Quick reminder that you've got until tomorrow afternoon to enter our DS Lite Critter Pack Giveaway contest. If you've got the answer to the riddle, send it in!

Also: it has come to our attention that some people have been 'cheating' on the puzzle. Well, not really cheating, but definitely not figuring it out for themselves.

I personally have nothing but sympathy. If Kotaku employees want a chance at winning the DS Lite, our course is clear: sleep with Crecente. Thirty seconds of crying into a pillow later and we're there. It's relatively easy. But you poor souls: you have to twist your noodles to the task of solving a puzzle so difficult it would challenge a Cylon.

Never the less, please try to come up with the answer for yourselves... or, at least, cheat a bit more surreptitiously. Not only is it more fun that way, but if you're silly enough to cheat in a way that can be Googled, you're actually degrading your chances of winning the DS Lite, not increasing them, because every other idiot out there will be just as able to dig it up.

And if you're degrading your chances to win a regular Nintendo DS Lite pack, you're also degrading your chances to win the Euro Black DS Lite I'll be sending out next week.

Please don't cheat. Or pay good money to cheat. It's less fun and pretty much fucks you over in the long run. Plus, Crecente has been putting a lot of effort into these great puzzles and it makes him cry. Good luck, guys! Florian Eckhardt
