Challenge 1
In a secret garden, love first bloomed,
Three words were spoken, our hearts attuned.
To find the next clue, think of old phones,
Where simple taps could say so much alone.
Seek a code hidden in the past,
Just four letters, spelled out fast.
Use the numbers to spell a verb,
What is the code for the word?
Challenge 2
In the fields, I graze all day,
Munching on grass, my favorite buffet.
I give you milk, Iβm gentle and kind,
With spots on my hide, a friendly find.
MOOO is the sound I make, itβs true,
Now guess my name, then email the clue.
Once you have the answer to this part of the riddle, email it to
csongorsovany{at}gmail.com to receive the full riddle that
leads to the next challenge.
Challenge 3
Letβs try something different. The below illustration has the question and a hint for you to unlock the code.
Challenge 4
In a realm where treasures are stored,
A mystical guide holds secrets, adored.
With each unique key, a chest you unlock,
Yet no path is drawn, nor does it walk.
It leads to riches, hidden from sight,
Pairing each key with a treasure, just right.
Not a land to explore, nor a road to tread,
But it organises wealth in its stead.
A keeper of pairs, in order so neat,
What is this guide, where the treasures meet?
Challenge 5
You've reached a critical point in your journey. The next step
requires you to contact someone who holds a crucial piece of
information. To ensure the message is secure, you need to send it in
a secret code. The secret code is hidden in this clue: "The city
known for the Black Church in the land often associated with
vampires." π§
Message a friend who has a special connection to this secret code.
Do not say anything else to them, just the secret code. If you are
right, their response will help you unlock the next challenge.
Challenge 6
In the night of glitter and shine,
Where hearts did sway and intertwine,
A queen of glamour took the stage,
With lips so fierce and moves so sage.
Recall the night we first did meet,
A kiss sealed fate, it was so sweet.
To find the key to your next quest,
Seek the handle of the best-dressed.
Look back at the queen's grand show,
Her Instagram will help you go.
Challenge 7
import java.util.HashMap; public class solveThisHashMapTask { public static int getAnswer() { HashMap<Integer, String> animalMap = new HashMap<>(); animalMap.put(1, "DOG"); animalMap.put(2, "CAT"); animalMap.put(3, "OTTER"); animalMap.put(4, "BIRD"); animalMap.put(5, "FISH"); animalMap.put(6, "LION"); animalMap.put(7, "TIGER"); animalMap.put(8, "ELEPHANT"); animalMap.put(9, "GIRAFFE"); animalMap.put(10, "ZEBRA"); int num = 24; int shift = 3; int result = num >> shift; return animalMap.get(result); } // What does this return? public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(getAnswer()); } }
Challenge 8
I am with you day and night,
A companion through wrong and right.
I hold secrets, both old and new,
Look within, and you'll find a clue.
Though I help you see the world wide,
It's in my skin that secrets hide.
Peel back my layers, search within,
The answer's found beneath my skin.
Challenge 9
In stories of magic and battles fought,
A clever witch's Patronus sought.
A creature that swims, so sleek and free,
In waters deep, where it loves to be.
A boy with a scar, known far and wide,
His name a secret he cannot hide.
Combine these clues, as you can see,
To find the art formed from earth and tree.
With clay and wheel, an ancient craft,
A word that's spun and shaped at last.
From the witch's patronus and wizard's name,
Unveil the art that's earned its fame.
