That was exactly the plan! He made forgeries and then swapped them with the real ones so that no one noticed.
Such a brilliant plan! If only he had been smart enough to do it during the daytime, when Blathers is asleep and the lasers are off. Nobody visits the art exhibit anyways.

is this why there's no forged flowery painting in NH since Mira confiscated it? some deep lore hereThat was exactly the plan! He made forgeries and then swapped them with the real ones so that no one noticed.
i figured the flowery painting had to be it since there was pretty much no other item of value mentioned that he couldve tried stealing

British English is a second language for me, so thank goodness "realise", "favourite", or "centre" were not in any of the messages since I would not be able to decode those.
I'm glad that all my answers were accepted because I'm an overthinker haha
Thank you staff for this fun event!! This was one of my favorites and I hope it returns in the future

I had the same mindset and answer! I'm happy that the staff accepted it. I think the prompt asked how the crook was caught and I couldn't determine whether to interpret it as (1) in what manner he was caught (adjective- red-handed) or (2) what was used to catch him (noun- infrared laser system).. so I submitted both/the whole phraseI think it should be, I put my answer as "red handed using a passive infrared laser system" because technically, red handed could also have been the answer to the question "How did the superheroes catch the crook?" and it was accepted
Fun tip from a non-native English speaker: if you put the letter u between brackets, as in, "colo(u)r" you can upset both sides at once
LOL yes.Fun tip from a non-native English speaker: if you put the letter u between brackets, as in, "colo(u)r" you can upset both sides at once
I'm more used to British English(spelling) though since that was what we got taught in school so I mostly write things with an "u", colourful for example.
I agree...
English is not my first language and I got all 3 correct. The answers required basic text comprehension skills, for any language... I just read both text and questions a couple times after decoded and the answers were very clear. I tried not to rush to it and really comprehend what the question was asking
Please do, it was so much fun

What is that? lol
I just decoded all of them looking for the more common letters first, like A, E S, any single letters, common doubles, and went from there...
Also, yeah I loved the event, it gave me some nice code-crackin' time. But yeah I agree the actual answers to the questions could be clearer within the code, as i think a lot of users got English as their second language and might not be used to the idioms
i couldn't find any logic behind it either ! i was just breaking my head over it untill i pieced together the first sentence, 'it's me, mira' and from then on it went smoothly.
It used a substitution cipher, where I had jotted down the following substitutions:What was the pattern for puzzle 3? I never figured the code out
+ = d
# = e
5 = a
4 = r
÷ = I
< = t
¢ = s
X = m
> = y
2 = o
£ = u
3 = g
- = h
$ = l
> = y
* = p
€ = b
9 = w
6 = n
7 = k
8 = c
@ = f
( = v
# = e
5 = a
4 = r
÷ = I
< = t
¢ = s
X = m
> = y
2 = o
£ = u
3 = g
- = h
$ = l
> = y
* = p
€ = b
9 = w
6 = n
7 = k
8 = c
@ = f
( = v
dear heroes,
it's me, mira. you might be wondering why i'm
writing a letter... well, i accidentally dropped
my nookphone in the ocean. anyways! the operation
was a success! that sneaky redd fell for my
passive infrared laser system. we caught him red
handed, cottontail!
see you back at the slumber party!

Ahhh I figured it was something like this but I didn't spend enough time with it to figure out all the substitutions I guess. Thank you!

Circles and spirals in mind…
I’m still mad about Round 2’s question. I figured out the whole message after hours of working on it but because the question was confusing I didn’t get any tickets. :’(
To everyone who worked on this event, thank you so much for putting it together! It was one of my favorites to participate in. I loved it when something would click and all of a sudden the puzzle made sense. It was presented in such a cute way, too. I hope this type of event returns in the future.
From what I've seen in the other posts, this is exactly what the rest did, either by deciphering the word "dear", the first sentence "it's me, mira" or maybe even the "cottontail" catchphrase. It's pretty much the only tactic that works for a substitution cipher like that one if you don't have any other clues to start with.

that's what i did too, and i think codes like those are just PoE

I searched for Mira's catchphrase then deciphered from that, slow but it works!

That's exactly what I did, and then I boded the answer to be extra sure because boy, was I ever anxious.
