basically... one new puzzle is released everyday till the 11th of May. On that day... the first 10,000 people to finish the last puzzle will get to fill out a form and receive a package in the mail. Decipher the code in the package and it gives you instructions.. if you can get the instructions then you will be allowed to compete in the final set of puzzles.. the one to complete the final one in the fastest amount of time.. WINS... 4 round trip tickets to London, Paris, Madrid (i think) and New York.... plus laptops and tvs and stuff... so... if anyone is interested.. or gets stuck on one.. post here.. I am up to date on all of them.. some change and have a few different questions.. enjoy.

Incidentally, something kinda interesting.
The court case in the UK, where Dan Brown was being sued for plagiarism, had it's own little code to break from the judge!

Post by: Bellthazor on April 28, 2006, 01:38:50 pm: you must not have the same symbol horizontal or vertical in the same row, diagonal is ok.
Good luck... :)

The newest geography puzzle has me stumped.. I solved the puzzle but the word scramble is weird... I can't figure it out..

Post by: Jeyk on April 28, 2006, 04:32:49 pm: Oh, I thought (based on reading the instructions) that you had to have like symbols in a row or column (constituting at least a minimum of two like symbols, which is what I was trying to do). To furthur justify it, I only tried it for roughly 4 minutes while browsing other pages. :P

Half of 4 nights hotel accomidations at each city. Half of a Sony big flat screen and half a new Sony Viao... hmmmm.....
