"Obviously it's this one," you say as you tap the image you know to be correct. 

The swirls of magic sparkles that make up the barrier freeze for an instant before turning a delightful green and popping like a soap bubble with the sound of a chime. 

"Awesome!" One down, two to go.

You continue to ascend the stairs, emboldened by your previous success. Not that it had really been all that difficult. Maybe it would have been hard for somepony else who hadn't collected as many items, but for you it was a breeze! Whoever said keeping everything you find was a bad idea obviously never did a dungeon crawl.

In no time at all you reach a second barrier, identical to the first. Once again, floating words appear as you approach, but this time instead of little spinning pictures, numbers drift back and forth on gossamer wings.

The text pulses slightly as you read it.




To face a fear and overcome it is a great triumph. But what good is a victory if you don't learn anything from it? Knowledge is a power all its own.
How many times their body weight does the average Equestrian eat in cake per year?




"What the hay kind of question is that?" you demand. It doesn't even have anything to do with Nightmare Night! Well, except for eating sugar. But candy and cakes are totally different things! That's why Bon Bon and the Cakes are rivals and not partners.

Still, you feel like you know the answer to this somehow. All you have to do is concentrate and remember it.
