HALLOWEEN HEIST 2020

Who is the ultimate human/genius?


It's a week late, but I will be running a Halloween Heist this Friday. It will start at around 9pm.
The winner is the owner of the championship cummerbund above at midnight on Friday.

Entry

To enter, just pick a Team:

Team Holt (Captain: eth-dog)
Team Jake (Captain: akkaps)
Team Amy (Captain: por_please_ya)

You will work as a team and so will not need to be around the whole evening, just pop in and out when you're free.

On the day

1) I will put a riddle, where the answer is a post number. This relates to a post on the Hawks thread where you will see the cummerbund.
2) The first to locate via their team PM will own the cummerbund. One of the team will hide it in one of their team's Rd15 match thread posts.
3) I will post a riddle to the team member and location (and clues if not found after a bit). The first to find it will hide it again and repeat until midnight.
4) If someone outside the game finds the cummerbund and PMs me during the game, they will join one of the teams.

Just a bit of fun for a Friday night, the riddles will be not too hard but I won't tell you how to solve them.

I will be on my Discord from 10pm, if as a team you'd rather talk to each other, there's team rooms you can join on the Discord.

Hope you enjoy it!​

RIDDLE 5

Counting test

The puzzle is right there in front of you. The answer could be in any of the match threads. So what is the solution? It will be in one of the match threads. Demons, Roys, Furies, Swamprats, Bears or Dragons. In one is the right post for the cummerbund. This cummerbund must be very hard to find. I'll tell you one of the numbers - six. The others could be anything between 9 and 0!

Clue 1: This is as easy as 1-2-3. Maybe you should start first.
Clue 2: You are trying to get a 9 word sentence from the text.


Set at 11.15pm
Solved at 11.38pm by Team Jake
Answer
You take the first word of the first sentence, the second word of the second sentence and so on. Answer is Bears 260.
RIDDLE 6

The SFA Maze

Welcome to the SFA Maze! You will need to work your way through the maze and provide the password at the end to be given the location.

First, take 4 Chipmunks and minus 3.

Set at 11.40pm
Solved at 11.59pm by Team Amy
Answer
First clue is Phoenix (Chipmunk) 197 (Chipmunk's number id 50, so 4*50-3=197). The clue there has the answer Furies 154, where you'll find the first door.
The correct pathway is:
c) Bears post 179
h) Dragons post 703
i) Demons post 743
p) Swamprats post 461

Taking the options gives the password: CHIP
