Test Your Wits! The Riddle Thread V.13

Welcome to the Harry Potter riddles thread, located in the lovely village of Little Hangleton (Town Motto: Producing evil Riddles since 1927). Version 12 of this thread can be found here (it will be there for a week or two, then it will be deleted :( ). Our very own pub is located over here (http://theidledratherd.proboards50.com/index.cgi).


A few "rules," although pretty much anything goes here:

1) If you wish to post a riddle, please keep a limit of one riddle at a time. We make a very occasional exception to this rule if the riddle is extremely short and easy and you wish to post several of the same type. If you are unsure feel free to ask.

2) There are usually multiple open riddles at any given time. Therefore, when making guesses for a riddle, please either quote the riddle you are referring to or state the name of the person whose riddle you are guessing on.

3) When you guess on a riddle, try to include at least some reasoning as to how you came to your conclusion(s). The riddle writer is in a much better position to respond to your guess if he/she knows why you guessed a tadfoal, Mrs. Mason's cousin, or sneezewort and scurvy-grass. This also prevents people from randomly guessing a correct answer without actually solving the riddle.

4) Riddles can take almost any form imaginable and can be as hard or as easy as you would like to make them as long as they're related to the Harry Potter world in some way. However, to make the riddles fair for everyone, please do not make riddles that refer to page numbers, chapter pictures, book covers, or anything else that is not the same or does not appear in all versions of the books. Violations of this rule will be punished by frequent usage of the :grumble: icon, so don't say you haven't been warned!

5) Have fun! :)


Reposts will be made at intervals so that you can keep track of which riddles are open and which are solved, and also as a compilation of any information gathered for each riddle. Pending guesses are often posted in the repost, so check your riddle for any progress.

- Find a way to split these numbers into groups. There is a pattern that is common in all the groups of numbers so when you split them look for patterns and you'll know you split it correctly. Solve Riddle to find the name of a Harry Potter character.
see post

Clues: There are 44 numbers, and they split evenly, so the amount of numbers in a single group times the number of groups will give you 44. That gives several choices:
.2 groups of 22 numbers
.4 groups of 11 numbers
.11 groups of 4 numbers
.22 groups of 2 numbers
I suggest you try each groupings and look for the trend, it is something that links one group of numbers to the previous.


X: I noticed you told us to be looking for a trend that connects "groups of numbers," referring to the separate digits. Does that mean we should not look at the numbers as multi-digit numbers, but as groupings of single-digit numbers?

J: I'll show a small example of the problem youface:

68643432 << this can be split into 6864 + 3432 as the first term in the group is half of the previous first term, same with the second and same with the third and forth.

The difference in the actual riddle is that not all the terms are linked like the one above, it might be that only one term in a grouping is linked to the others. Don't worry, if it's the first term in the grouping that is significant then it'll be the first all the way through. Also, in the example above it is split into fours, this may/may not be the case in the riddle.


G, L, C, N, V, P
E, F, N, O, V, F, I


- Rolling a 2 and a 5 is a good place to start.
see post


P: Here's a first attempt for your riddle. I added two letters to the first row and five to the second. They don't seem to mean anything to me as they are, so I could be just very wrong.

I, M, E, P, X, R
J, K, S, T, A, K, N

DEJ:nope sorry Puchy
and good clue to put here.......monopoly for example


twins:I've converted the letters to numbers then I've tried Rolling the numbers first by 2 then that total by 5 this is what I got .

G = 7 + 2 = 9 + 5 = 14 ....................I, N
L = 12 + 2 = 14 + 5 = 19 .................N,S
C = 3 + 2 = 5 + 5 = 10.....................E ,K
N = 14 + 2 = 16 + 5 = 21..................P,U
V = 22 + 2 = 24 + 5 = 29..................X,C

P = 16 + 2 = 18 + 5 = 23..................R,W

E = 5 + 2 = 7 + 5 + 12.....................G,L
F = 6 + 2 = 8 + 5 = 13.....................H,M
N = 14 + 2 = 16 + 5 = 21..................P,U
O = 15 + 2 = 17 + 5 = 22.................Q,V
V = 22 + 2 = 24 + 5 = 29.................X,C
F = 6 + 2 = 8 + 5 = 13....................H,M
I = 9 + 2 = 11 + 5 + 16...................K,P

For the 29 I rolled 26 over and got 26 + 3 =29 , 3=C

Is this going in the right direction DEJ. ???

DEJ: that is the right step and either you or i did something wrong but the next letters are
N, S, J, U, C, W
L, M, U, V, C, M, P
with a jump 7 letters forward
Renbums are a good way to go now


twins: Ok switching those letters to numbers and adding 7 I get ;
21 26 17 28 10 30

19 20 28 29 10 20 23

Converting those back to letters I get
U Z Q B J D

S T B C J T W

I must have done something wrong here .
Can you tell me how many steps there is in your riddle Please ?

DEJ: two or three more steps and forget 7 now but the j and the two c's were italic for a reason!
On a completely unrelated note since i live in ohio i now have to wrap my coat tightly around me.

