Nashville = City of Music.

The non clues were 4, 7, 13, 16 that multiplied gives 5824.

@josegomez last comment on #7 was crucial to solve it.

losangeles 2. Robby The Rancher

3. Twofold Tucker
4. Diego Goalzalez
5. Smoggy Hills

lasvegas 6. Rocky Ravine

losangeles 13. Snoop Fiddlefaddle

15. Joaquin Fiat

lasvegas 16. Gottaby Bogus
(Bogus Productions Inc., 8020 S Rainbow 100-407, Las Vegas NV 89139)

so two for loasangeles and two for lasvegas : (

leaves us with 4 players for the number(?):

3. Twofold Tucker
4. Diego Goalzalez

congratulations Miguel and all who helped to find out...

Re: Anyone solved the easter riddle?

Yes congrats Miguel, specially as the clues were subtly WRONG.

I exposed two main hypotheses - simple and convenient for that game - lowest entropy - for the number key:

- multiplication
- concatenation of ascending order mod 9

But the example was very misleading if one was really precisely logical, proof:

4512 = 2^5 x 3 x 47 and factorization of integers is unique (Euclide + Gauss).

This is lucky that I did not have time to argue that in fact multiplication hypothesis should not be compatible with the sample given !

@crew, next time please explain your clue based on a REAL example ! Hidden yes but real ! 😅

Robby (the rancher) is a belgian singer of country music. Has a record called Nashville.

Rocky Ravine is for a rock band called Ravine , from Nashville

Looks like all Nashville clues comes by the music side.

Congrats miguelvieira on solving the riddle! That means 40.000 Euro in Team Money will be handed out to everyone who has played at least one Clue Team challenge.

I will reveal all the clues, but will wait until the event is over (on Thursday) since some people might still be working on solving the clues for themselves.

Re: Anyone solved the easter riddle?

Here are the clues as promised. They were designed to be somewhat unsolvable via quick google searches and AI, which I have to tell you is somewhat of a challenge. Some however were in fact possible to crack with AI (for instance Thunder Poultry), which was also by design to give you guys a starting point.

The numbers were added to reduce the amount of wild guesses, which could have solved the mystery quite fast given that an endless amount of tries were permitted. The clues were also designed with collaboration in mind, rather than to be solved by a single individual.

Nashville clues
Azure Meadow – Refers to Bluegrass (azure=blue, meadow=grass), popular around these parts.
Smoggy Hills – Nearby Smokey Mountains.
Rocky Ravine – City is called The Gulch, which is a type of ravine with lots of rocks.
Joaquin Fiat – This was a tricky one. I had a hunch you were going to interpret Joaquin as "joking". Ah... mind games, mind games. 😉 Johnny Cash died in Nashville and has a museum there. Fiat is another word for money ("Cash"). Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash in the movie about him.

Manchester clues
Guy Thorax – A play on words: Guy=Man, Thorax=Chest
Roy Cordu – Corduroy is another word for Manchester fabric
Manny Mills - Historically known for its role in the Industrial Revolution, with textile mills and factories once dominating the landscape.
Robby The Rancher – Famous music venue The Hacienda (which can mean ranch), home to Joy Divison, Oasis and many others. Started by Rob Gretton.

Bangkok clues
O. M. G. DaRush – Wat Arun, a famous temple known for its stunning riverside location and intricate architectural details. This was a difficult one, I admit.
Arty Eightman – Thai boxing is known as the "Art of eight limbs". I was very impressed that someone got this!
Twofold Tucker – Tuk Tuk, common sight in Bangkok.
Thunder Poultry – A play on words: Thunder=Bang, Poultry=Cock

Fake clues
4. Diego Goalzalez
7. Whiskers McFish
13. Snoop Fiddlefaddle
16. Gottaby Bogus (I really hope there was a 30's gangster somewhere with this name)

We hope you had fun collaborating to solve this challenge!

Re: Anyone solved the easter riddle?

it's amazing how the same clues can also strongly point to other cities, such as these references to Chicago:
-Twofold Tucker (Tucker 48 Sedan, manufactured there) -> see 4 8 as twofold also
-Arty Eightman for 'Eight Men Out' (book/movie about 8 members of the Chicago White Sox) and
-Snoop Fiddlefaddle for the Fiddlefaddle popcorn manufactured by ConAgra, a Chicago company.

Anyways, it was tricky, it was fun.. good one on this game which is being boring from a football perspective, due to the horrible sim and bad decisions made in the last years.
