ok ik snap
maar moet je dan de beginletters van de hondenamen door elkaar dingesen ofzo? ik heb veel medeklinkers als beginletters, denk dat ik misschien foutje in de engels namen heb ofzo...
heb jij 13 al opgelost trouwens?
Draghkar
:hey jongens, als je nederlands gebruikt, kan je dan ook een engelse vertaling erbij zetten? dan kan mikej het ook lezen...
Hiya guys, when you use dutch, can you put a translation underneath it, MJ will be able to follow it as well
Greetz,
Draghkar
Gigi
:yo orione
do you get a normal word when you take the lettres from the dogs?
I don't....do you have to do something else or am i on the wrong trail?
Orione
:Good plan Draghkar :)
Gigi, ik heb het nog niet opgelost...Ik mis er nog twee. De rest weet ik zeker. En dan denk ik dat we ze inderdaad door elkaar moeten dingesen :) Er komt bij mij ook nog niks zinnigs uit.
Gigi, haven't solved it as of yet. I still miss 2 definites. But I think what you said to do, should be correct. I can't make anything out of it as of yet either.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Om een hond met zekerheid te identificeren, kun je de naam in google's image search intypen. Dan verschijnt ie op de eerste pagina. Precies dezelfde foto, dus dan weet je zeker dat het goed is.
For the definites, when typed into google's image search, the exact picture appears on the first page, so then you know you're correct for sure.
De zekerheden die ik heb gevonden (voor het geval dat je het wil vergelijken):
The ones I identified for sure (in case you want to compare):
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
first row:
1= Akita
2= Labrador
3 = ??? Loewchen (it has to be, but no google certainty)
second row:
4= English Setter
5= ???this one drives me mad
6=???boxer - no google certainty, but it does seem like one to me
third row:
7= Bloodhound
8= ??? looks like a german or belgian shepherd (tervurne) to me, no google certainty
9= Samoyed
10= Komondor
Ik zou graag horen wat jij ervan gemaakt hebt. Vooral nummer vijf - die ene die op het bed ligt te loungen! Maar er gaat weinig gepuzzeld worden voorlopig. Werk en Sinterklaas :-)
I'd love to hear your ideas, especially on no. 5 - the one lying on the bed! I won't be solving puzzles much for now though. Work & Sinterklaas :-)
Gigi
:moving on to level 14 :)!!
level13
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
the names you got are correct orione:
1 Akita (i didn't know this one so thank you)
2 Labrador
3 Lowchen
4 English setter
5 I still don't know this one but it starts with an A or a T
6 Boxer
7 Bloodhound
8 I still don't know this one but it starts with an A or a T
9 Samoyed
10 Komondor
take the first lettres of the 10 dogs and with those lettres you can make a word, it's very easy.
CU in level 14! it's a fishy riddle...
Orione
:Aaah, good call on the missing ones.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Then I suppose 8 is a Tervurne. Still no clue on the lounger LOL If anyone gets past this puzzle, including the name of no. 5, then please tell! I'm very curious
14 looks interesting! (and by interesting I mean mind bogglingly complicated LOL)
Floris

HELP ANYBODY?
GGG
:PLEASE?
Chevelle

HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
You have to rearrange the pieces so that it says something.
Does anyone have any idea what to do with the word search one lvl 18 I've decoded most of the words but can't find any of them in the puzzle.
Groove Puppy
:OK, so I'm a little behind. I think I get the basic priciple of level 10....
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
I have a list of place names, "la plata", "andrews", "wintrange", etc
...but I don't see what to do with it.
Groove Puppy
:OK, I got it now. Nice riddle, great idea but if you use the wrong web tool then you'll get a nonsense answer!!!! Pity, cos it spoils the game.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Don't use http://www.mapquest.com/maps/latlong.adp, use Google Earth!!!!!
MikeJ
:Groove Puppy: You can use other tools, but it makes it a bit trickier :)
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
I know some people have completed it using multimap
Floris
:ok, nobody is gonna help with 15??
Groove Puppy
:15 is really easy (and I'm not being a wise ass), just a little work. Now 14 was cute, thanks to spreadsheet graphing functions. :D
Floris
:15 is just alot of work and need a good google search to get me started...
Groove Puppy
:I have no clue where to even begin with level 16. I've tried some onvious stuff, I see patterns, but nothing I can work with at all. Any thoughts appreciated, even if it's just commiserations. ;)
Groove Puppy
:BTW, the missing dogs from level 13 are...
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
...no5 is a Tibetan Terrier, and no8 may be a German Shepherd to some people but to others it's an Alsation!
Gigi
:lvl 16 is very easy
you just need to find the good decoding device and then it's a piece of cake...
I already decoded it and I'm looking at what you get then
if anyone is as far as me could he or she tell me what to do with the names, i know what they all have in common and i tried that but that didn't work, do i have to do something with the beginletters of the games they play in, or something like that?
grtz, gigi
Floris
:got it, gotto have the good names of the games the characters live in, look good at the ltters..
Groove Puppy
:Did a search for
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
decode online
and the first return translates the message. Dumb luck, after hours yesterday of analysing the text structure, etc. So now I have a word but it doesn't work!!!!
Gigi
:hey guys
i also found out the good word sometime ago
but i don't have any idea what to do with it...
i mean the word itself is wrong, the main character is wrong
i shuffled the lettres and i got something like "you pass" or "you can pass" and i can't make any sense out of the remaining lettres. am i on the wrong track???
Groove Puppy
:Gigi:
If you have the translation correct and you use the info to find the "games" as a previous post said, then there is no rearrangement and no extra letters. I figured you then have to reverse process the result to get the answer.
Of course now I'm totally stuck on 17!!!!!!
Pittaken
:@ gigi
you wrote you found a title but the main character has been wrong
how many letters has the name of your main character?
Pittaken
:did anybody manage to solve # 17?????
Gigi
:@ pittaken
first i thought that the main character had 3 letters but i figured the good name out some time ago...
i'm now working on 17 but it's difficult to find out which ciphers the letters are...
have you found out that? if i just knew the ciphers it would be a piece of cake to solve
with qwertyuiop i think he means the letters are the ciphers above the letters but why is there an { in then? i just don't know what do to...
Floris
:18..here i am!!
