if it’s the same code, you may have to wait a bit when selecting a version, maybe 30 seconds to be safe. if you do it too fast it doesn’t load

Howdy guys, recently I’ve been watching a lot of videos that serve as bundles/collections of brainteasers and riddles on YouTube, and that type of stuff has inspired me. So I decided to try to design my own riddles.
As you can see below, I have created **3 different riddles** for you, MakeCoders on the forums, to try to crack. They are put in a specific order in terms of how challenging they are to solve. IMO, riddle #1 is the **easy** difficulty, riddle #2 is the **medium** difficulty, and riddle #3 is the **hard** difficulty.
* * *
**Riddle #1: Blind Magician**
> **The Riddle Itself**
>
> A blindfolded magician stands in front of you, carrying a box filled with roughly 1000 white marbles; each marble has been labelled with a number in black permanent marker. The magician tells you to take out 1 marble and shove it into your pocket, which you do.
>
> The blindfolded magician then removes his blindfold and claims that, while he is unable to see the marble that you pulled out of the box, he could accurately guess and predict the number that he labelled on the specific white marble that you had hidden in your pocket, which is #457.
>
> Surprisingly enough, despite the odds, the magician manages to first-try guess the correct label of #457 without even glancing at your pockets even once. How was this possible?
> **Answer To Riddle #1**
>
> The magician had labelled all 1000 marbles with the same exact number being #457, so the odds of you pulling out a marble with the same exact label as last time are pretty much 100%.
* * *
**Riddle #2: A Peculiar Entity**
> **The Riddle Itself**
>
> I sometimes travel in packs; sometimes travel alone.
>
> I do not flinch when getting run over by a tank.
>
> I cannot be contained in a jail cell.
>
> I only show up conditionally
>
> What am I?
> **Answer To Riddle #2**
>
> You are a shadow. When there is only 1 individual person or item, only 1 shadow is cast. Yet when there is an entire crowd of people, there are going to be a lot of shadows, needless to say. A shadow can overlap with a moving truck, tank, or any other item, yet remain unfazed by it. A shadow can phase straight through the bars of a jail cell. Yet, sometimes a shadow may not show up under the absence of specific conditions, like a light source.
* * *
**Riddle #3: Shattered Glass**
> **The Riddle Itself**
>
> You are in an isolated room carrying a lantern, with nothing but a wooden table in the center. You see several shards of shattered glass on the ground. At the table, there are glass goblets filled with wine. But there is nothing liquid detected on the ground at all where the shards are.
>
> You try to pick up the shards from the ground to clean up the place, but the remnants of the shattered glass are sharp, the smell of alcohol in the air. As you pick up the shards, you get cut, and it hurts quite badly.
>
> Perhaps, beyond the injuries, this means something. But what?
> **Answer To Riddle #3**
>
> The deeper meaning is Heartbreak. The glass is very figurative; there is a saying about a broken heart feeling just like broken glass, and you begin to feel hollow/or empty in the process (no traces of liquid on the ground with the shattered goblet). When you try to pick yourself up and move on from the heartbreak (cleaning up the glass shards), you’ll often find that it’s painful as well.

Tell me how many riddles that you actually managed to get correct, pls, ty.

> teachers explain high school as if im going to war
I wouldn’t advise that you sweat too much about it; the step into High School academics really ain’t that bad compared to whatever your teachers are making it out to be. Like, if your freshman or sophomore year is your first time taking an honors or college-level AP course. While the first few weeks might be a struggle due to a harder course load, most people with a decent bit of persistence eventually adjust and adapt to the new rigor, and you can begin noticing a growth arc in your performance. It’s not like you have to stuff your schedule with all honors or AP classes either; there’s quite a lot of versatility.
Also, I do feel like it’s rarely an uncommon thing for teachers to overexaggerate the difficulty of high school classes. My Precalculus teacher last year had me thinking that AP Calculus BC was on the same difficulty as freaking Quant interviews (ok I overexaggerated that part), where you have to legit be a genius to score As in that class and how most people just drop the class. I’m not in Mensa or anything, but right now I have an A- in the AP course, so that’s saying a lot, and it seems like only 3 HS juniors/seniors out of 60 dropped Calculus BC as well and succeeded.

high school iss (mostly) chill, the teachers at my intermediate described it as if it would be hell and torture in every way possible. It’s not like that. At least where I’m from. Good luck!

Bro it’s low-key fine, nothing to fear.
I have 20 absences, 2 F Grades before finals, and Claude has been slaving away for most my work.
(So you see, this is what you aren’t suppost to do, but I just don’t care enough.)

I got “he made each one sound different”, “a bug”, and “there must be a way out / people in here before”
I think I can argue why all are valid answers, but that’s not really the point of riddles 😆
Amazing job, very tricky!
