The answer to this puzzle is that Skippy's actual name is Simon. To work this out,we had to work through different rooms and answer different questions and earning different keys. In the first room, we had to work out the numbers on the bottom of three dice added together. We knew that the numbers on the top of the three dice added up to 8, so we looked at the possible combinations. Whatever the combnation, the numbers on the bottom of the dice added to 13 - our first key number!

The second room contained 10 cards. The numbers of the cards were 0-9. Five of these cards were face down and we had to work the last card. The clue givenc frst told us that the first two cards added up to our first key number (13). We guessed 8 and 5. The next part of the clue said the second and third key added to 9. We knew that the third number was 4. The next part of the clue said that the third and fourth number added to 11. We knew that the fourth number was 7. The next part of the clue said that the fourth and fifth card added to 16. I knew that therefore we knew the last number was 9. This is our second key number.

In the third room had two circles that were overlaping. The question tolds us that the rectangle was 9cm long (last key number) and 5cm high. We had to find the distance between the two circles diametres. We found out that it was 4. The question then asked us to square the number and take away 1 giving us 15 - our third key number!

The forth room contained 8 boxes in a square shape. The question told us that we had to fit the numbers 1 - 8 in the boxes and that each row had to add up to 15 (our last key number!). By trial and error, we worked it out. The question then told us to add up all the numbers in the corner of the square and subtract 10 - giving us 14. Our fourth key number.

The fifth room contained some jam tarts. The question told us there were enough tarts to fill 1 and a bit trays. 1 tray contained 14 tarts. The question then told us if the tarts are counted in 4's, 3 is left over. Also if the tarts are counted in 3's, 1 is left over. By trial and error we worked out that the answer was 19! - Our final key number.

We then had to use the code A=1 B=2 C=3 etc to work out the letters for each of the key numbers we had. 13=M 9=I 15=O 14=N 19=S. This is an anagram of skippy's actual name - Simon!
