I've just had a nasty thought:

What if the cards you buy have a unique code (maybe under a scratch panel). When you enter the solution, you also have to enter this code to prove you bought the card. If the code/solution is correct, you get the points and no-one else would be able to use that combination.

I'm sure they wouldn't be that cruel, would they?

surely then though we could register our name on the leaderboard as UF, give everyone the login for it and do it that way?

Me happy!

I got a parcel - just discovered it resting peacefully in the mailbox when I got home from the clubs. Nice end to a good evening out.

It seems to be real and most people belive it will be awarded but your guess is as good as anyone else's as to if a prize really will be award to the cube finder.

Glad to hear that 11:58 was a parcel time-- means one's on its way. Then again given my post office in Harlem, god only knows when I'll get it-- possibly next April? Smile

To add my 2c (2p for all you Brits Smile

), ok so we're going to have to buy some cards. Fine. Honestly, I envision it being a game and competition of sorts, but still with some massive puzzle at the end that is going to take some serious mind bending to figure out. I envision the Leaderboard thing being an interesting "worthiness" test, but nothing more. If it becomes too hyper-competitve, I'll be out.. not what I signed on for-- but if its fun, why the hell not? Seriously, I envision the last puzzle being something so hard and random, and PitA, that it makes others seem trivial at best (think that damn marble puzzle at the end of Riven back in the day... and muliply it by that god forsaken postcard number= e * avagadro's #... and side note, may that number forever RIP)
