Free Stuff!

Well, after 2 years of Guild Wars I'm moving on. The thrill is no longer there; it's getting boring.
So, I'm giving away many of my possessions (keeping some in case GW2 lures me back) through a riddle
contest. It's fairly simple: there are prizes of money and packs of golds/items/minis etc.

Prize One + Pack One: 100k + 10 items [Won by Rekiara Malevu]
Prize Two + Pack Two: 50k + 10 items
Prize Three + Pack Three: 25k + 10 items

So there will be three winners and each one will receive a prize!
How do you get these prizes? Solve one of my riddles.
First person to PM me an answer gets first prize, second gets second prize etc.

Each riddle will be posted when the previous riddle has been solved. The riddles don't differ too much in difficulty, so solve fast!

RIDDLE ONE - SOLVED BY REKIARA MALEVU
*this riddle I borrowed from a friend*

avem vu khehyas ard ce dyrf?

Answer Format: [number][consonant][number] eg. 8g1
CLUE ADDED: "My cousin is called Al. Where does he sleep?"
Just think laterally/outside the box.
To prevent people from googling the question and copying/pasting the result I require an explanation of how you reached the answer.

Onto number two!

RIDDLE TWO - SOLVED BY MENDEZ256
Origin: Unknown
Destination: Pluto
During the journey I approach Neptune but in a universe of change, I am one.
What am I?

CLUE: The answer is not necessarily an object (such as a car) but may be a concept (such as love)
CLUE #2: The wording of the riddle is a red herring. Think of the riddle as a "my first is, my second is etc.

EXAMPLE:
My first is in grin but not gin (letter r)
My second starts an igloo (letter i)
My third finishes the sun (letter n)
My last is in gin but not in (letter g)
Answer: RING

RIDDLE THREE - SOLVED BY KYOMI TACHIBANA
Word One:
Oscar/Charlie/Papa/Echo/Papa/Romeo

Word Two:
What am I?
I am inside your body
I am an Olympic Sport
I am a part of a musical instrument
What am I?

Word Three:
Plural of a pronoun!

This riddle is similar to the last one. The answer is a three-word phrase/name/description etc. and you have been given specific clues for each word. The final answer is related to the Guild Wars Universe!

Yeah, once I give the first/second clue it becomes relatively easy (that's from my point of view though!!)

Ah, ok.
Basically, the answer can be expressed in that format: [number][consonant][number].
Similar to how the word twenty can be expressed as 20.

Please DO NOT post answers in this thread. Not only does it clutter it, but it may give away your answer to others.

PM Only.

Also, random guessing won't work...there are over 6700 possible combinations lol

Yes it is. The phrase I supplied is a question. The answer to the question can be expressed in that format.

Think about it.

What do you mean laterally is up and down? Where did you go to school man? Vertical is up and down hence the term Vertical Leap, it's not called the Lateral Leap.

This doesn't make sense... Is the answer a phrase or just random numbers and letters? You need to provide more information. Not more clues necessarily (although that would be nice), but more of what we are looking for.

Seriously, more information is necessary if you want anyone to solve this, giving people a set of jumbled letters and "the answer is in the format of number letter number" doesn't do anything.

OK, since you're all asking for clarification.
Firstly, Kyomi it is a consonant.

Now, I have given you guys the phrase "avem vu khehyas ard ce dyrf?"
This is a question that has been scrambled/encrypted/changed etc. (those are just examples)
You must unscramble/decrypt the phrase and answer the question.
When you read the question and work out the answer (not hard) you will realise it can be expressed in the form [number][consonant][number]

Gold, PM me with an answer.

Everybody else; think it through.
What have I told you?

1. That "avem vu khehyas ard ce dyrf?" is an encoded question
2. That a clue to the meaning of the phrase is "My cousin is called Al. Where does he sleep?"

So, think of some answers to the clue. Where could Al sleep? How does that answer relate to decrypting the question?

It's a tricky one.

Congratulations to Rekiara Malevu who correctly solved the riddle with an answer of "4t2"

He wins the first prize of 100k + 10 items.

STAY POSTED FOR THE NEXT RIDDLE. WILL BE POSTED WITHIN 24 HOURS. (It would be now, but I'm not at home so I don't have access to my riddles)

His answer:

Quote:

"My cousin is called Al. Where does he sleep?"

Well, if he's like most people, then, in bed.

Al... bed... al... bed...

Al Bhed.

Final Fantasy X fanboy mode activated!

"avem vu khehyas ard ce dyrf?"

=

"efil fo gninaem eht si tahw?"

=

"What is the meaning of life?"

In a number/consonant/number representation, this is easily answered by Douglas Adams' great Hitchhiker's Guide - 42... written as 4t2

In short, my answer is:

4t2
