SquireJames88 in another thread mentioned about watching the movie, Ready Player One, and how this seems to have influenced the hunt, which Lukas said it did.....
I've read the book.....and need to reread it...but while I agree neither will hold direct hints (we know all can be found in the Riddle) --either watching the movie or reading the book might offer some understanding to how maybe the 'Riddle' works...
For instance, in the book, there is the paragraph:
"The OASIS became such an integral part of people's social lives that users were more than willing to shell out real money to buy accessories for their avatars: Clothing, furniture, houses, flying cars, magic swords, and machine guns. These items were nothing but ones and zeros stored on the OASIS servers." [/b]
And that line in bold seems to relate to the first and last stanzas just stating the keys are stored digitally... (as mentioned in the Six Questions)
It's also interesting to note the Introduction Riddle of Ready Player One:
Three Hidden Keys open three hidden gates Wherein the errant will be tested for worthy traits and those with the skill to survive these straits will reach The End where the prize awaits
If I get chance later (and I'm not sure I will this week), but I'll write up a post on how the Riddles were solved in the book... unless someone does it before .... and not that I think they hold a direct clue...but they might help with maybe understanding the concept/method Lukas MIGHT have applied...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvpyliMLEGAThis is what Wade had to play in the cave to get the final clue to open the third gate. How about those first 4 guitar notes as the video opens? Sound the same? EDIT: Nah. Hahah. However, it is interesting that there is this 3rd musical component like RP1.

Reading the book now. Looking at his stanza setup versus the ones in the book for the solution to that puzzle. I am at the part where he get the copper key and defeats the dungeon lich in the arcade game of Joust. I don't see anything yet to direct further with any of the stanzas, other than he discovers the key in different meaning of the phrase "to learn". That's what triggered my posts in stanza 3 and 5.
