    3. At this point you have a choice:

    You can claim which Ezone.com app you would like as a prize, and earn SOME eligibilty points - which go towards your chance of winning the grand prize (A really cool hovering Parrot A.R.Drone).

    Thanks!!! I will very happily except.

    Once again sleep overcame all. I was out hard. I woke up minutes ago around 4:10am my time and low and behold another message had popped up on my phone. I'm still trying to figure out why only one since there have been a lot of responses here.

    Yep that was way to E asy. I agree it took me all of about 5 minutes (even half asleep) to figure that one out. Only wish I would have been awake to take a crack at it.

    You are on a definite roll buddy. You have a very fine set of detective skills there. And are able to think outside the box, which is a hard thing to learn.

    so a major congrats to you!!!

    Rank update!

    Okay... just for fun, I processed all of the data and posts on this thread to see where everyone stands (rank-wise) in the running for the Grand Prize...

    So far (taking into account who has solved the most, who has helped the most, who has tried the hardest, who has the best manners, who has accumulated the most eligibility points, who has been given the most eligibility points, who has really tried, who has dropped the most hints, who has given it their all despite chasing red herrings and going off on wild goose chases, who has finally understood the hints, who has used both sides of their brain to the fullest, who has stepped in at the last second to solve the puzzle, who has taken the wildest guesses, who has come up with the most amazing deciphering ideas, who has blown the most gaskets, who has lost the most sleep, who has shown the most devotion to deciphering, who was the fastest at solving the puzzles, who has solved the most puzzles in a row, who has spoon-fed the answer to other players, who has been spoon-fed the answer by other players, who has raced in at the last second and used the answer that someone had just provided without realising that they had just provided it, who has waited for everyone to go to sleep in order to solve the puzzlesÂ…etc) this is the updated top 10 list of names of who currently has the best chance of winning the grand prize of a Parrot AR. Drone (a cool hover toy!!!)

    9. KoOne23
    10.warcrack


    Note: This list may change depending on how the rest of the contest continues... As you can see (if you look through this thread)... we've had quite a shuffle of names as we've progressed through this contest! So you never know! You've got to be in it for a chance at the Grand Prize! So get in there!

    If your name hasn't made the list - you need to try harder (you may just be in position 11)!

    Extra note: You don't need to actually solve the puzzles in order to be eligible... you may earn eligibility by just being helpful in the thread!

    Good luck everyone!

    Be on the look out for more puzzles!!

    Gads I tried all types of capitalization of the word spoonerism except for the first letter capitalized...I would have kicked myself if I hadn't gotten this one.

    I nominate speed4me.

    You were probably like me and had spoonerism figured out awhile ago but since I couldn't get it to click, I was racking my brain for other solutions...even tried marrosky (another person it could be attributed to )

    cjsbug, I too learned a new word. I couldn't have told you what it meant before tonite.

    Well 4am is only 3 hours away for me, of which is the time I have to get moving this morning so its nigh nigh time.

    I have to congratulate garbot on mixing up the type of puzzles here at the very end. It gets you to think in more than one direction.
