 		Site's probably getting battered about now.

Nicely made site, though. Wonder how long this thing is.

Well, the Rules section mentioned three chapters, and this first chapter looks to have 15 puzzles...

Regarding the two disks: I got the colors matched up, but apparently that's not enough. The pieces need to be in the right places, whatever that may be.

Anyone get through this one?

*EDIT*
Never mind... Spun one wheel, spun it back and it went through.

 		Might as well dump what we know:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The lock has eight positions which it can be set at, and it has three buttons on it, corresponding to the different corners of the triangle. Almost all the numbers on the chart on the wall can correspond to a position of the lock, except that 21 in the middle. Whenever you push a button, a light on the edge lights up, up to six lights. So, I'm guessing there's six specific numbers that have to be picked, and the 21 is the key somehow...

 		Do we have a number key for the symbols anywhere?

ok since i can't figure out the GDAMN 2 circle puzzle i started to read the official rules, which is where it gets interesting. Apparently there is $100,000 on the line but the $100,000 is in the form of a jeweled "artifact" (or cash). BUT only 3 people get to compete for it at some live event (which another forum talked about a while back). Those 3 finalists are apparently the 1st 3 people to correctly solve the final puzzle which is released at a later date.

So crap, by helping one another we decrease our own chances of winning? WTF Catfight!

 		Pirates of the Caribbean did something similar, didn't they? Didn't they bury a jeep on an island or something crazy like that?

and why the hell are there 3 different bags in our little napsack, which we already know is mountain dew flavor and probably tastes like ass in a bottle.

Did you click on the "take a closer look" button?

I can see at least two things that could be a later clue: The arrows on the front of the bag (note that they're in different locations on each bag), and the colored numbered arrows on the lower-right corner of the back of the bags.

 		You gotta love it... Anyone look at their packaging?

Serving Size: 1oz (about 12 chips)
Servings per container: 13
Calories per serving: 140

Who are they kidding? Twelve chips is one serving? HA!

Also lists the ingredients; besides corn, I can't make out much else.
