Waiton on Clue 6.....

Well I had the email telling me clue 6 will be on the site at 7.35pm GMT (5 minutes later than last night) and hopefully it will be a clue for more than just one peice.

Somewhere on their site I am sure I read that there would be a average of 3 or 4 peices a day released so at this point in the game they are running righ on the lowest average (14 peices over 5 clues) and at this rate the puzzle won't be completed until 7th May 2010 Shocked

I think the slowing is the realisation that if they stuck to 4 peices a day they would run out of sold peices within 2 weeks, maybe what they need to do is lower the prices on the first 400 peices or so as they are the ones that will have millions chasing them and after that it becomes more down to hard core followers and what they don't explain to well to people buying the peices is just how much bandwidth it is going to cost their shops or sites with the extra surfers flooding through their doors and on the web bandwidth costs money so that will probably put potential buyers off if they ahve to spend upwards of �260 a peice and lose a years worth of bandwidth in a single day. I guess that became apparent and unacceptable to the first site that after a few hours threw all the bitz on one page and tole peop;le where to collect them LOL

I guess ideally on advertising potential the earliest peices ae the best ones as they are the ones that have the masses chasing them and towards the back end where they are priced extra high the follwoing will have dropped off to a much lower level and as a busness man myself I know I could probably get a much better deal on targeted advertising for my �5.880.00 than buying one of the last 20 peices of the jigsaw.

Anyway this post has filled a few minutes of the wait so that aint to bad LOL and good luck all on clue 6

Pieces and Clues

It would not surprise me at all if after 700 pieces have been used up and people have spent half their weeks searching around for them that they all appear on one page as a catch up for everyone.

The reason for this is that to justify the price of the last pieces it HAS to have a massive following and if 60% of the people that started out have dropped out because they couldn't find or missed out on clues then they would have a hard time selling the last bits at them prices.

Actually thinking about it I would expect them to maybe just post a whole page of sites that have pieces on them and then the sites themselves will have special offers on them for jigsawers, great continuous advertising with minimal potential site lagging.

And for god sakes someone SAVE this post as if this happens I am going to sue them for copying my thoughts like someone is doing to the guy that started facebook for a billion dollars or whatever LOL Razz

I thought the second clue was to the other one LOL I read it as the sharp for and the power refering to "the word" and the grip part refering to a writting instrument maybe a pen or something Rolling Eyes

I thought the first one was hinting at something disposable or recycled

Hell it's going to be hard if even the clues have multiple meanings LOL
