Solutions


Opening Puzzle

Product of the dimensions of the introductory image. This is no different than the previous edition of the challenge. (292320)


Puzzle 1

The indiscernible words are referencing real life buildings. The numbers are derived from indexing their heights in the equations.

Burj Khalifa + Shanghai Tower = 1460m
Ping An Finance Center - One World Trade Center = 58m
Taipei 101 x Landmark 81 = 234188m

International Commerce Centre x Central Park Tower = 228448m


Puzzle 2

The cities are all geographical antipodes of each other. Since the answer is a Wynncraft location, the answer is the mob Antipode, which only spawns at Freezing Heights.​

Puzzle 3

Solve the problem.

You are given OBC and tasked to find ODC.
OB=OC, hence BOC = 180-2(46) = 88
DOC = 180 - 88 = 92
AOD = 88/2 = 44
AOB = AOD + DOC = 92 + 44 = 136
OA = OB = OC since they're the radii of the circle, hence triangle AOB is an isoceles triangle.
ABO = (180 - 136)/2 = 22
ABO = DCO = 22, and DOC is 92 as you've found earlier.
ODC = 180 - 22 - 92 = 66



Puzzle 4

The grammatically incorrect words have their first letter(s) flipped. For example, “corally morrect” -> “morally correct”.

Find the word with said definition, and you will eventually find that two different definitions belong to one word.



Add the numbers belonging to the same word together.

polish 5
right 4
number 5
lumber 1
present 4
mind 2
lighter 1
dove 3
seal 2
spring 3
rose 3
object 6
even 3
sink 2
fine 3

Each number corresponds to the position of a letter in their respective word, take them out, and you’ll get “shelsilverstein”.

The entire premise of this puzzle is a reference to Shel Silverstein’s book “Runny Babbit”, which is written in spoonerisms. The answer is hence “runnybabbit”.


Puzzle 5

This is not about cities, but of dog breeds named after those cities/regions/countries. Furthermore, darkening the image reveals the hidden words "who let the dogs out".

The dog breeds in question:
Korean Jindo
Welsh Corgi
German Shepherd
Chinese Crested Dog
Bernese Mountain Dog
Italian Spinone
French Bulldog

Take the letters above the blue lines, and you’ll get “Joe Cool”, an alias of Charlie Brown’s dog Snoopy.


Puzzle 6

In the player's inventory, you’ll find:

13 platinum
12 gold
9 silver
12 copper

21 unholy arrows
20 wooden arrows
16 fire arrows
25 jester arrows

All numbers are below 26, and indexing with the alphabet, you’ll get “mlil” and “utpy”.

Combine and unscramble, and you’ll get the word “multiply”.

Multiply the quantity of the same item in the inventory and you’ll get 5508, 604, 57716, and 5537637.

It’ll be a bit of a jump here, but these four numbers can be read as words when rotated, namely “boss”, “hog”, “gills”, “legless” respectively. Googling the numbers reveals this revelation too.

These adjectives and nouns are all features of a hardmode Terraria boss, Duke Fishron.


Puzzle 7

The names are all taken from Wynncraft wands. After inserting their levels, you’ll end up with a few empty slots.

The next stage involves solving this in the form of a magic square, where the sum of the integers in each row, column, and diagonal are equal (except in this case the diagonals are not equal but we couldn’t do anything about it so apologies, you can still brute force the answer when algebra fails though)


(Please disregard the random "TEXT" in the center of the image)

Using the smaller numbers and letters, you’ll get:

20(1) 5(2) 12(3) 22(4) 21(5)

16(a) 19(b) 5(c) 18(d) 14(e)

which indexes to:
T E L V U
P S E R N

Both are NPCs in the quest Fate of the Fallen, and going by the theme of the puzzle, the answer is Theorick’s Staff, a powerful wand.


Puzzle 8

1. There is a grave in the mountains between Ternaves and the mesa. The answer is the last word of the sign, “farewell”.

2. The words are taken from a shrine in Ragni. The answer is the NPC that can be found there, Otium.

3. A book in Death’s library, The Long-Winded and Painful Death of Sweeney S Greenville, shares the exact same title as a song by C418.

4. Go to the frozen floating island behind Pirate Raider town. The answer is the block that’s found between the two graves, a rose.

5. The riddle describes Farcor, the mythical dragon you encounter in the heavens in The Fortuneteller quest.

The final text is the lore of the item, Thrundacrack.


Puzzle 9

The key is in B major, and all of the chord's roots are B.

Combine “B” with the title and author of the piece, and you would have realised that it means “Braille” and “Base 3”.



