Already received Wave 4 cards from Firebox? Did anybody else receive their pre-order cards from Firebox this morning?? Seems their efforts to have them arrive on the day of release has landed them on my doorstep 2 days early!!!

Yes. And they're shiny. And no, you can't solve them... as shown by my attempt to stick a code in for Dudeney's Medallion (which I'd already solved).

SOLVE NOT ALLOWED
Naughty, naughty. This wave of cards cannot be solved until Mon Jul 31 17:00:00 2006 GMT.

Just got mine this morning as well Even managed to get two silvers from the batch, yaaay! But also a load of duplicates.
But now we have two days to get our solves ready for Monday. I don't supposed anyone in the London area would be up for meeting up tomorrow to trade for wave 4 (and a few wave 3) duplicates and some brainstorming on the puzzles?

I'll throw some shapes in the air here and say why don't you say do this on Monday evening. Why don't you do it somewhere in Soho, hey wouldn't it be great idea to do this at...ohhhh....I don't know, the official wave 4 launch party?

Wait, that's sarcasm right?
Actually, getting together before allows us to brainstorm on solves before the submissions open on Monday, so we can be first submitters.
I am also planning on going to the event in soho, if you're going to be there too I'll look forward to hearing what your sarcasm sounds like in person

My cards also arrived this morning from Firebox - complete with 4 - yes 4 - silvers! (Plus a duplicate silver so 5 in total!)
Much chuffedness.
