Now it’s time to get cracking. Read the first line of the riddle. It says, “What becomes smaller when you turn it upside down.” Keep in mind that the code is in numbers. Think about a number that gets smaller when it’s turned upside down. The number 9, when turned upside down, becomes 6, and that is a small number. So, the first number you will enter in the safe is 9.

Now read the second line from the note. It says, “An odd number. Take away a letter, and it becomes even”. Once again, you have to focus on the numerics to guess the second number of the safe code. The number “seven” is odd and notice that if we remove the letter s from its spellings. It would be spelled “even.” So 7 is the second number of the safe code. You are now closer to getting the First Biomarker in Dying Light 2.

Deciphering the third line in the riddle may seem complicated, but it’s the easiest. It reads, “A little girl goes to the store and buys one dozen eggs. As she is going home, all but three eggs break. How many eggs are left unbroken?”. You may be calculating the number of eggs in a dozen and subtracting it with the eggs left. But the solution is much simpler. Focus on the line “all but three eggs break.” Which means that only three eggs were left. So, 3 is the last number.