Well, if you break the numbers up into groups of 4 then the first digit in each set is the second digit of the previous set.
i.e. 5143 1022 0100 1681 6850 8705 7215 2440 4484 4010 0963

I'm not sure if that's the answer but it seems to be the direction he was explaining. But, it doesn't work for the first set since there isn't a previous but...yea :)

No clue what HP character that could connect to, I'll work on a bit more and see if I can figure anything else out.

Other than Harry and Dumbledore, which character in Harry Potter is said to have a scar with an unusual property?
see post

- It is not: Arthur, Bill, Lee Jordan, Nearly Headless Nick, Moody with his missing eye, the Sorting Hat
- The Dark Mark is not a scar
Clue: A real scar that has a very unusual property. And remember that "Unusual property" doesn't include "being caused by something odd". A scar which can actually do something.
- It does not have to be magical to have a unique property.


Evilrabbit: Is the character Ron, because of the brain marks on his arms, which he thinks should make him more attractive to girls? Or Moody, whose missing eye, leg, and chunk of nose could be considered scars, and the eye has special powers? Or Arthur Weasley, because his snake bite scars don't heal properly due to the venom? Or Hagrid, whose face scars don't heal even though he supposedly left behind the giants a long time ago? Or Lupin/Bill, because their werewolf bite scars give them wolf powers? Not sure if any of these are technically "unusual properties".

Tibbs: Not quite what I am looking for. I meant the scar itself is unusual, not how he got the scars.


It's just frustrating me because I can't think of any "scar" that "does" something other than Harry's...

People with known scars other than Harry and Dumbledore (that I can remember ):
Ron (brain scar),
Moody (assorted auror antics),
Marietta (snitch scar),
Arthur (snake scar),
Lee Jordan (Umbridge scar),
Sir Nick (head ),
Hagrid (Grawp/magical creature wrestling scars),
Dudley (pigtail scar, probably),
Bill & Remus (werewolf scars),
Dobby (always hurting himself so I assume...), for that matter
Fred & George (in pursuit of the perfect wheeze, certainly that leaves a mark)
DE's (dark mark...m/b not technically a 'scar'),

And just to relieve my insanity you have confirmed that it is an actual scar, that really does somethin, on an actual bodypart, on an actual person, in the series? You said it wasn't Arthur's flying scar , but it's not some other play on words like...the scar on the book that ends the series (last word), right?

The turtles fight for peace of mind
One name is what you must now find - Voldemort? (Sine no one wants to say his name)
You will not find without the master - Fidelius Charm?
The name of one who flies much faster - Firebolt?

You probably wanted HP un-related words but oh well...

Ginny almost lost hers, and so almost did Harry
Aragog lost his and so did Barty, Cedric, and Quirrel
What they lost or almost lost is what these don't have
But they that don't have this do have this in some sort of way
And if they catch you, you might go their way

Who are they and what do they not (or kind of) have?

im probably wrong but is it their lives?
feel free to label me as crazy!

Ok, so we had a riddle contest in English class a few weeks ago, and there was one that was up there that took me forever to figure out. I'm not sure how hard it really is, especially for you all, but I'll post it here anyway. I'm not sure if it's already been done in the past or not. The originall had nothing to do with HP, so I'm tweaking it a bit. Anyway, here goes:

Lucius Malfoy thinks Snape is a traitor, and kidnaps him, and decides to kill him, so he can't spill anything else to the Order. Before Malfoy kills Snape, he allows him to make one last statement. Lucius tells Snape "If I think what you say is true, I'll AK you. If I think what you say is false, I'll burn you at the stake." Snape says one sentence that makes Lucius so angry and confused, that he let's Snape go free. What did Snape say??

P.S.: Ok, I know you can't technically burn wizards, but just go with it. Also, I used these two characters because it worked.

The turtles fight for peace of mind
One name is what you must now find
You will not find without the master
The name of one who flies much faster
hmm...well turtles made me think of the pawns in wizards chess. I suppose the chess master would be Ron...a piece that "flies" faster than a pawn is pretty much all of them, but you can't spell rook without "R" "O" :shrug:
dunno if that's even remotely near, but ....

Ginny almost lost hers, and so almost did Harry
Aragog lost his and so did Barty, Cedric, and Quirrel
What they lost or almost lost is what these don't have
But they that don't have this do have this in some sort of way
And if they catch you, you might go their way

Who are they and what do they not (or kind of) have?
I think you're right ctyizen that it's their lives, so "these" are not alive (sort of) and if they catch you, you might die? Is it dementors?

Snape says one sentence that makes Lucius so angry and confused, that he let's Snape go free. What did Snape say??
:hmm: "You will burn me at the stake" ?? :lol: cause if it's true, then he'd AK him and it wouldn't be true, and if it's false he'd burn him and it would be true. If that makes any sense at all...which I guess was the point...now I'm confused :scared:

Yeah, that's right. It took me forever to figure it out, and once I did I was like "Wait.. what??"

Yeah, that's right. It took me forever to figure it out, and once I did I was like "Wait.. what??"
:lol: yay, It's a good riddle though. Reminds me of princess bride--"I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you...Inconceivable" :err:

I will only confess the answer if you have both parts correct.

I agree with kala_way that they are dementors but it's souls they don't have, except when they suck them out of others.

