Ya know what would be great? Is if the person that started this (and other puzzle card) thread would post a picture of the puzzle card in the first post, so 1) those of us without the parcels can have fun without 2) having to chase down a picture over in the Updates section.
Thanks!

Yes it is a working phone number! It's a voice message from Violet (not voicemail: there's no opportunity to leave a message) inviting you to visit her website (http://www.quirkyacuity.com ).

It's nice to put a voice to the name, she sounded lovely on the phone
Notice how she said "millions of cards"...! Was it just a figure of speech, or will they really be printing millions of each one?
Just how many are they expecting to sell?? The £100,000 prize money seems like a drop in the ocean compared with all the money they're gonna make!

I really don't think they are going to make that much money. Considering they would need to sell 40,000 packs of cards to just to break even with the prize money. Assuming most of the players will be from this forum, thats a pretty high goal. Who knows, maybe perplexcity is/will be more popular that I think.

Hi, I'm trying to avoid reading the solve(s) before I figure it out myself, but I can't read the text. Anyone willing to transcribe it? Thanks.
