Puzzle Number One | Riddle Me This

Below is a cryptic riddle, whose answer relates to a specific Tanki item. Solve it!

I contain potassium and am made up of approximately 90% water.

You can find me growing in any continent in the entire world, except Antarctica, of course.

I was recently seen at a major Tanki celebration, sported by many.

I am completely edible but also make a good light source … especially on spooky nights.

What 8 letter word am I?

Answer you need to submit = the single word that is the answer to the riddle

I think I got the first one right, 2nd one I rushed and was too lazy, 3rd one I'm pretty sure I did right :x

[Best_of_thunder_2015 1,354]

uhuh... 

[Best_of_thunder_2015 1,354]

Damn easy. That cipher code was easy and I founded it within 15 minutes.

 

Not to mention but the first one is easy to.  

 

Who cares your jumble, It was hard. 

[maryam98 1,171]

Well I didn' do the 2nd, first and third were super easy, I knew both after about 30 seconds each

[Musa 5,352]

I give up -_-

[Magenta 5,165]

Is the answer for riddle 1 plural?

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

No. 2 can i know whats the point of putting the third word if there are no letters we can use from it?

[Magenta 5,165]

Is the last phrase anything to do with tanki? How well known is it?

[marc.jp_44 20,837]

No. 2 can i know whats the point of putting the third word if there are no letters we can use from it?

Consider it an additional challenge.

Is the last phrase anything to do with tanki? How well known is it?

It’s a message, pretty easy to decode with all the letters I’ve given you.

[Magenta 5,165]

Not the least bit easy, k.

[KILL_BILL_CHAUHAN 2,505]

[kaisdf 3,320]

Did one and two, couldn't do three easily, so didn't do it :P

[Mustard 531]

Third riddle was pretty easy for me, haha :D

[GrandExecutioner 1,403]

RIP saw this too late.

[KILL_BILL_CHAUHAN 2,505]

Nice catch, fixed. Apologies. 

[cosmicdestructor 41]

Nice catch, fixed. Apologies. 

Okay that's so not fair. Think about those like me who put the wrong answer....

Could we get another chance at this? :ph34r:

[GrandExecutioner 1,403]

Wait so no chance to resubmit?

[MJROCKS05 428]

in 2nd puzzle, why is word no.3 even necessary if it is not there in final answer? doesnt make sense

[MJROCKS05 428]

 btw, do we have to unscramble the last word too? because it seems gibberish to me

[MJROCKS05 428]

Not the least bit easy, k.

How did u get the final phrase in puzzle 2??

[Magenta 5,165]
