Easter Hunt

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 9:00:00 AM

Who can solve My Opera's Easter Hunt this year? We've made a few riddles for you to test "the little grey cells". The riddles are not easy and you may find yourself using a few technical skills and a touch of imagination to solve them.

A few simple instructions

To move on to the next riddle and be one step closer to the finish you enter the answer as a My Opera username. For example, if we wanted to know where you could read what's going on behind the scenes at My Opera the correct answer would be devblog [1]. To advance to the next riddle you'd have to enter the answer as a username, like this:

http://my.opera.com/devblog

Please note that the answers are always in lowercase [2], do not contain numbers and has no space. At one point you have to use dash to find the correct URI, but don't worry about that until the end. You can also ask the commfunity for help if you need a nudge in the right direction.

We will reward one lucky winner with a brand new Nintendo DSi. The runners up will receive Opera goodie bags containing cool merchandise (limited stock). We will announce the winners shorly after Easter (April 14).

Face the faceman

To kick off this little riddle Easter session on My Opera we are looking for the "faceman". His name is mentioned in a certain video uploaded by operasoftware on April Fool's Day. Find his name and you have found riddle number two.

Good luck and happy Easter everyone!

[1] Just google it
[2] In comparisson, THIS IS UPPERCASE!

How about a "a nudge in the right direction"? I'm so discouraged

thobi # Wednesday, April 8, 2009 12:43:27 PM

Nguyen Minh TriSword Laker # Wednesday, April 8, 2009 12:44:12 PM

ɥʇɐǝp ɟo ssǝɔuıɹdprincessofdeath # Wednesday, April 8, 2009 1:05:00 PM

i don't need a nudge... i need one big push at the cliff at the history thing... no longer on My Opera? Egg? Cook it? Hwat?!

thobi # Wednesday, April 8, 2009 1:07:17 PM

looks like you nearly reached the end

sitting here for 3 hours without a clue

AnyThing :PClass10a1 # Wednesday, April 8, 2009 1:08:03 PM

@Tamil: I saw that, but what does it have to do w/ dash?

Nguyen Minh TriSword Laker # Wednesday, April 8, 2009 1:12:47 PM

Yes, I did watch it, but I couldn't think of any clue from it

thobi # Wednesday, April 8, 2009 1:14:14 PM

there's a name mentioned within it. take it, that's it!

ɥʇɐǝp ɟo ssǝɔuıɹdprincessofdeath # Wednesday, April 8, 2009 1:16:46 PM

what about me?

sigh*

do i need any info regarding the past versions of Opera for the 4th riddle?

Nguyen Minh TriSword Laker # Wednesday, April 8, 2009 1:17:37 PM

Yes, I knew that name even before I attempted to participate in the hunt, but for some strange reasons, I couldn't find anything.

Unless I misheard that name or mispelled it ... damn, I'm not a native English speaker

if you need the spelling, go to the blog of the one who posted about this riddle.
