And I solved it via try, try again, and the 'correct' answer is wrong. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Perhaps the question should say "beside" or "directly adjacent to" instead of "beneath"?
Oops, I guess you are right.
I solved the riddle while thinking "beneath" means "besides" ...
( simple translation misunderstanding ...)

I agree, the riddle was a little confusing while thinking of this "beneath". I had solved it with "beneath" and I managed to get the middle berry as the top berry while it still went by the riddle, so I guessed and then was like "ah. beside. That makes more sense."

I just had to write it out. Process of elimination. It was a bit confusing though. Sorry Lulu I didn't understand your top berry/middle berry thing. But I'm glad you got it!

I'm confused, how can berries lying in a row be beneath each other...

cause it's besides - it's a typo...

The first task doesn't even have any words for me. Its just the skeleton and a conversation bubble but no words or arrows to move forward. =/

Otherwise it's impossible to get correct formulas.
Glad there's at least one clear thinker here... 
I changed the second sentence to "in 24 years he'll be half as old as Alrik then", does that help make it clearer?
Look, I didn't expect everyone to solve the riddles, I was assuming if anyone didn't get it, they could go ask a friend who did.

Well, the point of that riddle is exactly that: There are two berries with the same conditions, which still does narrow down a thing.
I apologize for the translation error in the second riddle, that was my brain not being able to handle translating from Japanese to English and changing the theme of the riddle to something adequate for KofK at the same time. 
The only error in the riddles was purely linguistic, and it has been dealt with.
Hope it's all cleared up,
have fun!

Probably a JavaScript error, clearing cache might help. Do Quests work for you? The event speech bubbles use the same function as the quest speech bubbles...

I'm I the only one who's on the last task? I thought somebody would have posted something about it. I'm buying a new one to give him.

I was able to do the last task with both my main and mule and so was my husband. I didn't even think there might be something wrong I've not been paying attention to the days or anything. I only came here to see if anything was being said because I was a little shocked over the task.
Should we send you the item or something Firn? I don't want to be in trouble or anything.
*blink blink* Now I'm really confused.
