    I wasn't sure where to put this, so I decided to place it in General Discussion. If this isn't the place for this puzzle, please move this to the proper area, mods. Thank you.

    The Wonderbolts aren't the only team of stunt Pegasi in Equestria. Each town and city that's big enough has their own team of Pegasi. In this year's Equestria Multi-team Rally, a pony from every stunt team across Equestria was chosen to race. Unfortunately, the results of the rally were lost after a mailmare got sidetracked, and mistook North for South. Only the first four racers to complete the rally are known, but there's only bits and pieces of information to work with. I need your help. Who placed where, and what team were they from? I'll tell you what I know.

    The four First names of the ponies are as follows:
    - Ace
    - Cloud
    - Luminal
    - North

    The four Last names of the ponies are as follows:
    -Dancer
    -Lights
    -Nimbus
    -Swift

    The four teams who won are:
    -The "Canterlot Calvary"
    -The "Manehattan Mustangs"
    -The "Ponyville Pintos"
    -The "Wonderbolts"

    - The pony with the last name "Swift" won the race.

    - Cloud Dancer did not place Second.

    - Luminal, who placed Third, does not have the last name "Lights."

    - The pony who placed fourth is not part of the Manehattan Mustangs.

    - North, who is one of the Wonderbolts, finished after the pony representing Canterlot.

    We were both right.
    I love these puzzles and tend to be quick with them. Have some rep though for getting it.

    That was...surprisingly quick.

    I'm impressed. I added +rep to both of you.

    Thing is, I was waiting for somepony to say they were stumped or to say they weren't gonna do it. I had a prize lined up as an incentive. But now, you guys complete it before the prize was announced.

    So tell you what; I have another puzzle: A riddle. if you can solve this riddle, I'll give the prize to the pony who solves it.

    The prize is a story featuring an original character or character from the show. One chapter, written by me, any genre of the winner's choice. Do you accept these terms, and are you ready for the riddle?

    Alright, we have some ponies who want to solve the riddle.

    And I don't think you understand the reward, shyflutter. The fic will be written after the riddle is solved, and it will feature a pony of the winner's choice.

    Being that this thread will quickly fill up with responses, I will require that any answers to my riddle be given to me through PM. The first pony to have the correct answer to the riddle will be announced after I have received the answer, and the answer will be given then. Alright, here it goes.

    I am a home, and yet a mortuary,
    for those who are not among the wary.
    With my builder I will converse,
    But never in speech or verse.
    In the morning mist I am revealed,
    But in daylight I am concealed.
    Engraved in memory, the facts not deleted,
    In rebuilding, the dimensions are repeated.
    Now over these clues your mind must fly,
    Pondering the question: What am I?

    Congratulations to Everypony who participated. Unfortunately, the riddle has already been answered. The answer is a Spider's web. And who is the winner?

    Well, it's a funny story. Two ponies sent in their answer at the exact same minute. And they were both correct, and got it first.

    Therefore, I will write a story for both of them. They can either be separate, or together. Congratulations, Blize, and JoninFoxNinja.

    PM me the Genre and the names and descriptions of the characters you want in your story(ies).
