Henry, Wade, and Kit looked expectantly at Hotchkiss. They were all in a large, newly built tent. Hotchkiss was standing near the back, her hands clasped together in front of her.

“It’s time for the final riddle. Each of you will enter one of these partitioned rooms,” Hotchkiss said, gesturing to the three sections of the tent. “Inside you’ll find the written riddle. When you have solved it, submit your answer via the SUBMIT button, NOT IM/ASK. The first person to submit the correct answer will be the winner! Take your positions,” Hotchkiss said. Each person stepped inside a different part of the tent and approached the podium with the riddle on it.

“On your mark, get set, begin!”

The Final Problem

Solve each answer and add them up (as you go) to get your final answer. Remember you may only submit ONCE.

1. At the beginning of our journey, how many people were standing in the Main tent? (2 digits)

2. In murder one, how many people went to the crime scene? (one digit)

3. Anja wore gloves, a hat and a long sleeve shirt in well over what degree temperature? (three digits)

4. Add together all the clues for riddle 2 (two digits)

5. Multiply your current answer (the sum of the first four answers) by the size of the circle drawn in the dirt (two digits)

6. After murder three, how many people accused Rentaro? (one digit)

7. How many refrigerators are in the kitchen building? (one digit)

8. How many E’s were in the answer to riddle 4? (one digit)

9. Add to your current total the time of dinner in murder five times the number of people who went to the LKW and Morgue (one digit x one digit)

10. Multiply your current total by the number of hints given out in riddle five (one digit)

11. Add the exact time murder six began (three digits)

12. The number of victims mentioned in riddle six (one digit)

13. If Kit is the killer, multiply your answer by 2. If Wade is the killer, multiply your answer by 3. If Henry is the killer, multiply your answer by 4. If Hotchkiss or someone else is the killer, multiply your answer by 5.

Okay, if I haven’t already told you, here’s how the rest of the game will work. On Sunday I’ll post the reveal for Murder 6, including who is scared/spared. No accusations will be posted, but please still submit them.

On Monday I will post the beginning of the finale, where one of the scared people will die. There will be no clues or case to solve. The remaining three people will compete in the final riddle. We have to pick a time that works for everyone left. I was thinking we could do it either Monday or Tuesday, I know Christmas is coming up so I don’t want to interfere with that. The final riddle will include clues from all the deaths in the game, so I recommend reviewing those if you have time.

There are a few differences for the final riddle besides the length. You will only be able to submit one answer. If more than one person sends in the correct answer, whoever sent it first wins. If no one sends in the correct answer, whoever is closest to the correct answer is the winner. You will not be immediately notified of the results. You may not seek help from other contestants. The killer must participate in the riddle and send in an answer, but they cannot be the winner. A post will be made shortly after all three answers are sent in. The results will be revealed by Wednesday at the latest (depending on when we do the riddle), where everything will be explained, the last person will die, the winner will be announced and the killer revealed!

I would like to pick a riddle time asap, because I want it solidified that everyone can be there. I can do almost any time because I’m off of work the whole week. So let me know if Monday or Tuesday is better, and what times you’re available.
