Good morning people.
I must ask:

Does anyone have a problem with the ads on the "lost.htm" page? Do they bother you at all, or is it okay that they are there?

As long as they are not pop-ups...I am good. Honestly, they really don't ruin the game. It was a little weird at first, but I'm sure we will all get over it.

Basically, you put a lot of effort into making this riddle, and I see no reason for you to not take advantage of it. But, do as you see fit.

Edit: So you removed them huh? It is good with me.
