This is my first puzzle for this event and I greatly enjoyed learning about this landmark and its amazing history. It is a monument that commemorates the Battle of Waterloo and is built on the site where Prince William of Orange is said to have been knocked off his horse after being hit by a musket ball in the shoulder.

To find the entrance to the goodies you have to solve a short riddle. The answer leads to an ITSTOOHARD quiz with prizes and the passcode.

My first letter/digit is infinity turned through 90 degrees, my second and third are the "answer to life, the universe and everything", the fourth letter is the most common letter used in English, the next is the last letter of the English alphabet, my sixth part is an eye, my seventh is the same as my fourth and my final letter is uniform in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/xxxxxxxx where x is the answer to the above.

Note: Collect the passcodes from the 5 landmarks from this week to gain access to a train for week 1!

Thank you jeffhowe for the hint, I think I spent at least another half an hour playing with Photoshop regulations before I realize I was looking at the wrong side of the grass.

Hmmm... The two that gave me trouble were question 3 (which I hadn't seen that as hidden, but part of the construction until I compared it).and question 5, where I have copied the phrases from a reference source without success. I am still stuck on 5 and only 5 which does not appear to be a difficult question for anyone else.

Check this for help if you are still having problems with the answer. I've checked the source and it is still fine.

I can't even get to the ITSTOOHARD quiz ;(

edit: I guessed by bruteforce, since I knew all the other letters. But I still don't get the "my sixth part is an eye"

I probably spent more than half the time trying to find the fourth phrase but I finally got it! Those colours were tricky to tweak. Thanks for the great puzzle.