Some notes are crotchets, and some are minims. The arrangement in each bar directly correspond to letters and words in the English Braille alphabet. You should end up with “the rag”.

Some notes have a natural, a sharp, and a double sharp. In Base 3, there are only 0, 1, and 2.

Utilising this clue:

natural = 0
sharp = 1
double sharp = 2

In music theory, a natural note in the first chord will carry over to its corresponding note in the next chord, unless overwritten by a double sharp.

Taking each individual note, you should end up with:
202 100 111 012 102 100 112 021
reading from bottom to top up every chord.

Convert to Base 10:
20 9 13 5 11 9 14 7

Index it with the regular alphabet: “time king”

The ragtime king is Scott Joplin.


Puzzle 10



The background is the flag of Japan.
Instead of clock readings, the flag and the boat hints at semaphore. Hence, you’ll have to use Japanese semaphore.



Based on the diagrams and the flag positions given, you should end up with this:


み ミ (quarter to ten and quarter past nine)

と ト (half past twelve and fifty to eleven)

り リ (zero past twelve)



し シ (fifty to eleven and quarter past twelve)

ろ ロ (half to ten)



あ ア (quarter to eight)

お オ(fifteen past nine, zero past six, seven past seven)



は ハ (fifty to eleven)

た タ(twenty-five to two going to fifty-three to eight, and fifty to eleven)


The pairs are the same character but written in a different style (I'm not sure on the correct terms to be used here), so either みとり　しろ　あお　はた or ミトリ シロ アオ ハタ works for the next step.

Translating, you get “Midori Shiro Ao Hata” which again translates to “Green White Blue Flag”. The flag in question is Sierra Leone.


Puzzle 11

Take out all the words unrelated to math: picture, yak, travel, hat, aglet, green, ore, reef, almond, sauce.
Their first letters spell out “Pythagoras”.

Find all of the Pythagorean triples, both primitive and multiples, in the image. Draw lines connecting all of them together.



The lines all pass through a specific letter. They are: oraxraflndeoreiakaaa.

Unscramble the letters, and get “heroofalexandriaaka”.

The Hero of Alexandria is Heron.


Puzzle 12

Right click -> Inspect -> Console -> “Some emerald values seem more common than others”

The emerald values are
1, 7, 8, 9, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20

Index with the alphabet -> unscramble the letters -> “histogram”

This part may be tedious for some, but what you have to essentially do now, is to take a sample size of 100-300 items from the loot chests, and map their levels on a histogram. You’ll find that items with levels 34-36, 54-56, 68-70, and 83-85 are the most common.

The bars spell out “LE”.

The answer is liquid emerald.


Puzzle 13

Each “sentence” contains two separate definitions. Find both words and combine them.

Disclose -> Make it known (6)

Passages -> Channels (1)

Limerick -> Poem (4)

Covering -> Awning (7)

Thousand -> Number (2)

Surfaces -> Uppermost one (5)

Transplant -> Move (4)

Packaged -> Wrapped (8)

Feathers -> Down (8)

Template -> Starting point (5)

Carrot -> Delicious (2)

Pleasing -> Satisfying (1)

Exposure -> Vulnerability (3)

Tension -> Strain (5)

Leveraging -> Using to maximum (9)

Gemstone -> Jewelry (1)

Take a letter from each word based on the number given -> “openhandslapping” -> “spanking”

Insert it in the underscores -> “Spain King”

The current King of Spain is Felipe VI.


Puzzle 14

Find all the items using WynnData based on their descriptions. Some have names associated with numbers, the rest have names with “start” and “end” or synonyms for both.


Seven League Boots -> 7th letter of “league boots” -> b

Third Eye -> 3rd letter of “eye” -> e

The End -> end of “the” -> e

Firestarter -> start of “fire” -> f



Backfire -> back of “fire” -> e

Foreboding -> 4th letter of “boding” -> i

Lasting -> last of “ing” -> g

Hero's Beginning -> beginning of “hero’s” -> h

Fourchette -> 4th letter of “chette” -> t

Backlash -> back of “lash” -> h



Pulse Starter -> start of “pulse” -> p

Backstaff -> back of “staff” -> f



Pulse Starter -> start of “pulse” -> p

Revolutionine -> 9th letter of “revolution” -> o

End of Limits -> end of “limits” -> s

One Thousand Voices -> 1st letter of “thousand voices” -> t



Find the 8th profile post of @RamonaFlowers (clue was given in the last sentence of the opening image) and you’ll find this link: https://pastebin.com/raw/Hye9vWRt

Each item’s name contains a particular trigonometric function e.g. sin, cos, tan, cot, sec

Sort the items by price, run the function with the items’ levels as theta through an online high-precision calculator.
