HardEdit On Hard difficulty a poem will be engraved on the oven door.

The poem reads: "Burn the one who knows no death Pure, adored by those above No prayers within, just simple love And now the pining hunter The flames longing for his rebirth A distant breath within the earth Burn up that heavy body of his Make it wind, dancing in the sky That bottomless gut now a cloud, now a sigh The sweet blood on his laughing lips Now calls him to the gates of Hell There burns evermore that soulless shell Four bodies return to ashes Thus the door is opened Thus the door is opened" The first four verses are most important, as they point to the correct four digi ts. Along with the oven door, each gurney now holds a poem of its own, each rela ting to a unique bird. The poems found on the gurneys read: 1 Song of the Sparrow "Who killed Cock Robin? 'The Sparrow,' they said 'He wants them all dead To him, honey-sweet is their sobbin'" 2 Song of the Owl "The Owl who forgot the sky Resigned to his poor earthbound state Hungry or full didn't matter at all He ate and he ate and he ate" 3 Song of the Thrush "The grass the Thrush so loved to eat Gave him sweet happiness He sank ever deeper and finally fell To destruction and fatal distress" 4 Song of Cock Robin "Cock Robin, who hid the key away Is ash in the oven, all right The place he held is empty now And the doors remain shut tight" 5 Song of the Lark "The Lark's child lost all his words And walled himself up all away Heart and mouth both locked up tight In a cage where none want to stay" 6 Song of the Dove "The Dove's hope died; he chose his path His flapping wings fell still Drenched in scarlet here they lay His cheeks pale white and chill" 7 Song of the Linnet "He seeks out her soul by his own

black ambition Frightening her out of her wits Whispering love songs into her ear What cruel Linnet wants, he gets" 8 Song of the Rook "The black Rook is the praying sort Who hears the gods in the skies His whispered petitions go on without end And glassy and dim are his eyes" 9 Song of the Wren "The Wren, with pure heart as yet unrefined Makes us laugh with his feeble lip-smacking But still we all know he shall never grow old And he knows not how much he is lacking" 0 Song of the Kite "The Kite, hot, crazy, and panting mad Sweet shackles that tease and excite Death itself would drive him wild Red blood that turns milky white" Unlike the riddle on Normal difficulty, there is always only one answer here. Th e key to finding the four digits is in matching the correct songs to the first f our verses on the oven door. The first verse and the Song of the Wren both contain the word "pure." The song also says that "he shall never grow old," which would mean he "knows no death." Thus, the first number in the code is 9, the Song of the Wren. The second verse and the Song of the Owl both allude to the earth. The owl is al so depicted as a hunter who is no longer able to fly. Therefore, the second numb er in the code is 2, the Song of the Owl. The third verse is arguably the most difficult, as there is no direct clue to wh ich bird it refers to. It turns out that the verse is based on the Song of the L innet, possibly for the following reasons: The linnet is known to eat three time s its weight in seeds, sometimes to the point of being unable to fly. The corpse where the song is found also "sighs" Heather's name as she approaches it. Thus the third number in the code is 7, the Song of the Linnet The fourth verse alludes to a bird who has "blood on his laughing lips," is call ed to the "gates of hell" and "burns evermore." The most likely candidate to thi s position is the Sparrow, who is the original murderer in the poem and wants ev erybody dead. Therefore, the final number in the code is 1, from the Song of the Sparrow. Put the clues together and the final product of the riddle is the four-digit cod e: 9 2 7 1. TriviaEdit The riddle in Hard difficulty is derived from the English nursery rhyme, Who Kil led Cock Robin. It is confirmed that the corpse on gurney #7 belonged to Stanley Coleman. The So ng of the Linnet that is found on the corpse also alludes to his personality, an d the Happy Birthday Caller said that "his new name is... number seven." This is most likely the reason why the number 7 is always in the four-digit code, and w hy a sigh is heard when Heather is finally near him.
