Easter Hunt winners

During last week's holiday we asked you to complete a short, but very difficult (or so we thought), Easter Hunt on My Opera. We presented you with a set of riddles to be completed in order to enter a random draw to win a Nintendo DSi or an Opera goodie bag. :cool:

It took roughly 4 hours before missevilat had cracked all the riddles and was the first to complete the hunt. For her great effort we'd like to reward her with a cool Opera goodie bag. The lucky winner of a Nintendo DSi can be found on bottom of this post, but first let's have a look at the solutions of this year's Easter Hunt. :up:

Walk me through it!

First riddleThe first riddle pointed you to Opera's very own "Faceman": Aleksander. We wanted to know what side you'd choose after watching our "Opera Mini vs. iPhone" video.


Second riddle wrongIf you chose right as your answer you'd be wrong, because we wanted you to say left. :wink:


Second riddle correctGood, good. Left was the correct choice! For this riddle we wanted to know "Barry" Allen's first name. If you looked closely you had a series of clues. You could examine the image and notice the small "Flash" logo embedded, check out the page title, google the blog text, etc. Anyway, "Barry" Allen's first name is Bartholomew.


Third riddle correctSome of you might not recognize the man up front, but if you looked behind him you'd see a famous plumber... You could "Select All" text or inspect the page source to find out a few more details about Satoru Iwata (President and CEO, Nintendo) and his popular column "Iwata asks" - which is the correct answer to this riddle.


Fourth riddleIf you'd come this far we'd be pretty sure you knew what to look for on this page. If not the hidden white text gave it away, you could look at the screenshot, the page title ("History is here") or the alt description in the image to find out you had to visit the Opera version history page to find the answer to this riddle.


Fourth riddleWe had hidden a very small egg on the page (Apr. 10, 2001) which linked to the the last riddle of this year's Easter Hunt.


Fifth riddleThe white rabbit has been made famous from film classics such as "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Matrix". We wanted you to follow the white rabbit too, and if you literally did what you were to told to do, you'd complete this year's Easter Hunt! :hat:
