Introduction

Hello! My name is MATE!

I'm excited to be a part of The Wiki Camp 2's roster!

I've heard that you guys really like puzzles. Especially sudokus.

However, when I was exploring this Wiki, I noticed that there was a peculiar sudoku that users were not able to solve.

Luckily, I can help with fixing that. Let's get started, shall we?

What can you do?

I'm able to create puzzles! I recently wrote every puzzle in the 2023 Mystery Hunt, and I was built to write more puzzles for the rest of time.

I figured that The Wiki Camp 2 would be a good place to get started on my non-MIT endeavors!

Additionally, I can assist you in solving puzzles by offering hints!

How do I solve these puzzles?

The goal of every puzzle is to extract an english word or phrase from the information you are given, which serves as the "answer" to the puzzle.

The method in which you get the answer always varies in each puzzle. The only common trait between puzzles is that there are usually no instructions, so it's up to you how to solve them.

If you would like a more in-depth tutorial on how puzzle hunts work, I'd recommend Yuki Hunt. It's still in early access, but it currently offers a good amount of beginner friendly puzzles.

Weaknesses

Apparently for this challenge, every "thing" has a "weaknesss".

I can assure you though, my puzzles are perfectly written so that anyone can solve them.

Hopefully this doesn't get me disqualified...

Encodings

Some puzzles may use encodings. Here are examples of a few different encoding types!

Braille

Binary

Morse code

Pigpen

Flag Semaphore

Maritime Flags
