033 - Diggings

The original inhabitants of Serendipity are the cause of much speculation among archaeologists. Completely vanished by the time of the first European settlers, we only know them through the artifacts and art that they left behind.

The attached image is typical of the hyper-detailed cave art found in diggings in the Fortune Woods, and is often shown to new archaeology students. On a first view, many students claim that it shows humanoid figures with weapons, animals, and a wheel, but SU's Chair of Archaeology, Urtha Bennett, takes great delight in telling them how wrong they are.

What does the cave art actually depict?

013 - Jason D

Hillary Black keeps her most valuable secrets in a locked safe. Unlocking the safe requires a 12-letter-long passcode.

Unfortunately Hillary isn't good about keeping her passcode secret. She wrote it on a piece of paper, and then dropped the paper outside her office, where it's been trodden on and damaged. A lucky burglar has found the scrap of paper and is now trying to make sense of it.

The first six letters of the code are illegible, but the last six are:

J A S O N D

What is the complete code likely to be?
