| I believe 50 Credits is a very small prize, 5 too. What about 80 Credits and all other participants 20? Also, I believe the Credit prize should depend on the difficulty of the riddle. | |

I didn't find it that easily (IF it's correct!...) I had some logic errors (lol) in the beginning and after I figured that out, I still got stuck halfway. | |
