Here, when we open the MotoGP.jpg we see the image of a Bike racing track image. Also in the image, we can also see the name of the track.

MotoGP.jpg

So, googling the name of the company, we get the result to the first question. #1Question

With this, we identify that it was an image of a race event that actually happened. Now, since, we need to identify the Dates when this event took place, I google searched the image.

Pasted image 20260325204419.png#center

Then following the links of the visual matches of the image, we find that the event dates are quite confusing and unclear.

So, for that reason, we thought of identifying the meta data of the image using the exif tool.

Here, we get to know that the image was taken on 5th of october 2025. Hence we googled to see the event hosted at this circuit in 2025.

Hence we also find the answer to the second question here. #2Question

Now, to identify the name of the store where his friend had his food, we can start looking into the second image food.jpg.

At the first glance and then zooming into the image, we don't find much information. So, again using the google image search, we find the exact matches to the image.

Here, at the website, we get the name of the restaurant where his friend ate the Mexican food. #3Question

Pasted image 20260325205850.png#center

To identify when the image was taken, we can again use the exif tool to extract the meta data of the image.

Here we identify the Time when the image was taken answering the #4Question .

Now it is quite tricky. To identify the address of the bar. But we can break it down to find the information.

Here from the hint, it says: "Went to this cool MotoGP after party, and..., we assume that this party might be hosted or be a part of the event itself to celebrate the wins of the team. Hence might be scheduled or featured somewhere.

Hence, we can google about this event.

And we get the information about the Bar where this was hosted.

This answers our fifth question #5Question.

To find the DJ's stage name, we opened the Instagram page that was being featured by Google

Here, in the Instagram page, we can find the DJ's stage name:

This answers the sixth question #6Question .

Now, to identify the local caves that they could have gone together. We searched for any nearby caves from the bar using google maps.

This answers the seventh question #7Question .

This final question was a bit too deep to search for. To go straight to the point (instead of making you all open 50 tabs of your browsers.), Here we can see that the question has framed it as, The DJ, had an business of tour, and this being right after identifying the cave. There was a feeling of high connection of the Cave having something to do with the DJ.

Hence, we search for:

The reason why I am specifying FaceBook here because, I found this after a lot of digging and for some reason, google was not showing this result directly

and Here in the profile, we get the phone number being used by the DJ for his tour business.
