The solution to the Simple Puzzle request is 304272. Once you’ve picked this request up in Xion, by visiting the Request List board, you can head right over to the objective location. The prompt on the Request List board asks someone to cure their boredom and solve a riddle.

How to solve Simple Puzzle in Stellar Blade

All you have to do is head to the location above, where you find the terminal at the elevator leading to the Presence Chamber. Then, input the above digits, and you’ll be able to return and claim your reward. It’s an incredibly easy side quest. If you’re curious about the solution, here it is. Here's the riddle players are given, and how to solve it:

• 4@7@8 = 285684
• 9@3@5 = 271542
• 6@2@7 = 121426
• 5@6@7 = ?

To get this, you need to first figure out what the pattern for the math riddle is. If you multiply 4x7, you get 28, and if you multiply 8x7, you get 56. That’s the first two sets of digits in the first part of the riddle. Adding those two numbers together gets 84, giving you the pattern to follow.

If you follow that pattern for the second and third sets, you’ll get the appropriate solutions. So, for the final part, you multiply 5x6 to get 30, 6x7 to get 42, and add them together to get 72. Just go type that in at the terminal, and then head back to the request board to complete the Simple puzzle quest.
