P1: Trick the Dragon
Smiley face

You're scanning everything in front of you as though it is a very highly colored dream... It is time to do what you have to do ... to focus your mind, entirely and absolutely, upon the thing that is your only chance ... ... the Horntail is still following your progress; its head revolving on its long neck -- if he kept this up, it would be nicely dizzy -- but better not push it too long, or it would be breathing fire again -- ... A possibility occurs to you! The macro details are not important... the trick is to parse tokens carefully, gradually...

Will you be able to bring yourself triumph in eyes of Hogwarts or will you allow Draco to win his wager of your tap-out. Remember the judges are watching.

Smiley face

Come seek us where we match our types... We cannot sing above the ground, And while you are searching, ponder this: ... Too late, its gone, it won't come back.

Will you be able to find the types of creatures that lurk beneath ... or shall you be unprepared for the challenges in the deep?

P3: Get your wheezy from Merpeople

The ropes of weed tying the hostages to the statue are thick, slimy and strong. For a fleeting second you think ...

Will you be able to create a magical intermediate representation to save your best friend?

P4: The Unexpected Task
Smiley face

... finding a partner for a dance would be a cinch compared to taking on a Hungarian Horntail. But now that you have done the later, and are facing the prospect of finding a partner, you'd rather have another round with the Horntail.

Will you be able to simplify the task for finding the right partner or go to the Yule Ball with Fluffy instead?

P5: Maze - map the Virtual to Physical
Smiley face

We are going to be patrolling the outside of the maze. If you get into difficulty, and register a rescue message, send red sparks into the air, and help will be allocated to get you, do you understand?

Will you be able to map the virtual reality to the real world or will you be lost in the maze forever?
