The Town
Rubikon is the name of the town. It has four locks, and no two of them open the same way.
Played standing up, one-handed, no paper. Five minutes.
Lock 1 · Chicken Rebellion
The henhouse tally
The hens keep count of the eggs on the barn wall. Today it's Sunday's number that needs writing up.
How many eggs on Sunday?
Lock 2 · Magellan's Secret
The ship's log
The last page is written in a navigator's cipher. Each pair of numbers is a position on the chart: row first, then column.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | B | C | D | E | F |
| 2 | G | H | I | J | K | L |
| 3 | M | N | O | P | Q | R |
| 4 | S | T | U | V | W | X |
| 5 | Y | Z | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| 6 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 |
44 · 23 · 13 · 42
33 · 36 · 23 · 11
Eight positions. One name.
Lock 3 · The Room 745
The worn keypad
Nobody remembers the door code, but four keys have lost their paint from use.
There are four notes in the porter's notebook:
- Each of the four worn keys is used exactly once.
- The code starts with an even digit.
- The first two digits add up to 7.
- The last digit is the largest of the four.
Lock 4 · The master lock
The unfolded cube
The town's lock is a cube unfolded into a cross. There's a line engraved along its edge:
“Two faces that turn their backs on each other always add up the same.”
Fold it up. What number hides on the blank face?

You got in without a key
Nine. Like the nine bells nobody on Willowbend wants to hear all the way through.
