One clue references a poet, "Dichter Lieke __ (35) overleden" (Poet Lieke __ (35) deceased), suggesting a need to fill in a name and possibly a number related to her lifespan or a specific work. Another clue points to a song title, "โ€˜Hit โ€™__ Upโ€™, 2Pac" (Hit '__ Up', 2Pac), likely requiring the completion of a well-known song title by the artist 2Pac.
