Hello!

Edit: thanks for playing!

It's Halloween and Scarecrow has something big planned. Riddler needs more thugs to set up trophies. The job pays well, but it's not open to just anyone. We need to pass a test of sorts...

The rules:

- the winner will be picked at random with https://wheelofnames.com/.

- Answer each riddle. The riddles don't have to be answered correctly, so just give it your best shot. Riddler's opinion of us is low enough that he assumes we'll never get them right.

- No joke answers. Riddler takes this riddle thing pretty seriously. Besides, the joke bit is already spoken for.

- The giveaway ends in 24 hours.
