welcome... so you think you can crack my codes...? then step in, traveller, and prepare your mind to be challenged as it never has before...! but before you begin, please, peruse the rules and regulations... you don't want to lose your chance at winning fabulous prizes and glory, do you...? I thought so... rules...: there are three different classes of codes, easy, medium, and hard... you may enter all three, but prizes shall be awarded in as such that one single person does not get all the top prizes... therefore, if you are the first to crack one code, you are ineligible for the top prize in either of the other codes... whether this means you only get the one prize, or get bumped down in rank for the others, well, that depends on the number of entries... do not post your answers here...! this should be rather obvious, but just in case, I posted it... answers shall be submitted via PM, send them to: Teletha Testarossa... this is because my own inbox is dangerously close to full, and I would rather not risk a submission getting deleted by mistake... I will check Tessa-chan's mail every day, so have no worries about your submission being received... if you do not get a confirmation within 36 hours, resend your answer, please... and the most important rule is use your brain... the hard code is a doozy, I have worked on it for several months, making sure it is a worthy challenge... even the easy one should give you pause to think... so, you have read it all...? good, good... then you can begin...

[easy code...]
as you step into the first chamber, a simple piece of paper is on the table in front of you... you walk forward, and look at it's message...

[medium code...]
setting the paper down, you breathe a sigh of relief... that wasn't so hard...! you think, as you pass the table and slip behind the curtain... walking down a short hallway, you find yourself in a dimly-lit room... the floor has been covered in a soft carpet, and there is a comfy looking chair in the center of the room... feeling tired, you sit down... once you do, you notice a series of symbols on the wall, scrawled in what appears to be ash...

[hard code...]
gasping for breath, you stagger out of the chair... that last code had been a challenge, and there was still one more chamber...! walking forward, you push the stone the last code had revealed to you, and a hidden doorway opens slowly, the sound of stone grinding on stone filling the air...
as you enter the passageway, you can barely see the floor in front of you... making your way further in, you nearly stumble to your doom, as the floor abrubtly changes to stairs... making your way cautiously down, the path twists and turns... there are torches lighting the path, but they are few and far between...
it feels like years, but finally you can see a light at the end of the tunnel... passing into it, you are awed by what you see... a majestic temple, ornate and pristine, despite the decades of unuse it has been through... in the place of honor, atop an exhaustive series of steps, is a huge stone...
surely, this must be the final code...! you look it over, anxious to complete it and get out, before something befalls you... but this code is like none other... can you solve it...?
52,43,3*11,2*6,3*8,11,44,2*3*3*3,31,11,44,2*4*4,43,3*11,34!

several people have completed round one... there has been no guesses on rounds two or three, so I just may have to release clues for the both of them soon...

due to nobody whatsoever even attempting rounds two and three, I will release clues for them...
round two... there is a connection between words of the same number of letters...
round three... do the math...
hopefully this will help people enough that they can crack the codes without being too easy...

I'll say a time-saving hint for the second one: Try to figure out an easy way to solve the seven letter words. Then do the one letter words next.

Well, it's been over two months now, and I have received several submissions. Not nearly as many as I'd hoped, but I doubt I'll be getting many more.
Therefore I shall be ending this contest at the end of the month. If you have wanted to enter, hurry up. You only have about a week more.

Meh, I could only figure out the first, but by the time I had looked at this thread, several others had answered it, so why bother? If the prize goes to first correct answer, I know I don't have a shot.
I thought the others were difficult. Will you not only share the answer but also how to solve it when you end contest?

There's been a pretty small number of submissions, feel free to add your own to the list; I'm fairly confident you'd still get a prize.

Thursday night is the latest any further submissions will be counted. The end results will be counted on Friday, and after that I shall explain the codes for all three.
