 		 Clue 19
Well clue 19 is out and is pretty easy so no one should have a problem finding the site, however seeing the site load could be the issue here I am getting HTTP ERROR 500 showing so it has either blown it's bandwidth or a fuse, can anyone else get the site to load?

 		Site down
I get 500 Internal Server Error.

Can see the site on the google cache and it is the correct site because the million dollar button is there.

Keep trying and it does eventually open, and if anyone on this forum should find todays piece easy it should be you LOL

Just wondered has anyone here actually bought anything from a web site that has participated in this game or are you all much like me and go there with one purpose and hardly even take note of what the site actually sells?

The clues also seem to be getting a lot easier I wonder if the GJ clocked on to the fact that if the clue made people look over the whole site it killed their chances of selling the sites more than one piece of the puzzle, I notice that we have now reached the point where we have collected more than half the pieces that have been sold and no new pieces have been sold for a good few days now and that they changed the selling page back to enable sites to buy immediately and not just state an interest.

Is anyone running a book on how many pieces we can collect before the whole game goes belly up?

They might have planned it better if instead of making it increased prices for pieces but to have one flat rate price say £500 a piece and having it a 1100 piece jigsaw and for every 10 that sells the value of the 10th piece is donated to the charity hosting the 11th piece, also not requiring registration to play but a £1.50 registration fee to enter the prize fund. That way anyone can play the game but only a registered player could win it and providing registration was completed before the release of the 500th piece they would have in total generated more than enough revenue to cover the $1,000,000 prize and all their over heads, but then who am I to make such radical assumptions on a game and concept that is doing so well.

Yikes - finally found one on my 100% own.
It is exactly what the clue says - no scrambling or anything

I have not bought anything. I wanted to buy something for gifts at Woodies emporiam (T-shirts), but they were 22.5 pounds and in US dollars that was $45.00 plus shipping which is too expensive for a T-shirt (for me anyway).

The attached arrived today by "airmail" but apparently it was via carrier pigeon since it was mailed on July 28. Please note that the letter was dated two days before - and posted the day before - we registered despoiler. This only adds to the hilarity.

P.S. Clearly there were bonus clues on the back of the fancy stationery.

 		That is the biggest cop out i have ever heard, if you don't stop posting direct links we will pull the game. They are looking for an excuse because they haven't sold enough pieces.

 		I like the threatening legal action by people other than themselves.

And then the non-signing of the letter. That empty white space just speaks volumes. OF THREATS! Dun dun dunnnn.

Priceless.

 		I suppose they are going to sue google too because you can find the pieces through google searches.