I dunno how easy or hard this'll be, but it was fun to make :D

Professor Flitwick must charm the name cards for the new years seating chart at the high table, but Professor Dumbledore was in high spirits when giving his directions and thus mapped out his orders in a riddle. 13 staff members must be placed.

I survey the school I love, and wish the central place above.
Aligned to oversee their clan, let the heads our table span.
My right hand this cat may be, but last of all she’ll take her tea.
First to jet is her great rival, though his cheer may need revival.
We’ll ensure the prompt arrival, of one who’ll see to his survival.

I’d love to reach the stars each night, but all that’s left is a hasty flight.
Divine omens she’ll nightly find, where dark and light do meet in kind.
Beside your place beneath the dome, should be the one who loves each tome.
Flanked by creatures he’ll not sneeze, though he’d do anything to please.
One last place should stand unfilled, her number’s three, she will be thrilled.

:hmm: I seem to have missed something but what ???

Just one thing...one small little thing.

Just one thing...one small little thing.

HARRY POTTER ♥ GINNY WEASLEY

Harry loves Ginny!:love:

Ginny almost lost hers, and so almost did Harry
Aragog lost his and so did Barty, Cedric, and Quirrel
What they lost or almost lost is what these don't have
But they that don't have this do have this in some sort of way
And if they catch you, you might go their way

Who are they and what do they not (or kind of) have?

Inferi, and their lives.
EDIT: dam, i was just reading through from page 1 and when i saw it i answered it, then realise it was answered.

Prof McGonagall must be on his right, but I'm not sure what the second bit means...
First to jet is her great rival, though his cheer may need revival.
Not sure what you mean by 'jet'... I think this means Snape, so possibly you're just referring to his jet black hair?

How is it she if its unfilled?


Those are just some thoughts, I haven't really got anywhere :lol:.

Want a clue for mine?
:agree: yes!

Okay, kala, here goes ... :shrug:
...
Those are just some thoughts, I haven't really got anywhere :lol:.
You got the right staff members for the clues you picked out, but only got the placement of Dumbledore :) And I did say "staff members" in general not just teachers. ;)

I'm not quite sure about the placings yet, so I'll just go for a few more staff members...
I survey the school I love, and wish the central place above. Dumbledore
Aligned to oversee their clan, let the heads our table span.
My right hand this cat may be, but last of all she’ll take her tea. McGonagall
First to jet is her great rival, though his cheer may need revival.Snape
We’ll ensure the prompt arrival, of one who’ll see to his survival. I think this is wrong, but Filch?

I’d love to reach the stars each night, but all that’s left is a hasty flight. Sinastra
Divine omens she’ll nightly find, where dark and light do meet in kind. Trelawney
Beside your place beneath the dome, should be the one who loves each tome. Madam Pince, the librarian?
Flanked by creatures he’ll not sneeze, though he’d do anything to please. Hagrid
One last place should stand unfilled, her number’s three, she will be thrilled. :hmm: The new DADA teacher, maybe?

So, do 3 have two members of staff?

You've got DD, MM, SS, AS, ST, MP, and RH--7 :) 6 more. This happened during one of Harry's years so the DA teacher is known :D

:hmm: Could it possibly be GoF, with the Karakoff and Maxie? ( thats just a random uess :p)

And order,
7.Dumbledore
13.McGonagall

I'm stumped. :hmm:

I reckon that if the Heads of Houses are 'spanning' the table, they should be equally spaced out. So there should be three seats between each of them. If Dumbeldore is in the centre, MM at one end and SS at the other, here is my first attempt:

McGonagall - ? - Vector - ? - Head - ? - Dumbledore - ? - Head - ? - ? - ? - Snape

I think that: her number’s three, she will be thrilled = Prof. Vector
And wherever Flitwick is, Madam Pince is next to him.

And: We’ll ensure the prompt arrival, of one who’ll see to his survival = Sprout, because the three Heads of Houses are being described first.

You're good! Do the places the houses sit change each year? I'll check it out on the lexicon... because the Heads must be where their respective houses are.

ETA:
Closest to the doors from the Entrance Hall is Slytherin, then Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and next to the far wall, Gryffindor (this order may possibly be reversed, depending on how you orient the room to the entrance hall). The teachers sit at the High Table, a table on a raised platform at the front of the room.

So assuming McGonagall is at the end:

Snape - ? - Vector - ? - Flitwick - ? - Dumbledore - ? - Sprout - ? - ? - ? - McGonagall

Ah, but that doesn't work as Vector isn't next to Flitwick there...:shrug:

Good work :tu: I think that looks right. Vector doesn't need to be next to Flitwick as far as I can see, just Pince. So if this line:

I’d love to reach the stars each night, but all that’s left is a hasty flight = Sinastra & Madam Hooch

means that Sinastra and Hooch are on the left, and so is Pince, then we have the left side filled. Just need to sort out the order of them. Based on 'Hasty flight' being 'left' of Dumbledore, I think this order is most likely:

Snape - Sinastra - Vector - Pince - Flitwick - Hooch - Dumbledore - ? - Sprout - ? - ? - ? - McGonagall



EDIT: Summing up the lines

I survey the school I love, and wish the central place above. (Dumbledore #7)

Beside your place beneath the dome, (Flitwick #5) should be the one who loves each tome. (Madam Pince #4)

One last place should stand unfilled, (either an empty seat, or Binns who doesn't eat) her number’s three, she will be thrilled. (Vector #3)

Hmm, two more people to find :er:

I’d love to reach
Could this mean Dumbledore is next to Sinastra, and can 'reach' her?


