We tried but couldn't make heads or tails of it (and when we hadn't drunk too much). So, knock yourselves out. See the poster here .
I solved this one over on Perplexorum yesterday afternoon. (YIPEE! My first real solve!!!)

Nice night, met some very nice people.
I think perhaps MikeyJ's post was meant to have either an attachment or a link to some pics but either way there don't seem to be any of the goody bag around, so see below (I took out the number on the key, just because).
Oops, quite right...pics are on my blog (the comments should be taken with a pinch of salt as the evening progresses). I'll upload big ones once I have internet access at home again

Man, I wish I could've afforded the trip ton London over the weekend. But it's a good thing I didn't fly over there. I was sick all last week. I'm glad everyone had a good time and I'm looking forward to a new season of puzzle solving.

P.S. If anyone wants to send me party swag, I am always available.

That would be neat, but no. On display next to the Cube was a case full of lecks, the reward money (although, as Rand0m has said, he didn't get any of it!). There's a picture here . Don't you just love flickr? Anywho, the only silver leitmark there was Rand0m's, and very pretty it was too.

Yeah, the prize money in Pounds Sterling hit my bank account in the middle of last week. Very scary it looked too.
And you know what was the first thing my bank did?
Cancelled my overdraft.
Edit: I'm not sure that is really what this was all about, though, is it?

Your bank might've contacted the police because if you were a banker and a massive sum of money coming you'd be scared...
P.S no idea of what an overdraft is but anyway (once again...I'm 12)

Two things I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else:
Before the party started (late!) Dan Hon came round the waiting throng videoing us all - hopefully this will appear somewhere soon.
Secondly a puzzle that was on one of the tables upstairs but I didn't see anywhere else. Probably just a bit of fun but here are the details:
It was on purple paper with the We "heart" Puzzles logo on the top. It read:
Addresses
All applications must be sent to the office on the third floor, there are only twelve offices on the third floor, which are consecutively ordered. The sum of the evenly numbered offices totals 390. Knowing that applications should go to the highest evenly numbered office on the third floor where should you send them?

I saw this in the flickr group, it actually read flour in two places instead of floor

I am feeling so sorry for myself right now. So I was amazingly lucky and got an invite with a plus one to the party. I told MC I was new to the game but really excited about it. Which I am. Only when it came to Saturday, all of my friends bailed on me, and I was too scared to go it alone, to a big party with all these veterans I didn't know.
So yeah. Really kicking myself now...
