Competition: [DC] Rogue One: Overly Diabolical Riddles

Finished
[DC] Rogue One: Overly Diabolical Riddles

Upon subscribing to this event, you will be presented with five riddles, transcribed in everyone's favourite Star Wars writing system.

Your task as participant is to answer the riddles, and provide your solutions through the 'submission text' field. Solutions presented through uploaded documents (Word, PDF or otherwise) will not be accepted.

This is a timed event! Subscribing will start a timer! Make sure to have your Aurebesh cheat sheet ready before starting!

The Small Print:

  • Entries will be scored on correctness, with ties broken by speed. (i.e. if the two best entries both have 4/5 questions correct, the fastest wins)
  • Use of external tools or websites is allowed, but (save for an Aurebesh cheat-sheet) should not be necessary to complete any of these riddles. Sharing answers or methods to solve a riddle (other than general hints) with others is not allowed.

50/50. The first four were already heads. But don't tell me the odds.

There are 12 hours on a clock that repeat from 1 each time 12 is reached. 18 hours (from 12) would end on 6. Unless you're on a planet that has more than 12 hours a day, then it can't be true.

No higher, as trees grow from the top. Unless of course, said Vorsa tree shapeshifts to stomp the offender. Barum.

Pravus show know that I'm not crying. I just have some dust in my eyes.