And the other two are tw oout of Pomfrey, Binns( does he eat though? :no:) and on of the DADA teachers, I think...

OK, I think this line:

We’ll ensure the prompt arrival, of one who’ll see to his survival = DADA teacher

Because the position is cursed and Snape wanted it, so not getting it ensured he stayed in the Potions job. It could be Moody, because he arrived during the Sorting Ceremony that year.

This is starting to look like a game of Mastermind: right name, wrong position :lol: How many black pegs, kala_way? :)

Your Snape logic is creative, but not the direction I went...I thought that "see to his survival" was pretty straightforward :scared: and if you combine it with the "prompt"...:D

Hey, who's over there "flanking" Hagrid?? :whistle:

CPT here, did Lupin 'see to' his survival in the werewolf prank? :shrug:
And *lightbulb* will Hagrid not sneeze because Madam Pomfrey is next to him?

I was thinking of you at school eariler today Tiberius. See, my english teacher is pregnant, so she was telling us all how when people ask her what she's going to name her child, she gives them fake names, and one was Tiberius Nicodemus, and it reminded me of you. But anyway, on to the point, I've been trying for forever to figure out your scar riddle, and I can't think of anything. I have a feeling when we do finally get the answer, everyone will be smacking themselves on the heads.

I'm sure I will be. I just can't think of anything else. If you give a hint I'll try again, but I just don't know what other direction to go :shrug:

Or maybe smacking me. :p

Tell your teacher I think Tiberius is a wonderful name.

Is there anyone at all still working on mine? I'll withdraw it if no one is.
Is it Merlin or one of the other Chocolate Frog Card characters? I started going through them and if I'm on the right track I'll keep going.

Nope, not anyone on a chocfrog card.

Could we have another hint, Tibs?

Okay, kala ... how has Lupin saved Snape? :shrug: And Mme Pomefrey is matron - what does flanked have to d owith that? I'll leave those for sho :p.

Snape - ? - Vector - Pince - Flitwick - Sinastra- Dumbledore - Hooch - Sprout - ? - ? - ? - McGonagall

I've got it! (I think)


Snape - Pomfrey - Vector - Pince - Flitwick - Sinistra - Dumbledore - Hooch - Sprout - (Binns) - Lupin - Hagrid - McGonagall

Lupin is 'where dark and light do meet in kind'. Hagrid is flanked by the cat and the wolf, which solves that end of the table. Pomfrey, who ensures Snape's survival, is next to him, leaving the final places for Hooch at Dumbledore's right hand, and Binns' place stands empty.

Another hint for mine...

The answer begins with "N"

N... Neville?

Harry and Neville both lost their parents in a way. And maybe you mean the inner scars they have from this loss. :scared:

Nymphadora Tonks, because whatever scars she gets, they can magically go away?

I've got it! (I think)

Snape - Pomfrey - Vector - Pince - Flitwick - Sinistra - Dumbledore - Hooch - Sprout - (Binns) - Lupin - Hagrid - McGonagall

Lupin is 'where dark and light do meet in kind'. Hagrid is flanked by the cat and the wolf, which solves that end of the table. Pomfrey, who ensures Snape's survival, is next to him, leaving the final places for Hooch at Dumbledore's right hand, and Binns' place stands empty.

You're almost there! Binns isn't at the table, but you've named the person beside Lupin before--from the same line!

Well done sho! :clap: It isn't Binns, so it's Trelawney :).
Snape - Pomfrey - Vector - Pince - Flitwick - Sinistra - Dumbledore - Hooch - Sprout - Trelawney - Lupin - Hagrid - McGonagall

Good riddle, kala! ( and I just noticed, completely off topic, but you have 500 posts for 500 days :lol:).

Not Neville or Tonks....

:lol:

Tibs, first name or last name is an 'N'?

Tibs is the character Human ? not an animal/Ghost/ Goblin/Centaur/plant ???

Not Neville or Tonks....

(You guys are going to hate me when you know the answer...)
I think that's likely! :grumble: just kidding :p :D

I looked through the Leixon character pages and there are only a few human characters with N names--Neville, Nymphadora, and Nearly Headless Nick have already been ruled out.

Pretty much just leaves--Theodore Nott (I know zilch about him, I think he's only mentioned once or twice), Nott Sr. (who got hit by some curse in the MoM battle, but I don't have my book with me so I can't check if he got any scar from it), Narcissa Malfoy (:hmm: dunno), Nicholas Flamel (who I don't remember ever hearing had any sort of scar but I could be wrong), and Phineus Nigellus (again I don't remember anything about a scar:shrug:). There are a few more really minor characters that I've never heard of, but...yay...:sigh:

I suppose it could be a non-human character, but I can't remember off hand any with N names...JKR doesn't seem to like N names very much for some reason

It's not Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback is it?

yes! the answer to my riddle is NOBODY!

