Clue #0

Teaser

Before clues are released, only a single picture will be on the page for each of the codewords.

Clue #2

Password

At the location you should find clues to the password for your puzzle. In this case there are two pictures and an indication that the word has six letters.

These are pictures of bubblegum and a hexnut. From this we can figure out the clue is:

gumnut

Now we add the password to the codeword's URL

Solution

Reading the text you'll notice the unusual capitalisation. Four letters are capitalised:

G   I   B   S

There are five pictures but two of them are the same

1   2   3   3   4

If we combine the two we get the name 

GIBBS

This is the last name of of the author and illustrator of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, May Gibbs. All the solutions are the last names of real people (or the name they are known as).

We go to the Solutions page by clicking the button on the home page. There we enter GIBBS as our answer. Make sure you include your student email and group name to get a prize.
