ANSWER FOR BS8: C
EXPLANATION:
All other square has its Letter located in either TOP-LEFT, TOP-RIGHT, BOTTOM-LEFT, BOTTOM-RIGHT.
Only Square ‘C’ confuses me since the letter location is way to low for it to be in top-left location.

ANSWER FOR BS6: J
EXPLANATION:
The traitor is Judas whose name starts with a “J”.
He is hiding in his initial which is “J”. His name also has a total of 13 characters (Judas Iscariot). This is the value of X; 13. From the equation X = [Y1 + 6 ] + [Y2 - 2] + [Y3 + 0], X=y1 + y2 + y3 + 4. Y1 Y2 and Y3 are 3 different unknown values. I got their value in the year Disraeli was born which is 1804. This makes y1=1, y2=8, and y3=0. Completing the equation, X=1+8+0+4=13.
Why J? Why not C, A, etc?
From the quotation of disraeli, “Change is constant”. I can be sure that C, H, A, N , G, E are all constant. Meaning they do not vary. Or i can say that they are loyal so they cannot be the traitor.
Metamorphosis is required after the third dot. The third dot can be F (B is 1, D is 2, F is 3, I is 4, J is 5) since C,H,A,N,G,E were eliminated to be the traitor. After the third dot pertains to “I” since I follows “F”. Metamorphosis on “i” will give you “j”. Notice how they look alike except for the hook “j” has.
Im not really sure about my answer. HAHA… I hope i got lucky.

ANSWER FOR BS6: C
EXPLANATION: I think the hardest puzzle here is BS6, so let me begin with it. Then after answering this, I’ll just base my answers to the existing answers of some commenters which I think was right.
Hmmmmmmm… Why C? Let me explain base on the hints and tips as stated in the instructions.
TIPS:
1. The answer is subtle - Yes, it is.
2. You need to find X - Ok
3. Y1 Y2 and Y3 are 3 different unknown values - I guess so
4. There’s only one answer - That’s C
HINTS:
1. The traitor is hidden - Yes, because it is subtle
2. “Change is inevitable. Change is constant.” - Benjamin Disraeli - This one is tricky. There are chances that the hidden answer is in the history of Mr. Disraeli, and there are also chances that it’s hidden in his quotation. As Donald and Anika deciphered in literally, I’ll try to decipher it in a profound way.
Benjamin D’Israeli, (21 December 1804 – 19 April 1881), was a British Conservative statesman and literary figure. He served in government for three decades, twice as Prime Minister. A teenage convert to Anglicanism, he was nonetheless the country’s first and thus far only Prime Minister of Jewish heritage. He played an instrumental role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party after the Corn Laws schism of 1846.
I think I need to research more about the modern Conservative Party or anything related to D’Israeli. After reading the history of Benjamin, I found out that he often refer to the first letter of the word as the key to everything or the solution to any problem that he deals with. Just like the quote Change is constant, Change starts with “C”. This simply means that C is the answer.
3. X = [Y1 + 6 ] + [Y2 - 2] + [Y3 + 0] - If Y1 and Y2 and Y3 are 3 different values, we can apply any number to these unknown values. If we say, Benjamin Disraeli, the answer is quite simple. Benjamin always related Y1 as A, Y2 as B, and Y3 as C. A was added by 6, whereas B was subtracted by 2, which let’s C the unmoved value. So this determines that C is clearly the answer.
4. Metamorphosis is required after the third dot - Benjamin often refers to Metamorphosis as a result to a certain phenomena in a certain point of time. Or if we paraphrase it, it simply direct to the answer of something or the value of something that you are looking. So Metamorphosis refers to the answer. If you look at the picture, C is the third dot. So if Metamorphosis is the answer, then C is the answer. Therefore Metamorphosis is equal to C

ANSWER FOR BS6:E
EXPLANATION:
X = [Y1 + 6 ] + [Y2 - 2] + [Y3 + 0] is an algebraic expression which contains the variables x and y that represents unknown numbers.
The only logical solution I came up with the equation X = [Y1 + 6 ] + [Y2 - 2] + [Y3 + 0] is
X=y1+4+y2+y3, thus x is 4.
D is the 4th letter in the alphabet and C is the third, thus C is the third dot and D is required to metamorphose in order for us to catch the real traitor.
This change in D is the one I’m trying to figure out.
Same to Donald’s observation that all the letters from A to J is present in “Change is inevitable. Change is constant.” - Benjamin Disraeli, except for F, so we could assume that F is the traitor.
I also tried equating it with musical tone. If you would look at the piano the normal tones(white) are C D E F G A B and sharp tones (black) are C# D# F# G# and Bb. That is why I came up with the answer E.
lalo atang gumulo. Di me tuloy makatulogggggg.

piano? yey!
actually the true reason why its E because metmorphosis is a stage of development so the next stage would be E.
but it could also be F since we are looking for the value of Y1,Y2 and Y3 then it would be C,D and E respectively. If we will solve for X,we will get 16. That’s where the dilemma comes in. If the answer is 6,yes it is F, but 16? pwede rin!
1-10 is A-J, so the remaining 6 is from A-F. haha.
Natatawa tuloy mga classmates ko! weird daw ng explanations ko.
gudluck na lang po sa mga mananalo!
