Whew, finally refigured out 8... And DoctorLore, there is a logical way to solve it. Although solving it the way you did via association might be easier.
How about a hint.
The problem is that there is too much information, and nothing by which to filter it.
Hmm, well...as I said, there are two approaches to solving this. One way is through association with the phrase in the source code that says, "oh no... OZ again? now what?" Just spam out everything/word/phrase that comes to mind.
Or you can go the logic route. The arrow pointing down is EXTREMELY significant, and the number "8" is essentially the directions of what to do.

Ack, just realized that I'm only on #25. Also, #20 and #22 require photoshop or the GIMP editor (which you can download for free). I'll admit that I had a friend do those two for me because I don't know how to use PS, and I'm too lazy to try to figure out how to use GIMP. If you get to those, email me at my junk mailbox variable303@live.com and I'll just tell you lol...
edit: if you email me lemme know or I won't even bother to check it.

This one really isn't too bad. It's like #1 right? Except this one is number 11... That might already be too good of a hint. Once you get it, you'll be like "duh..."

And indeed I was like "duh". (I really need to stop overthinking these.)
#12 is reeeeeeally creepy.

#12 was REALLY hard for me... You might be able to solve it through trial and error. However, there is a way to solve it logically. Well, about to head out for a few hours so I won't be able to provide any pointers till I get back. Good luck!

I can't even try to solve 12 because I can't get over how creepy it is.

12 seemed more odd than creepy to me... As I said, 12 is VERY hard imo. To get to a page that allows you to decode it, focus on the phrase in the source code: "it is the story she told me... and i have written it down...". Then think about the name of the image (herstory.jpg). I might have said too much...

It's a combination of the madness-inducing tick-tacking and the whole "in 15h58m25s she dies" thing that makes it unbearably disturbing for me. I feel like if I actually find out what "her story" was, I won't be able to get any sleep for a while.

Oh, so you found the hint page? That took me FOREVER to figure out. However, I didn't really get any hints either...

No... I refuse to visit that website while the sun is down. Already had enough nightmares yesterday about mirrors and pipes.

I'm stuck on that one as well. I've tried everything that came to my mind, still nothing.
Edit: Stuck on the second one :P
The answer is hidden in the words. Pay close attention to the bars dividing the two parts of the picture, and the text at the bottom. They're the indicators as to how you extract the answer.

how about the first part of 5? just a hint, HSR's hint didnt help me very much.
The focus of the riddle is mirror(s). The picture is very important, and the title offers a hint as well. Zooming in a little might help.
I see what you mean, but I'm just not seeing the answer :(
Pay attention to which letters are under which bars. They're spelling something out, if you figure out the pattern. (Also, mirrors never lie, but remember that you're being told this
by
a mirror...)
Edit: Actually, disregard the bit in the parenthesis, it'll probably just confuse you more.

hmm, i figured that out. i'm just too lazy to download a program that lets me reflect the image right now.
You don't need to reflect the image, but you do need to reflect
something

Yup, you don't need any program until level 20. Like I said, if you're too lazy like me, just email me and I'll tell you the answer.
