The Third Set of Puzzles

Mr Grandison has discovered another letter in his grandfather's effects, a letter forwarded by Dupin that appears to be to Dupin from a personage - who, it is reported, has become curiously manifest inside Masque Of The Red Death.

I have 'placed' this personage online. Find and befriend him, email and 'he' will respond with the letter. And here are three puzzles each with equivalent answers. Combine the answers in order to discover what you need to find him.

Email me the first word of the letter and the three puzzle answers to gain the opportunity of entrance into Masque Of The Red Death. The deadline is noon next Monday 3 December - send as much as you can by then, when new puzzles will be set. Good luck!

The second set

Mr Grandison has discovered a Letter within his grandfather's effects, correspondence of four sheets. To discover each sheet, follow the same snipurl mechanism I used in the first wave (see this post below) with the following three puzzles I've set for you.

Send to me here the first word on each sheet of correspondence as your answer.

The first and fullest answers received will garner the opportunity of entering 66 Theatre Street and Masque Of The Red Death. My mystery help has been busy and we can now sneak in four pairs per week (we'll tell you how you buy and acquire tickets if you win). And anyone who gets inside and reports fully on their experience will gain the rank of Hunter and a stake in whatever treasure we find.

Happy cracking!
