In only use the numbers, no symbols, I feel like maybe the site's not properly working?
Maybe I should disable my ad blockers or something.

I believe there may have been a slight error in how you've approached the algebra problem. Make sure you read the first line of the 4th stanza much more closely. |

I thought that was long agreed to to be the found number + 2? Or is everyone just being intentionally misleading about it? |

I thought that was long agreed to to be the found number + 2? Or is everyone just being intentionally misleading about it? I believe that was what people thought to begin with. You're on the right track though, just need to read the line again. Try making the line out to be an algebraic expression, and then solve. |

Oh. My. God... Can you believe I subtracted wrong. Thanks!
I feel so stupid. I had it right for a loooong time, but my sleepy head used a 2 somewhere, instead of a 3!

Just to be clear though: I did call the number but I got no message, it just keeps ringing.
Could someone share the message with me somehow? Is it crucial for the hunt?

I'm in the UK, and was unable to call the number. I was still able to find and solve the cipher referenced in other threads, and get up to date with the hunt, so I do not believe it is crucial for the hunt. |

Congratulations on finding the first key. The second key is independent of the first, but I will tell you this: You will need something that you cannot find easily online. That thing is a book..good luck. This is the message I heard from Lukas and it also gets sent to you as a text message if you call from a mobile phone in the United States . |

Yeah I'm a bit disappointed with this one, as it's clearly not a legal way to obtain the key (and therefore likely very prone to error). I'm getting there, but still not sure where to start  |

I'm getting there, but still not sure where to start Lukas said in a hint that you don’t HAVE to call a phone number, which is true. The phone message was just a confirmer, but not needed. If you read through these posts, people speculated about that book way before the phone number was discovered. |

Not everyone owns that book and getting it online either costs money or you have to do it in some not-so-legal ways (which we all do I guess?) |

Ah. Gotcha. That is true. He probably thought that it is such a common book, it would be easy for anybody to get. But I agree, that’s not the case.

Not everyone owns that book and getting it online either costs money or you have to do it in some not-so-legal ways (which we all do I guess?) I found the book here. It seems perfectly legal to me? I even have it on the chapter you need. Just read the riddle and it tells you where to start. www.hogwartsishere.com/library/book/7107/chapter/17/ |
