Starting Monday the 14th a new puzzle will show up at the link above. The quickest to solve will win tickets to the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend on May 19-20. Those who win tickets must pick them up from the Radio 1 roadshow the next day. Puzzles will be released daily for four days (Monday-Thursday) and tickets awarded the next day (Tuesday-Friday). Get it? Got it? Good!

I'm not near enough to any of those places to pick up tickets, nor could I make the actual festival next weekend, so should I win any, are there any volunteers who would like to go instead? Smile

First puzzle is called Lyrics:

And the pain was enough to make

A shy, bald, buddhist reflect

And plan a mass murder

____ said lied I'd to her?



But before she had time to accept it

Hits her over the ____, doesn't care if she's dead

Cause he's got all her jewelery and wallet



As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life and realise there's nuthin' left

'Cuz I've been blasting and laughing so long, that

Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it

Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of

You better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking

Or you and your homies might be ____ in chalk



And, all the friends lay down the flowers

Sit on the banks and drink for hours

Talk of the way they saw him ____



They've been going in and out of style

But they're guaranteed to raise a smile

So may I introduce to you

The act you've known for all these ____



I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

Get this party started on a ____ night



Well it's a Brimful of Asha on the 45

And singing

Illuminate the ____ streets and the cinema aisles



Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight

You know someone said that the world's a ____


And the question is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
who headlined last year saturday mainstage


and the answer is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
snow patrol


I got it right and got the following message:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Congratulations on solving the Lyrics puzzle. You've proven yourself as sharp as anyone in Perplex City, and are eligible to receive a pair of free tickets to the Big Weekend.

Send me an email if you want these tickets. BUT: unless you or a trusted person can pick up these tickets from Liverpool in person on Tuesday, do not bother emailing me. I won't post these tickets. In any case, you'll need to be resourceful for the challenges that await you.

Email me at cyrus532SPLATgmail.com with the subject artifice.

I'll only be contacting the first 3 or 4 people who email me. If you don't hear from me, that means I've already allocated all the tickets for today.

I must have sent mine a few minutes before ur post saying it had gone live. I wrote what i wrote in my last post, then somehow lost it all by clicking back, then u'd posted. So i'd say I mailed him about 15:03/4. Any chance at all I may get some tickets?

I can offer my services of picking up and posting, as I live pretty much in Liverpool City Centre. If by any chance I won some I wont be able to go, so someone could have them.... IF....