Oh Tibbs, you should run, run as fast as you can. :no:

But we came up with plenty of people with scars that are sort of special in some way. Namely Moody, Bill, and Arthur. And the only way those answers could be wrong is if there was an another character who was a better fit. You may not consider werewolf powers, room for a magical eye, and stitch dissolving to be unusual properties, but they are when you compare them to ... nothing. [/rant]

here's another one.

A place to rest, with a bit of a pirate in it, I am both good and evil, young and old, strict and unorthodox. I lived after my death until I killed myself, and though I still live, all that I am is gone. One like me claimed to be me, and I later claimed to be one like me.

This one is a proper riddle, and I think it's a bit on the easy side, so you'll have to explain each clue before I give you the point.

I think it's Lord Voldemort, but I can't make all the clues fit:

I lived after my death until I killed myself,
He died once when he lost the name of Tom Riddle, then he killed himself with the backfiring AK.

and though I still live, all that I am is gone.
He's alive but his humanity is destroyed.

One like me claimed to be me,
The Riddle from the Diary

and I later claimed to be one like me.
Not sure. I'll come back and think about the rest later.

A place to rest, with a bit of a pirate in it, I am both good and evil, young and old, strict and unorthodox. I lived after my death until I killed myself, and though I still live, all that I am is gone. One like me claimed to be me, and I later claimed to be one like me.

hmm...well at first I thought it was a ghost, like Moaning Mytle, but that didn't fit a lot of the clues. Or perhaps Peter Pettigrew, but again that was hard to fit to the clues. So I think it's Barty Crouch Jr, but I haven't figured all the clues out yet.

A place to rest, with a bit of a pirate in it, --:hmm: no clue here, pirate?? ship? the trunk?

I am both good and evil, young and old, strict and unorthodox. --good and evil: Moody and Crouch--taught some good things, but still evil. Technically young, but was in Moody's body (and his mom's body before that). Strict and unorthodox--that's definitely his teaching style (ferret anyone!).

I lived after my death until I killed myself,--faked his own death, did he try to kill himself? I don't remember (this clue fits Peter Pettigrew better

and though I still live, all that I am is gone. --still alive, because he was given the dementors kiss, alive but his soul is gone

One like me claimed to be me, and I later claimed to be one like me.--his mother claimed to be him, and heclaimed to be Moody..."one like me" I dunno, male?--did Crouch Jr. have any profession before he turned? Again this one fits Pettigrew a bit better...:whistle:

With a bit of pirate in it is definitely: ARRRRR

With a bit of pirate in it is definitely: ARRRRR
Laaaaird Voldemort or Baaaarty Crouch Jr. :huh:

Laaaaird Voldemort or Baaaarty Crouch Jr.


How about ARRGus Flich? :lol:

kala is definitely on the right track, very close!

Ok, I'm adding on to what you've done so far, kala_way, if you don't mind.
I'm thinking it's both Barty Crouches, if that makes sense at all. I'm put what I think in purple in the quote.

And if this happens to be right, kala_way should get the credit.

Since I think it's both Jr. and Sr., well, Sr. was good, while Jr. was evil. Sr. was old, Jr., young. Sr. was very strict, while Jr., in becoming a DE, was unorthodox.

I lived after my death until I killed myself,--faked his own death, did he try to kill himself? I don't remember (this clue fits Peter Pettigrew better Well, Jr. lived on after everyone thought he was dead, by oretending to be his mother, then hiding in his father's house. Then, since I believe it's Barty Crouch in general, Jr. killed Sr.

and though I still live, all that I am is gone. --still alive, because he was given the dementors kiss, alive but his soul is goneNothing to add here.

One like me claimed to be me, and I later claimed to be one like me.--his mother claimed to be him, and heclaimed to be Moody..."one like me" I dunno, male?--did Crouch Jr. have any profession before he turned? Again this one fits Pettigrew a bit better...:whistle: Jr. Pretended to be Sr. when braking into Snape's office on the Marauder's Map, and being Moody meant that Jr. was pretending to be an auror, like Sr.

A place to rest, with a bit of a pirate in it, -- no clue here, pirate?? ship? the trunk? Jr. transformed Sr. into a bone, and buried him, sort of like buried treasure, plus the skull and cross bones for a pirate flag.

Not quite.

Murzim, you say "a letter is missing in each word the missing letters tell the solution" so does that mean that each line creates only 1 word? really long word ;) Are they Potter-words? I just can't seem to come up with any anagrams with one word that use all the letters (adding an extra letter or not)...Maybe I'm goin the wrong direction...:err:

You’re right, that was misleading sorry. I meant to say ‘term’ not ‘word’ :blush:.
You are looking for names (all Harry Potterish of course) and each line gives first and last name of a person, so it’s two words.

There’s a letter missing in each name, add one letter and anagram them and you’ve got it.

I had to use the anagram server to get the first one (and gabardines as well :blush:), and I still don't think it's right :shrug: because I can't find another name with those first few letters--maybe I'm blind.
I can't find any anagram for #9--it you change the I to an A it could be neuronatal :lol: but I don't think that's right either because the first name is McGonagall.
Can you double check it, or maybe somebody else can help me out.

Tiberius

To try and finish this - but the credit goes to kala and 8m

A place to rest, with a bit of a pirate in it,
Place to rest = couch
+
Pirate = r (arrrr!)
= Crouch

One like me claimed to be me, and I later claimed to be one like me
Jr's mother claimed to be him, and Jr claimed to be his mother. They swapped places using Polyjuice.

