Well I did the final puzzle - now it's just waiting to see. I doubt I made it to the 5 finalists, my best was 25 attempts at 5 min, 7.79 sec.

The last one was not as hard after the others, just too many variables.

Good luck to all the players!

Yeah, I just did it and got 23 attempts in 4:22.36. Also probably not top-notch material. But I guess we'll see...

Well for whatever reason it said that I had used up my attempts after only 2 tries. I had some trouble getting it to load the second time and it gave me some sort of message about the puzzle not being available and that it wouldn't affect my times. Heh, it just took one try. Rolling Eyes

So, is this "grand prize puzzle" thing that was released today another one of those mastermind-esque thing? I dont like them (interface is not user-friendly), But i do agree that this is very well run

EDIT: I got 8 attempts and 7:37.... but i'm sure that i could cut my time in half if this interface wasnt so complicated

9 Attempts in 6:25:40 on my first attempt.

The way i'm doing it as about as efficient as I can think of, but I just know even 9 attempts will be beaten by someone with a lucky answer to match.

With 5000 people playing the last puzzle in the UK alone, it's likely someone did it in 3 or something silly Smile

EDIT::

8 Attempts in 4:37:84 on my second attempt.
7 Attempts in 4:11:57 on my last attempt.

Good Luck!

Somebody is bound to get 1 or 2 attempts. I got 7 in around 3 mins.

Just the luck of the draw. I'm sure whoever clicks the submit button and off the bat gets the success, if that's even possible, would be jumping up and down Smile

Second attempt was 6 in 3:15. I got a green off the bat. Smile

I got one more attempt that I"ll do over the weekend.

Dear Varin, your time was great. I guess someone must have got it in 4. I got it in 5 with just 2 letters the wrong way round, so I guess someone else was luckier. The chances of getting it in 3 would be pretty remote.
