- Dear Everyone,
- I, Charles Bucket, have decided to allow six children - just six, mind you, and no more - to visit my factory this year. These lucky six will be shown around personally by me, and they will be allowed to see all the secrets and the magic of my factory. Then, at the end of the tour, as a special present, all of them will be given enough chocolates and sweets to last them for the rest of their lives! So watch out for the Golden Tickets! Six Golden Tickets will be awarded to the first six minors to solve the puzzle I've placed on my wonderful whimsical WonkaWeb. This simple puzzle may be solved on any device with access to the Internet, no matter how slow. And the six smart solvers of my simply stupendous screen-based stumper are the only ones who will be allowed to visit my factory and see what it's like now inside! Good luck to you all, and happy head-scratching!

- He took a sad breath, typed it up, and hit enter.
- Nothing happened.
- Chili realized that he was crying. He wiped his tears away and stuffed a chocolate bar into his mouth. And one more. And one more. And one more. And one more...
- ...
- There was brown vomit everywhere. It was on Ms. Ownreewhard's carpets, and on her floors, and on her many framed paintings of all the good deeds she had done.
- Most importantly it was on the computer screen, which it had gone inside. The bucket was now filled with chocolately vomit. Chili stared at it, not knowing what to do. He had severely misunderstood how computers worked.
- Little fireworks began firing on the top half of the screen. They formed words.
- 'CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WIN :D! YOU DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF SOLVING THE PUZZLE! I OWN A CHOCOLATE FACTORY SO OF COURSE WHAT I LIKE BEST IS CHOCOLATE! AND ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS PUT IT INSIDE THE BUCKET! YOU ARE VERY GOOD AT RIDDLES! REACH IN AND TAKE IT!'
- An arrow pointed inside the bucket. Chili followed it, reached inside, then pulled out the sixth Golden Ticket.
- He wiped the vomit off of it and began to read. There was the long formal congratulatory message that Ned had read on television the day JUROR had won, but beneath it there were also more instructions on what he was to do next.
- 'SERIOUSLY GOOD JOB I MEAN IT ;D! THAT WAS A HARD RIDDLE! YOU ARE INVITED TO MY FACTORY THE DAY AFTER THE LAST PERSON WINS THE CONTEST! YOU CAN TAKE TWO ADULTS OR GUARDIANS WITH YOU! WE WILL HAVE A TON OF FUN TOGETHER XD!'
- Chili read it twice over before putting it in his pocket and leaving Ms. Ownreewhard's house.
