*CHERUB sqeaks in delight, and runs around a bit more. eventually, Ice and herm manage to catch him. a piece of parchment prints out of his panal, it reads
"Congratulations! You must've caught my sweet little blighter. If you can answer this riddle correctly, you'll recieve a prize worthy of your House. If you do not succeed, Chub will come back later and give you another chance. The riddle is:
A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."
The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.
In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet? "

Hey, what's with this bias?! Is the reward only for Gryffs? Then why am I wasting my time here?

*reads the slip of paper over and over again, looking at Ice, confused. Turns to Cherub who is still scooting around the Owlery floor.*
Can we have a little time to ponder on it?
*waits for an answer*

*CHERUB prints out another slip of paper that reads* Of course! Oh, and I forgot to mention, everyone involved gets two guesses. That's four total. Sorry, Nixie, but you'll have to wait until Chub comes back to the Slythies.

*the paper spits out* But of course! This is supposed to be a team effort, remember? You can even employ the help of other houses. Assuming, of course, that they'll help you. It's house against house.

*turns to Cherub* Well the man at the booth won because he wrote "your exact weight" on the piece of paper.
That correct?

*CHERUB squeals* Correct! *he presses a button on his faceplate. it opens up and a conveyor belt unfolds. on the conveyor belt, chocolate sweets of all kinds, especially muffins, come pouring out by the dozens. CHERUB prints out a piece of paper and sprints out of the room. it reads*
Congrats, yet again! You've correctly answered my riddle. CHERUB will now visit the other houses. After a while, however, you'll see him pop up all over the board. If you can catch him a second time and answer another riddle, you'll win a prize of much higher value. NOTE: other houses are off limits. Cheerio!

*turns to look at Ice* What that is it mean exactly, other houses are off limits? Does that mean we can't help the others?
