Before the new clue, a quick recap:

Clue 1:


Clue 2: Something's missing here...

Clue 3: Why are some of the numbers red? And why is there no red 6?

Clue 4: This riddle brought to you on this site's forum. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing?

Clue 5: Maybe you should read between the dots

Clue 6: I'm sure if you read the words "you or I" quickly enough, the location of the riddle will come to you.

Clue 7: Once you've put it all together (or taken it all apart as the case may be), just answer the question.

I found message 66818 after much searching. It didn't help.

Yeah, I've tried as many substitutions as I can think of, and although I know how to get the solution, I'm waiting for either a new clue or for someone to get it.

The most important clues seem to be ones you're not paying enough attention to. Remember that all the clues come together for the solution, and that nothing is wasted, even things that aren't actually there.

Clue 8: Redirection is the act of changing where someone or something is headed. You'll have to be quick in order to get the question you need to answer.

Hint: The red six is missing, so it must not be anything. How many is nothing?

Funnily enough, your spiel helped more than your 'hint'.

Edit: Ah HAH! Now where's the question...

Edit to the edit: Yes, I know I for some reason typed OG#3 on my guess down there. Pretend for a second that it's OG#2, I think I'm up to.

That's okay, just make OG2 your next one.

Close enough! That's actually the question I was looking for you to answer from clue 7, but you're so close to the end I'll give it to you. Choose your square!

For those in the dark, here's the solution: The immediate puzzle is a SuDoKu, where every row, column, and nine 3x3 squares arranged like a number sign must contain all the digits from 1 through 9. Solving the SuDoKu puts values under the red numbers. The red six is missing, so it's meant to be nothing, which is commonly represented by a zero. This gives you a string of nine numbers: 668180139. There are only two URIs (you or I) those numbers could represent, and one is 66.81.80.139, which promptly redirects you to roosterteeth.com, but while it does that it presents you with the text "Knock, knock."

And hence my guess of 'Blue'. I figured that red was already accounted for.

In keeping with the theme, I believe the last episode of Red vs Blue I watched was Episode 26, so I'll take box 26, thanks.

I'm somewhat terrified of the fact that people are somehow actually figuring this stuff out.

Ah, but that wasn't so difficult.

I got to about halfway. I got the URI. I just never realised that the number box could be sudoku because there are multiple different coloured numbers on the same row. Yeah, the red numbers only showed the order...

I'm sorry to tell you your number 26 hold an X. On the bright side, less than half the board squares hold an X, so technically that means you beat the odds! Congratulations!

It occurs to me now that with the Prize Box more than half gone, and the letters spread so widely, I may need to come up with another method to distribute DROD merchandise for when this wraps up. Rest assured, whatever ingenious scheme I come up with will be better scheduled than the puzzles in this thread.

In the meantime though, a new puzzle will come soon!

Puzzle: Bob and Michelle were out on a date, when the conversation turned to music. "Did you know if you play part of Stairway to Heaven backward you can hear a Satanic verse?" asked Bob.

"Yeah, actually there are a lot of songs that have cool stuff in them if you slow them down, reverse them, kill the treble... that Britney Spears song Hit Me Baby, One More Time played backwards has her saying sleep with me, I'm not too young."

"I'm a pro at finding this kind of stuff. I've never found a song that had a hidden message I wasn't able to uncover."

"Oh really..." postulated Michelle. Then she handed him a tape and said "I'll bet you can't find the hidden message in this song."

Their date ended amicably, and when they met up again a few days later, Bob said to her "I found your message."

What was it?

OG#1: RIFF

I'm graspin' at straws here, as I couldn't be bothered installing sound manipulation software beyond what Windows already has, which seems to be a tad lossy.

Banjooie, your guesses reset every day. That should be an OG#1 in your post above.
