Search ten to the tenth power

And, a further nudge for Crack the Code. Both halves of the clue refer to riddles that those characters made, and specifically, either the starting place, or the finishing place for those riddles.

Sorry, all, I've been massively busy recently with life. We're moving up to a different hotel room over the weekend and we've had to take care of things.

It's ok; me and Shroom did progress a lot today (Shroom found like 80% of the codes)

Also it's honestly not worse than some people

Even though Crystal Cloods already guessed all 40, CMON STEP IT UP

Feel free to take your time, you already helped a lot.

Gotta admit that I have a serious knowledge gap on these two films. My research on Wikipedia for Harry Potter only received the riddle in the first book to access the stone of wisdom (involving Fluffy and a devil's snare), and for Lord of Rings I only got the chapter where Bilbo and Gullom battle themselves with question riddles. Don't know where there should be a starting point or a finish point.

I guess I'm out with this right now.

And the Galaxy stuff code is also confusing admittedly. We're told to puzzle our things together but we simply might not have enough stuff for it.

Such a very hard event.

[Supershroom]

I don't see any other chances for aimed progress than getting the password. The words in the user profiles are all nouns (or adjectives, obviously "big" and "bang" belong together), while the things in threads are connection words. If we'd have to put these together, we're missing codes from the threads. Also I could swear I've grazed all of the Wiki templates (except for maybe only particularily in groups with very short and meaningless pages), and I didn't find anything new. And it was supposed to be an easy part.

Hopefully MoD and others are around when Doram gives more clues. As for the PM, I entrust you the responsibility to send it when it's appropriate; if not, I'll promise I'll be around right before the deadline in the early morning CET.

EDIT: You obviously really need good knowledge on both films to get the password.

Here Shroom, since you are having such a hard time with it, and your active teammates seem similarly unknowledgable about the properties:

!

Voldemort's name itself is a riddle. Do some searching for that. And for the second half, in the riddle battle between Bilbo and Gollum, the final riddle, and the one Bilbo used to win the contest, was an unfair one, since it actually gave no clues to the answer: "What is in my pocket?" You need that answer. I've already given other clues about this, which should cement this for you now. Also, you have that lovely first post, but it seems like you have not updated it. Copy all of my hints and gather all the codes and put them in one place, and some of this might seem clearer.

[Supershroom]

Thx, I try it now. The answers for Gollum's final riddle "What's in my pocket?" were:

• string
• book
• ring
• knife

and the correct answer is the ring.

And I know Voldemort's real name is "Tom Marvolo Riddle", both things form an anagramm.

Well I just list my incorrect guesses (including putting a "the" before the "ring").

"tommarvoloriddlering"
"tomring"
"tommarvoloring"
"marvoloring"
"tomriddlering"
"riddlering"

Well some of those were not clever due to the fact that there has to be a "starting place" for Voldemort (while Bilbo representing the "finishing place" is obvious).

"anagramring" also doesn't fit.

It could also refer to the time when Voldemort started to give himself a new name, or why he did that. Trying some research for that.

Ring

Runolympics ring?

I don't know, I'm just making bold guesses with any actual logic behind it; maybe it's just the way I think. I'm no good at puzzles, because I always expect some kind of easy pattern to follow. I don't even know where to start.

It's just disappointing: I am trying what I can, and yet I limit myself to only 5? 6 codes?

Sorry I just had to let it out, somehow
