Scavenger Hunt II - The Riddles
This is the official riddle thread for the Scavenger Hunt. In here I will post the riddles, the solutions (after the riddle is solved), and the name of the person who solved it (if/when someone does). I'll also post hints and a tally of hunt points awarded at appropriate intervals.
Remember: the answer to every riddle is an AnimeSuki URL (forum, site, or wiki based).Now, as everyone seemed to like NightWish and Kafriel's trial riddle, I'm going to provide another to get you thinking while we wait for the submissions. This is another trial, but it should be easier so I'm going to post it exactly as I would if it were part of the contest (which it isn't). I hope that is all clear everyone? Riddle Text: *** SAMPLE ***Pease post your solutions (URL and explaination) to the Scavenger Hunt II thread. Last edited by Kairin; 2011-02-02 at 21:47. |

The first official entry in this Scavenger Hunt is a little different from all the others; a riddle in the most general sense it has a lot of different parts that require more thinking than searching. It might prove really easy for some, but very very hard for others, so I'm going to let everyone puzzle over it until it is solved or all the other riddles are solved. If this isn't solved quickly another riddle will be posted in about one week.
It's been been a few days and no new leads have been |

No one has correctly answered the first riddle yet.
So here are a few hints:

No progress on the first riddle... well, being negative about math won't help.
Was the hint to obvious this time? Right; you made short work of the last one (solution), so it is time for another! Riddle me this: A drunk sits next to you at a bar:Good luck! Current Points

It has been over a week so I'm going to step in and provide an update and a few hints. I've not seen any correct solutions yet, but some interesting ideas.
For the first riddle: Some people picked up on Kairin's hints that maths is important to solving the riddle, so to be clear/fair to all: simple subtraction and division are not the key. New hint: while time is irrelevant in the kingdoms, clocks might help you solve the riddle. For the third riddle: Confirmation: You are looking for a user profile and the user's (villager's) profile is not disabled. The page is accessible to all. First hint: Adding the exclamation "Banzai" to the end of riddle would give you another path to the solution. And because that just makes it more cryptic, the biggest hint of all: the setting is irrelevant. Have fun Last edited by NightWish; 2011-03-15 at 07:23. |

I'm going to let this third riddle run a couple of extra days because I posted the hint late, as Konakaga observed. As I outlined before, there are now two paths to the solution of the riddle. Keeping that in mind, your final hint is that one involves letters the other involves numbers.

Okay, the two weeks mark is well and truly up, so time to post the solution and so Kairin can post the next riddle, I think. Sorry for the delay!

Kairin will post the scores and the next riddle, soon hopefully. Apologies again for the delays. |

I think it is safe to say the last riddle has been solved. Haak was the first, but posted too many links. RRW was the first to post it on its own, but after NightWish gave a confirmation that Haak's list included the correct answer. Tricky. I'm awarding 1/2 each for now and NightWish can think about it more if it is an issue by the end of the contest. You'll need to stop posting so many links at one time!
And with that, on we go... Tomatoes, turnips - no problem! Current Points

Almost a week and no correct answer... Given some have found it difficult to identify which series this relates to, I'll make it easier for you and give you a hint: you are not looking for a series specific thread or forum.

Finally I have been given riddle #7 to post:
Humble yet the name is known to allStill no correct answers to the first riddle! Well, Cats has provided a hint by way of the following note: Solving the math puzzle is only one way to solve the riddle (the shortest way), another way is to just find the member who fits the role of the princess in the story. Simple, isn't it. There are plenty of hints in the fairy tail, you just need to look. Just remember, hints towards the puzzle are not (necessarily) hints towards the member's identity. Since you haven't got a hint in a long time, here's a few other tips to help you out: the profile is active and the princess is not a lurker (meaning she has at least 100 posts). Chances are you've even met the princess, or the princess has met you. You'll know it's the princess when you find her. Good luck. Current Points

The last riddle finished much faster than I anticipated. Well done Golden Dream. Kairin will update and post a new riddle later today. Still no correct answers on the first one though.

Oh dear; down to solving them in a couple of hours now are we? Haladflire65 posted the correct answer: the Social Group category shipping. First riddle remains unsolved though, so you can think about that until Kairin posts number 10.
