PHP: 
2)       X              X
      _________      ________  hint: x marks the spot (answer is 4 letters)
 
         X              X

PHP: 
3) wajmmajbhtptfpbljghgachcmrtwhchrtekjnfcrbcb  (answer is 10 letters)

I dunno-- they're so incredibly vague that I'm not inspired to even try. Maybe it's necessary that they're so vague, but to me (and apparently to others?) it's just uninspiring.

My thoughts exactly! I started to look for possible solutions, but quickly the vagueness turned me off because I don't even know what I'm looking for.
 
Can you give us some context? Where did you get these from? It looks like a joke.
