Answer: 123

Alla’s Puzzle

This one is a four part riddle (second is broken into two parts):

My first is in cake, but not in casserole.

• Hint 1: It’s being very literal in terms of spelling.
• Hint 2: What letter is in cake but not casserole?
• Solution: K

My second, third and fourth are human, but forgiveness is divine.

• Hint 1: This is not literal at all. Think about the meaning of the whole sentence.
• Hint 2: The solution is a single word but it is entered as the first letter and then the remaining two letters.
• Hint 3: Think about why someone would need forgiveness.
• Hint 4: This phrase is actually a quote by the poet Alexander Pope.
• Hint 5: To ___ is human; to forgive, is divine.
• Solution: ERR which is broken into E and RR

My last, is a question.

• Hint 1: Remember, we’re looking for just a single letter.
• Hint 2: Which letter in the English alphabet also sounds like a question when pronounced?
• Solution: Y

Teng’s Puzzle

This is a Caesar cipher in Teng’s notes. There two things to look for in there:

• The ciphered text: XliEhqmvepMwJsspmwl
• The number of characters to shift it: 4

The developers were tricky in that the shift is backwards instead of forwards. Solve it, and you’ll get this: TheAdmiralIsFoolish

For clarity, I’ll add spaces: The Admiral Is Foolish

Private Code

This code is used if Marc, Teng, and Alla are present. All are on the notes pages.

1. Teng’s notes right at the top: Kappa _ _ _ _
2. Khan’s notes about half way down: _ Theta _ _ _
3. Marc’s notes near the bottom: _ _ Alpha _ _
4. Alla’s notes near the top: _ _ _ Zeta _
5. Khan’s notes just above #2: _ _ _ _ Eta

Put them all together in order and you get: Kappa Theta Alpha Zeta Eta.
