I'm actually quite upset, I logged into my google page, and the screen says "You have successfully completed 23 out of the 24 puzzles." However, I even got an email from them last week saying I completed all 24 puzzles and was successfully registered. Since I haven't been able to get the mail yet, my complaints might be in vein.

Well there is another difference between the crypteces that we got in the mail and the ones that you can buy at www.noblecollection.com. As you can see by the pix above, the teeth on the inside piece are sorely lacking in their ability to require a 5 letter word. You actually only need the word "???il" to open it. The 1st 3 don't matter. On the website, you can see that they have 5 teeth. It also says that you can easily change the code to whatever you want. But the contest winners have to take apart theirs to change it.

I sent an email to the people at www.noblecollection.com about our half functional cryptexs. and thought I would share with you guys. I'll also let you know if they respond. I'm kinda pissed about it.

Now that you put it in those words, I am pissed too.

The only positive is that this distinguishes between the prize ones and the store bought ones. Since the giveaways are limited edition, they should be worth more.

Note that at

www.noblecollection.com

they have a mini cryptex and a regular size one. What size is the cryptex everyone is receiving? Also noted the cryptex in the picture for the regular size. It only has the 3 teeth like the one in the picture of the forum. Note the mini cryptex has 5 teeth.

The one that we got in the mail is the mini (which has 5 teeth on the website)

I come to this conclusion by way of the tape measure.

Maybe I'll weld a chain to the two halves and make the worlds largest bike lock.

If it weren't for the meeting I had to go into right when the 24th puzzle was released, I would be doing the happy "I got a Cryptex" dance as well.

I haven't been home yet to see if I got one, but I highly doubt I was one of the 10,000 people when I solved the puzzle an hour and a half after it was released.

"Don't cry for me.... I'm already dead...."
