Wave three cards
Category: me
Time: 12:00 AM

Wave three of the Perplex City puzzle cards is about to break over the heads of the people of Earth! At least, this is the content of the message I've received from Mind Candy and which my father would like me to publicise. I said: "Why can't you ask Scarlett to do it?" He said something about how her communications are patchy while she's in Tanraga. (Which, they are. I don't understand why, though - they just installed new transmitters three years ago. I remember the environmental protests.) I said: "Can't it wait until she's home?" He said no and muttered something about 'gracelessness'. So I said fine.

Here's the low-down then: Mind Candy are about to release Wave Three cards on Earth. Most of the packs will be mixed, with Wave One and Two cards as well as Wave Three. But Mind Candy have a limited number of Wave Three-only packs you can buy. They've asked me to make it a little tricky, though, so here's a quick riddle for you to solve - you'll need the answer before you can buy any Wave Three-only packs:

My first may be one thousand but my second comes to naught
My third's a buzzing thing. My fourth? Myself, I should have thought.
My fifth and sixth make up one word, another name for 'we'
Or the initials of that famed 'sweet land of liberty'.
My whole's a strip, a twist, with its upper and lower station
I am pronouced as if I said: "I, public transportation".

Once you know the answer, enter it below.

The riddle's answer:

And what is the password?

 		FYI, orders for these packs (once you solve Violet's riddle), are through Firebox, and are limited to 12 packs / person.

I got mine.

Go get yours.

 		The firebox page says

Quote:
To keep things fair amongst the most hardcore puzzle solvers we're restricting orders to a maximum of 3 sets (12 packs) per person, per day


per day!!!

I can see this being way too addictive,
People will need their daily fix
'just twelve more packs please!......' Wink

 		Similarly stupid - the puzzle is easy but the password, despite the nice hint, jojojojo, is screwing me. Maybe it's because it's not the 6th where I am yet . . .

Never mind - figured it out! Smile

Okay, nevermind. I've figured it out after I swept the dust off my brain. But they're sold out anyway. Boo.

Sad

Methinks the site says "not in stock" on account of them not being printed yet. We're supposed to pre-order them and wait for them to be printed. I haven't tried ordering any yet - have you tried and gotten a different result?

 		ARRRG!! I just bought a ton of cards through Jaffasworld. Ah well the puzzle was nice. (I was hoping the password would be used for something more cool though.) I hope it brings a lot of new people to Perplex City!
