As an added warning, it starts out difficult! You must be persistent. It's hard, but not impossible as you can tell from the leaderboard: http://riddle.nirajsanghvi.com/leader1.php

After trying Sam's web riddle, I'm scared to try this one out! :)

So many puzzles! So little time!

At least it's a Bank Holiday here in the UK this weekend. Maybe I'll get a chance to try it out!

I'll play on this across the weekend ..!! :)-

Flex the gray muscles

Thanks for the post Niraj! The first puzzle is always awkward because it's hard to estimate how difficult the author intended it to be. So thanks! :-)

To arms!

Actually, some of the feedback we got seems to show that the first puzzle is one of the hardest...are you up to the challenge? :)

The rest are certainly not easy, but they're probably easier than the first. Though of course it seems to vary widely from person-to-person.

I'm DEFINITELY up to the challenge. :-)

Go Sam! :-D Good work.

Hey, can anyone who has finished the puzzle, please make sure the following puzzle is still able to be solved:

I'm glad you made it here. If you're feeling lucky in this town, you can find some often asked questions. Go to the first place you see.

I don't this post will give anything away, but if so, please feel free to delete it!

Nevermind. lol

Grr... CJ that is the one that I am stuck on. *sigh* But I suppose it is solveable since you seem to 'nevermind' it so easily.

Yeah, sorry. It's solvable.

And. . . . DONE. :-)

CJ, nice job! And yes, for the puzzle you mentioned, it became much more difficult to solve. If you refresh it, there is now an extra hint in the source.

Scrap what I said. If anyone is on the "feeling lucky" riddle, hit refresh to see the new replaced riddle. The old one became too difficult. The answer is still the same, so everything else should be the same even for those who haven't gotten there yet.

Oh my that one is much easier :-) Thanks.

Argh, I'm stuck on the first one! I thought it was morse code but then the 5s don't fit :(

Can't talk here. Others will hear us. Listen for the taps. When we get out, meet me in (1,4) (1,5) (3,3) (5,1) (1,5) (4,2). If I can trust you, you will be rewarded.

Niraj, I used Google's cache to solve it after it become more difficult to solve. I thought you wrote it like that on purpose!

Nope. But we've rewritten it (again) to resolve the problem.

Tiara, it certainly is a code. You may find the "Stuck?" link helpful (it's on every riddle page).

Done with it. I have a question, though (I'll edit out any identifying terms for other levels).

"... you could have an Italian Beef. But I prefer this kind."

I don't understand how Italian Beef and the subanswer of #10 are the same "kinds" of anything. Is that a bit of local color I don't understand?

Yes, it is a local thing for the city that was mentioned in 9. However, it was intentionally vague, as knowing that answer would allow you to do a shortcut in #10! :)

Are the numbers for 10 843 662? Because somehow I still can't find the answer from those numbers?

Jesse, it mentions the numbers will be sent to a phone. This should help you translate the numbers into a name.

Niraj – thanks for the reply. My suggestion, if you want it to remain vague but not be confusing ("this kind" implies that the answer might be a sandwich, which it is not) would be to change the line to:

"... you could have an Italian Beef. But I prefer this."

I think Niraj should make it clear that in the first puzzle, I and J are together.
That would be fairer

mattura, you don't need that information if you successfully use the hint (you will find it). If not, it is much harder to find the solution.

Buffcoat, we didn't really want that to be guessable, as it lets you skip a step. So vague and confusing is good in this case :)

hey where do you go for the first one im completely stuck

atlee, go to http://riddle.nirajsanghvi.com and read the instructions. After that if you go to the first puzzle and are still stuck, click on the "Stuck?" link at the bottom and it will give you some hints.

The first one is actually one of the hardest, so some persistance will pay off!
