Just wondering if you was one of the 100 people to get the IQ pack would you go it alone and do it proply or would you team up with others to get a higher score hoping it will get you some goodies? I would hope most people would do it the way its intended.

I'm guessing that the "intelligence testing packs" will be cards.

Yeah, I suspected that the first 100 would get free starter packs. That said, nobody has posted here that they received their rewards. Is it possible it's a lot harder than we thought? Or a total setup?

I'd be surprised if the answer required was anything shockingly complicated, after all this was intended as an advertisement for the game to attract new people. So you would want something that would give them an enjoyable challenge while still being fully solvable by the majority of people. As to nobody recieving packs yet, I'd suggest waiting until the edition is off the shelves and the ad goes out of circulation.

As much as would love some free cards, I hope we get some other form of goodies Wink

More random spec: What if the goodies we get are whatever we need to hack into Cognivia and figure out exactly what the hell it was that killed Cymbalisty?

The answer is...

The answer, I believe strongly:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Is Cognivia itself. This would be a clue for the perplex city game theory. Think about it...
Fake ads in magazines...
A Hint is Close by...
If your bright enought to find the puzzle on this page...
The answer is the actual advertisement. It leads to the website cognivia, which is fake. After all, one of the articles involves:

"Cognivia acquires 51% stake in Agilon AI

Cognivia has acquired a controlling stake in one of Perplex City's foremost artificial intelligence companies, Agilon AI."

Hmmm.....
I would answer with Cognivia. Smile
Lets see...


So, what do you think?

Within the world of Perplex City, the Cognivia website is not fake. Of course they are trading things we have never heard of, it is a different world.

The answer being Cognivia would be more credible if they didn't have the web address on the page, if maybe you had to search for it.

Thats the beauty of this so called puzzle. If you think outside the box, who would guess that the answer is right in front of their face. But, you are probably right, just a theory, and who knows, right... better than an elephant, and probably slightly better than a lightbulb...