Almost. Right about the pirate bit, but "and I later claimed to be one like me" is still unsolved....

Almost. Right about the pirate bit, but "and I later claimed to be one like me" is still unsolved.... When Harry had seen Barty Crouch on the Marauders Map, he (Jr.) claimed that it had been his father.

Again, it fits, but not quite what I am looking for.

Almost. Right about the pirate bit, but "and I later claimed to be one like me" is still unsolved....

could it maybe be that Jr then claimed to be a minestry official, just like Sr???

probably not but its all i could think of

Almost. Right about the pirate bit, but "and I later claimed to be one like me" is still unsolved....
Another two guesses:
1.Jr. sat in the top box at the World Cup, taking his fathers place.
2.When Jr set up the Dark Mark he sort of claimed to be Voldemort calling his DE's to order.

Not yet.... :D

are we close at least??? lol

Crouch took Moody's place, who also was a little crazy and imprisoned in an awful, depressing place and his interests had to do with the dark arts...but not a big resemblance.

Also he set up the dark mark, kinda claiming it was HP whose mother had also died for him and he lived for years with awful relatives, but still too little similarities.

Any other case when he claimed to be his father? (Imperius curses don't count, I guess?)

yes, Crouch claimed to be Moody - who was like him as in he was another wizard. Yay!

I found it?

:agree:

so. can some one update me with the open riddles? k thanks!!!

Open Riddles:



51431022010016816850870572152440448440100963

- Find a way to split these numbers into groups. There is a pattern that is common in all the groups of numbers so when you split them look for patterns and you'll know you split it correctly. Solve Riddle to find the name of a Harry Potter character.

Clues: There are 44 numbers, and they split evenly, so the amount of numbers in a single group times the number of groups will give you 44. That gives several choices:
.2 groups of 22 numbers
.4 groups of 11 numbers
.11 groups of 4 numbers
.22 groups of 2 numbers
I suggest you try each groupings and look for the trend, it is something that links one group of numbers to the previous.


X: I noticed you told us to be looking for a trend that connects "groups of numbers," referring to the separate digits. Does that mean we should not look at the numbers as multi-digit numbers, but as groupings of single-digit numbers?

J: I'll show a small example of the problem youface:

68643432 << this can be split into 6864 + 3432 as the first term in the group is half of the previous first term, same with the second and same with the third and forth.

The difference in the actual riddle is that not all the terms are linked like the one above, it might be that only one term in a grouping is linked to the others. Don't worry, if it's the first term in the grouping that is significant then it'll be the first all the way through. Also, in the example above it is split into fours, this may/may not be the case in the riddle.


G, L, C, N, V, P
E, F, N, O, V, F, I

- Rolling a 2 and a 5 is a good place to start.


P: Here's a first attempt for your riddle. I added two letters to the first row and five to the second. They don't seem to mean anything to me as they are, so I could be just very wrong.

I, M, E, P, X, R
J, K, S, T, A, K, N

DEJ:nope sorry Puchy
and good clue to put here.......monopoly for example


twins:I've converted the letters to numbers then I've tried Rolling the numbers first by 2 then that total by 5 this is what I got .

G = 7 + 2 = 9 + 5 = 14 ....................I, N
L = 12 + 2 = 14 + 5 = 19 .................N,S
C = 3 + 2 = 5 + 5 = 10.....................E ,K
N = 14 + 2 = 16 + 5 = 21..................P,U
V = 22 + 2 = 24 + 5 = 29..................X,C

P = 16 + 2 = 18 + 5 = 23..................R,W

E = 5 + 2 = 7 + 5 + 12.....................G,L
F = 6 + 2 = 8 + 5 = 13.....................H,M
N = 14 + 2 = 16 + 5 = 21..................P,U
O = 15 + 2 = 17 + 5 = 22.................Q,V
V = 22 + 2 = 24 + 5 = 29.................X,C
F = 6 + 2 = 8 + 5 = 13....................H,M
I = 9 + 2 = 11 + 5 + 16...................K,P

For the 29 I rolled 26 over and got 26 + 3 =29 , 3=C

Is this going in the right direction DEJ. ???

DEJ: that is the right step and either you or i did something wrong but the next letters are
N, S, J, U, C, W
L, M, U, V, C, M, P
with a jump 7 letters forward
Renbums are a good way to go now


twins: Ok switching those letters to numbers and adding 7 I get ;
21 26 17 28 10 30

19 20 28 29 10 20 23

Converting those back to letters I get
U Z Q B J D

S T B C J T W

I must have done something wrong here .
Can you tell me how many steps there is in your riddle Please ?

DEJ: two or three more steps and forget 7 now but the j and the two c's were italic for a reason!
On a completely unrelated note since i live in ohio i now have to wrap my coat tightly around me.

Well, if you break the numbers up into groups of 4 then the first digit in each set is the second digit of the previous set.
i.e. 5143 1022 0100 1681 6850 8705 7215 2440 4484 4010 0963

I'm not sure if that's the answer but it seems to be the direction he was explaining. But, it doesn't work for the first set since there isn't a previous but...yea :)

No clue what HP character that could connect to, I'll work on a bit more and see if I can figure anything else out.

