Figure 1

Enter the store in a nervous mood

After a 10-minute walk from Kanazawa Station, you can see the sign with the words "lost House Coffee Shop" under the sign "MYSTERY COFFEE" straight ahead from the fork beside the road. This seems to be the right place.

Nervous into the store, feel that the store is very spacious and chic.

The details are also full of mystery.

If you sit at the counter, you can see that the inside shelf is decorated with mystery novels that are probably the shopkeeper's favorite.

At this time, the kind shopkeeper brought the menu with a smile. Accidentally see the cover of the menu and coaster, there is a Sherlock Holmes hat logo. There are coffee beans under the hat. I see. This is the meaning of riddle and coffee. It is the logo of the shop.

Then open the menu and see the name of the coffee in the name of the person who likes reasoning. "Ella. Quinn American mix, Herschel Blanc & # 39; s mild mix, Philip Marlowe & # 39; s strong mix.

And as expected, the food menu is in the style of a mystery novel. Mismarple's Maple Waffle, tragedy of X, Sweet death and so on. Because I like Christie, I ordered Allan Poe mixed coffee and sweet death ice cream.

Challenge the guests to solve the riddle

While waiting for dinner, I glanced at the menu and found a mixture of coffee called Detective. I wonder what this is, read the explanation, unexpectedly is not unlocked the password can not place an order for coffee! This is something I have never heard of so far. I looked around the store and found that the puzzle was written on the blackboard!

It looks like a password made up of numbers and Greek letters. The author took out his notebook and began to try to solve the riddle and came up with five or six answers, all of which were wrong. Can you answer that?

Then came the coffee and ice cream I ordered. No matter which one is delicious.

Then the shopkeeper handed over a piece of paper with the words "solving puzzles for customers"! This is the practice of Ellery Quinn, a novel writer who has learned to challenge the reader, saying it is a service for guests who have ordered dessert.

Because it is forbidden to publish it on the Internet, it is a pity that it cannot be shown to you. By the way, the author can't unlock this code either. It is really a "disqualification of reasoning enthusiasts".

Surprisingly, if you solve all 20 puzzles of this password, you will get a "famous detective certificate" and the benefit of goods within 500 yen a month for free. Friends who are confident in solving puzzles, let's try a challenge. (compiled by Nippon Tong, please attach the original link to reprint)
