Heydjrazz I'm hoping I get a parcel too, but I was just wondering if there was a way to figure out if you were one of the first 333 to enter the correct solution...a friend of mine got a message later than I after posting the correct 'puzzle' solution and got something like ' no longer accepting solutions'.......
watching and surfing with interest,

i have no idea i ran home and posted at about ...(im kinda guessing here)
8:45 gmt 3:45 est i know it was about 9:30 gmt when the site went down

but given there are still 190 some packages yet to be found ........

it starts to make you wonder if every one who put in the right code was sent a package and the page went down after the 333 person entered?

Of course, it had to be last week that I left the key to my mailbox 1000 miles away.

Just got my package. Looks like it was held up by US Customs for a while. Certainly took a long time to reach Michigan. I thought for sure that I hadn't made the 333, so it was a nice surprise to find waiting for me.

My number was 28, letter was "I".

Awww... I was really hoping I'd be one of the lucky 333... I'm in Illinois, and if it made it to Michigan already, I can't imagine that I wouldn't have one pack by now... oh well... gotta work some overtime to buy packs, I guess... (Time to move out some baseball cards from the foot locker in my mom's basement, cuz a whole new collection is coming in. Wink )

EDIT(orial):Before anyone makes a comment on "moving the baseball cards out of my mom's basement" take a look at my name, and throw the first stone. Laughing

Nice quotes DorkMaster. So, what exactly is going on here? Is this about the riddle email puzzle? My comp died right after I joined around the 21st, then I was away, so now I'm lost.

I only posted my letter yesterday when I came across the forum - it is quite possible to do as I did, and sign up based on spotting the previous ads in the Firebox catalogues and no more than a very mild casual interest. After all, all you needed to do was go to the perplexcity website previously and enter your email address, and the puzzle to get the 333 pack wasn't exactly difficult. Smile

So I imagine I'm not the only person who got one without any particular strong interest that might then lead them to search for related web forums...

It's related to the puzzle. If you answered the puzzle correctly, and were one of the first 333 people to do so, you were sent a package containing among other things, a set of "Perplex City" puzzle cards, a Leitmark (badge of puzzling honor) that says 333, a letter from Sente (only slightly different from the one on the Perplex City page,) some stickers, and a brochure for Perplex City.

At the bottom of the letter, is something like this:

number=letter

This thread is putting those numbers and letters together as we're fairly certain it will be a clue or something. Welcome back, though, and don't get discouraged when trying to get back into this one... while there's a lot of new info, most of the threads just devolve into spec, but I'd definitely read at least maybe the first three posts of each thread, to ensure you haven't missed anything.

Seriously don't just post i'm lost hold my hand in every thread follow the links and read ALL of that information. There are three other killroys that posted in this page alone and they didn't start off by begging for help please try harder to find some information on your own. And lastly Learn to use the search feature

We ARE certain that it says something.. we've got most of what it says. It's regarded places where they are going to sell the Perplex City puzzle cards

Dude, while your info was right... your attitude was a bit rough. Remember, everyone was a noob once, and we're trying to encourage more people to play... Now, back to fighting over that pile of dough. Wink
