[Gibbet]

Woo, parcel has just arrived this morning from our lovely friends at Cognivia containing some shiny Perplex City Academy intelligence testing materials!

Haven't had a chance to look through all the bits and pieces yet, but will post in more detail when I have.

Included was a letter which says:

[duckiemonster]

*eyebrow* and are they actually allergic to capital letters?

EDIT: And Lola Porif? Sheesh... teh sneeky 3P must be behind this one.

[ryandrew]

That sneaky Sente intercepting our mail again!

EDIT:
Checked my mail.

[mattyjh]

interesting... Gibbet did you use "lightbulb" as your answer?

Just out of interest are you in US or UK? Just wondering if they're sending to only US addresses as the puzzle was in a US magazine...

EDIT: lol... Lola Porif *slaps head*

[sixsidedsquare]

Awesome! Mine arrived in the mail today too!
The letter is the same as Gibbet's, just with my name at the top and I'm guessing the other stuff in the pack is the same as his. No scanners or camera here, so that'll be up to Gibbet to post, or if anyone elses pack arrives and they beat him to the punch

Right! Time to get puzzling!! Only thing is, I submitted Elephant as my answer, so maybe they just took the first 100 logical submissions?

[ALISDAIRPARK]

if I remember correctly, 12 o'clock (midday) is the cut off for this, so I beleive that's back on you sixsided...

Gibbet, I think it's only right you enlighten people with the answer!
VG though.

EDIT: Ok so I guess it isn't Gibbet's joke, but come on guys...

[ryandrew]

I got mine today too. Sorry about the crappy camera phone quality, it is all I have right now!

[European Chris]

[jojojojo]

It was the most logical answer Chris.

[ryandrew]

Since it is now April 2nd, yeah they were fakes. Six made them. Fantastic work eh?

[sixsidedsquare]

Yeah, sorry about that guys and galls. It's fun what you can do with a phone camera, photoshop and boredom late at night.
I only wish we'd thought of this earlier, then we could have faked it leading right on to finding the cube

[DrKra37]

Aloha, eh? *fires up Mapquest* Hmmm.... Well, technically it's within driving range, but it's far enough away that I'd have to drive a good hour and a half each way. Not sure it's really worth it. Thanks for telling me, though! I may go there anyway

[jojojojo]

Erm, what has that ^ got to do with this thread?

[DrKra37]

It was sort of a side conversation between me and swinging along. As far as the phony materials, though, did nobody else notice the letters that were capitalized?

Although I did miss Lola Porif until duckie's post made me actually pay attention.

Well done, guys

[quote="swinging along"]Sure! In another thread someone said they sell cards at Rainy Day Games in Aloha, OR. I'll be jealous if that's close to you. quote]

Cool to see our store mentioned on the forums. Yes, we carry the product and most of us are addicted. I still need need some silvers so if local folks want to do trades through the store, just let me know.