I'm not sure if that's the answer but it seems to be the direction he was explaining. But, it doesn't work for the first set since there isn't a previous but...yea :)

No clue what HP character that could connect to, I'll work on a bit more and see if I can figure anything else out.

Clue:- Spanish Word


sho: I've ruled out phone code because there are 0s and 1s in your riddle.
Are you using keyboard code? e.g. 2 = w, s or x

Mumbo: 25519

- There are 2 or 3 steps. Whichever way you look at it.


The turtles fight for peace of mind
One name is what you must now find
You will not find without the master
The name of one who flies much faster

Jezzer350's and DeatheaterJ's have been on here so long ,I wonder if we shouldn't just delete them as unsolvable and abandoned ?Let me know .
DeatheaterJ hasn't logged on since Oct.06 ,Jezzer350 is still active though.

I'd agree we could let them go now. Also Mumbonumbo has not signed in since January and I don't think we're going to find an answer to that one either :shrug:

My last anagram was around for ages before anyone solved it, so was the WOE MAY BURNT SITE. I'd say send Jezzer an owl to ask for clues before deleting the riddle (I'd like to know what it's about)

I've never been too good with these, but let's give it a shot:

The turtles fight for peace of mind
One name is what you must now find - Voldemort? (Sine no one wants to say his name)
You will not find without the master - Fidelius Charm?
The name of one who flies much faster - Firebolt?

You probably wanted HP un-related words but oh well...Wow, over a month later I respond. How's that for timing? ;)

I do apologize though, I didn't see the post until I was looking at the repost.

Alas...not what I'm looking for. You aren't looking for individual words per line, you need to look at it as a whole.

Oky, here's another seating chart one, I think it's a bit easier than the last (:scared: probably) since it's not as strict.
Long, rectangular table, 14 people total:

Ron is in charge of setting the head table for the Weasley’s wedding celebration. Hermione has given him a set of instructions for where to seat people, but she wasn’t very clear and she’s clearly rubbish at poetry.

Beside their better half they’ll eat, or most will wish to move their seat.
Alpha males will cap each end, head of house and furry friend.
Four red heads adorn each side, as long as Tonks stays purple dyed.
All the girls but she and I, are flanked by only boys nearby.
To the right of each end cap, sits their love and other half.
The tamer will sit to your right, and curb the clones for us tonight.
Across from him, with flaxen hair, rests the blushing bride so fair.
Across from me your lovely sis, betwixt two brave curse breakers sits.

Dragonfly: I've been thinking of yours off and on for awhile. The first line totally throws me off though--all I can connect to it are teenage mutant ninja turtles and the weird chess pieces. :lol:
The only thing I can think of that matches the other clues is maybe a dragon--Chinese Fireball, with the master being Charlie (all letters in his name are in the dragons :shrug:) Maybe "turtles" because they have a sort of armour?? and the fight for their young?? yea, shots in the dark there.

The rest is incorrect though.

The rest is incorrect though.
:rotfl: serious? well, I know next to nothing about the ninja turtles, but according to wikipedia their "master's" name is Splinter.
Is this HP related?

OK, first attempt at this:


-------Fred---George---Charlie---Ron ---Hermy---Tonks

-------Molly--Percy----Fleur-----Bill---Ginny---Harry

Love these riddles :tu:

1. RNATDPSNE - DENSAUGEO

3. QOFHYQE - IMPCRIO - IMPERIO
4. OPJJKQDVE - MUFFLIATO
5. EFFPASE - OPPUNGO - OPPUGNO
6. YNRPHQE - REDUCIO
7. YNFDYE - REPARO
8. TQKNAHQE - SILENCIO
9. RQJJQARE - DIFFINDO

The Opungo was mean as I started with that one :D

Splinter is the correct direction.
The Nimbus was reduced to splinters and replaced by the much faster Firebolt
The TMNT Splinter is a rat -> Wormtail (I don't know why he would 'fly much faster' though)
from wikipedia: Splinter, an insect-like creature in the Nintendo game Metroid Prime.
Insect = Dumbledore or Rita's animagus

Oky, here's another seating chart one, I think it's a bit easier than the last ( probably) since it's not as strict.

Ron is in charge of setting the head table for the Weasley’s wedding celebration. Hermione has given him a set of instructions for where to seat people, but she wasn’t very clear and she’s clearly rubbish at poetry.

Beside their better half they’ll eat, or most will wish to move their seat.

Four red heads adorn each side, as long as Tonks stays purple dyed.

The tamer will sit to your right, and curb the clones for us tonight.
Across from him, with flaxen hair, rests the blushing bride so fair.
Across from me your lovely sis, betwixt two brave curse breakers sits.
So I had a try:
people to place: Bill, Fleur, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Harry, Arthur, Molly, Charlie, Percy, Fred , George, Tonks, Lupin
That would mean Fleur's parents and Gabrielle aren't there. And neither of Ron's brothers brings a girlfriend.

