Treasure Hunt Puzzle

CHALLENGE:

Here's a string of numbers. You want to convert them into a different string of numbers. Here's how:

If a number is followed by a 1 then subtract 1 from that number and write it down.

If a number is followed by a 2 then add 1 to that number and write it down.

If a number is followed by a 3 then leave the number as it is and write it down.

If a number is followed by a 4 ignore the number and leave a blank.

If a number is followed by a 5 ignore it and write down 9 instead.

If a number is followed by a 6 then subtract 2 from it and write it down.

If a number is followed by a 7 then add 2 to it.

If a number is followed by an 8 then add 1 to the last number you wrote down.

If a number is followed by a 9 then ignore that number and write down 3 instead.

If a number is followed by a 0 then ignore it and write down 1 instead.

The numbers wrap, so if you have a 0 and have to subtract 2 from that, write down an 8.

Example: 01234567890 would be converted to
922_938931


52569145374504546504504188456957

Now circle every 4rth number (or blank). Each number represents a colour. Find an object with the circled colours to find your next clue.


0 is Grey 6 is Pink
1 is White 7 is Orange
2 is Blue 8 is Brown
3 is Green 9 is Purple
4 is Yellow Blank is Red
5 is Black

Example: for 12_456 the circled number would be 4 and the object would have the colour Yellow in it.




Now take the new numbers you got and change them into letters:

1 is M or N or T 6 is W or G or B
2 is C or B or P 7 is N or L or C
3 is R or T or F 8 is E or Y or S
4 is W or O or H 9 is O or I or A
5 is C or E or R

Good luck!
