Want to have some fun, maybe win a prize, and prove a college professor wrong? Here’s the email we originally received from Lexiconer Julika:
I‘m writing to ask you if it was possible that the Lexicon provided some help with one of my courses. I study Anglophone Literature in Germany and one of my courses asks for a web project in literature. I proposed some sort of riddle/quiz/treasure hunt based on the Twilight saga and anything surrounding it and my lecturer was quite taken by the idea, especially because it’s so current.
We’re usually up for helping out most student projects if we have the time, so we asked for more details and here’s what Julika said:
It took some time, but I finished my project. University obstacles were met and dodged and the riddle can finally get going. Since I will have a small contest in which I’ll give away five t-shirts from WeBook Apparel (http://www.webookapparel.com/), I thought I’d let you know in advance that I will upload and start Twilight Riddle tomorrow around 11 am CET(5:00am EST). The address is http://riddles.juliakniep.de/. At the moment it’s still the “Under Construction” page but that will change come tomorrow… My lecturer has the odd opinion that there won’t be enough people interested. I hope Twilighters can show him.
53, anyone? i guessed and it skipped me ahead to another questions, so clearly my thought isn’t right!
Ok, somehow by guessing I jumped to 70… “A tool to ignite the time before nightfall.” Any suggestions?
I’m on the Rules and instruction page but how do I start? I thought there would be a link were it says letitbegin but theres not. Please help.
omg.. thank you so much… it was so easy after all.. omg.. ^^ thanks =)
OK I’ll try to figure this MTV thing.
I know that one I got stuck on. The book says “boyfriend” is not enough. So Bella thinks Edward is really her……( think true love, one and ONLY)
Whats in Jacksonville? anyone a little hint i know what conversation but what word
vampiregirlsince1918: The first page is the start of the riddles. letitbegin is a clue.
mouchy: Where is Jacksonville located?
what’s in jacksonville.
She says this in the movie
What you do call people who live in Florida?
Wow I could just skip to 22! Ha ha. But I’ll go through all these. Still stuck on MTV!! HA HA
dgrlmp: Try google searching MTV and Twilight. You might find it that way.
UGH stuck on 5
Well it is in Florida and i know the weather there but my word aint right
how do i get to the riddles?
help!! i’m stuck on question 23:
What leads Bella to the discovery that sometimes indeed “skipping is healthy”?
I really have no idea…
Mouchy, did you see the movie?
Amber, the first page IS a riddle
me too on 5…
It’s not only Bella’s soul that “needs” protection, Edward also protects her from herself.
Yet, he also tries to protect something else throughout Eclipse. And it’s something they both have in common despite their differences.
is it something like virginity?
@mouchy: think of people who live in florida…
@brook… what did they do in biology once?
70 anyone? Anyone? A tool to ignite the time before nightfall?
hints on 53? Anyone?
Sarah, post the question too. We don’t know which questions go with which numbers.
49 anyone?
vampiress015: Please post the question too, so we know which one you’re talking about.
i’m still stuck on 53 with you sarah!
Sorry! The song that was treated as Bella’s lullaby before Carter Burwell and possibly before the whole movie business.
hint on this?
It’s not only Bella’s soul that “needs” protection, Edward also protects her from herself.
Yet, he also tries to protect something else throughout Eclipse. And it’s something they both have in common despite their differences.
Question 61 is driving me mad – I’m sure I have the answer and I have tried the italian and english versions but nothing seems to be working
we need a HINT for number 60 !!!
Sarah, try google searching Bella’s Lullaby
erm, 49 is Not all readers fall under the dominant label. The representative of a different species of readers who didn’t change his name after fishing the first book. Help anyone??
why is noone helping me…
Saskia: i think i know what the answer is, but i cant seem to get the wording right..
hey so, i got the answer to the question 18, but now I’m stuck on question 25
55,2 miles from Port Angeles to Forks. When you go by car … as a human … about how long will it take you (in minutes)?
can u guys help me, am going nuts here.:(
HINT FOR #60 PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAASE !!!!!!!!!!!!
Saskia: think of the 10 commandments if you know them…
brooke.. i think it has something to do with virginity… but i tried everything..
Saskia, think about the chapter where edward “kidnaps” bella. It’s in there. Those who have gotten past 55, any suggestions? I’m completely stuck. It’s the one about hiding in plain sight. Thanks a bunch. This is so fun!
simplythebest: GIGGLE maps what does GIGGLE sound like? go there.
R426: click things
simiplythebest try using a map/direction website. it’ll give you the answer.
saskia: what do they not do in edward’s room, to protect edward’s what?- and this is one of the reasons edward asks bella to marry her…any help?
NUMBER 60 PLEEEEASSEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
question is :
Remember the answer to question 53? Name the song that is associated with an event during the “Party”.
omg, 55 is sooooo good!
NEVER MIND!!! WE GOT IT!
erm, i posted the question for no.49 but it says something bout moderation so here it is again (it may be posted twice)
49- Not all readers fall under the dominant label. The representative of a different species of readers who didn’t change his name after finishing the first book.
Help anyone??
wat is 55??
saskia: it is in the compromise chapter of eclipse. She accuses him of trying to save his —-, but he says “silly girl I’m trying to save yours!”
Anyone have 70 yet or haven’t got there but have a hint for me? A tool to ignite the time before nightfall?
still stuck on 5 :sigh:
you guys, i figured out the giggle thing, and i went there, but what to type in the search box, i have no idea
sorry for being so clueless
