    But if you are really bothered by it, I'll keep my answers to myself from now on.
    Like TL said later, don't worry about him. Look back through this thread if you ever get bored, he's jealous if he can't get the right answer and someone else does

If you put your mind to it, and study it, you will find out, but nobody may assist you. Do it without any coaching. Go to work and try your skill at figuring it out. Par on it is about half an hour. Good Luck!
    IN lieu of the quick response.

    ANSWER (Congrats mrweasel): The letter 'e' is missing.

    NEXT RIDDLE (since we are all here, I expect I should get a few good answers):

    QWERTYUIOP are the letters on the top row of letters on a standard typing keyboard. What is the longest word that can be typed using just those letters? Pepper is one but you should be able to come up with a longer one (or several longer ones).
