Yes, it totally is! I don't know what I was cross-referencing in my head. 12 is nothing but a dozen, as far as I know. In my defense, I've been getting about 5 hours of sleep every night since school started. I am embarrasingly fried.

Today's carry over riddle is:

Quote:

Flags and burning flame
sweaty effort for new bling
running in circles
Clue: may coincide with the end of the world.

and from easy to hard, as I see them:

Orbs wrapped in silk
a crown, a ring, not for her
stole her sister's show

Huge nasal niggle,
rearranged; self describing
you're looking at it.

Seventy two quarters
one hundred and twenty four quarters
one hundred and twenty eight quarters

(I gladly admit
that last is not a haiku
still a riddle tho.)
