Ok, I'll place it here again, so you all can further see it whithout the need to go back to read it:


Ok, here's one more biting (don't say me you'll solve this one easily too):

Can you explain what to do, or is that part of the puzzle ?

I for one don't understand: 'Find the code that is simple' ?* :help:

That's the riddle. You'll have to find out the sense. The riddle is pretty simple, but because you first need to find what to do, it's that hard for you.
It needs logical, mathematical thinking.

Find the code that is simple.
1+1=2
2+2=4
4+3=7
7+4=11
11+5=16
16+6=22
22+7=29
29+8=37
37+9=46
46+10=56
56+9=65
65+8=73
73+7=80
80+6=86
86+5=91
91+4=95
95+3=98
and finnaly, 98 + 2 =100!

Simple indeed!

Edit: I got my brain working on that one for about 20 minutes. And I am pretty tired after a sleepless night. Lost most of my time trying something way too complex, like trying to find a mathematical link in the pyramidal shape of the numbers...

Oh, and before I forget... 100 + 1 = 101. This mean that you could just put 101 under 100 on a single line and start back again from 101 to 200, ad infinitum.

Fluxy: 2 solutions I can think off my head.

First, she began crossing the bridge right after the last guard watch over the bridge. After 3 minutes she was in the middle of the bridge when the guard told her to go away. When the guard went back to his post, she took the remaining 3 minutes to cross the rest of the bridge.

Second: she stealthily climbed under the bridge and crossed it that way.
You were rather close, but here:

When the sentry went into the tower, she would start to cross into Switzerland, and when he came out, she would start to walk back into Germany. When he saw her, he would tell her to turn back into Switzerland.
