P4X: The Riddle

I discovered the P4X riddle about two weeks ago, and breezed through the first 15 rooms before hitting my first snag. After 20, each room began to work me over, pretty thoroughly, too - like the puzzle was picking me up by my lapels and tossing me around my apartment. I'm currently working on Room 36. And, all spoken, there are 150 rooms to solve.

Basically, the riddle functions like a maze across the www, and proceeding from room to room requires you to uncover the URL for each of them. Each “room” is an image containing clues, which you can uncover by clever photo manipulation, viewing the page source, and searching the internet.

The sooner you get started, the sooner you can help me with Room 36.

I tried putting 'nothing' as the answer and it says "No, even less than that!!"

What do you mean by the 'mirror technique'? I already did that, or is there another one? How many total mirrorings are needed


you only need the mirror once - if you were to submit that sentence to your grammar teacher as homework, your teacher would turn it back and say, "hey agent, you are missing all the ______s!"