1 Beside their better half they’ll eat, or most will wish to move their seat. The couples are together
2 Alpha males will cap each end, head of house and furry friend. The two adult man, Arthur, the head of the house and the man with the 'furry little problem' = Lupin at each end of the table
3 Four red heads adorn each side, as long as Tonks stays purple dyed. If I got line 2 right, I've a problem here: there are eight red heads = Arthur and his seven children, but if Arthur caps the table I don't have four for each side left :hmm:
4 All the girls but she and I, are flanked by only boys nearby. Tonks and Hermione have one female at their side
5 To the right of each end cap, sits their love and other half. Tonks – Lupin Molly- Arthur
6 The tamer will sit to your right, and curb the clones for us tonight. Charlie will sit to Ron's right and curb the twins (?), does that mean they'll be across the table (no, see7)? or next to him?
7 Across from him, with flaxen hair, rests the blushing bride so fair. Fleur
8 Across from me your lovely sis, betwixt two brave curse breakers sits. Ginny across from Hermione between Bill and ?Harry

Sogleig already got the same :argh:
:clap: You got it too! :D and even in the same direction as sholeigh. Yea, I was gonna make it just a 'holiday dinner' so that the excess family (Gabrielle, dates, etc.) didn't have to be there, but I wanted to use the "blushing bride" line :lol:

The Nimbus was reduced to splinters and replaced by the much faster Firebolt
The TMNT Splinter is a rat -> Wormtail (I don't know why he would 'fly much faster' though)
from wikipedia: Splinter, an insect-like creature in the Nintendo game Metroid Prime.
Insect = Dumbledore or Rita's animaguswow, that is way too much thinking for me. :scared: Although I must say I totally appreciate the effort you put in to it!

So...um...no. Not there yet. Back up to Splinter.

- There are 2 or 3 steps. Whichever way you look at it.

Well, I don't know what the two or three steps are but I'm pretty sure the answer is their user name. If you just do letter substitution
KD CIICDBC VKTKVCVC becomes IN ESSENCE DIVIDEDE (extra E but hey). Can't figure out how they chose those letters to substitute but ...??? :rockon:

Clue:- Spanish Word


sho: I've ruled out phone code because there are 0s and 1s in your riddle.
Are you using keyboard code? e.g. 2 = w, s or x

Mumbo: 25519


sholeigh asked about keyboard code and Mumbo responded "yes" (25519)
so here's the riddle in keyboard code
(wsx)(tgb)(edc)(ol)(wsx)(qaz)(p)(ik)(edc)(rfv)(ol) (ik)(p)(tgb)(rfv)(rfv)(rfv)(ik)(wsx)(p)(p)

I picked the letters that made the most sense to me and you get:
stel sapid flip grr frispp

Doesn't look like any spanish words to me, maybe it's a fight scene between Remus and Greyback "flip grr" ... :scared:

Well Done Sholeigh :clap:

This thread's been a bit slow lately so here's a logic puzzle for everybody :D

Hogwarts has put together an all-star Quidditch team to play in the first ever Youth Quidditch World Cup. Mr. Filch must owl their roster in before morning, but he only has Luna’s bewildering notes to go off of. He has already determined who two of the chasers and one of the beaters are, but he knows that the four remaining spots must represent each of the four Hogwarts houses and each school year from 4th through 7th. Help a squib out!

Luna’s notes: No students has the same initial as their house.
Hailey is not a Chaser.
The 6th year’s house has the same initial as the Seeker.
The player in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw is the Keeper.
The 7th year, whose name is not Sean, has the same initial as Raina’s house.
The Slytherin, who is a girl, is a fifth year.
Gavin is a Beater.

The Slytherin, who is a girl, is a fifth year.
Gavin is a Beater.
Ok, I think, if I did it all correctly, that I got this right...

Gryffindor, Chaser, Sean, 4th
Hufflepuff, Keeper, Raina, 6th
Slytherin, Seeker, Hailey, 5th
Ravenclaw, Beater, Gavin, 7th

Ok, I think, if I did it all correctly, that I got this right...

Gryffindor, Chaser, Sean, 4th
Hufflepuff, Keeper, Raina, 6th
Slytherin, Seeker, Hailey, 5th
Ravenclaw, Beater, Gavin, 7th

almost! 5. The 7th year...has the same initial as Raina’s house.
Good job though, you did it quick!

What about...

Chaser - Raina - Gryffindor - 7th
Beater - Gabin - Ravenclaw - 4th
Keeper - Sean - Hufflepuff - 6th
Seeker - Hailey - Slytherin - 5th

What about...

Chaser - Raina - Gryffindor - 7th
Beater - Gabin - Ravenclaw - 4th
Keeper - Sean - Hufflepuff - 6th
Seeker - Hailey - Slytherin - 5th
again almost there!
5. The 7th year...has the same initial as Raina’s house.
so Raina can't be the 7th year because of #1.

I think I got it this time...

Chaser - Raina - Gryffindor - 4th
Beater - Gavin - Ravenclaw - 7th
Keeper - Sean - Hufflepuff - 6th
Seeker - Hailey - Slytherin - 5th

I think I got it this time...

Chaser - Raina - Gryffindor - 4th
Beater - Gavin - Ravenclaw - 7th
Keeper - Sean - Hufflepuff - 6th
Seeker - Hailey - Slytherin - 5th
:clap: yay! you got it :D!

Yay! :D I love that kind of riddles.
