Logic Riddles (Riddle 1 )
There are seven doors. Only one of them are safe. You have: gloves that can conduct electricity, a bottle of ice-cold water and boots that stick to the ceiling The first door has acid on its knob. The second door has a burning hot knob. The third door has a serial assassin inside. The fourth door has a drop of 1,000m before plunging into water filled with orcas. The fifth door has a broken knob and so you cannot enter. The sixth door has a code hidden in the knob - you have given part of the code (35_9) and you attempt to put the code in (3579) but the door hermetically seals itself, indicating you have put the wrong code. The seventh door's danger is encoded in an Vigenère cipher and the key is hidden inside a riddle. The riddle is: What has no materialistic keys but can open all the doors and locks in the world? - there are two answers to this riddle. To decipher the Vigenère cipher, you must use both answers. Ater solving the riddle and deciphering the Vigenère cipher, which door is it safe to go through? The Vigenère cipher is: H jiix kc meysnx mzon eoi wzgv quyust gnl coe hrd rg wzynavit dfcv ev spvg lvy ovsr. Bonus: An Enigma cipher has been used last minute: q kdwm ek jlkpxr pwch dqv lpvc djkglo ape bdl pfu yf bguoxbtj pmuo sk dbha bpj enqf. Solve it and see whether the seventh door is still your way out or this is a trick riddle. Put your answers for the Bonus in the Discussion Section.

Since the the first six doors are: acid knob, burning hot knob, serial assasin, drop of 1,000m before being eaten by orcas, a broken knob, wrong code entered and you can't get through, the seventh door is the one you should go through. But the danger is encrypted and the key is wrapped in a riddle. The riddle is: What has no materialistic keys but can open all the doors and locks in the world? Since materialistic indicates nothing of this world apart from the heart and the soul, these are your answers as the heart enables you to open paths of knowledge and the soul is you being alive in the first place so it can open doors to knowldege you haven't seen before (i.e. before meaning in your previous life but we don't remember our previous life.) So you have two combinations for the key: soulheart or heartsoul. Soulheart gives another cipher to solve: P voxq gc vlgetm fvow lwu cozr qdfcez vgh cxl pdj gz szhuihoi wbce ld evkz hvh vdex, so heartsoul is the key to decipher the Vigenère cipher. It gives our danger: A fire so strong that the wind cannot put out and an electric knob to open the door. Now the knob can be tackled as you have gloves that can conduct electricity and the 'enigmatic' fire can be put out by ice-cold water. After putting out the fire, there is a opening and you escape. Therefore the seventh door is the answer ('enigmatic meaning that the wind can put out every fire but this fire contradicts this fact and physics.)
