Hi again, and well done to everybody that entered this week! From the comments, it sounds like you had a much easier time solving the Code this time around.  Anyway, the competition is now closed, so here are the answers if you got stuck...

1) This crazy upside-down statue is at Latrobe University in Melbourne.

2) It was Amanda Congdon who got "Unboomed" from her videoblog partner, Andrew Baron.

3) George W Bush got given a DS Lite & copy of Brain Age by Nintendo for his 60th birthday.

4) The Azzuri is the nickname for the Italian soccer team...

5) The lead singer of Caine's band is called Crowley...

6) Superman's original birth-name was Kal-El.

Take the first letter of each to get last week's codeword: Magick.

I hope that tidies everything up for you nicely! Congratulations to this week's winners: Ryan was quickest off the mark and wins Perplex City goodies from Mind Candy, while Rob was picked by the Random Winner Picking Machine and gets a Nintendo DS Lite with a copy of Brain Age! Congratulations guys. :)

Everybody else, look out for a new Code in the next few moments!

Right, on to Week 2! Now you've seen one week's questions and answers, you'll start to get the hang of it, even if you were a little muddled last week. The good news is, I have the same prizes to award again, so you've got a whole fresh new chance. :-)


Just for a refresher, here are the rules: The lucky randomly-chosen winner will get a shiny black Nintendo DS Lite and a copy of Brain Age DS to go with it. The very first person to send in the right answer gets a prize, too, of Perplex City goodies thank to the guys at Mind Candy.

To have a chance to win, all you have to do is find the answers to my questions, take the first letter of each answer to make the codeword, and then submit it at my website (the link is at the end of the quiz). The number in brackets is a clue to how long each answer should be.

Annnnnnnd here are the puzzles you've been waiting for:

1) In what city can you find this statue?



2) Which web-celebrity got Unboomed this week? (6,7)



3) It's good enough for you, it's good enough for him - what rather well-known figure got sent a Nintendo DS Lite and a copy of Brain Age by Nintendo as a birthday present this week? (6,1,4)

4) Which high-flying soccer team (whose best ever result was 9 - 0 against the USA) is nicknamed The Azzurri? (5)

5) Caine, Perplex City's leading wannabe-rockstar, plays for a band called The Ooze. But what is their frontman called? (7)

6) What's  Superman's original name? (No, not Clark Kent - the other one...) (3-2)

All done? Then click here to submit this week's keyword!

What, you're still hanging around? Oh, I suppose you want to know who won last week, don't you? Well, the very first person to submit the right answer was Luke. Great work! And the lucky DS Lite winner from last week is... Zed! Congratulations to both of you. :-)

Hi, welcome to my site, and thanks for stopping by! My name is Scarlett Kiteway, and you can find out a little bit more about me just by checking out my profile... As you may have already gathered, I'm planning on running a weekly puzzle contest, just for fun, and I'll be posting the very first one in just a little while. :-)

From time to time I'll probably talk about some other things, here, too... life, sisters, boyfriends, school, the usual suspects. Anyway, thanks for coming to check it out, and I hope you'll stop by often - or at least once a week to do my puzzles!

Well, here it is, the first of my very own Scarlett Codes for you guys to solve! I'm really excited to be able to do this, but super nervous too, since I want everyone to have fun. Hopefully you'll find some cool stuff on your hunt for answers...


The lucky randomly-chosen winner for this week gets a shiny new Nintendo DS Lite in black, and a copy of Brain Age DS to go with it - and there's a bonus prize of Perplex City schwag for the first person to send me the right answer, too! To have a chance to win, all you have to do is find the answers, get the codeword and then submit it at my website. Since this is my first try, I'd love to hear what you think about the questions. Go on and write me at scarlett@thescarlettkite.com if you have something you'd really like to say. :-)

And now, without any further ado, let's get started:

OK, all you have to do is find the answers to each question, and then take the letter indicated in the brackets. Put the letters together to form a word, and submit them using the link at the end...
