Welcome to the SL7 Summer Riddle!
This is a 10-step riddle where each step requires a code to progress. There are hints provided. You could also try and beg for hints from Ryln (he probably will not give them). Many of these steps will ask you to harness immense pattern recognition, research skills, and some base knowledge to progress. Although likely very challenging, the riddle as a whole is doable.
There is a monetary reward of 20 CAD for the first person to complete the whole riddle (available within 168 hours of publishing). This will be owed at some point, likely the next time Ryln and that person meet up for a World Scholar's Cup round.
The winners of this challenge who completed this riddle first were Aindra, Arkar, June, + more, the prize is no longer available, but you can still do the riddle for fun!
