While searching the Labyrinth for clues about Return to Labyrinth Volume 4, a young wizard came across two goblin guards.
“We know the title of Chapter 2,” one said.
“Aye, but we can’t tell you!” said the other.
The young wizard was ever so disappointed by this news, but knowing that goblins have a weakness for riddles, he said, “don’t tell me the title, clever sirs, but perhaps you can come up with clues that I might use to find it for myself!”
“Very well!” The guards both said, and these were the clues they offered:
- There are three times as many syllables in chapter 2’s title as there are words.
- The first letter occurs twice.
- The title uses each vowel (a, e, i,o, u) exactly once.
- Chapter 1’s title has two more vowels than chapter 2’s.
- A “devil” of sorts hides in the middle of the word.
- The chapter title is a prominent character’s name.
- Only one of these clues is a lie.
- The highest letter of the alphabet found in the title occurs last.
- No two vowels appear next to each other.
- Jareth’s name shares 3 letters with the title while Spittledrum’s shares 8.
- Toby, Hana and Skub each share 1 letter with the title.
- The other guy was lying. Three of the statements above are lies.
