Stage 1: The question was, there were 3 dice in a row, with the top numbers five, 2 and 1, what are the bottom numbers and add them up to get the key numbers... The opposites on the dice always add up to seven, five + two equals seven. two is our first number, two + five equals seven so, our second numbers five,one + 6 equals seven so our final number is six, six + two + five, the 1st key number is 13.
Stage 2: The second question was, There are ten cards facing down with numbers starting from 0-9, it tells you how to work out the first five cards, The numbers on the first card add up to the first key number, which was thirteen, so eight and five, the numbers on the second and third card add up to nine, so five and four, the numbers on the fird and fourth cards add up to eleven, so four and seven, and finally, the cards on the fourth and fith and up to sixteen, so seven and nine! The number on the last key is the second key number, so nine!
Stage 3: There is a diagram with two overlapping circles inside a rectangle, the rectangle is the second key number, so nine, and the 5cm high, how far apart are the circles? so you do five add five, as the diamater of one circle is five so adding two will geive you the diamater of both, the circles are overlapping by one cm so the answer is four cm's from the centre point! to get the third key number you square four then subtract one, sothe key number is fifteen!
Stage 4: the fourth question is; there is a strange diagram on the floor with with the numbers one to eight on eight cards! the diagram is a square with eight boxes around it! skippy and anna have to arange the numbers so each side add to the key number; fifteen! This took various guesswork but we finally figuired it out, the top row is eight add one add seven, the right side is six add two add seven, the bottom is three add five add seven, the final, left side is three add four add eight! to get the key numbers you add the corners so eight add six add seven add three equaling twenty four, then you subtract 10 equaling fourteen, this is the fourth key number
Stage 5: This is the final room, the question was on the table there are some jam tarts, there are also two special trays used to cook them on, these hold the key number of tarts each from the last room(14). if the tarts are counted into fours there are three left over, if they are counted into fives there are four leftover! how many tarts are left over, this is the final key number, we figuired if you count in fours thats sixteen plus three left over gives you ninteteen and if you cont fives you get fifteen and four left over which gives you nineteen, the last key number is 19
finally to work out skippys real name you must use the code A=1, B=2 etc using the key numbers of all five rooms so thirteen= M, Nine= I, 15=O, 14=N and finally 19=S, this makes MIONS. This an anagram for simon, you now have escaped the castle!
