Hahaha! Yeah. Thanks, Heiji! Thank you for believing in me and pushing me to do my best! Thanks, Quincy. I was SERIOUSLY over-thinking those. By the way, I got number three! I knew it had to be some kind of linguistic wordplay. I knew it! {Spoiler: Click to view/hide} The answer is 門 (もん) or "gate". It's not literally a gate, per say, but the radical "門".
I was thinking about the word 入る "to go in", and I was thinking, okay, so if I put in 音, how can I make it literally say "dark". I was getting hung up because of 暗い since it has 音 in it. I thought maybe the answer had something to do with 日 since 暗い is made by combining 音 and 日, but when I tried to stick 人 and 日 together I wasn't coming up with anything that made sense with the rest of the radicals given in the third line of the clue. And then I started thinking about "dark" and thought, "Maybe it's not 'dark', but 'darkness'." That lead me to 闇 (やみ). That's the first line, if you add 音 it becomes "dark".
After that I felt really stupid. ^.^; The second line is "if you put 人 in, you'll understand". 閃く (ひらめく) means to flash or have insight.
The third line means that the other radicals can be put into the gate radical to get other words too.
聞く (きく) 問 (もん) 間 (あいだ) 閉める (しめる) 閂 (かぬき)
So yeah. I got number three! All that's left is number six, and I still have no idea how to go about it. It's ね_. I don't know.

Oh gosh, nyaruhodo!~ {naruhodo-nya~} So it's a matter of chopping the radicals and putting them back together. That 音 character got me an itch on the back of my head, so did 暗い, but I never got past it except for the fact that 暗's got the character for "oto". So that's the trick. My, how clever! *slow clap* I see, 暗い=闇 and the other ones follow the same concept... ooooooh... That's some tricky puzzle right there! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you Mikau-chan! Rawr, another item where one just laughs at one's self after getting the correct answer cos it's so darn simple... LOL, funny how we complicate simple things and we look at complicated things simply... (like *cough*Math and whatever it is people from the past centuries did with their lives*cough*) ... And now we all get stuck at #6 (I still think there's a trick with 43 being black and 3 being white... but I dunno...) xP

This looks like it has to do with this heist riddle/game thing?

Indeed! No new info, though. Still, pretty cool! I'd want to be on Kid's team, though. :/
