I have a box of glass plates, thick and maybe 3"x8" or so. I want a rain gauge so I am figuring the relation between rain infall and height at the bottom of a 'V' configuration described by two plates, with two others plating the flat sides. I have to figure how to mark the scale of height coming up from the bottom so it corresponds to rain. If I decide how high it will be, say, six inches, does it matter how wide the opening is?

Well, now that I have a new web host, its back! I plan on adding more to the riddle and/or new riddles. http://riddle.studymachine.org Enjoy , and don't be afraid to share hints and answers with each other. Just please make your answers hard to read or something so you don't spoil it for everyone else. P.S. If you are the first to figure out a level, your name goes in the records.

My fourth is so more ways than one, so long as you can spell, While my fifth splits first and second, so what is it? Can you tell? It may seem like these words of rhyme are nonsense things to say, Though the five together are right here (two ways) so what are they?

This is a "secret message" posted in the Panic! At The Disco journal on their website. I was wondering if anyone here can make sense out of it; if it's a real message or just something that Jon Walker wrote to be funny or something. I'm also interested in how one would solve something like this. I don't have a clue as to how to solve it.

This puzzle is very hard. I've gotten to the fifth or sixth, but I got stuck. I had the answer, but I didn't know what I was doing...
