Wow!

Have you ever thought of a side line in authoring! This is a fantastic read! Really good attention to detail, but still retaining a good pace and readability! Fantastic!

Thanks for this - I wasn't even close but its so exciting to feel a little involved int he endgame!

Congrats!

Congratulations man. Can't believe that the cube has been so close to being under my nose for 3 years, given that I live in Stamford. I'd hazard a guess I'm possibly one of the closest to the location.

Its my own fault for not keeping up with the meta challenges. Too little time, too many excuses etc.

Congrats!!

I definitely got involved way too late to be of any assistance, so I'm glad someone heavily entrenched in the game won the prize.

And I seriously wish I could be in London for the party. Stupid not being able to afford flight/hotel costs and take time off from work to party.

Any Congrats and I'm sitting on the edge of my seat while I pretend to work, eagerly awaiting the end of the story.

evening all. Hawk here.

Just thought I'd Drop in to congratulate you again Rand0m. Truly I can agree with others in saying that the more I read, the more I think you deserved to find it.

You got one thing wrong though! I'm just an engineering student, and I'm afraid all my archaeological knowledge comes from having seen one-too-many episodes of time team! I'm gutted we didn't have a measuring tape on Saturday - I'd tried to get hold of one but not managed to, and figured we'd be ok without it - d'oh!

When Chippy and I found the hole on monday morning it was pretty obvious that it had to be the place, and the soil looked different, so I had to investigate to be sure. Anyways, I'll let you get back to telling your story.

All the best.

Hmm

Heh, if I'd had a chance to go back the one thing I was going to take was a 20 ammot length of string. It was rather difficult trying to measure it 3m at a time, on my own, in the moonlight. Especially at the wrong post, where there was that inconvenient tree smack-bang in the way!

That's what all the fence posts on the floor around the earthworks were for. I placed my two torches on the quadruped so I could tell I was staying on-line (one lighting the upright and one the middle leg), then placed a fence post at every 3m

One of the most interesting features of the Cube finding is how much self-doubt people felt, even though they knew they were close. This is perfectly understandable, I can see myself standing in the middle of a woods, looking for buried treasure but all the time saying "what am I doing here? This is ridiculous."

The single-mindedness, confidence and optimistic outlook of the treasure hunter is something I hadn't considered as being important before this.

As for

[LouMac]

Let me add my congratulations, also, rand0m! Great work, and even better storytelling.

I can see your memoirs now: "There and Back Again, and Again, and Once More: How I Found the Receda Cube"

Riveting mate! completely engrossing! please sir, can we have some more!!

Firstly, congrats Rand0m! This is just an incredible read! I'm in the US and was very lucky about a month ago to stumble onto these forums and get hooked on PerplexCity. Ever since I've been reading up on everything that has happened and buying and trying to solve as many cards as I can. I'm just so glad that I found out about this wonderful game in time to enjoy the story of the finding of the cube! Thanks for sharing all of these details that lead to the cubes unearthing.

Congrats Again!!!
