Haina ditto for me

Before you review the answers, I just want to say, great job to everyone! I never expected this round to cause so much trouble. When I had faced this round in the virtual escape room it had been worth the most points (as in the hardest round), but it had seemed so easy. And I wasn't alone. Out of the 20 groups that participated, 18 found it easy. 1 group needed to buy a few hints to get it and 1 group just gave up. So when I set this round for this season, I expected a few people to have issues - not everyone.

Nonetheless, everyone prevailed and we had some really good scores. I did try to tell everyone what their scores were as they sent me their final answers, but if I didn't tell you and you are interested, just send me a PM and I'll let you know.

There was no minimum passing score and only Jiggy7 is being eliminated due to non-submission.

But before we go to the answers, I want to highlight and recognize a few people this round. A huge congrats to 4 people who got.........75 this round. Yes that's right. We have a few perfects this round!

And now here are the answers!

Picture 1 (which side is the head facing or which side arms/legs is the number on) - Ans: left, up, right, left, up (note that if you look opposite, then it would be right, up, left, right, up)

Picture 2 (follow the heads - which direction is it facing) - Ans: left, up, up, left, down (if you take this in opposite direction, it is right, up, up, right, down)

Picture 3 (follow the pupils) - Ans: right, left, down, left, up (if you took it in the opposite direction then the answer is left, right, down, right, up)

Picture 4 (follow the pupils) - Ans: right, up, right, up, up (if you took it in the opposite direction then the answer is left, up, left, up, up)

Picture 5 (follow the heads) - Ans: left, up, right, left, down (if you took it in the opposite direction, then the answer is right, up, left, right, down)

Kab ayega results and next round???

Player finished entering the last combo and then waited. It had been a hard round. We had to be absolutely certain with each combo before entering it. We couldn’t be wrong about even one direction, else the door wouldn’t open and the British government would lose everything.

I wondered where Sherlock was. It wasn’t like him to not even show up once. I hadn’t expected that of him. I had thought that by now he would have shown up, made some smart comment about how slow we were, and then taken over. But here we were. On the 6th puzzle, 12 hours later, and still no Sherlock.

The good news was that we were ahead of schedule. We should have been 15 hours later, but we had saved 3 hours over the puzzles and were now well on our way to complete these puzzles ahead of schedule. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the hackers. Then I would show them what threatening the monarch meant.

Player interrupted my thoughts, “The next round is here. We’ve been given 45 brain teasers to go through.”

“That’s an average of 15 per hour and 4 minutes per brain teaser. Why are these hackers doing this?” I moaned.

“No idea, but are you ready?”

“Let me get some water. Then we can go at it. Do you want anything?” I asked, motioning to the food cart.

“Yeah one of those covered tart things. That was so good!”

I grabbed the water and the tart and then we began working on the brain teasers. My brain was hurting, but we would get through these.

Well, you’ve got to have gotten the hang of this by now. Below you’ll find 10 brain teasers. Each brain teaser will earn you 10 points. Incorrect brain teasers will lose you 5 points. Blank answers will lose you 3 points. 2 hints are provided and each will cost you 15 points.

Reminder that only one try is allowed.
