Honestly, I don't care. You got there first. I was just the first to post the password. In the name of sportsmanship, I will withdraw any protest on my part. Give it to pajo.
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 puzzles, who posted the correct answer in all caps but had the all caps converted to lower-case, who answered first but missed out entering the password until a couple of minutes later, and to who tried to give their eligibility points away in good sportsmanship 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!!!) 1. staulcub 2. pajo_ojap 3. cloudcastles 4. cjsbug 5. hiurdin 6. jwcasser 7. da shiz wiz 19 8. Daldaris 9. KoOne23 10.warcrack & speed4mee 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 the final puzzle!
No, no I insist! (dang it just take it already. You're going to ruin my ploy to give you false security and swoop down at the last moment and snatch defeat from the teeth of victory.).
Final Puzzle? This is going to be very interesting.. Although Im sure the winner will be either staulcub or pajo. So its up to both of you to compete, while the rest of us can just either see or help.
Naw, I'm 100% positive staulcub had it wrapped up awhile ago. He just gets on such a roll. Solving 4 or more puzzles in a row. By my count he has answered 21 puzzles correctly. I have only answered 14. And we all know what happened with the last one, basically a tie. So I'm more or less settling/happy for second place which at the start didn't think I would even be close. (I feel for hiurdin at this point, because He is the one that would have given staulcub a run for his money.) I'm just trying to keep staulcub on his toes and really earn it. But yes I hope to be in competition on the last one. I much preferred the start time on this last one. I like it when garbot gives us a heads up. Well look at that. The time just flies when you're having fun. I think I have to call it a nite. I still can't believe how shaky I am from the adrenaline rush of the last puzzle. So I bid you all adieu, unless of course I can't sleep, than I might be back on later.
Wow! I can't believe that we are one puzzle away from calculating and announcing the grand prize winner, and completing my memory reconstruction! I'd like to take this chance to thank everyone for participating and helping me recover my memory! The teamwork and enthusiasm have been fantastic! Funny even though my memory is nearly at 100% I am still none the wiser about exactly who I am or what I'm doing here! Oh well hopefully when my memory is at 100% it will all come flooding back to me! I can't wait! I hope it's soon!
!!!!!!!!! OMG I think I can hear something coming from the other side of the door!!!!! cloudcastles? Could it really be you coming to my rescue? ??? I don't believe it it really sounds as if the door is being unlocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!! Thanks staulcub! .... It still sounds as if the door is being unlocked!! The suspense!! I suppose it is a really thick and complicated door! HURRY UP AND OPEN ALREADY!!!!
!!!!!! Maybe I'm just imagining that the door is unlocking! Maybe I'm losing it this close to the end!!!
Yes you are learning grasshopper. Nothing is ever as it seems. Actually as I mentioned to KoOne23, I was going to bed, but might be back. I decided I needed a hot bath to relieve the stress (its also good for my back and neck issues). I just got done and decide to see what was going on. Holy smokes, just about missed something here, but I'll hang out for a while longer and take it all in like the rest of you.
!!! Yes! The door is definitely being opened! I'm going to be rescued!!!! Oh wait maybe it's not a rescue maybe whoever put me in here to rot is coming back to finish the job!!! Aaaaaaah!!!!!!!!
