This is what a challenge feels like:
An intercepted report from a rival faction claims to have uncovered secrets about Solothurn's obsession with the number 11. One of their claims is false. Identify the incorrect statement: 'Solothurn's St. Ursus Cathedral has 11 altars. The city has 11 churches and chapels. The famous '11 i Uhr' clock on the UBS building strikes 11 times at 11:00. Solothurn was the 11th canton to join the Swiss Confederation.'
