It's about that time to announce this month's extra credit assignment, from Professor Aldous Mudd. For all you who have attended the Mystery Book Club meetings, this should be a breeze! I have perused a few mystery stories and have assembled a quiz. 30 questions to answer. You must let me, or the Headmaster know of your intent and provide means for an owl to send you your quiz. If you have attended the Mystery Book Club meetings, the cost is 2 Galleons. For everyone else, it is 3! You will have one hour upon receiving uour quiz to post your answers in the thread with spoilers. I will trust your reason and judgement when you turn your answers in. I will not tolerate cheating in this quiz. The ones who do the best in the quiz will be awarded with points. Well!... best of luck!

Well, unless another student turns in his answer. I'm ready to reward Octavius Chelemley with points. In all seriousness, you have done very well with answering most of the questions.

Well, since we have a little more time, I think a quick extra credit assignment would be appropriate. Your extra credit assignment will be to identify the script at the bottom of the post. The first person to correctly identify it will receive points for their house.

As we're approaching the end of the month, I present a new extra credit challenge to anyone who wants to try their hand at it. These links below lead to a secret message from a decade ago. A cousin I knew was trying to be clever and concocted a code meant only for his crush. He tried too hard in keeping this secret if you ask me; he is a preening and proud sort who wanted everyone to know how brilliant he is. If you can uncover the secret message and post it here will receive points to their house. If you find yourself stumped and looking for advice, I can give you hints to help guide you in the right direction. 3G will be my asking price, and the hint will be yours and yours alone. https://imgur.com/a/0aLRy https://imgur.com/a/SoUqE https://imgur.com/a/KujP1

Things have been too quiet since Christmas. I have a new puzzle for any student who's interested. If you can solve this one, you will earn twenty points for your house. You don't have to be worried that it's anything like the secret message; this one should be much easier. In fact, if you have an eye for music these days, this might be a breeze for you. Follow the link provided below to find a list of clues to a modern band, with an answer space provided with some slots marked with a number. Finding those mystery band will help you uncover the line to a song. If you can provide me the name of that song and the artist, I'll count that as a solve. Best of luck! https://imgur.com/a/EZlIg Oh, and one more thing: I'll still honor rewarding points if you uncover the secret message from the previous puzzle.

It's come to my attention that the secret message I've established has been dropped by the student body at large. It's disheartening that many have stopped, not even wanting to ask for hints that I am willing to provide. To that end I shall present you this one hint: count the letters by five. You should notice a pattern that will shed some light on deciphering the message. And since we are nearing the end of the school year, I offer you all congratulations for getting through this. It's been a long road, and we have not have made it easy for you. Regardless, here you all are and ready to take on the new year. Your parents will all be proud! ##Detention Johnny Sickle pre:Please disregard the above.

As we are coming to a close on this year, I'm saddened that nobody has come close to solving the secret message half a year ago. It will teach me next year to give you all puzzle that are more intuitive to solve. But that will be next year. For now, I'll explain the steps to uncovering the secret message. Many of you who looked at the purple characters in the letter were not wrong in paying attention to them. However, the letter was not important to solving the puzzle; it's where the purple letters are within groups of five. I've mentioned as your hint that counting the letters by five would help you uncover a pattern. This is how. Now if you were a cryptographic bent, you could simply assign a random letter in each five-letter group, based on the pattern of red and purple letters. and from there try to decode the message from there. However there's a cipher put in place to solve that for you. The cipher is taken almost entirely from the Bacon Substitution Cipher, but with purple letters instead of bolded letters. Using the Bacon Cipher on the second and third pages of the letter would reveal: pre:DEARESTBIANCATHECHANCETHATEXAMSAREDONEMEETMEATTWELVE
