hi! glad you checked out the site. sorry about driving you nuts, but that's actually one of my goals in not providing answers -- i think torture makes the solutions more joyful. if i provided answers, i think most people would be tempted to click on the solutions after a mere few minutes of thought, and that could ruin the learning experience, and the fun.
the clever answer is a firebreak.
hi! thanks for checking out the site. i decided to not post answers because i figured it would take the joy out of doing these riddles; part of that joy is banging on blackboards and repeating to yourself that things are impossible and pulling your hair out. this torture then makes the solution all the more joyful:) if i made the solutions available, i think most people would be tempted to click on the answers after just a few minutes of thought at most, and that would kinda ruin the learning experience.

Frankly, I don't believe you, unless you're some uber-genius. I've stumped CS professors here with these riddles.
