Already solved?

[dopefiend]

i got a similar thing, though no message saying i'd already solved it....i hope they factor that kind of stuff in when "manually checking" entires- if duplicate entries are disqualified, we could get kicked out for having browser problems

YES! Solved and entered my info! I sure hope Gmail didn't hold it up so long that I'm not within the first 333. If it did I'm going to be really ticked off. I wonder what the package is?

It seems they sent mails to everyone who signed up at the perplexcity site although... I signed up twicw at different accounts so i can play at work and home and i only got one message to my work address; not private email.
How does that work?

I just got a box in the mail and it has a 1/333 piece of what appears to be a magical cube thingy, it's kind of hard to determine but it's grey like aluminum and it's smoldering where the raindrops hit it - but at least there are no kids playing on my lawn anymore.

This post is not true.

Yeah... because I had class I got to this one a bit late... Damn... I'm probably not going to get anything, and I even got the right answer without looking...

Ugh, my mail finally came through at 16:10 BST. It's a privately hosted account that has never taken more than about 5 mins to receive anything so I can only assume they were working through addresses alphabetically and it was going a little slower than the folks at MC expected.

Anyway, sent my details just after that. I'm hoping that there's not that many lurkers on here to post ahead of me.

And then I went to the pub

Quick question: Was there a space for your name on the form? I can't remember.

Yeah, it's hard to tell how many people are hitting this-hard to say how many figured it out but didn't post (it wasn't that hard a puzzle, after all), and it's hard to say who is checking their email at what time. Or even who got it-as some people say, it looks like it's going alphabetically.

For what it helps, my email starts with a c, and it's at gmail. I don't know exactly when I received it, though-about an hour ago? The email seems to think I got it six hours ago, but I checked then and had nothing. So I don't know how this is going.

I probably won't be one of the 333, though. But I wonder if they will use the addresses for something else afterwards?

The emails were routed through several 're-mailers', mine has a seven-o-clock time stamp (among others) - but it's just the local time of each machine the mailing passes through along the way.
