Get ready...get set…Start solving!

Tuesday, July 1st at 3 pm EDT or 8 pm BST the first riddle will be posted on the Contest Corner! This will begin Part Two of the Riddles Contest!

As a refresher, please read the complete rules here, there will be 10 riddles posted throughout the month of July at different times every Tuesday and Friday. To answer a riddle, you must e-mail your answer before the next riddle is posted. Because of the changing times to accommodate those in different time zones, we have posted the approximate times the riddles will be posted at the end of the complete rules here.

To be eligible for a drawing of one of three Wizard Wood Wands, you must answer correctly a complete set of riddles. Those with all the answers correct will have their names placed into a drawing for one of the wands, along with those whose riddles we used for this part. If you submit an answer after the next riddle has been posted (schedule available here), your answer will not be counted. Please keep sending in answers if you miss a deadline, though. If no one has 10 correct answers, the next highest number correct will be used as the baseline to determine what number you must have correct to be placed into the drawing.

Please read the complete rules carefully for Part Two before you submit your answers. There have been a few minor changes that were stated in the rules and a few housekeeping things that need to be said.
  • Instead of using 5 Contest Team created riddles, we are only using 3. There were so many excellent riddles that we decided to use more of the entries that were submitted.
  • Credit will be given to those whose riddles were used after the contest is finished. This is to make sure (not that this will happen of course wink.gif ) people can’t ask the authors for the answers or hints to the answers of the riddles. E-mails to authors notifying we used their riddle, credit to which riddle was created by whom and the answers to each of the riddles will be posted after August 5th. Drawing results for the wands will also occur after August 5th. Please remember, for those whose riddles we do use, NOT to post that we used your riddle!
  • When you submit your answers, please ensure you are spelling the name of the person, place, or thing correctly! We will be looking at spelling. There are many sources available to assist you with your spelling (e.g. the books!).
  • The 10 riddles range in difficulty that was determined by the Contest Team. There will be easy, medium, and hard riddles. The riddles are not necessarily going to be posted from easiest to most difficult. What may be easy for one person, may be difficult for another.
Any questions or comments, please ask in this thread. A new thread will be started on July 1st for the riddles.

That's a good idea, it could work. I actually just found out that I might be able to get internet after all, which would be nice smile.gif. Thanks for the suggestion though!!
