My Introduction

Yes, hello there. I am new here. here are a few of my starting thoughts.
I have an idea for looking at riddles different from normal. Pretend that everything in the riddle is an object. Each object acts independently, but can act upon another object thus chaning it's characteristics. Also, each characteristic in an object is an object itself. It's the same way that OO programing works. (Object Oriented)
Could this help solve some of the riddles that are hard?
BTW - Your easy to hard scale is off. How do you measure something even if it's relative? I can get 3 or 4 hard questions easily, yet it's difficult to do 3 or 4 easy ones. That is misleading.
Finally, I think there should be an answer section for each riddle and they have to be answered in an If and Only If type statement? How that works, you have to give the reason and what happens, and then you give the proof. It takes work, but since there can be multiple answers, it's nice to see what everybody see's w/o checking the forums.
Finally, it you want something that perplexes you, in Kingdom Hearts 1 + 2, how do heartless, nobodies, and the world that never was exist? There's to many problems in that game with it's logic. Um... yah, now I'm ranmbling. *Submit*

As far as the easy/medium/hard classification goes, it's not really pratical to grade the "difficulty" of the moment of insight needed to solve riddles. Instead, the puzzles/riddles are generally sorted by how much work is needed to get the answer once you are on the right track. So the puzzles in the hard section generally require a significant amount of thought in addition to some degree of insight, while the riddles in the easy section generally require no thought once you intuit the answer.
There are some of the older puzzles that were classified according to other criteria, so the Fork in the Road puzzles live in the hard section when they would probably be classified easy or medium if they were posed today.
As for the KH problem, I'll respond with another question - if Nobody blinded the Cyclops, how did the cyclops lose its sight?

A hint to rmsgrey's question: capitalization isn't just for show. A second hint is of course greek mythology.
