For wisdom - I tried to find clues in the text for the order of the colored balls.
I've read the text intensively in the hope that I would make me a connection to something I could work with.
I googled parts of the text to see if was taken from a certain work.
I ignored the text and search for some code or color order that used those colors. Like electronic code, three-phase electric power codes, snooker/pool balls, color of the days (according Thai tradition), etc.
For Will - I just need find a good moment to solve that one (and a bunch of luck ).
For charity - I still think we have to make an donation to receive the answer by email.
Confidence is not accessible yet.
For those who cannot download the picture on Curiosity:
If you use FireFox, switch to another browser like Internet Explorer. The picture cannot be downloaded with FireFox.
If you use Internet Explorer, and the downloading stops halfway. Just keep trying. It will work eventually (c.q. after some tries).
For those who use Firefox and have the add-on NoScript:
When you enter "Will" you must have (temporary) allowed ALL scripts on that page. Otherwise the program will run but will not count any of your answers correct.
I don't dare to state that not allowing all scripts on the WIQ site will interfere when you submit an answer. I am not going to try that out. But I would recommend to temporary allow all scripts before submitting an answer when you make use of Noscript.

Edit: Curiosity done, 6 more to go!
Noone else playing??
I am playing in the little spare time I currently have.
I solved: patience, endurance, honor, intuition, prudence.
Curiosity: I can't the see the picture (The file is damaged and cannot be repaired) but that might be part of the riddle. Saved broken file on pc and opened in notepad but didn't see anything special.
Awareness: Mishu and I are thinking it's a song. I found some songs that have what I got, but I am not convinced that one of those is the right one.
And apart from that, what format is used for date of birth? I assume the European, but how to write it out has several possibilities. I have the feeling I am on the wrong track (at least partly).
Humility: Solved part 1 and 2, but I am not too sure about the girl's name. I think it's betty, but it also could be catty or patty. Consonants looks obvious, but I am not sure which ones I may use and if order is important. My ideas for part 4 failed.
Will: is going to be an issue for me. I am too slow with the subtractions.
Charity: I think you have to make an donation to get the password to it by email. Even when I want to make a donation, I can't. I don't have paypal, and I won't make a paypal account.
For the ones I didn't mentioned: no promising ideas.
Ok, now i only miss Wisdom, Awareness, Charity and Confidence.
For Curiosity: Nope, you need that file, if it's broken, try to download again. It has more then 2 MB and it took 2 or 3 trys for me too before i had it.
For Awareness: Hmm, maybe we have different riddles there, I'm looking for an author.
For Humility: I didn't need the girls name, the other ones were enough for me. For 4 i had to guess 2 of the letters, but that wasn't really hard cause 2 other letters were given by a number
For Will: Yeah, i needed some trys too and much luck. I concentrated on the first 20 ones to make no error there, because after that they get harder as it seems, then i mostly speculated on the last digits and more or less guessed some of the difficult ones.
For Charity: That's what i thought too, but meanwhile I'm no more convinced about that.

There they say clearly, that donating is optional and that you can still use this site with no restrictions if you choose not to donate.

MishuAnubis
yup, 56 is up
i solved Patience, Intuition, Prudence, Will and almost solved Honor and Humility
Question 57 countdown: 25 Contributors Required or 5000 Registered Users.
How long will this last? 5 years?
Yes, I read that, but because "Question 56 has 13 different questions and is the most difficult WIQ question to date" I figured that by the time we solve question 56, WIQ will have (near) 5000 registered users.
I expect (read hope) that this riddle will attract many new players as soon as it is actively played again.
I am still afraid I won't have enough IPs at the end of round 1 to be allowed to participate part 2.
I have to conclude the notes I made are bad.
But I try to give hints anyway
Question 22
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Say the verse loud out. Some words or combined words representing an image on the stones.
Question 24
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Top riddle - Compass: Draw the lines of the directions.
Bottom riddle - Watch: What you see it not relevant, what you don't see is.

kie,
I can't quite come out with your figures for my illustration.
My first one divides to
37 17 26 85 22 28 14 17 22 _28 48_212 136 151 194 253 234
the directions are ->4{^3<2>8{
begin at 37
move right one to 17
delete 17 26 85 22
go to end 234
move back 3 to 151 move back 3 to 194 (end of 151)
delete 151 194 delete 194 253
go home to 37
move right (to the next available number?) 28 14 (end of 2
delete 28 14 17 22 _ 28 48 _ delete 14 17 22 __ 28 48 __ 212
this leaves 37 212 136 253 234 this leaves 37 28 136 151 234
Did I do anything wrong?
Bolded the errors, the first mistake seemed to throw you. I think these 'rules' are still open for interpretation anyway as the results don't seem consistent with each other.
My number is: 37 21 128 115 234

Question 56 will be released as soon as they get 10 contributors or have 2950 registered users.
Currently they have 1 contributor and 2582 registered users.
On June 7th they had 2496 users, so question 56 will likely be released 285 days from now.
