Modern Architecture
Modern Architecture follows strange rules.
- Place a number in each of the structure’s cells.
- The numbers inside each cage or on each diagonal sum to the shown number.
- The numbers in every diagonal and cage are all distinct.
- The numbers in each row are taken from their respective answers (A=1, …, Z=26). These numbers need to be rearranged in each row to also follow the other rules.
In each row, extract the sum of the highlighted cells.

Modern Art
Modern Art
You decide to draw some modern-looking art, using a certain negative space, a currency symbol, two logos, and two structures as your inspiration.
Erase the part above the axis of symmetry, then rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. Part of your shape should now be a right triangle - poke a hole in it in the shape of a similar, but smaller triangle with the same rotation.
Just erase the blue, yellow and green parts.
Take the outline of the object's highest roof, place an identical copy of it immediately to its right, then rotate everything by 180 degrees.
Erase the top-left part of the logo, then rotate 45 degrees clockwise.
Fill in the space between the two parallel lines.
Look at the object from the side, and draw a line in the shape of its outline's left half. Take the line's top half and stretch it to the right so that it becomes four times wider. Then draw an upward line as long as the outline's height, starting from your shape's bottom-left corner.

Modern Warfare
There are troops dotting every territory - you’ll want to Risk making a dash to move your cavalry on the map.
There are six hidden cavalry pieces, one for each player. Their locations are clued by the answers. Find out where to start and move the pieces on the right paths.
- Move twice, first on land and then on sea.
- Move twice, such that you reach another continent.
- Sail, move west on land, then sail again.
- Start in the nearest territory to where the answer, which does not appear on the map, should have been. Travel by boat twice, going west on the second move.
- This answer could possibly relate to multiple territories. Start from the northernmost one, then move south twice.
- You only occupy one of the neighbouring territories. Just stay where you are. Do not move.
