You took the words right out of my mouth


May the person with the best refreshing skills win then.

Mine too.

And is the - Riddle with final code: Key with final clue "after 2" supposed to be the final pairing clue?

 		I think so, I'm not too sure but since I only have two guesses left I can't afford to make any more assumptions until a bit later. Or at least until this chest becomes available.

 		beta testing is for wussies!

It takes the excitment out of the "HOLY CRAP THAT TOTALLY IS FOOBARRED!" moment.

Yeah, this is quite upsetting, I have to leave soon and I was hoping to get my last solves in before then. I don't have a good chance without this final treasure clue.

Well, since I am out of guesses, I will go ahead and post my clue sheet here, hopefully someone can fix it if it's wrong and learn from it to maybe win.

Good luck to everyone else!

 		Hello
Hi!, I'm just a guest here, and I've used up my 10 passcode entries so far without any confirmation e-mails so far. So I guess it won't hurt me much if I post only some of what I've found Smile

I'm not sure where the others found the last pairing clue about after 2. I haven't seen anything other than a blank page and a key.


Well heres the pairing clues I've gotten, if it helps you win, gimme some $ Laughing

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
90 11 46 48 12

From the previous posts I've seen, my first clue doesn't match anyone else's so far

Alldressed up =9
to a T =T

9T=90

I got 12 from the treasure chest clues

Well, it looks like they changed it. Now it just says where the final clue was found & the treasure chest clue is up:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
6th Euler Number


I dont know if that is supposed to be the pairing clue or the treasure chest clue, because it certainly doesn't make sense either way. I've already used my 6 and I dont get how you can have 6 ordering clues for 5 pairs. I seriously can't believe that this is put on by professionals. Was their trial run this bad?

Oh, and it tells you to email Helen with your answer. Is that supposed to be before or after you get a non-existant confirmation?

 		I don't think we're supposed to email helen? In the official rules I thought we were just supposed to click on the tab and enter in our codes. I think the email part just helps the storyline.

 		$25,000 puzzle
From Answer.com - There is also an Euler number defined as a dimensionless momentum transport parameter. Note that e (mathematical symbol) is also occasionally called Euler's number. ...to confuse matters further... (I loved that part). Euler numbers are tools used when working with combination locks.

A lot of assumptions are being made about the quality of this game/site. 'Oh they don't even realize how easy you can hack the site...', these people signed in to the site with their id in order to perform their amazing stunts. Guess they assumed that security would not be recording every keystroke, etc while on the site ( Gotta make sure the kids are playing fair, don't ya know).

For $25,000 solving a puzzle, I would expect a dazzling amount of smoke and mirrors!

Please don't forget tip 5 '..Go over your clue sheet one last time,use what you know and make all 10 of your entries.!!! It's easy to win!!'

OH yeah, Hong Kong had 5 territories and nowadays only 4 are mentioned, typically. Why would someone assume that 1 is correct ('how do these look to you?)?

Last note, I'm sorry if I made any typos. You haven't seen any around here have you?

Lighten up and try to have fun.

Maybe if the story was compelling or even put together half-way decently. This is reminding me of the whole Sable + Shuck game: crappy execution. But at least S+S had a good story going for it in the beginning and some really nifty websites. (If it wasn't for the fact no one got the idea of using the ads until too late, there would have been a winner before the deadline). This game just has had bugs and more bugs and an utterly bizarre storyline that would belong in a soap opera. It really stopped being fun for me a while ago. I'm seriously only playing for the $ right now (something I've never been prone to do before).

But I don't even know if the $ can get me to come back for another week. It really is painful having to look through all these ugly flash things for the treasure chests and watch the horrific acting. It amazes me that someone might actually be sponsoring this crap.

 		Has anyone been able to find anything about this game anywhere but here (announcement and follow-up) and the riddleproductions website?

Why is there no other promotion?

 		No advertising either. Where's the revenue being generated?

 		Rules claimed a page with info and maybe pictures of the players may be posted on site. Anybody seen anything like that?

Sounds like none of the messages sent to them have been responded to, also.

Smell that?
